PREPARAO FOO FAIR CROWDS Even .Better Facilities Than Last Year Will Be Afforded to Street Car Patrons. HAVE TWO-MINUTE SERVICE Superintendent Announces Fast Connections When Crowds Are the Greatest. T. C. Brown, superintendent of Transportation of the traction com pany, who has just returned from Dallas, states that everything is in readiness for the handling of tne crowds that will come to San Antonio next month during the fair. He says that a full complement of men is on hand and that all the extra rolling stock in the sheds can be turned out for service and there, will be no Rou ble on that score. For this year Mr. Brown says that the service will be increased over that of the last oy th a addition of ten large double truck cars, which were received in the past several months. N. When the fair opens on the morn ing of November 5 the regular loop line service will be established to the fair grounds. Cars will start from ths corner of Houston and Navarro streets and thence south over Garde-1 and Presa streets out to the grounds. On the return to the city the cars will loop at the corner of Garden and Nueva streets to Dwyer avenue ana out to Main plaza. From there they will run north to Houston street and east on that street to Navarro street and back to the fair grounds. Cars will be operated from a two to a ten minute schedule, according to the number of people going to the grounds, and it is promised that enough will be on hand at all times to take care of the crowds. On arriv al of the cars opposite the fair grounds on South Presa street they will be run in over the loop, within one block of ithe subway and the main entrance. In the evening when there is some special attraction and large crowds on the grounds extra cars will be parked on tracks leaainK from the main line and will be ready at all times to carry the people back to the city. Mr. Brown says that the exhibits at the Dallas fair this year make a cred itable showing and that annual e/ent Is well attended. MAYOR’S MESSAGE MAILED TODAY Newspapers Throughout State, Except the Light and Gazette, Will Each Receive One. Mayor Callaghan’s annual message issued several months ago and inci dentally covering the progress of San Antonio during the last five years in a financial way will be responsible for much extra weight in the malls ship ped out of San Antonio this after noon and night. This is because scores of the books were mailed out today to all points in Texas. The mayor took special care thet the newspapers of the state outside of San Antonio were supplied with a copy of his annual message. That is to say the papers from which favora ble comment concerning the mavor has been clipped by the mayor’s ex change editor, will receive one of the booklets. For weeks, or since the campaign opened in this city for* a commission charter, the mayor lias caused to be established in his office an exchange table. In -other words he has managed to have the city govern ment put on the mailing list t-v u large number of state papers. Every day these papers are scanned by tha "editor” and when favorable com ment is found the stenographer is hastened to address a communication of thanks to the paper in question. One of the mayor's annual messages Is also forwarded to the newspaper. Prominent politicians of the stats were mailed a book and the mayors of the leading cities of thetstate were also on the list. A representative of the morning paper was honored with one of them, but as yet the mayor’s message in book form has not reached the Right and Gazette and a request for one from its represen tative was denied.

He will speak there tonight and will .then work up this way, closing his speech-making at I AMUSEMENTS QUARTET IS FEATURE “F NEW BILL AT ROYAL A quartet which not only exploits flocks of real harmony but which kicks in with a brand of comedy that makes more laughs than the proverbial box of monkeys is the fea ture of the new bill at the Royal. While the comedy idea may not be original, that fact doesn't detract from the merit of the act. and when the CalioiM 'song ended the session of melody and fun the Royal turned out a mighty satisfied crowd at all shows. The quartet calls itself the Melrose eomedy four and the ensemble em braces a dude, a Dutchman, an Uncle Sam and a “straight.” The efforts of the Dutchman to get to the dude keeps the house in a roar for twen ty minutes. The Sharrocks present a mental telepathy act far above the ordinary. The best feature of the act is the almost matter-of-fact way in which ♦he "Mlle.” works. She is a stun ning woman and makes her answers •n a rapid-fire manner that is indeed timely in view of the present-day speed craze. Ryan and Manning, while not a riot, present a very clever dancing act. their eccentric steps being par ticularly well executed. Elsie La Vadeau. called the "Sun shine Girl.” is pretty, dresses well and sings in a manner to make ev erybody like her. While her songs border on the naughty they are new *>nd tuneful and not nearly bad Brownsville, hfs home, town, on Mon day night. Nov. 7.

