I THE THEATRES 1
"WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE"
"When Dreams Come True," the first
musical comedy written by Philip Bar
tholomae. author of "Little Miss
Brown." "Very Good, Eddie," and "Over
Night," will be produced at the Court
theatre on next Saturday matinee and j
night. Silvio Hein, who wrote the score,
will be remembered as the composer of
some of the most pronounced light opera
successes.
The three acts of "When Dreams Come
True" are entirely different In outline,
tho first carrying somo dramatic touch
es as well as a number of comic situa
tions; the second is farcical and the
third has musical and dancing features.
Tho play contains no fewer than seven
teen dancing numbers, most of them in
vented and directed by William Pruette.
Jr.. the leading member of the cast. In
the company in addition to Air. Pruette
will be found Lorraine Lester, Carmen
Ercelle. Connie Alao, Anna Little, Helen
Freeborn, Harlan Briggs, Boy E. Butler.
Abbott Adams and F. C. Palmer among"
many others. A chorus of exceptionally
shapely and handsome young wom*>n will
uct as a background for tho principals.
INTOLERANCE
Tomorrow the seats will go on sale
for D. W. Griffith's latest spectacle, "In
lolerance," the attraction for February
6, 7 at the court Theatre. Two per
formances will be given daily.
Nothing comparable to this production
In size, novelty and entertaining quali
ties ever has been shown upon any stage,
it is said. Amazing magnitude and even
more amazing detail, a revolutionary
method of presenting four stories almost
simultaneously, and the most gigantic
settings ever erected for a theatrical
production, arc some of the most lmpres- ]
sive features of this spectacle. So in- J
teresting and important it its theme,
love's struggle throughout the ages, that i
prominent newspapers throughout the
?ountry have discussed it and praised it
?ditorially.
Six months at the LIverty Theatro,;|
Sew Tork, and Ions runs in Chicago,
Philadelphia, San Francisco. Los Angi-- |
es and Pittsburgh, testify to the popu
arlty of this new. creation.

WAGE DIFFICULTY
IS LIKELY TODAY
JOINT CONFERENCE CONTINUED
FROM YESTERDAY UNTIL
THIS AFTERNOON.
Report That Strike Had Been Called
is Erroneous ? Both Sides Think
Matter Will Be Adjusted.
| That Wheeling Traction company
| officials and tho trolley car men will
i arrive at a settlement of ihe wage dif
| ficulties today, is the opinion of 1ead
| ers on both sides. A conference has
i been called for 1 o'clock thix after- J
noon at the Island barn, at which the
men will present final proposition.
Excitement came last night at a
l rumored six o'clock strike on the
| Wheeling Traction company lines. !
That time had been set at a meet
| inp last Saturday as thf- hour when
I the men of the union wo Id take ac
tion, provided the wage s uation had'
I not been settled. But at . our o'clock
yesterday afternoon the .lectin? for
one o'clock today was cal'eil and the
six o'clock provision therewith can
celled.
The men want 32, 34 and 36 cents
an hour wage scale. They are now
receiving from 22 to 31 cents and the
company offered them a bonus of two
oents to be rejected at any pay day
before which any company rules had
been violated.
Just what agreement will be reach
ed this afternoon is a subject of spec
ulation. Resin Orr, international sec
retary of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Street and Electric Railway
employes, said last night that every
effort would be pushed to get the 32
34-36 cent scale this afternoon. Un
der no conditions, ?ald he,, would the
men agree to a rate as low as the
present, even with the two-cent bon
us attached. '
With Mr. Orr, the car men will be
represented this afternoon by the ex
ecutive board of Messrs. C. E. Bar
tlebaugh, president: B. D. Kennon,
member from -the Island barn; Ford
Moore, of the Island barn; Sam Wil
