THEATERS
CADILLAC.
Anew burlesque theater, represent
ing the entrance ot anew circuit
into the field of the burleita and the
olio’’ was opened, Sunday, when the
Cadillac, on Michlgau-av©., made its
bow to burlesque patrons. Sam
Levy, formerly of the Avenue the
ater, Is in charge, and the circuit is
to be known as the Progressive, with
18 theaters already working K. \V. j
Stair and Thomas 1). Sullian, of New
York, two of the leading spirits in !
the formation of the imw company '
were present for the opening.
The His? week's show is called the j
‘Stars of Sttgelund" and ha* Blanche
Haird as the center of the galaxy. I
She is an accomplished burlcsquer.
and she is backed by a good looking,
wel dressed chorus Eddie Dale, Joe
Kelley and A1 Li pm an contribute to
the laugh-producing, and Vesta l-ock
wood sings.
The lirst performance in tho new
playhouse brought out a capacity
crowd, which was evidently well
pleased with the entertainment.
GAYETY.
The Behman show, with Lew Kelly
in his old comedy role of Dr. Dope,
opened the regular burlesque season
before a large audience, in tin* Guy
ety. Sunday. Eliminating Kelly, whose
grotesque comedy kept tin* audience
in an uproar of laughtt r. there is little
merit in the performance. An excep
tion should be niude. however, in the
case of Eileen Sheridan, who sang
several musical numbers with good ef
feet. Miss Sheridan is possessed of a
well-modulated voice, which is in
agreeable contrast to the strident
tones of the average burlesque moral
ist.
The show opens with a burletta en
titled. "A Mixup at Newport," with
Freda Florence as the rich widow w ho
wished to marry her daughter to a
‘‘phony" count; Miss Sheridan as the
daughter, and Lon Hascall as her
sweetheart. The hit o: tiie act was
Lew Kelly s song, "The Most Content
ed Man." to which lie added several
verses of local application.
The second act was made up large
ly of a series of impersonations ot
well-known stars. Gertrude Lynch
gave a passable imitation of Eva Tan
gu&y, while Martelle as Julian Eltinge,
and Casmore and Dougla-s as Mont
gomery and Stone were quite convinc
ing.
Miss Lynch, with Casmore and
Douglas, later participated in several
dialogues which, to say the least, were
unusually broad in their suggestion.

ami telephone companies The Cedar I
exchange was temporarily incapaci
tated by tiie tearing down a half- j
mile of poles along Fort-at., near the \
Michigan Central tracks. Street car
servic» was paralyzed by accidents on
Grand Rlver-ave.. Trumbull-ave.. and
the Belt line and on the Orchard Lake
and Toledo interurban lines.
The weather man's survey of the ,
storm showed a drop in temperature i
of about 20 degrees, reaching a low |
mark of 66. and a laintall of l'7-100 j
of an inch
Minor accidents such as the blow j
tng down of trees and trolley poles, !
the filling up of sewers and the blow
ing in of windows were common uL
over the city.
J Bennett Jones. No. 102 I.afay
ette-blvd. was slightly shocked by
touching a trolley pole that was
charged from the loosi wires. lie j
went Into the midle of the street at j
one frantic leap, yelling that he was 1
dead. However, he was able to walk
into the drug store of Bertram Bros,
and be treated. Mr. Jones became
very much interested in telling just
how the accident happened. He was
explaining it with varia ions when a
I olicemnn arrived ami made an ofii
ciai demand for pariicuiars.
"Well, you see. it v.US like this."
said Jones, and in his enthusiasm he
walked out into tin* street and
touched the same trolley pole. Mt
was just like this.’ he said stretch
ing out big hand. Ihe policeman
watched him gravely as he was again
thrown, yelling, into the middle ot
the street.
Oh. yes," sai«l the policeman, l
see now just how it happened.”
Delray was the worst hit of the
suburbs, and there were no electric
lights in that village. Sunday night.
On tiie opposite shore. Xtnherstburg
and Sandwich suffered slight damage
’rom the wind Travel on the river
and on laike St. Clair was made prac
tically impossible for a while by the
fury of the wind, and the ferry ser
vice was suspended.
In Woodmere cemetery the debris
has so littered tiie ground that it is
thought possible a number of funerals
scheduled for today will have to be
postponed.
The fall of the stone column from
the Fort-sL church spire, which fur
nished the most spectacular incident
of the storm, damaged one of the most
beautiful buildings in the city. The
steeple has been pronounced by archi
tects and artists to be one of the finest
in the I’niteu States It is an exam
ple of the Gothic spire that has seldom
been equaled for grace of outline Th*<
damage to the spire can be easily re
paired.
SWEEPING REDUC TIONS
IN EXPRESS RATES
ORDERED FOR OUT. 15
(Continued from I'agf On**)
merce commission to revise express
avenues of transportation and elimi
nate circuitous and befuddling routes
is also organized by today's order.
The express rates shall not tie
higher in one direction than in an
other. for carrying parcels between
any two points is ordered. Even if
two or more carriers participate in
such service, the commission declares
the rates shall be uniform
1 Modification of rates on small par
cels, however, is the pre-eminent fea
ture of the new order.
Failure to make the rate reductions
sooner is explained by the commis
sion as a result of long continued in
vestigations and conferences to svoid
doing injustice either to shippers or
to the companies. Where the com
mission and the , companies "split"
was over the high percentage con
tracts the companies have with the
railroads for carrying express par
cels. The companies also contended
that parcel post competition would

Income.
On iheae point* the commission de
clared:
"N'o common ground could be
round, owing to the Impotability of
acceptance by the commission of the
percentage coutructs, ns making a
moral or legal necessity for higher
rates than eonld be otherwise justi
fied. Increased trathe has been in
sufficient to meet the increases ill
the demands of the rail carriers. The
Inevitable result must be to constant*
lv Increase the cost of service to the
shipper If the commission is to yield
to the demand."
Damper On Increases.
The commission declared that If It
accepted the railroads' express car
riage contracts as binding, the roads
could constantly Increase charges and
the public be gouged for continued
increases agreed upon by the rail
roads and the express concerns.
"A considerable part of the respon
dents' (the express coiupuniest argu

business to the part'd post will sti

all previous investigations valueless,

It may sound strange to
young readers, but at
first The Detroit Savings
Bank was kept open
only on Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays. Up
to 1881 the bank had
issued 31,000 deposit
books, all carefully pre
served. In May, 1883,
the number had grown
to over 45,000, and
when the Bank was 50
years old it counted
more than 90,000
accounts among its
records.
January 1, 1879, the
Bank removed to the
comer of Griswold and
Lamed streets, and on
March 1, 1906, occu
pied its present offices,

time, branch banking
