Johnny "Jones" Makes Good. That Norfolk theatcigoers may well , look forward to a treat In "Little John ny , Jones , " the great Cohan musical comedy which comes to the Auditori um Friday evening of this week , Is evidenced ( by the following from the Dally Calumet of South Chicago , 111. : The bust excelled Is perhaps the con cise and correct manner In which to dcfacrlbo "Little Johnny Jones" as pro- uentcd at the Calumet theater last night. In Monday evening's Lsuo It was stated that "Babes In Toyland" was not only the best show produced at the Calumet theater this season , but the best In many seasons of the Columbus Square playhouse's exist ence. The people who witnessed this play during the six performances which It gave at the Calumet readily admitted this fact. They compliment ed the management upon Us selection of so worthy an attraction and express ed a wish that It would continue to offer plays of that calibre. Few , if any , thought that a better play would bo presented at the Calumet mot this season. The first night audi ence last night , however , was most agreeably surprised with "Little Johnny Jones , " for they found It to be n more elaborate , a larger and , if pos sible n more thoroughly pleasing play than Victor Herbert's beautiful comic opera , "Babes In Toyland. " "Little Johnny Jones" as produced at the Cal umet last night was more of the South Chicago Ideal than Its predecessor. The magnitude of the production , with Its cast of fifty people , Its gorgeous costumes and its massive scenery , out- rivalling a large majority of the "stu pendous melodramas" produced at the Calumet , bewildered the nudlenco. It was one of the most agreeable sur prise ? that have greeted the patrons at tin local theater in years. George M. Cohan's plays have always - ways been great favorites with local 'theatergoers. His unique comedy , his 'sprightly ' music and dancing novelties i are of a type that always hit the target | of satisfaction with local people and 1 the tremendous success of the first presentation of "Little Johnny Jones" in South Chicago can easily be imag ined. With one accord the piece was pronounced "Immense" by the first nlghtors. The public Invariably labors under the impression that after ono or two season's shows and especially music al comedies commence to deteriorate. While this may be so in many in stances , It certainly Is not the case In regard to "Little Johnny Jones. " The production seen at the Calumet last night compares favorably with the original production In Chicago , at the Illinois theater , with the exception of the Cohans , who were In the cast of the piece In the first production. But those who have taken the places of the stars are very worthy success ors. The cast from top to bottom Is first class and the people have been well chosen for their respective parts. All the famous Cohan songs , twenty In number , have been retained. There is the same dashing humor and the melo dramatic incidents ho dear to the hearts of the Calumet playgoers. The sceneiy is new , massive and novel. Harry Moiton plays the part of "The Unknown , " and Is a real clover come dian. His acting provoked roars of laughter and caught the fancy of the South Chicagoans at the very start. His blunt retorts and novel comedy cieated one of the biggest hits of the show , while his slang teems to be already enjoying a place in the vocabulary - ulary of South Chicago. | Ghnd Ileubnor Interpiets the Cohan role to pei fection. Ho gives a most accurate impersonation of the "Yan kee Doodle Comedian. " sings in the snmo nasal tone , dances in the same weid ! manner and acts in the same sprightly manner as the man who wrote the play , composed the music and created the chat actor of "Little Johnny Jones. " Miss Amy Morton , who plays the part of Goldlo Gates and Impersonates Rosaria Fanchette , the French actress , and the Earl of Bloomsbury , Is nn actiess of pronounced ability. She sings well , dances gtacefully , her Impersonations - personations are voiy cle\er and she Is at all times equal to the occasion. William Laffoity ns Sing Song , the Chinese editor , Is a capable actor and does \\ell In a difficult pait. Miss Vera Edmunds also does well In the part of "Flora Belle Fly , " the newspaper wo- mnn , In a creditable manner. She Is a petite little lady and makes n pretty appearance. Ed Holbeit plays the bell boy and several other paits In a man ner that merits commendation. The remainder of the cas.t Is of high fatandaid and each one does well In his or her respective part. The chorus Is the laigest over seen at the Calumet and Is composed of pretty girls who wear stunnjng costumes , sing well and dance and drill very gracefully. This Is ono of the shows which Man ager Connors made his trip to Broad way to secure , and his efforts to get the very best for his patrons should bo rewarded by the patronage of local people to the extent of crowded houses during the remainder of the engage ment of "Little Johnny Jones. " The play deserves capacity audiences