THE STAGE
Toni Mcßae will be the conspicuous
figure in the Avenue theater uext week
In the leading comedy role of “The
New Century Girl*." Mcßae is the
author of the two-act mimical travesty
which will be staged, called “The Two
Plkere." Mcßae Is an eccentric com*
edlan entirely different from the usual
Hebrew, German or Irish laugh-maker
so familiar to burlesque patrons. As
sociated with him are Tom Nolan, Joe
Madden. Sadie Huested, Lydia Joepy,
Anna Myers, l>avis and Marvelle, ami
Johnson and Klllott. There will he
an olio of specialties and a chorus of
young women.
The mystery of "Red Ike," whose
name has been heralded iu bold red
type all over town as the ''‘•grouch
killer." has been solved. “Red Ike” is
a character In a western comedy play
let of that name, which Edward De-
Corsia and company will present in
the Miles theater, next week. “Red
Ike” la described as a scream from
start to finish, with plenty of western
atmosphere. Mr. DeCorsla. who playß
the leading role Is the author of the
playlet also. It tells how a western
sheriff. In love with a pretty "school-
Inarm," outwits his rival, the parson,
by Impersonating "Red Ike," a bad
man who has terrorized the whole
countryside. Supporting Mr. DeCor
sla will be Miss Helen I>e Sage and
Frsd I. Lewis.
Rose Pitonof, champion woman
iVtaUMT of the world and declared to
be the most powerful woman swimmer
known, will be the stellar feature of
the Temple program next week. She
will present a spectacular swimming
and dlv'ng exhibition, featuring the
famous "Pitonof stroke.” A massive
crystal tank will he used. Miss
Pitonof Is a young girl, weighs 114
pounds and stands four feet, ten Inch
es In height. She Is the holder of
numerous medals lor her water feats
and next summer will go to England
to attempt to swim the English chan
nel. hitherto accomplished by only one
man. Other specially attractive feat
ures of the game hill will be James 3.
Norton, "The had hoy” monologlst. and
Callahan and St. George, presenting
the musical skit, "The Old Neighbor
hood.”
The Bon Ton Burlesquers will he
next week's attraction In the Gayety
theater. The Bon Tons offer a musical
comedy built for burlesque purposes
called "Here. There and Everywhere
The company is headed by the well
known burlesque comedians. Bert
Baker and Lee Hickman. Babe I-a-
Tour, Margaret Lydia Berg
and Jessie Banks. A . special feature
of the show Is a college girl number
iu which sixteen young women pre
sent one of the prettiest chorus num
bers In burlesque.
f
Perhaps the most extraordinary play
bill ever printed for a performance of
"Hamlet," was used In Ireland. 173
years ago and is now in the posses
sion of E. H. Sothern, who with Miss
Marlowe will visit the Garrick theater,
the week of May 20. An exact copy of
the playbill follows: "Kilkenny Royal
theater. By his majesty's company of
comedians. The last night because
the company go tomorrow to Water
ford. On Saturday. May 14, 1739. will
be performed, by command of several
respectable people In this metropolis,
for the benefit of Mr. Kearns. "The
Tragedy of Hamlet." Hamlet by Mr.
Kearns (being his first appearance in
that oharacter), who between acts will
perform several solos on the patent
bagpipes, which play two tunes at the
same time Ophelia by Mrs. Prior,
who will introduce several favorite
airs in character, particularly “The
of Richmond Hill” and "We'll All
Be Happy Together.” from the revered
Mr, Dlbbin's oddities. The part* of
the king and queen, bv direction of
the Rev. Fr. O'Callaghan, will be
omitted as too Immoral for any stage.

young gentleman, being his first ap
pearance In public. The • Ghost, the

is one of Mr. Sothern's treasured pos
sessions in a play bill collection that
perhaps is unequalled.
Anew musical comedy called "The
Pearl Maiden" will be offered in the
Detroit opera house. Friday and Sat
urday evenings and Saturday after
noon, with a capable company oeaded
by Johnny Slavtn. The company is cn
Its way to Chicago for a summer en

nary run of musical shows in its locale
and story.

WOOD ALCOHOL SELLERS
SENT TO GERMAN PRISON
BERLIN, May 10. —The trial begun
on March 26, of the men accused of
being responsible for the wood alco
hol poisonings at Christmas among
inmates of the Municipal Night Shel
ter for*Homeless ended today.
A druggist, named Schartnacli, who
got and prepared the deadly spirit,
was sentenced to five years’ impris
onment. Two salesmen, named Zas
trow and Meyer, were each given two i
months in Jail. /
The Indictment, which speelfij£jL>s
deaths and & cases of total blinding,
alleged that the pure food law had
been violated. The figure 89, given
as the number of deaths, was taken
merely for convenience. Many more
deaths, it is now known, were due
to wood alcohol poisoning, and the
sale of the deleterious liquor is
known to have been going on for
years.
Meat Too Costly to BoJt.-
The high prices of meat are respon
sible for putting one local butcher
out of business. Augustus Moore, of
West Point st., closed his shop today
and declared that he would not re
open until lower prices prevail.
"I think the public is paying
enough for meat.” said Mr. Moore,
"and I have not the heart to increase
the prices to my customers. I could
go on and lose all the money I have
Invested, but rather than do that 1
prefer to close up and save what lit
tle I have been able to make."—

NEEDY COUNT GETS A JOB
AS MASTER OF KENNELS
PUEBLO, Col.. May 10.—Pueblo is
probably the only city In the country
which can boast of a member of tbo
nobility for a dog handler. Count Von
Bulow, of Germany, well-known in
many sections of the United States
and particularly In this city, who re
turned here a short time ago, strictly
"on his uppers,” has Just been tender
ed the position of master of the ken
nels In Pueblo.
During the last four or five years
Von Bulow, claiming to be a real
count, has been identified with some
remarkable performances of various
descriptions. His most noteworthy ac
complishment occurred three years
ago when, It Is alleged, he persuaded
a Pueblo woman* Mrs. Christina
Pflummer, w’ho had $300,000 in thq
bank, to marry him. VofttfTJulow, It
1h said, spent the money, his wile.de
serted him, then died, and he is back
In Pueblo, after an absence of two
years.
