Record Broken at the New Phillips.
All records for attendance at the
New lhillips vaudeville theatre were
broken yesterday both at the mati
nee and night performances, and the
day's attendance taken together was
the best in the history of the house.
Jt was a splendid-start for the year
li)0(J and Manager Murray was all
smiles last night. Last night the
crowd was so large that many were
not able to get in and the standing
room was so closely taken that it be
came almost uncomfortable.
The bill being put on this Aveek is
one that is highly, pleasing, taken as
a whole. The demonstrations with
liquid air, under the title of "The
Mysterious Crucible," are' of a mar
velous nature and are given just as
they are advertised. This feature is
one that will appeal not only to those
'who ordinarily attend the vaudeville,
but to hundreds of others who watc.Ii
the development ofsubjects of a sci
entific nature. Accompanying the
demonstrations there is a talk on
liquid air that is of a highly interest
ing nature. A cake of ice Avas set
on tire, a kettle of water was boiled
on a cake of ice, iron and steel were
turned to molten metal, steel bars
were Avelded together in a few sec
onds and a horseshoe Avas moulded
in a few seconds, just as advertised.
There is no illusion about the liquid
air demonstrations. All is done- in
the full view of the audience and it
js of a most remarkable and enter
taining nature.
Other features of the bill are also
worthy of 'mention. The Exerts put
-on a comedy sketch, Charles Miller,
monologist, made a decided hit in
black face, Mile. Aline demonstrated
her ability as a hoop roller and jug
gler. Addison and Livingston are
far above Ihe average in their com
edy skit Avhile the illustrated songs
arid motion pictires are of the best.
"Escaped from Sing Sing" is one of
the motion pictures, probably is as
good as any ever seen at tlip New
Phillips. There is little doubt that
t lie business will bo big ail week.
'
Uichard Carle's big and successful
musical play of last, season, "The
Maid and the Mummy," has started
auspiciously on its second prosper
ous year. This is the musical piece
that has the enviable record of a
three-months run in New. York, a
three months 'run in Philadelphia,
and a three months' run in Chicago.
The company is largely the- same as
itwas last winter, and the mechanical
and electrical effects are greater than
ever. Not satisfied with the dozen or
more song hits in the piece, Mr. Carle
last summer added one more, with
chorus accompaniment. It is the
chorus work in this musical melange
that has come in for the most ex-

company presenting it Avhich is the
same seen last season Avit-li the excep
tion of Hans Holjcrts. the clever ac
tor who plays the title role, is ade
quate in all the demands upon it by
t lie exciting play. The play has been
tersely described ;s 4a tale of love
and luck" and "n slice, of life." It
has received unstinted praise from
the metropolitan critics, both for the
matter it contains and the manner in
which the matter is presented.

Mr. Roberts, nearly numbers 150
people, are Miss Kathcrine Mnlkins,

Mae Reynolds, Dave Graham, Jr.,

dramatization of Henry M. Blossom,

part of the book is deA'oted to the old

another liberal part tells of the ex

.Lieutenant Ko Kurata occupied a pe

man for a soldier I ever knew. The

AAas especially charming. Iler name
translated into your language would
be Cherry. There Is little of the cherry
in our Japanese complexions, but there
was a slight tinge of red in. Cherry's
cheeks, and her eyes were very bright.
She was especially kind to me, and I
learned to look eagerly for her coming
to my bedside. Indeed Avhen she was
absent I was miserable.
That, I loved Cherry was revealed to
me in this Avise: Kurata occupied a cot
opposite mine, and one morning I saAV
Cherry go to him and ask Iioav Lie Avas
getting on. I saw tears in his eyes as
he replied. Tears in the eyes of a sol
dier! I gave way to the contempt I
had thus far repressed. . Then I save

and look tenderly in eyes that respond

was not at my side. That is Iioav I
learned that I loved Cherry.
We Avere setting ready for a fight,
and I insisted on being discharged
from the hospital that I might take
my place at the front. P.efore setting
forth I could not refrain from saying
some ill natured Avords to Cherry about
the sympathy that Aas passing be
tween lur and Kurata. I Avas so dis
agreeable abo'.t it that Cherry told me
to mind my own business. That busi
ness being to fight, I Avent forth to kill
as many Russians as possible.
This was just before the battle of
Liaoyang. Kurata rejoined us before
the fight or..-:ed, and. though his health
was 1'.- :r.:;' veil re-tored, his spirits
were nuu-h depressed. Ho seemed to

heat of the tight, but when our part iu
it Avas over he collapsed. We who had
watched his bravery Avith sin-prise and
admiration Avere suddenly turned back
to contempt at seeing him tumble over
In a faint. Some said that he had left
the hospital too soon. This satisfied
others, but I avus not iu a position to
do him justice.
On the third day of the fight I felt a
numbness in my leg and a sudden col
lapse of nerve poAver. Looking down,
I saAv a red stream running doAvu my
trousers into my boot. I tramped on
for a fw minutes, then sank doAvn and
in tin.u Avas carried to the rear on a
stretcher. A temporary hospital had
been set up in a field, -which Ava3
croAvded Avith wounded. Some of the
nurses I bad seen during my illness
wove there, but it Avas no place for
well persons rave surgeons, avIio were
cutting and saAving in the manner usu
al at a battle.
One slglit'l saw maddened me. Ku
rata had been severely Avounded,' and
kneeling beside him, holding bis hand
and encouraging him Avhile be waited
for a surgeon to attend him, Avas Cher
ry. Presently she Avent to one of the
surgeons, and I saw that, she Avas
pleading Avith him to go to her lover,
for I could not doubt that such was the
relation between her and Kurata. The
surgeon AA-ent Avith her and, unbutton
ing the wounded man's coat, ripped
open his shirt. Cherry Avas betAveen
me and the Avounded man, so that I
could not see Avhat Avas going on, but
there were some words between the
surgeon and Cherry, who got a blanket
and held it between Kurata and the
rest of. us.
I supposed that Kurata Avas liable to
die .under the extraction of the bullet
or whatever the surgeon should do la
him, but iu a field hospital filled with
men, some one of whom yvas dying
every few minutes, I could see no ne
cessity for f o much delicacy. But ay hat
could be expected iu the case of a man
Avho Avould faint after a fight? Well,
doubtless the boy had got his quietus,
and I should no longer be puzzled
about him.
When Kurata had been attended to
Cherry bent over him and kissed him.
Though I had long given her up to him,
the sight galled me, and I was mean
enough to Avish that Kurata might die
of his wouuds. Cherry, turning, noticed
me, and I saw anxiety in her eyes at
once. Coming to me, she begged me to
tell her how seriously I was hurt and
with an earnest interest that - under
other circumstances would have de
lighted me.
"Go," I said, "and attend to your cry
fcaby soldier. 1 can get on alone."
"The secret is out." she replied, "and
you may know that Kurata ts a girl."
So it Avas all explained.' Everything
Kurata hn 1 done vnis womanly, even
to standing up tn-;m.dy before "daiigar
and", collapsing' when 'there was 111 dan
ger. She lmd followed a lover and
come very near losing her life for doing
fo. I think she was afterward married
to him. And, as for Cherry, now that
peace has come, she is to be united to