and now is the time for local people to convince the management that they want high class musical comedies. This Is n play that everyone is bound 1 to enjoy and It cannot bo too strongly recommended. Surely the theatergo ing public cannot ask for more. Violating Switch Order , Arrests of members of a Union Pa- otflo freight train crow tor defying the city and for violating the recent orders - ders Issued by the tallway ofllclals , may follow the "kicking" of a car incioss Not folk avenue In such violent I fashion as to shake a brake-man off the car and drop him to the giound. Jonn R. Hays saw the Incident andI has made complaint of It to Mn > or Filday. Mr. Hays declines that It Is nn open defiance to the city. Mr. Hays called attention of the engine niuinnn to the violation of the ( 01 alliance and to the fact that the lialii | 01 cw weio liable to auest. The Hi | email expressed contemptuous In- dlffcienco. , The conductor Is snld to have mete- \f | declined : "Ho teasonable. " Mr. Hajs was walking along Noifolk avenue , when the accident occuired. Ho , returned to the tracks to leant If the ( man had been Injured In his fall. liom j the car. Public sentiment In Norfolk Is very btrongly , against switching across the ( ucnuo and solidly In fnvoi of backing | up , any effoits necessary to put n stop to the practice. Fied Kane and John Hermann me cited as other witnesses to the acci dent. Major Friday said the crow of the Union Pacific tialn that were doing the switching would be anosted. Chief of Police Mnrquardt will get orders to this eftect Immediately. Attacks a Little Girl. Judge Elseley sentenced Robert Fenstermacher to 30 days In Jail for attempted criminal assault upon 13-year- old Anna Bruning. Fenster- mncher claimed he did not remember the Incident. Charged with attempting to assault 13-year-old Anna Bruning , Robert Fen- stermacher , aged 19 , a helper at the Northwestern turntable at the Junc tion , was arrested Monday noon. The alleged attempt upon the Bruning girl took place last Friday , but the little girl , fearing her father would kill her assailant , Is said to have withheld the story for three days , when It finally leaked out. A frightful struggle Is said to have taken place between the youth and the little girl , Fenstermacher still wearing marks of scratches said to have been Inflicted upon him by the girl's finger nails. Fenstermacher boarded at the Bruning house. Another Norfolk Burglary. A burglar entered the office of Dr. W. H. Pilger during the evening and , after turning his medicine cases and papers of his desk Into a topsy turvy condition , took two bottles of Pluto water. From the fact that the burglar rummaged through the desk where usually small amounts of money are kept , It Is believed he was familiar with the office. Nothing but the two bottles of Pluto water Is missing , al- though ono medicine case was broken. Rebuilt M. E. Church at Nlobrara. Nlobrara , Neb. , Nov. 9. Special to The News : The Methodist Episcopal congregation here have reconstructed their church building , making It prac tically new. On Sunday they rededl cated. Ex-Chancellor Huntlngton of the Nebraska Wesleyan , at University Place , preached the sermons and so llclted the money needed to cover the Indebtedness , and pledges were re clved for f 553. STEEL COACHES ON U. P. Non-Destructable Car Is Being Tested on Road. An all-steel pascenger chair car , absolutely Immune from destruction by fire and collision , In which wood Is an unknown quantity except In the window fiames , is being tried out by the Union Pacific railroad. When the St. Louis-Colorado Limited pulled outer or St. uouls Wednesday It cairled ono of these coaches on its maiden trip. It Is expected that similar cars will be carried by the Coloiado Special and the Chicago Special on the Union Pacific running between Omaha and Demer. The new coach Is radically differ ent from the old typo chair car. Be sides being entiiely constructed of steel It has many Innovations In the intci lor finish The scats may be raised by merely pressing a button , doing away with the levers and other mechanism in the old cats. Another feature of the new coach Is the syslem of ventilation. The cars are heated by the vapor system and are brilliantly lighted by elec- ti Iclty and gas. No. 13 , the Grand Island local , on the Union Pacific is cairying two of the new steel coaches on Its dally runs. The now coaches were built for the Oregon Railway and Navigation company , an allied road. They are being given several test runs before being sent out to Oregon. ANSWER IN 2-CENT CASE. Says Northwestern Has Increased Business. Lincoln , Nov. 9. Attorney General Thompson has filed In the federal court hero nn answer to the allega tlons of the Northwestern lallroad In Its attack upon the legality of the 2 cent faio law and the other railroad legislation enacted by the legislature of 1907. In denying the allegations of the railroad that the 2-cent fare law had caused a loss of revenue to the corpo rations the answer