Whoever Is nominated this fell accepts only as a contingent candi date, his election being food only In the vent that the amendment carries. The railroad agents have not been as Inactive, however, as the politicians. The program, as It has been suggested ny a Burlington man.

In fact he hardly thinks It likely that he will cross the water with his bride until after the adjourn ment of congress.

Vubllc uneasiness ovar tlte Moroccan conference has undergone a dis tinct Improvement. This Is due mainly to the confident nttttude of the officials of " the Foreign office who consider the selec- lan government of Marquis Vlscontl VenosU to head Its delegation as strengthening the position of France. It is evident that the officials hold the view that if Franc can secure the support of the great powers having tangible inter ests In the Mediterranean and In Morocco It will be difficult for Germany to stand against the force of this moral Influence. Therefor Italy's choice of the Marquis Vlscontl Venosta, who was one of the earliest advocates of the Franco-Italian entente, strengthens the government' ex pectation of the united support of the leading Mediterranean powers. Trie martial tone of the press has con siderably diminished and the sensational branch of It no longer prints alarmist reports of the frontier preparation. Non the less, the public and the press continue, though with greater calmness, to discuss the imperative need of completing military preparation.

The dennument furnishes an even ing of unexcelled entertainment. There Is a well of humor to cause laughter, enough of the serious to feed reflection, a most 1 magnetic touch of love and scenes of ul- . most painful thrill.

There were other situatiulis besides these that Were lauThed ut. but none so undeserving or laughter. Once In long time the occasion rises when the audience, or the part or it that succeeds In making Itself heard the loud est, takes precedence ror criticism over the actors, and If this ever was the cane It certainly was so Sunday nieht. "Barbara Frletchle" Is neither tech nically nor popularly a good war drama, and because Clyde Fitch wrote It can , never make It so. The play was written for Miss Julia Marlowe in the title role, i and, as might be deduc ed. Barbara Is ex- actlv the "whole show." Miss Lang sue ceeds admirably with the part, despite the fact that at time one I oppressed with the reeling thut she Is surrounded, hemmed In nd talking to a lot or wnodn Indlsns. Mr. Todd us Arthur Frletchle doe nme what to relieve this obsession, as doe Mr. Davie, whose work us Gelwix Is praise Worthy. He is an actor who adda a sens. of reality und vigor to any scene he is in. Mr. Owen Is given little to do as Colonel Negly.

Mr. Morrison appears again, after a week's Illness, and playa the role of Captain Trumbull. He has not vet learned to do serious love with any degree of art. nor how to enun ciate such phrases as "my wife" properly, but he Is very fair In the freniled scene in act 3. As tor Miss ljing. her lighter acting In the first hair of the play Is dainty, sweet and free from affectation. The passages de manding strength and power are handled with skill that Is highly creditable. A noticeable development ill the expressive and musical qualities of h-r voice are con tinued. In th" scene the guarding of Barbara's lover she is superb. Her treat ment of the role Is simple and appealing, yet with dignity and conveying well the attiibues of a strong and noble, If eccentric character. Miss Davis uses opportunities to he spe cially vivacious and charming as Sue Royce. Miss Hudson has perhaps the best southern accent of the women. Vaudeville at the Crelghton-Orpheum. It's a big aliow at the Orpheum this week: big in several ways, ror it has been a long time since so many people were required to give the several act concerned on the pro gram, and then most or these are good enough to carry an ordinary bill through. And ror vaudeville purposes the arrange ment is Ideal. You are not asked to think: all you have to do Is to sit still and laugh or wonder and applaud. And you are laugh ing or applauding all the time. The eight Arabs, who arc not all Arabs, are a sp'endid lot of athletes, and do a whirlwind act ror rair. One or the really wonderful things of their performance Is the Tcut or a man who. apparently, does not weigh above ISO pounds, but who holds up seven of his fel low performers, the combined weight be ing upwards of half a ton. He stands us steady us a church under the territlc loud, and smiles benignly at the applauding spec tator. Their tumbling is marvelous, and the reception they got yesterday easily es tablishes a house record for enthusiasm. Lulgi Rossi and his trained horse, Emir, also scored u great hit. This horse plays with some approach to accuracy of time on several specially devised musical in struments, and also blows notes through a horn with a special mouthpiece. He adds some spice to the performance by contrib uting a little equine comedy. The Peklr Zouaves are a carefully drilled lot of young sters, who go through with a number of evolutions at double time and In good or der. Their alignment Is very nearly perfect and their turns and wheel are In perfect time. Their wall-scaling performance lack something, but is very creditable, and the whole act 1 good. Arthur Deniing furnishe the most of the comedy, with some new parodies und a lot of talk delivered in the way that he alone is master of, His act is a scream from start to finish. At the end he trie to put th audience to leep and does get a lot of them to yawning by hi foolery. James Donley and his companions, Dorothy Brenner and Ethel Rose, add a little fun to the bill with a neatly con ceived act. Mr. Claudius and Miss Scarlet play very well on the banjo. The artistic feature of the bill Is con trihuted by Miss Marion Carson, a demure and modest little miss of something like lii, who sing with a grown-up voice. It Is not a wonderful voice, but Is sweet and pure und is used with excellent Judg ment, so thut its exhibition wins ror Miss Carson much well deserved applause. The pictures in the kinodromc are good, the HI m or the "Watermelon Patch" being one of the best from the standpoint or pho tography ever shown hvre. 'Boar !' Vacation" at the Krug. George Sidney is buck again and. In the words of the circus poster, is "better than ever. ' Ills new arrungeme.it of nonsense is not merely a hunch of old Jnnk under another title. It is really new and most of It literally sparkles. Mr.- Sidney' own contribution to the bill has been much Im proved on and he is really funny and with out being noisy. George Cohan would have a fit if he ould hear Sidney's arrangement of the "Yankee Doodle" song. It is so good that It is better than the original. But Mr. Sidney ha folluwed his former wise policy and doesn't try to give the whole show. He is willing to let a lot of Ills specialists and comedians have a show, and each due a little something to show why he or she Is on the payroll. First in this list i Cathe.eynne Rowe Palmer (heavens! what a way to spell Katherine), who doe a grotesque character bit la belled "Snoopy Sal." Miss Palmer is good looking and clever and would be a winner in a straight part, but she is simply Im mense, in her comedy role. Hurry E. Baker helps her along with the speclulty in good shape.
