AT THE PANTAGES
There are eight pleasing acts
on the new weeks bill at the Pan
tages theater this week; every
one has something in it to recom
mend, and there are no "rough
going" spots on the program.
Murray K. Mill, who just tells
stories, tells them so well that he
leaves 'em laughing, proving
thereby that he is a youth with
discretion and wisdom beyond his
years. Haze] Folsoni, who is a
real good looker, uncorks a voice
that is very pleasant, and Hazel
has some songs that are worth
hearing twice over.
Rice, Bell and Baldwin enter
tain with a pantomime of the
"Karno" type; it is rather con
tinental in tone, but the clever
chaps in this trio had no difficulty
in tutting it across in good shape
last night. It is a copy act, but
a good one.
Others who help to while away
the time this week are Janet
London and company in a playlet;
Guistat and Berrio, Italian mu
sicians, the Almonds in dancing
and musical novelty work and
splendid "movies"—a colored de
piction of the Life of Christ, a
feature that is well worth taking
the youngsters to Bee.
I AT THE EMPRESS ?
• •
An insight into the doings of
secret orders, most particularly
what happens inside the initiation
chamber of horrors, is set forth
to the pleasure of Kmpress pa
trons this week in the headline
act, "The Wow-Wows."
There is enough comedy in
"The Wow-Wows" alone to make
the bill worth seeing, yet with
the comedy, "I Died," in the same
week's booking it is doubly bo.
"I Died" shows a husband,
supposedly dead, listening to his
wife and his best friend making
love over his bier. The act lacks
nothing funny.
Harry Sauber is a Hebrew co
median who finds a warm recep
tion with the audience.
Very choice trumpet selections
are those of Miss Inez Lawson, a
young woman who wears "some
gown."
Everybody has heard "Ay Bane
a Swade From Nord Daykota,"
but Girard of Biele and Girard
sings it again in a manner that
is good enough to bring down ac
claim.
The Three Alex are opening
the bill with aerial acrobatic
stunts that will please.
AT THE TACOMA
"Naughty Marietta," a comedy
opera in two actß, with music by
Victor Herbert, and book by Rida
Johnson Young, who laid her
scenes in New Orleans more than
a century ago, will be at the Ta
coma next Sunday.
David Warfield's popularity is
certainly phenomenal though not
surprising. In David Belasco's
new play, "The Return of Peter
Grimm," in which he appears at
the Tacoma next Monday and
Tuesday, all lovers of fine acting
are promised such a treat as only
VVarfleld himself can give.
FIND VIOLIN IN
REAR OF HOTEL
A violin, believed to be an In
strument of considerable value,
was found last night In the rear
of the Tacoma hotel, and is in
the hands of the police today.
A teamster discovered the in
strument In Its case, lying half
concealed under the shrubbery
back of the hostelry.
THE TACOMA TIMES
of the pier parted. Before Die sea
man could gain control of the
steering gear, the vessel was wal
lowing in a heavy sea.
A few momenta later she was
lifted like a Javelin by a huge
wave and shot into sand, at the
break of the surf. Low tide left
her In three feet of water.

GREEN STAMP
PEOPLE LOSE
Judge Cushman In the Federal
court this morning sustained the
demurrer of Judge Stiles to the
»uit brought by the Green Stamp
company in the name of McCor
ma<li Brothers, asking an injunc
tion to stop the city from enforc
ing its ordinance requiring every
dealer in the city who uses trad
ing stamps to pay a license of
$100.
Judge Cushman points out the
fact that the state supreme court
and the federal court have both
heretofore upheld the city ordin
ance. He says the place for the
stamp people to appear is in the
supreme court of the United
States and urges them to take
tho case right up to the highest
art in the land.
TO ARRAIGN
MEN TODAY

nizance. All have employed at

against them.
THERE WON'T BE
CENSUS TAKING
The city commission will prob
ably not tako a census of the city

ing reported that every evidence
indicates that people are coming
to Taeoma in droves and Cutnmli
sioner Mills saye he believes the
city will grow 25,000 in the pres
ent year. It was deemed wise not
to take a census until some of the
new population gets here and a
city census may bo taken next
year.
