CHAMPION EATER
Special to The Tribune.
Portland, Ore., Jan. 7.—Comes now
the champion flapjack eater of the
world, or one who lays claim to the
title, and he has a backer who issues

Valdimore Larsen, a ranch hand near
Antelope, eastern Oregon, is the man
with seemingly insatiable appetite for
the steaming hot cake. One night aft-
er supper recently conversation among
the men at the Brogan ranch, where
Larsen is employed, turned to what
they would like for breakfast. Lar-
sen declared for hot cakes and lots of
them.
Mrs. Brogan asked him how many
he would like and he thought twenty
would be about right for a light break-
fast. Now Mrs. Brogan’s hot cakes
are full man’s size and Tom Kenny
knew that twenty of them would be as
big as a large saddle blanket, so he

Eight years ago there were but seven-
teen “regular theaters in Manhattan,
while now there are more than forty.
The notable additions to the list with-
in the past three or four years include
the Hippodrome, Maxine Elliott’s, the
New Amsterdam, the Liberty, the Lyric,
the Astor, the Hudson, the Stuyvesant
and the New Theater. And still there
are more to come. Before the opening
of another season it is expected that
Brady’s New Netherlands and tne new
Shubert theater in 39th street will be
ready for business.

Live Stock and Poultry Exhibits Dra^
Many Visitors.
Special to The Tribune.
Denver, Col., Jan. 7.—-Many stock
raisers, commission men, representa-
tives of the big packing-houses and
other persons interested in the live
stock industry are in this city in an-
ticipation of the opening tomorrow of
the fifth annual National Stock Show.
During the week many carloads ofex-
hibits have arrived to bear out the
prediction of the management that the
show this year is to be the most nota-
ble affair of its kind ever held west
of Chicago. In conjunction with the
exhibition there will be held meetings
of the various beef-breeding associa-
tions, which will be, attended by stock-
men from every section of the United
States and Canada.
The Colorado Poultry Growers’ as-
sociation will holds its annual exhibi-
tion at the same time, and another
strong feature will be the display of
feed and forage used in the produc-

Commenting on Mrs. Leslie Carter,
who will come to the Grand Thurs-
day, matinee and night, - the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat says:
Whether Mrs. Carter could play a role
other than DuBarry, Zaza, Adrea and
the others that one thinks of in connec-
tion with her name, has been a question
that has caused considerable discus-
sion, but any one seeing her in her
new play, “Vasta Herne,” which she
presented at the Tulane last night, wil]
answer in the affirmative. Mrs. Carter

company, presenting a mystifying per-
formance entitled “Somnolency.” This
act is really a startler. No preten-
sions are made of employing the su-
pernatural, Mrs. Ray simply perform-
ing. her experiments and leaving the
audience to question themselves as to
how the results were obtained. Every
experiment is performed in the open,
with representatives from the audience
upon the stage.
It is stated that the. act has been
creating a sensation in the cities of
the south where it has been presented,
and the Galveston people are expected
to marvel a^. much as others have
done. To those who enjoy experiments
along this line next weeks' bill will
offer many revelations. Mrs. Ray ap-
pears in two parts of the program.
The two additional acts will be Eare
brothers, hand balancers and equili-
brists, and Grace Maloney, vocalist.
Both acts come highly recommended.
Plays and Players.
Julian Eltlnge has joined the Harry
Lauder Vaudeville show as a co-star
with the singer. The company is be-
ing booked independent. x
A new play by Sydney Rosenfield
called “The Children of Destiny” will
be produced by Henry B. Harris next
season.
Louise Gunning is to star in “The
Glassblowers,” an opera by John Philip
Sousa and Leonard Liebling.
Ruth St. Denis, who is making a de-
cided hit with her mystical Hindu
dances, was once an actress in Mrs.
Leslie Carter’s production fo “Du Bar-
ry.”
Nat Goodwin has forsaken mining
Christmas, is still idle, waiting time
assigned them by the Shuberts. Mhny
of the performers have gone into vau-
deville.
George Vann, whose embryo minstrel
show would have been at the People's
this week had that playhous remained
open, was recently badly jarred in a
railroad wreck in Arkansas.

misnomer to call it an opera. Some
persons were under the impression that
Haley’s grand opera of the same name
was to be performed. It would be more
appropriate to call the piece presented
a Jewish play with incidental music.
The story is practically the same as
that of the well-known opera. The
scene is laid in Constance in the year
1414. In brief, the incidents are:
Rachel, the daughter of a rich Jewish
jeweler, falls in love with a young man
named Samuel, who is actually Prince
Leopold of Constance in disguise, and
a Christian. Either of these facts would
be a sufficient barrier between him and
the jeweler’s daughter, and the com-
bination of the two proves to be a
veritable bombshell when revealed. In
spite of all, however, Rachel had de-
cided to fly with her lover in the time-
honored way, and they are intercepted
by her father, and to cap the climax
it is discovered that the prince is mar-
ried. After this there is nothing for
..Rachel to do decently but to die, which
she proceeds to do in the fifth act.