alleges the fact to be that the railroads have made more money under that law than they did make under a rate of 3 cents a mile when passes were in voguo. The answer sots out that the rail roads did not receive 3 cents a mile per passenger prior to 1907 , but re celvcd during the year ondlng Juno , 1907 , not more than 2.216 cents par passenger per mile. In that same year the railroads rocolved $1.417 gross rev enue per passenger train mile , whereas during the fiscal year ending June , 1909 , J1.G36 rorenue per passenger train I mile , an Incioase of 8.4 per cent. The gross passenger train revenue of the | Northwestern was not more than $1.638,9111.17 ! , and that the passenger tialn 1 earnings of complainant for thot year ; ondlng Juno 30 , 1909 , was not Joss , than $2,157,950.11 , an Increase In | | passenger tialn mlles In 1907 , was $1.2151 and for 1909 $1.209 , n de crease < of 2 miles used to carry the passengers | In 1907 was 1,155,870 , against i 1,199,085 for 1909 , an Increase In I train miles used of only 3.71 per cent. cent.The The passengers per train In 1907 nvoinged i 52 , In 190 ! ) the average was 07. ( The o | orating expenses per pas senger i train miles In 1907 was $1,234 and i for 1909 $1,209 , a docieaso of 2 per cent. The net Income of the road In 1907 was not moio than $2,200 a mile , . while for 1909 the net Income was not less ' than $2,3SO a mile fiom all busi ness. i The net operating Income for 1907 was not less than $2,423,000 and | for i 1009 it was $2,027,000. The answer alleges that the decreas ed freight and passenger rates has tended to Increase business rather than to cut down revenue. "JOHNNY JONES" SEAT SA1 > Will Start Thursday Morning Show Will Be a Good One. The scat sale for "Little Johnny Tones , " Cohan's great musical comedy success , which comes to the Norfolk Auditorium for the first time Friday night , will start at The News business office Thursday morning. Indications arc that the audience will be a big one. The show Is ono of the high grade kind , and the first Lilg musical comedy of the year for Norfolk. The company contains fifty people , Including three well known star comedians and n big bunch of pretty chorus girls. For the year past "Yankee Doodle Dandy , " Give My Regards to Broad' ' way" and other musical gems from "Little Johnny Jones" have been sung , whistled and played on the piano and orchestras all over the country. Therefore , to a large degree the music of the production is familiar to most of our theatergoers. No musical play has been presented In many seasons that has attained such an enormous degree of popularity as was attested last season by Its phenomenal run of almost an entire season in New York , over three months In Chicago , four weeks In Philadelphia and several weeks In Boston. Its present tour has been arranged only to embrace the principal cities , therefore , Norfolk can consider Itself fortunate In being In eluded In the list of cities to bo visit ed , by such a notable attraction. "Lit tle Jonnny Jones" was written by George M. Cohan , who also composed all the music , and has given the pres ent production the benefit of his per sonal stage management. Mr. Cohan is a prolific young writer , only twenty- seven years of age , yet ho Is the au > thor and composer of those three very successful musical plays , "Forty-five Minutes From Broadway , " "Tho Gov einor's Son" and "Running for Office , " In addition to a large number of vaudeville ville sketches and a formidable list of songs. "Little Johnny Jones" will be seen In this city with the same mammoth and complete production which characterized Its engagement In the principal cities last season. The scenery and wardrobe Is claimed to be among the most beautiful and exten sive in America , the three acts being gorgeously set to represent the ex < torlor of the Hotel Cecil in London , the steamship pier at Southampton , and a street scene In the Chinese quar ter of San Francisco , while the en semble wardrobe Includes cloven com plete changes , the whole representing an Investment of many thousands of dollars. The company Is one of the largest travelling , including fifty people ple and a cast of principals , embrac ing the names of many stage notables. Regarding Those Lights. W. J. Stndelman has Issued this statement regarding the strings of i electilc lights maintained across Nor [ folk a\enuo for use on special occa- , stons : I I Norfolk , Neb. , Nov. 8. I wish to 1 make the following statement In re ' gard to the strings of olectilc lights' 1 ' on Norfolk avenue. Two years ago ! thlity-two business men contributed [ $0.50. n total of $208. to defray the expense of Installing those lights. The original cost of Installation was $225. The current has been turned on about forty nights. Pai t of the expense has been paid by Individuals or organiza- , tlons using the same. The original plan of turning the lights on and off was for a man to go to each string , throwing a switch , and being compelled to do this work over when