The first week's run was a big success, from the stand point of the people who saw the company. Lawrence has played In most of the cities on the coast, he ginning his popular run In San Diego some four years ago. "The Squaw Man," this week's play, is well rendered. The men have most of the prominent stunts, but the women had their inning last week. The story Is known to most everybody, and the biggest actors have played it. but the ver sion given here is excellent. Del Lawrence, taking the part of Jim Carstens. does very good work. Clara Myers takes the woman's lead role in fine style. The scenery and costumes are entirely satis factory, and show the care with which Lawrence carries out de tails. LAUDER ATTRACTION AT THE PANTAGES When Harry Lauder was here it's a fact that hundreds of people in the big audience enjoyed the other features on the program more than they did Lauder himself. Among the good attractions he had with him was the Marimbo band, and this is at the Pantages this week. It made a sure-enough impression at the vaudeville house yesterday. It's the queerest kind of a band you ever saw. There are five Central American boys in it. and they per form some of the most original kind of musical stunts. But see and en joy it. The rest of the hill is very good. "The Limit" is a jolly little sketch, and quite well done. The Mlllards, in "The Clodhopper and the Girl" are some fun and help digest your dinner. The Dixie Dandies are fair. SOME THREATS OF MOB VIOLENCE WATSEKA, 111., March 28 — Thieats of mob violence alleged to have been made against Mrs. .1. B. Sayler.

WOMAN YELLS BUI POLICE ARE MISSING For one hour and a half this morning a man and a woman fought on Riverside avenue in front of a rooming house at one side of the Calumet hotel, without police inter ference or a policeman anywhere in sight. The man wanted to take the 1 woman upstairs into the rooming house, and she objected. Toward the end of the controversy a crowd gathered, which looked on without interfering. Finally the man succeeded in get ting the woman upstairs, where she threw herself before one of the front windows and screamed for two hours more, without arousing police attention. Scores of the late night owls or early risers stopped to inquire the occasion for the woman's cries, but no one could answer. This is said to be a fair sample of the police protection received in the downtown district in the early hours of the morning. CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE (By United Press Leased Wire) HOT SPRINGS, Ark..