same little mannerisms,’ the same little
tricks of speech and gesticulation, the
same sobs in her voice which first won
hf21 fame as an emotional actress, but
in many ways the role is different from
the former ones she created . Last
year she produced “Kassa,” the first
new production under her own man-
agement, and won considerable favor
with it. This season her vehicle is
somewhat out of the ordinary. The

another attraction will be the horse
show, which will, be given every even-
ing during the coming week. A num-
ber of the prominent eastern stables
will be represented in this part of the
exhibition.
Miss Edna Brothers, who plays the
part of Emma Brooks in “Paid in Full,”
made her first appearance on the pro-
fessional stage about ten years ago in
Washington, D. C., in Robson and
Crane's “Henrietta.”
Announcement has been made of the

After several days of comparative
quiet in theatricals, there will be
somewhat of a picking up during the
coming seven days. Five attractions
are booked for the Grand during the
week beginning today, with “The
House of a Thousand Candles,” and
there are numerous matinees thrown
in for good measure.
The management of the Crystal
vaudeville theater promises a good bill
for the week, headed by Mrs. Anna
Eva Ray, in ‘Somnolency.”
The Y. M. C. A. Star course number,
the Genevieve Smith company, on Fri-
day night, the attraction which was
postponed from last night, promises to

•‘Jackson Day” to Be Celebrated With
Giant Conference of Leaders.
Special to The Tribune.
San Francisco, Cali., Jan. 7. The pi o-
gram of the Democrats of California
in regard to policies and .candidates
in the coming campaign is expected to
be well threshed out at the bi£ con-
ference of the party leaders which
began here today and will not con-
clude until tomorrow night. The os-
tensible purpose of the gathering is to
celebrate “Jackson Day” with speech
and oratory disseminating the party
doctrines, but it is believed that before
the conference adjourns the leaders will
have arrived at a pretty clear under-
standing as to who is likely to be the
standard bearer in the next campaign.
The powwow began today with ■ a
meeting of the State Editorial associa-
tion, the state committee and Demo-
cratic members of the legislature. To-
morrow morning there is to be a gen-
eral conference to which all of the par-
ty leaders, great and small, have been
invited. Theodore A. Bell will open
the conference with an address on the
policies of the Democratic party in Cal-
ifornia, and will be followed by other
leaders of equal prominence, who will
discuss the railroads, the tariff, the in-
come tax and other problems that are
expected to figure as issues in the
campaign. The deliberations will be
concluded tomorrow night with a big
banquet at the Argonaut Hotel.

Special to The Tribune.
New York, Jan. 7.—Another notable
addition will be made to the ever-in-
creasing list of playhouses in New
York, when Charles Dillingham’s Globe
theater, in Times Square, is opened
Monday night. The new theater is
destined to take rank among tne finest
playhouses in the country. Several
novel features have been introduced in
its construction. One of the most not-
able of these is a movable panel in
the ceiling which can be opened in
warm weather, allowing the audience
a view of the sky above the theater,
and permitting a complete ventilation
in summer time.
The interior design of the theater is
a modern representation of the archi-
tecture of the Louis XVI. Renaissance.
The general color scheme is of Rose
du Barry, with the walls of old gold,
blue and ivory white. The main ves-
tibule is designed to furnish a com-
modious promenade between the acts,
and there is a foyer on the level of the
first balcony intended for an out-of-
door promenade.
Mr. Dillingham intends the theater
primarily for stars and attractions un-
der his own management. “The Old
Town,” with Montgomery and Stone,
has been selected as the opening at-
traction.
The opening of the Globe again
draws attention to the unusually large
number of playhouses that have been
built in New York the past few years.

thority it is announced that he will

House Committee On the Judiciary Met
Today.
Special to The Tribune.
Washington, Jan. 7.—Consideration
of matters affecting the United States
courts began in earnest today when
the house committee on the judiciary
met to map out its work for tne ses-
sion. Wednesday next the committee
will give a hearing to representatives
of the American Bar association. A
bill to regulate the judicial procedure
of the United States and other meas-
are under consideration.

“The Girl Question.”
Coming to the Grand for a matinee
and night engagement Sunday is that
unsolvable problem set to music, “The
Girl Question.” It is full of dashing
action, ginger and (something is do-
ing) every minute from the rise of the
curtain and the two hours and thirty-
five minutes before the fall in the last
act, says an advance notice. All the
principal features seen here on its first
visit, last year, are retained and many
new ones added. The fun is fast and
furious, the music bright and the
words of the songs are instantaneously
caught up, not only by the boys in the
gallery, but from those in the lower
part of the house as well. John L.
Kearney, as Con Ryan, the manager of
the restaurant, never has been so
heavily cast in any part as he is this
year. He has every opportunity for
showing his wonderful vesatility and
cleverness. His rapid flow of Ameri-
can patois and chop-house-squab Eng-
lish are sufficient to keep him busy
•during his entanglement scenes, and
the perplexing proposition he is at-
tempting to solve in endeavoring to
have two girls to give him some dis-
entanglement to “The Girl Question.”
Petite and handsome little Dorothy
Maynard (Elsie Davis) is the cashier
in the same restaurant with Con, who
thinks he is really in love with her,
but is afraid he is not good enough.
Little Elsie really knows that he has
not got a chance in the world, be- finished work in this part, and

