ed the next That is the only criticism
that can be offered to the show.
The splendid company presenting' it
worked in -whirlwind fashion and every
one in the company seemed impregnated
with the idea that the whole success
of the performance rested upon his or
her shoulders. That always makes for
success and the El Paso performance
was no exception, for throughout the
El Pasoans are glad they are on the two acts there was the heartiest ap-
theatrical map -when such shows as "The I plause from a tremendously enthusiastic
Oast Is Splendid and thej
Show Is Full of Breezy,
Kipping G-ood Stuff The
New Crawford Show.
Three Twins" come to town. Full of
clever specialties, unique scenic effects,
pretty girls, handsome boys really,
there were some good looking chorus
men in this show abbreviated skirts,
long skirts, tights pink, blue, green,
striped and then some more colors
.sparkling songs, inpersonations that
were the quintessence of excellence
and so many more things that it makes
the head roll to try to think of them.
"The Three Twins" is a muoical comedy
that explains for itself why it ran for
a year on Broadway before the people in
the provinces" got a chance to see it.
And the show was originated in Chicago,
too, and -with this against it, the fact
?hat it had a long New lork run, is all
the more proof that it Is good, for New
Tork never greets anything kindly from
Chicago. And Jos. Gaites and his road
manager, H. C. DeMuth, did not trim it
down -when they put the company on the
road, for it is not like many New Tork
successes traveling on its name -with, a
mediocre cast. The people in the com
pany are ail top notchers, from the star
to the wardrobe mistress and -the scene
shifters.
From the time the curtain went up
on a bunch of as pretty show girls as
ever wore long gowns and made the
front row occupants crane necks when
the hosiery display came in, for the
aext three hours, there was not a min
ute's time to catch a breath, except be
tween the two acts. Scenes and special
ties came thick and fast and dialogue
just as fast though it was not thick.
Quips and jests and jokes came so rap
idly that If you laughed as long as you
ought to at one funny thing, you miss-
who, by the way, is a peach of an actor,
and she plays her part splendidly. Miss
Gifford is quite a favorite with El Paso
ans, having now appeared here for three
seasons in succession, last year and the
year before as Florabelle Fly in "Little
Johnny Jones." In her "Little Miss
Uptodate" song she introduces all the
latest extreme fashion in hats, on her
accompaying chorus, and the effect is
most ludicrous. Miss Giftord has a
sweet voice, charming stage manner
ism, and a natural way about her act
ing that calls for approval ac once.
Miss Allen has a pretty soprano voice,
clear and vibrant, and sings with much
more expression than the usual musical
comedy singer possesses. This, Indeed,
was manifest in other members of the
cast. Miss Elena JSallinger sang well
and the chorus did especially good
work, singing the concerted numbers
with good volume, true tone and ex
cellent expression.
Victor Morley, who has the leading
comedy role, is a whole show, a clever
acentric dancer, a graceful poseur, a
jumping jack when the occasion de
mands a good-loosing, clear-cut, active
chap when not in disguise, won his au
dience from his first entrance. In the
second act in his specialty recitation
he kept the audience in a continuous
gusto of laughter, particularly with his
pathetic recital of .the man with one
hair. His parody on melodrama with
orchestral assistance, got him another
encore. He is good for the blues.
Miss Bessie Clifford, his dancing com
panion, is a delicately pretty little
thing, graceful as a fawn and mighty
clever with her teet; indeed, she danced
herself well into her audience's hearts.
She sings the "ifama Tama Man" that
made the show famous and rolls her
eyes just how she does it is a mystery,
but she does it like automobile wheels
on a runaway machine on a downgrade.
Such a show would be a welcome vis
itor to El Paso any time.

