The Wednesday will be omitted as the be otherwise engaged. The produc- tlon of “The Girl in the Taxi” will be a hummer and capacity attendance will be in order. In the big cabaret scene members of the company and some special perfarmers will be seen in cabaret numbers The keen cut comedy and highly entertaining farce complications of this attraction are great. The Players have demon- strated their especial adaptability for comedy and patronage has indicated that this is the class of plays want- ed. The management therefore guar- antees this attraction as onc of the most delightful obtainable. The pop- ular favorites of the company will be found in roles which admit of them receiving more credit far extensive dramatic talent. Mr. Cross will pre- sent Carter DeHaven’s character as “Bertie Stewart,” the youngster who while in New York to have his wits sharpened, discovers ‘‘The Girl in the Taxi,” who is.in town while her hus- band is off at a military encampment. Miss Callaway presents the title role or ‘“Mignon,” as she is known to her husband, and also a few other nome de plume she has assumed while seeking a little frivolity in the big town. The character of “Mrs. Stew art,”” “Bertie’s” ma, in which Mrs. Hibbard is as usual sure to be most pleasing. Mr Birch, Mr. Fuller and Miss Bolton have cangenial role: The settings for the week are very at- tractive. which opens this be short one perform- production theater will RUSSIAN DANCERS LEAD KEENEY’S BILL For a special feature of the pro- gram this week, the management of Keeney's announces tie Imperial Four, the celebrated Russian dancers, who have been creating a sensation in metropolitan theaters since their arrival in this country. The quartet for a number of years was a favorite attraction in European music halls and the vaudeville impressarios of this country went to big expensc to get them here. There are two men | and two women in the act, They are | high salaried artists and it is expected that they will prove a big drawing card here. Four other big acts have been se- cured for this week's bill. The man- agement guarantces the program to be the equal of that given in any vaudeville house in the state. ¥rank Fay will appear in a rag- time singing act. This number is said to be of very high class and it has won great favor wherever it has been given, Scott and Raynor will offer a lively comedy. “The Cop and the Messen- ger” is the title of their unique num- ber. Character sketches will be a fea- ture of the act of Cecile, Ellrid and Carr, a trio of entertainers who are in the first rank of performers of their style. The Hearst-Selig weekly will top the motion picture ‘program tonight. “FAIRY AND WAIF” ARE AT FOX'S TODAY good attractions that appeal to the legion of patrons, screened ‘in ‘a manner that is abso- | lutely clear of any flicker, with music accompaniment that is indeed the high water mark in improvisation. Fox's has achieved the pinnacle of succes with its meritorious enter- tainment. That the management is determined to maintain the high grade feature attractions can be gleaned by the future bookings of some of the world's greatest produc- tions, Requests for the showing of that sensational masterpiece “The Hypocrites,” the same one that s startling the theater-going public in cach and every city where it is be- | ing exhibited have been received, and heeding to the demands of the patrons the management has booked this mag- | nificent production, and the dates of howing will be announced late he Heart of Maryland,” Leslie Car- ter's greatest triumph, has also been booked for future exhibition. This production it will be remembered is the identical one used by the Shu- berts in thelr massive Hippodrome, New York, with which they inaug- urated a photo-play policy. Today's and tomorrow’s program is a most delightful one, the big attrac- tion being “The Fairy and the Walf,” a Frohman production in five act: featuring Mary Miles Minter, Per Hilton and Will Archie. The story is delightful, sweet and dainty and will | surely please the old folks as well as the yvoungsters. The latest chapter of “The Black Box” will also be shown, “The Black Box” is a most | interesting and captivating serial motion-picture story, built expressly | for those who like the deep mystery and thrilling sort of plays. Today's Pathe News depicting the latest views from the theater of war, as well as the latest happenings our own coun- try over the past week, will fill out the educational portion of the varied bill A.B.JOHNSON, D.