Wolff Bros, re quest the honor of your presence Many brides & honorees of mag nificient social functions to come are taking advantage of the Selling-Out at Wolffs’. One woman told us: “I had an idea that I couldn’t be pleased—that you had sold out everything that I'd want. But my daughter persuaded me to look •anyhow & I’ve saved a hundred dollars by it. I had no idea that your stock was so complete now." Tomorrow Is Dress-day You must not expect the lower priced dresses to ho here, unless you're In time. enough in their suggestion to hurt anybody. Rose Clark and Jeff Adler are bill ed as "The German, the Girl and the Voice," The voice is there stronger than the others, for Miss Clark real ly- sings well. The famous Royal orchestra was on the job as strong as ever and the first show was as well played as ft will be Friday night—and that's some help. Altogether it's a good show and three big Royals full of people were turned out yesterday with nothing hut kind words for the bill and the theater. Friday night the Joske Bros.’ Em ployes’ Benevolent association will furnish five acts, while the regular bill will also be put on. But one show will be given on this night. THE STAR. The cool autumnal weather yester day made it an ideal day for theater goers and all the theaters and mov ing picture shows were crowded. The Star, however, could not be called crowded, as that would inadequately describe the tremendous throngs that almost Impeded street traffic. Al most fighting to get in. the crowds were, however, good-natured to a de gree. The show measures up to the usual standard of the many excellent ones that the Star has had. Casetta and Asita, European whirl wind dancers, show a half dozen dif ferent dances, including two very difficult whirling dances. Mr. Wheeler is a good "single” wit, a verv good voice; his closing song. "A Minister’s Son,” Is well rendered and pleased thoroughly. Hayes. Roberts and Hayes have an especially classy act quite away from the • slap-bang comedy and alleged comedy acts. Some beautiful songs are rendered by lone Hayes and Mr. Roberts, and a duet by these two is I a treat. Mr. Hayes uses a piano dur- | Ing the act and*can certainly "use” । it. He is a wonderfully talented per former. and to hear him play is I worth the price of admission alone. I An enthusiastic encore induced him , to play another selection —a veritable; dream, exhibiting a wonderfully del- j icate. exquisite touch. Their act is one of the best of Its kind ever shown I locally. The musically inclined will; miss a treat if they do not see it. Several swell pictures are shown, on» especially, a comedy trick pic ture, laughable and puzzling, and an other showing the great, beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. ’•LULU’S HUSBANDS.” "Stunning" is an adjactive particu larly applicable to Julie Ring, who will appear here soon in the title role of "Lulu's Husbands." Miss Ring is classed as the best dressed woman on Prices on the dresses, $ 5 to $39 Values of the dresses, $lO to $75 our stage. The ability to wear clothes is as essential as the possession of fine apparel, and. .probably Miss Ring's marked style was acquired by virtue of her long residence abroad, for she is as great a favorite in Lon don and Paris aa her sister, Blanche Ring, is in New York. The much maltgned hobble skirt is an adjunct of Miss Ring's wardrobe. Made by Paquin of Paris, it is a genuine "cre ation,” and as such comes in for much comment by feminine admirers of Miss Ring. The Kansas editor who said that a woman in a hobble skirt reminded him of a frozen toed chicken on the trail of a grasshop per, probably never saw the one Miss Ring wears in the third act of Lulu's Husbands. Clothes, however, do not make a play, and in this regard it is said that Thompson Buchanan's comedy is about as near the essence of laughter as modern playwrights get. Maurice Soull, a Frenchman, wrote the original version, but it was hardly clean enough for American audiences, so Buchanan took the skeleton of Souli's story and wove about it a body of comedy which makes it acceptable to our tastes. Lulu is a dancer, and her press agent advertises for a husband for her, thinking that much publicity will re sult, for Lulu is a popular favorite. The husband selected for the sacrifice refuses to be jilted at the altar as Lulu plans, and madly insists upon a genuine ceremony. Lulu palms off s veiled substitute whom she later spirits away In a motor car. The de serted husband follows in a taxicab and Lulu has a very busy time ex plaining. excusing and prevaricating. Of course all ends merrily and to the ' discomfiture of the "fall guy." who I answered her ad. Lulu's Husbands' is announced for the Grand opera ■ hour for next Wednesday and Thurs- ' day nights and special matinee on ’ Thursday.

OCTOBER 24, 1910. Friday night and Saturday matinee and night and Walker Whiteside will be seen in the leading role of David Quixano, the young Russian student and musician. The play is said to be one of emotion, is quick and vivid, yet it is a work that first of all ap peals to the intelligence. The propo sition submitted by the play Is that America is the great melting pot in which racial hatred must be fused and transformed. An example of the bitterest persecution known to his tory. the persecution of the Jews bv the Russians, forms the basis of the plot. The love of the young man for the daughter of a Russian officer is said to lead to one of the finest dra matic situations that the stage has ♦o offer. WHAT HAPPENED TO T. R?