audience
"The Three Twins" is taken from the
old play of "Tom, Dick and Harry," but
it is surrounded with lots of clever
specialties. The particularly attractive
features of the performance are the
spectacular picture of "The Seven Ages"
in three tableaux; the electric swing,
which closed the first act, and is a
sensational novelty well worthy of such
a show; Mr. Morley's exceedingly clever
impersonations in the second act and
Miss Bessie Clifford's admirable danc
ing throughout the performance. All
through it are graceful songs, caramel
like ditties and brilliant orchestration,
making for a delicious and agreeable
ensemble.
The play has everything to make it
successful snappy music; pretty girls;
an almost endles variety of costumes;
more plot than the usual musical com
edy, a fine singing chorus of girls and
boys, laughable situations, good special
ties, picturesque lighting effects, cos
tumes abbreviated enough to suit the
most pronounced reformer who objects
to trailing skirts, and when you stir up
such a combination as that you are sure
to draw out a pleasing repast for those
who are to be entertained.
It would be hard to pick out the good
things and tell about them without
slighting somebody, but among the hits
was "Little Miss Uptodate", by Miss
Ada Gifford and Albert Livingston, and
chorus and the "Good Night, Sweet
heart,"' song, and "The Girl "Up There,"
sung- by Kate (Miss Minnie Allen).

ISTo interest, no taxes, no mortgage.' Of course
there will be a little water tax to pay. STow, if
you do this I will guarantee to produce enough
onions the first season to pay for the land. Of
course you will have to give me a start, but I
know what I can do and what I have always
done in this valley. I have some other good
friends and neighbors who will do as much for

a reputation for making men independent in this
valley as I have. Sister Grapes also has a repu

Have Evolved Some Strange and "Won
derful Theories Concerning
Stomach Treatment.
THE NEW CRAWFORD SHOW
The North stock company could not
have chosen a better vehicle for the dis
play of the talents of their two leading
people nor the entire company for that
ninttor than " Ttaohelor's Romance,"
at the Crawrorci
A Trial Package of Stuart's Djspepsla
Tablets Sent Free.
Within the last 20 years there has
sprung into existence theories by the
score relative to the kinds of food that
human beings should eat, and should
avoid. With the tremendous increase
in nervous and stomach diseases -which
are caused by the strenuous life of this
neurotic, neurasthenic age in -which we
live, we are constantly having our at
tention called to some food faddist's
"new "idea" on the subject of alimenta
tion. Most prominent among these theo
rists is the vegetarian who insists that
meat -was never intended for the hu
man stomach, despite the fact that his
Ancestors for 6000 years or more, used
it as their principal article of diet; and
I the old patriarchs of Biblical History
-who lived to prodigious old ages, were
meat eaters. All of the great nations of
history have been users of meat, and
all of the most powerful and advanced
countries of today employ it extensively
in their dietaries, and their superior de
velopment and high degree of civiliza
tion are in strong and striking con
trast to the decadent and degenerate
nations of Asia and the tropics, whose
inhabitants are vegetarians.
Another fallacy which has lately be
come a fad, is the so-called "low-pro-teid"
diet. Now, the foods whlch are
rich in proteids are the ones which
build up nerve, brain, muscle and blood,
so that any great reduction in the
amount of proteid used simply means
semi-starvation lor the most important
centers of the system the ones on
which we depend the most to enable us
to successfully fight the battles of life.
Thns( nations whose people use foods
containing but lltle proteid are never
of large frame or well-built. Tne japa

While the action might be faster and
it would improve the play the produc
tion n thp wholp is very satisfactory.
It is in four acts, with the usual North
detail as to special scenery, careiun
looked after Mr. Doxee, "scenic artist,
if you please. The play tells the story
of a literary critic old beyond his
years, a "book worm" and student
who has been left the care of a daugh
ter of his old friend, but sees her for
the first time after she has grown to
womanhood, and falls in love with her.
His love makes him young again and he
becomes his real self for her sake.
Lloyd Sabine, the new leading man, is
the critic and Miss Mabel Cullen, the
new leading woman is the -ward. This
is a production made famous by Sol
Smith Russell and the role of the critic
carries a vein of quaint comedy peculiar
to Russell plays, that is very pleasing.
The part also calls for some strong se
rious acting. In all of it Mr. Sabine is
fully competent and his acting is the
best he has yet done.
Miss Cullen really had little oppor
tunity In last week's bill her first El
Paso appearance but this week she has
a chance to do some really splendid
work and does it with most pleasing
satisfaction to her audience. As the
young girl, just budding to woman
hood with all the lightness of a girl's
heart, she makes the character a real
one, full of life and vivaclousness, not
too much, but just enough. Her love
for her guardian is beautiful and the
audience is glad in the end that she
marries mm instead of the young lit
erary fellow (Harry J. Scott), whose
head is suddenly affected by his capture
of first prize in j. story contest in
which the critic was the judge.
The entire company is cast for the
plav and there is not a poor part in it.
Jessica Parker is as refreshing and
likable as usual and again has a role
well suited to her capabilities. A. S.
Lewis as the young journalist with a
half Interest in a dress suit, who is in
love with her, makes a capital lover and

