The Candy Shop. ‘“The Candy Shop’s” sweets will be om sale at the Broadway theater for one performance on Thursday, Decem- Ber 9. Everyone familiar with the pres- ent year’s record of musical comedy knows that *“The Candy Shop” scored one of the big hits of the current the- etrical year, running all spring at the Knickerbocker theater, New York, con- tinuing its success all summer at the Studebaker theater, Chicago, and re- fing this hit in Boston, where it ‘but just ended an all-fall stay at the Tremont. Its sponsor is Charles Dillingham, who has already given us the fairly erfect musical comedy productions of ontgomery and Stone, Elsie Janis and Fritzi Scheff. The cast of the new gaiety may fair- 1y be said to be sensational, its list of g‘rrt:cipul including Rock.and Fulton, nk Lalor, May Boley, Mrs. Annie Yeamans, Florence Morrison, Douglas Stevenson, D. L. Dow, Edmund Law- rence, Kinzie Higgins, M’'lle Hayo and morae than half a hundred feminine and male characters. George V. Hobart wrote the book and lyrics and John L. Golden the acore. The story is all about the peo- le in a candy shop who go to Coney sland. BREED THEATER. “Benedict Arnold,” Masterpice of Mo- tion Pictures. A picture that is of great local in- terest was shown to crowded houses at both performances at the Breed theater yesterday, dealing with a na- tive of Norwich, and is entitled Bene- dict Arnold. This picture is a sur- prize to all, showing as it does the affectionate side of Arnold’s nature, as well as the terrible spirit of re- venge born of the bitter hatred of a amall nature. The story is told in a graphic man- mer and being photographed directls upon the spots made famous by the incidents that they represent, are ac- curate in thé extreme, and the clever strategy of Arnold is equalled by the willingness of Andre to attempt to pass through the contmental lines with the coveted plans that Arnold bad secured. It is a very brilliant picture, and the closing scenes of the | Jives of both men alre filled with touch- es of pathos, notwithstanding the mis- taken motives that led to their early death, Another magnificent film is the one entitled Up San Juan Hill, and repr:- ments the famous incidents that led up to the Spanish-American war, and the grefit battle of the Hill, and is one of the finest scenes shown in a long time. ‘This sure is a stirring battle picture end carries much romance and beau- ¥iful scenery. Miss Wolce~t is singing “Good Night, Dear,” the great metropolitan success, featured by Miss Billie Burk= in “Love ‘Watches.” Just Went Through the Form. That the “undying feminine” is re- wealed even in the militant suffragette was amusingly proven in a meeting of the Suffrage society, held in the New Century d not so very long ago. All of the women present are advo- cates of “parliamentary law,” and some are even teachers of that new fleld of women’s study, yet when it came to :lncuon time the feminine was to the ore. With becoming gravity, Miss Jane Campbell arose and named 23 new can- fidates for membership in the society. With equal gravity they were consid- ered, voted upon and declared elected. ‘Then, in a naive way that brought a Jaugh even from the serious-minded women present, Miss Campbell said: “We've notified all of them that they nre elected. You see, we felt sure there would be no opposition, so we thought we might as well send out all the notices and get it off our hands and—get the dues paid.” A Sharp Press Agent.

Sunday evenings after January 1 An Unfortunate Acquaintance. It was with a good deal of confidence that he walked up to the magistrate’s desk in the Front and Master street police station recently, notwithstand- ing the fact that a policeman had a firm hold on both sleeves. He waited quietly till one of the policemen had made the accusation of “drunk and disorderly,” and then asked Magistrate Scott if he might speak. “Yes,” replied the magistrate, “what have you to say?” - “Well, judge, I was drunk last night, but it éoes not often happen. I have lived in this ward nearly all my life and any oae can tell you that.” “Oh, lived here all your life, have you? Do you know any one in the ward that can speak for you?”’ asked the magistrate. “Yes,” said the prisoner, “T know He can téll you all about me.” “You know him, do you? Well, so do I.
