Unprécedented success is following the holiday week and that the bill is a most attractive one is evinced by the capacity houses attending. The pace set by the vaudeville bill of last week was a hard one to follow, but tke : management has succeeded in putting wogéther a show which equals if not excels that of last week. Coop- er starts the ball a-rolling in a ven- triloquial skecth entitled Fun in a Barber Shop.

Miss Edwards scored immediate success in the - Highland march song, Bonnie, My Highland Lassie. The ballad, No One Knows How Much I Miss You, was also favorably re- ceived. A strong bill of motion pictures will be presented today and tomorrow.

BROADWAY THEATER. “The White Squaw.” The _purport of the author in writ- ing “The White Squaw,” was to give the public a play which is founded on historical facts and to portray characters that have never before been placed on the stage. The hero- ine of the play, at the age of four, was found by the Chippewa Indian, Michabo, alone in the forest by the side of her dead father, and taken to his wigwag, where he and his wife, Ampata, having no children, loved and cared for her as their own. The white squaw reaches the age of eighteen without having seen a white woman that she can remember. The first one to come under her observation proves to be her own sister, who is of a de- cidedly different type, being a beauti- ful bionde. The comedy situations are unique and decidedly new. The two sisters being in love with the same man, the sacrifice and the love of Jacques Cautier for the white squaw, give us a plhy, though clean, full of | of comedy, heart’ interest and excep- tionally. strong dramatic situations. It is a play for children as well as grown people. “Charlotte Temple.” Can an author be sufficiently thanked who writes of the Revolution and lets George Washington sleep quietly and peacefully Iin his grave without mentioning him even once, and that when the greatest part of the action of the play takes place on American soil? We don’'t think so. therefore, .we «ender our most grate- ful thanks to the author of “Char- lotte Temple,” a play of 1776 with- out George Washington in it. Instead the story of the piay to be produced at the Broadway theater on Saturday, September 18, matinee and night, al- though it dates back more than a hun- dred and fifty years, is still a stor- of today. It deals with girls; with love; with men, some kind and chivalrous, some thoughtless, vain and unscrupu- tous, just as they are now, have been, and always will be. There is no zun play, no hiaden papers and treasures, nothing but real life, h~nniness and unhappiness, a play that makes each man feel responsible for his women- folk and each girl more thoughtful of herself. BREED THEATER. Leopard Queen,” Motion Picture. *The Sensational Another sensational attraction at the Breed theater for the remainder ol the week, is the great animal pie- ture entitled, “The Leopard Queen,” said to be the greatest motion picture ev:> produced, inasmuch as it is dif- ferent. This. reel is 1000 feet long, every inch of which contains a thrill. This bfll for the latter half of the week contains some of the very best in the field, there being comedy, scenic, magic, educational and dram- atic pictures, each one unequalled in its ‘line. A novelty in_ the musical line is .offered by Miss Alwin in the new bill, and she will sing the latest musical hit of the season, entitled “Happiness.” This great song is so unlike any other song, that it is uni- versally adopted by the profesion, all detlaring that it wins more encores for them than any other song in years. As an flustrated song she will sing “Just Like the Rose,” another song new to this city, and the wonderful fiower studies that accompany it are a positive deligit to the eye. Gets It Going and Ceming. The people who imagined that shoes would be any cheaper under the new tariff regulation of free entrance on foreign skins were building with but little hope, for experts in shoe prices now announce that such a result is impossible, and that instead of having lower prices the chances .are that prices will be higher, owing to the scarcitv of hides. People are said to be eating too little meat, and the less meat we eat the fewer hides are pro- duced in this country. The fewer hides, the higher the price. So, if we eat more meat the price of hides will be lowered. But the price of meat is goin~ up, an increase being announced very recently, so the poor consumer gets it going and coming. If he eats a lot of meat to increase the amount of hides it costs him a lot of money: if he fails to eat meat to produce hides the price of his shoes goes up. Fine. fine—Newburyport News.