ORPHANAGE FOR
CATHOLIC CHILDREN
People of This City Making
Efforts to Have One Lo
cated Here.
For some time past, the Catholics of
El Paso, west Texas. Arizona and New
.Mexico have been considering the neces
sity of establishing a Catholic orphan
asylum and Ei Paso is the logical loca
tion for it.
At their last meeting, the Knights of
Columbus took the matter up and are
trying to urge the Catholics of this sec
tion to take up the matter and pusli it
through.
El Paso alone contributes about $2000
annually to the maintenance of the or
phans home at Dallas and the resi
dents of this territory do not benefit di
rectly thereby, so, it is argued, there
should be a home of this kind estab
lished here.
Two plans are being considered, one
for the orphans of El Paso alone and
the other embracing all the territory in
the section and it is probable that the
latter plan will be adopted.

CHAPTER XXIV,
Flinders.
If Halsey had only taken me fully
into his confidence through the whole
affair it would have been much sim
pler. If he had been altogether frank
about Jack Bailey, and if the day after
iiie fire he had told me what he sus
pected, there would have been no har
rowing period for all of us, with the
toy in danger. But young people re
fuse to profit by the experience of
their elders, and sometimes the elders
are the ones to suffer.
I was much used up the day after
the fire, and Gertrude insisted on my
going out. The machine was tempo
rar iy out of commission, and the car
riage horses had been sent to a farm
(Continued From Saturday.)
for the summer. Gertrude finally got
a trap from the Casanova liveryman,
and we went out. Just as we turned
from the drive into the road we passed
a woman. She had put down a small
valise, and stood inspecting the. house
and grounds minutely. I should hard
ly have noticed her had it not been
for the fact that she had been horribly
disfigured by smallpox.
"TJgh!" Gertrude said, when we had
passed, "what a face! I shall dream
cf it to-night Get up, Flinders."
"Flinders?" I asked. "Is that the
horse's name?"
"It is." She flicked the horse's
stubby mane with the whip. "He
didn't look like a livery horse, and
the liveryman said he had bought
him from the Armstrongs when they
purchased a couple of motors and cut
down the stable. Nice Flinders good
old boy!"
Flinders was certainly not a com
mon name for a horse, and yet the
youngster at Richfield had named his
prancing, curly-haired little horse
"Flinders! It set me to thinking.
At my request Halsey had already
sent word of the fire to the agent
from whom me had secured the house.
Also, he had called Mr. Jamieson by
telephone, and .somewhat guardedly
had told him of the previous night's
events. Mr. Jamieson promised to
come out that night and to bring an
other man with him. I did not con
sider It necessary to notify Mrs. Arm
strong, in the village. No doubt she
knew of the fire, and in view of my
refusal to give up the house an inter
view would probably have been un
pleasant enough. But as we passed
Dr. Walker's white and green house
I thought of something.
"Stop here, Gertrude," I said. "I
am going to get out."
"To see Louise?" she asked.
"No, I want to ask this young Walker
something."
She was curious, I knew, but I did
not wait to explain. I went up the
walk to the house, where a brass sign
at the side announced the office, and
went in. The reception room was
empty, but from the consultation
room beyond came the sound of two
voices, not very amicable. -
"It is an outrageous figure," some
one was storming. Then the doctor's
quiet tone, evidently not arguing,
merely stating something. But I had
not time to listen Jto some person

probably disputing his bill, so I
coughed. The voices ceased at once;
a door closed somewhere, and the doc-
tor entered from the hall of the house.
He looked sufficiently surprised at sea