The bamb that the Woman's Peace Party had been fearing has burst, but rot under the “peace ship” in which delegates are sailing to the conference Holland, but in the form of a written denunciation of the party by Theodore Roosevelt. The letter which Roosevelt wrote to Mrs. jeorge Iiublee, of Washington, containd many strong words of the short But the women are Mrs, Amos Pinchot and Birs. Henry Villard, perhaps the most promincnt members of the Woman's Peace Party now in this country, gave evidence in interviews that when necessary they can stand up and fight fer their principle There was a quiet sarcasm in Mrs. Villard’s manner as she pointed out that it was strange that a man who ence received the Nobel prize for ad- vancing peace should now, turn so hos- tile a face toward a movement which has universal peace as its one object. And Mrs. Pinchot was almost as scath- ing in some of the things she had to v. In answer to Roosevelt's refer- ence to those who stood on the wrong side of public matters during the Civil ‘War, she stated that if the colonel had lived then he would have been one of these who tried to force Lincoln’s Pand. She feels sure also that if l:cosevelt had lived several thousand vears ago he would have resisted to the last any attempt to allow laws to he made to settle disputes. Roosevelt’s Letters. Base— silly- futile— cowardly— these are some of the words which cecur and then re-occur in the letter which Roosevelt wrote to Mrs. Rublee. He says: “I emphatically advise you not to join such an organization. The platform of principles inclosed in your letter seems (o be both silly and base.” dently he wished to show a spirit discrimination, however, for he es on to s “This does not mean that all those signing it and cham- pioning it are silly. and base. It is un- fertunately true that the very worst movements in human history have sometimes had very high-minded men and women enlisted in their support. “Fifty vears ago the Copperheads of the north held exactly the views about peace which are set forth in the platform you Inclosed and to a man they voted against Abraham Lincoln. fhey did all they could to break up the Union and to secure the triumph cf slave: because they put peace as the highest of all gods, just exactly as it is put by the people who have con- structed that paper you sent me. “Moreover, a very large proportion of the peace-at-any-price or Copper- head sympathizers were undoubtedly physical cowards and equally un- doubtedly a very large proportion of ultro-pacificists of today who uphold such views as those outlined in the paper you inciosed, in championing peace without regard to righteousness, are really most influenced by physical cowardice. They fear death or pain or discomfort beyond everything else and like to hide their fear behind high sounding words. “Not one particle of good will be obtained by any such acton as that outlined in that paper you sent. But that is not all. It is base as well as futile. There is nothing more repul- sive than to see people agitating for general righteousness in the abstract when they dare not stan@ up against viickedness in the concrete.” Mrs. Villard wrote out this state- raent in reply to Mr. Roosevelt: (Lucy Huffaker York denunciation pariy comes “Colonel Roosevelt's ¢f the Woman's Peace possessor of the Nobel prize.

Tt indicates bad manners as well as bad temper. “The object of the Woman's Peace Party is to do away with War. Mr Tioosevelt not in sympathy with 1hat ideal. ISvidently he believes that vear is, in itself, a good thing. That conclusion is inevitable after reading this letter. If Roosevelt had lived come thousands of yeurs ago, when all disputes were settled by fighting hd there was no right .except that which came through might, he would have been against the forming of any by which men could settle their differences without killing each other. For force, not for law, he would have stood. “During the Civil war would have been among those who | tried to force Lincoln’s hand. Lincoln ! was a passivist as long as he could be, He didn’t rush into war in the bull- headed way which Roosevelt scems to advocate. He Dbelieved in war only when everythingelse had failed. Thera were those, it will be remembered, who called Lincoln names for this at- titude of his Little Klse Than Vituperation, “Abuse of ghose who differ in opinion from one is a poor substitute for argument. But it is to abuse that Ar. Roosevelt has resorted in this | ietter. In fact, T find it difficult to enswer something which is little less than vituperation. It is fortunate that the people of America as a whole do uot share his views on war and peace any more than they do on other ques- tions. He is known now as a rather superficial thinker. “Probably his extreme irritation is ised by Mr. Wilson's wise policy of peutrality.