turning off the light. This made' ' the cost for this particular work too great. It was decided to stilng a clr cult connecting all the strings nt n common point , and In doing this all that is necessary Is to throw ono switch. There Is no way or means qf main taining thcFo HghJts other than by pub lic subscription , Io it was decided to dispose of them to the city for the actual amount of Indebtedness , which was $113.50 , and by action of the coun cil the lights wore purchased by the city. Difference between cost and do nations $ 17.00 Current 30.40 , Breakage and repairs 12.00 Man's time turning lights on and off 40.00 New circuit 44.10 i I Total $143.50 I make this statement In order to save any misunderstanding relative to the sale of the lights and to show that the money received Is for the purpose of paying off the debt. Hoping this Is satisfactory , I beg to remain Yours truly , W. J. Stadelman. IRONQUIL IN NEW YORK. The Kansas Rhymiter 8ltt to an Inter * vlower for a "Thumb-Nall Sketch. " From the New York Sun : Ironqulll of Kansas talked for half an hour Thursday 1 nftoinon to persuade n would-be Intel viewer from the Sun , that he didn't have any news to tell , ronqulll was right ; ho didn't. News was not what the would-be Inter viewer wanted , but a thumb-nail Im- iresulon of Ironqtilll of Kansas , and .hat ho did got , Iionqulll ? Why , he's the genial iptlmlHt who once made hiiniess , once was a soldier , once United states icnston commissioner and nil the tlmo undo poetiy. Eugene F. Wnio of Kansas , sir , and always glad to moot the young men who help make the lowspapers. Mr. Waio Is at the St. George , Brooklyn , for a few days. Ho Isn't to be heio for long , and ho Is not lore on any real purpose except to see the town glow. Came on from Chicago , whcio he had some legal business to attend to just came on to take a little look around. But toy hero permanently ? Not that as eng ns Kansas Is nn the map. Kan- Mis Is good enough for William Allen White and It's good enough for Eu gene F. Ware. Washington was al right for a while , the two years of 1902-1904 that he was holding down the desk of commissioner of pensions but ho was so mighty glad to get back to Kansas that ho has been feeling comfortable over It over since. Ironqulll has a way of rocking back and forth on his toes when he talks and ho throws his arms out In nn ex pansive gesture In emphasizing n point Just ns If he were going to lift a shock of corn. When ho said : "Why , I couldn't give you any news If I wanted to , " ho flung out his arms so that his watch and chain were en tirely unprotected. "Politics ? " he echoed. "Well , there you've got me. You know I am com paratively a stranger In New York , and -what chance has a stranger In New York got to know anything about New York's politics ? I don't believe there are so many Now York ers capable of knowing nil about their own politics ; It's such a tangled skein of yarn of yarns , I mean. "I cannot see how It Is that the po litical managers have already an nounced what the vote Is going to be. All of my friends with whom I have talked seem to be about to vote dif ferently than they have ever voted befoie , ; some of them were telling me they were going to vote for Hearst and some of them why they weren't going to vote for your justice who Is running. I believe I believe that when your political managers say they know what the result's going to be they're just fooling. " This Ironqulll of Kansas must sense the predominant characteristic of the present campaign else ho could never have been the author of those lines which run : When you consent to bo placed on a ticket , When you've made up your mind to run , Leg it your best the political thicket Tears off your clothes but makes lots of fun. If you're minus a vote or so , Smooth It over and let It go. Efforts and hopes may be lighter or graver. Either in politics , business or fame ; Things may be crooked and friend ships may waver , Nevertheless , the rule Is the same. Facts are facts. When you find It so , Smooth It over and let it go. "No , I don't write as much poetry , If you cal It that , as I used to , " this optimist of Kansas replied to a ques tlon. "At least I don't sign my name to them any more when I put them In the papers. For ono thing , I have a great deal to do with my law prac tice , and that doesn't give me time. Then some of my friends think I ought to outgrow It say I'm too old for that sort of thing. "Still , " and hero Ironqulll tipped back on his heels and down flatfooted - footed again , with a puckoi Ing around his eyes , "still 1 used to got a great Ideal of amusement out of it. Why , one time , not very long ago , I sent a little poem to the editor of the Sun ; told him I didn't want any money for It ; just wanted him to publish It if he thought ho liked it. Ho published It and then sent me n check . "I wrote back to him and told him I didn't want money paid for one of my Httlo childen ! , and I sent the check back to him. Ho sent It right back to mo.