offered to bet S5 that Larsen couldn’t

Next morning at breakfast Larsen

could easily eat more if he wanted to

heavy breakfast that morning.
Kenny observed the ease with which
the victor absorbed the hot cakes and
stated later he believed Larsen could

were in sight. He stands ready to

With Success
on German Roads.
Successful experiments have been
conducted in Germany with a new com-
pound known as “apokonin,” for lay-
ing dust and improving the surface of
loads, and technical observers believe
that it is the best and most lasting road
covering yet produced. Ralph C. Bus-
ser, an American consul, says that the
process of manufacture is secret, but it
is known that coal tar oils are the main
ingredients. The heavy penetrating
qualities of the oils give great binding
power to the composition, and this, to-
gether with the pressure applied pro-
duces a formation iron-like in its con-
sistency, making the surface of the
road so smooth and hard that snow and
rain water can not penetrate. Another
important advantage lies in its sani-
tary qualities, as it is asserted that the
creosote present in the coal tars, to-
gether with the high temperature of the
composition, combine to detsroy all the
bacteria in the dust.
‘■The Golden Girl.”
Of “The Golden Girl,” which comes to
the Grand Wednesday matinee and
night, the Nashville American, said re-
cently:
“Not often does an almost unknown
musical play make so unqualified and
decided a ten-strike with a Nashville
audience as did “The Golden Girl” at
the Vendome last night, when it was
presented for the first of three per-
formances, the other two coming this
afternoon and tonight. The Mort H.
Singer production has all that could
have been asked, while the joint work
of Hough, Adams- and Howard was
largely successful in the amusingly
tuneful piece.
“ ‘The Golden Girl’ is strictly a show
piece of the true sense of the word,
consisting of glittering color, brilliant
costumes, vociferous singing and vio-
lent dancing. The performers showed
not only technical skill and grace, but
an ardor an enthusiasm that was re-
freshingly delightful. The ensemble
effects, the intricate drills, the cleverly
role is conventional to a certain extent,
the woman with the past, likewise a
present, but while the past is of the
conventional order for emotional roles,
the present is somewhat different, in-
asmuch as the heroine, beside being
bothered with the person concerned
with her1 past, has the drug habit to
contend with.
Vesta is an
course to laudanum for inspiration to
write at the command of her publish-
er, who holds the secret of her past.
To digress slightly, Vesta might have
written some of the best sellers that
have been inflicted on the public
past years.
The entire burden of the play falls
on Mrs. Carter, and she saves it from
being a sort of morbid melodrama. In
her hands Vesta becomes a real wom-
an, fighting against the inuence of the
the drug, against the influence of the
man who holds her secrets, and fighting
blindly for the man who turns against
her when her past is exposed, and she
wins the sympathy of her audience.
She has fine opportunities for emotional
work, and in spite of the unreallsm
of it all she makes it convincing.”
Yiddish Opera Co,
The Dallas News'recently said of the
Yiddish opera company, the attraction
at the Grand next Friday, the follow-
ing:
Another enthusiastic audience at-
tended the second performance of the
DeVault- Yiddish Opera company at the
Bush Temple last night. The piece
played was “The Jewess,” but it is
managed light effects and the costumes,
of every variety of(length and brevity,
of fullness and scantiness—all these
made up a whole that was constantly
interesting and amusing and refresh-
ing.
“The principals were all clever
enough, the girls were pretty, both as
to face and figure, and the music was'
light and cafbhy. What more could be
asked of a musical, girl show?
“There are a number of particularly
happy episodes brought into the action,
many of them infinitely laughable, and
several, strange to say, tenderly pa-
thetic. Marie Flynn and Jimmie Lucas
head the presenting cast. Miss Flynn
is a pretty little woman, with a good
singing voice, a varied and effective
display of humor and a charming man-
ner. She won her audience completely
last night by her singing of ‘The Land
of Used-to-Be.’ Jimmie Lucas, with his
odd and eccentric methods, demonstra-
ted his ability as a comedian. He found
quick response in his audience, and
showed constant ability to amuse.
Franklin Farnum, as Capt. Fisk, sang
in splendid voice, and carried out the
conception of his part with ease and
ability.”
cause she wcimanllke, knows that
there is another woman, Joe Forster,
the head waitress, who really is in
love with Con and would make him a
much better wife than she would, so
she simply, when the opportunity pre-
sents itself, lets him down as easily
as possible.
Among the novel features that have
been interpolated this season is that
of the xylophone effect. The chorus,
representing guests, are seated at the
tables in the cafe, and while their or-
ders are being served they play upon
bottles, plates and the glasses, using
knives and forks as improvised drum-
sticks, producing a most pleasing ef-
fect, which accompanies the music of
their songs.
