Historical society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Mayoralty Bee In Their Bonnets. VOL. XI. NO. 46 [Name not provided] MAYOR R. A. BALLINGER Who Is Moving His Office to the Alaska Building. One year ahead of time municipal politics is being discussed, and that, too, with a vengeance. Some one has wrung a confession out of Mayor Ballinger to the effect that, as the chief executive of Seattle, he has had "plenty, more as plenty, more as he could want," and that under no circumstance's will he stand for a renomination, and that he proposed to stand aside for some "good man." Mr. Ballinger has made a splendid executive, and, for the most part, it seemed that the law-abiding citizens were well pleased with his official acts, but if this be true, and it is, then the mayor for the year he has already served must have had the devil's own time [Picture of a man in a suit and tie, facing forward.] COUNCILMAN H. C. GILL Who Is Not Pleased Over the Election of Wilson. restraining the criminals and steering the city clear of the grafters and corporation sharks. So strenuous has this been that the mayor throws up his hands in utter disgust SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905 [Name not provided] CITY TREASURER S. F. RATHBUN Who Is Busy Collecting Interest on the City Bank Deposits. and says: "When it comes to being mayor in Seattle, at any salary between that gotten by President Roosevelt and the one I now get, excuse me." * * * A number of names as successors to Mayor Ballinger have already appeared in print, but none of those mentioned will talk one way or the other on the subject. Those whose names have been mentioned are John Ripplinger, Irving T. Cole, H. C. Gill, Frank M. Mullen and S. F. Rathbun. * * * There is hardly any doubt but that if Riplinger would let loose and make a fight for the nomination, he would get it hands down, but Riplinger is being urged to remain where he is, which he will probably do, more, perhaps, to please his friends, who think he need not hurry, than for himself. Then, again, to be mayor of Seattle is a trying ordeal and it generally means political death to him who gets it, and Riplinger is too popular to blight all future political prospects which now look so bright for him by accepting the mayoralty nomination. * * * Councilman Cole is a good man; yet, so good that the street mongers say "he is too good to be mayor." He would have a strong following in the resident portions of the city, but would be very weak among the politicians, grafters and tenderloiners, and with LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS r Bonnets. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. CITY COMPTROLLER, JOHN RIPLINGER Who Is Capturing Prizes at the Bench Show these combined against him, the chances of success for him would be extremely doubtful. Mr. Cole has had more legislative experience than any of the other names mentioned herein, and for that very reason would make an efficient official, but qualifications count for nothing when the professional politicians, greedy grafters and franchise fiends unite against a candidate. It can therefore be said even at this early stage of the game that Mr. Cole will not be very much in the mayoralty fight. [Picture of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a suit and a white shirt. The background is a dark, oval-shaped area with a white border.]] COUNCILMAN I. T. COLE, Who is a Lawyer by Practice, but a Politician by Profession. Should H. C. Gill permit the use of his name for this nomination the same causes that would have a tendency to eliminate I. T. Cole from the race would work in his fa- ```markdown ``` vor. By this the Pie-Maker does not want to be understood as branding Councilman Gill as being the mouthpiece of those elements, nevertheless they would rally to him to a man in opposition to Cole, Ballinger or any one that does not cater to them. In the opinion of the Pie-Maker, Mr. Gill would be a poor candidate at the polls, if the Democrats made a business-like nomination, which it is here predicted they will. *** Two years ago the mentioning of Frank Mullen's name in connection with the mayoralty nomination would have been hooted at, but two years as a member of the city council and the head of the street committee has wrought a wonderful change in his behalf. He has proved himself to be a worthy official and in a free-for-all primary fight Mullen would stand a mighty good show of coming out at the head of the procession. He has given his time to the city, and he has been a terror to the franchise fiend. He would be able, to an extent, to harmonize the factions, and, on the whole, would not be a bad candidate. *** S. F. Rathbun is "not talking politics." His term of office expires one year from now and he can not succeed himself, and of the names already mentioned in this connection, all of whom are municipal officials, and can succeed themselves, if the voters are willing. In view of this fact and in view of the fact Mr. Rathbun is quite popular, it is barely possible that he is in line for the nomination of mayor. He is conservative and believes the city should be run on business principles, the same as a private concern. He has no pronounced views in print as to the "wide open policy," and those who favor such a policy might consider it safer to support a man like this than a man who openly favored their cause. Sam, the Pie-Maker predicts, will prove a formidable candidate. *** While individual candidates are being discussed, it would not be a bad idea to consider the platform on which the nominee is to make his fight. That there is a growing sentiment even in Seattle toward municipal ownership of all public utilities, there is not the slightest bit of doubt, so strong is the sentiment at present, that by the time the convention is held such a plank will either be made a part of the platform or its failure will result in the defeat of the nominee. No city in the United tSates is more ripe for municipal ownership of public uiltities than Seattle, and all because the city is and has been for many years almost absolutely domineered by heartless corporations, chief among which is the Seattle Electric Company. The people of this city pay tribute enough to the Seattle Electric Company over and above the expense of maintaining its system, as well as interest on the actual capital it has invested, for the maintaining of the entire municipal official machinery, and still have quite a snug sum for a sinking fund, all of which, if Seattle herself owned, she could enjoy. These facts will be drilled into the minds of the voters between this and election time to that extent that either of the two great parties THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN refusing to take up the idea will be doomed to defeat at the polls. * * * Nothing is more responsible for this feeling than the recent results in Chicago. Nine out of every ten Republicans in Seattle are highly pleased at the election of Judge E. P. Dunne, the Democratic nominee, over Judge Harlan, the Republican nominee, because the former seemed honest in his advocacy of the municipal ownership idea, while the latter only half-heartedly advocated the enforcing of the measure. The verdict in favor of municipal ownership was so plain and pronounced that he who runs can read. The municipal ownership fire has leaped from Chicago to Seattle at one great bound, and it will be the burning issue in the next campaign here. The actual condemnation of the street railway system and the telephone systems by the city will be agitated from time to time until it is actually done. * * * A Victory for Municipal Ownership. Chicago voted yesterday for municipal ownership of the street railways by electing Judge Edward F. Dunne, the Democratic nominee for mayor, by 25,000 piurality over John Maynard Harlan, the Republican nominee. Both Harlan and Dunne are men of excellent character and fine ability, but personal popularity cut little figure in the contest. A vital issue was at stake. It was up to the voters of Chicago to decide between a renewal of the franchises of the street car companies and public ownership of the street railways. The result is a decisive victory for municipal ownership as opposed to private monopoly. For years the people of Chicago have been complaining of the arbitrary, arrogant, insolent and extortionate practices of the street car companies. They have made a hard fight in the courts to curb the power of these monopolies; but they could get little relief so long as the liberal franchises granted by corrupt councils remained in force. Nearly all of these franchises will soon expire. Harlan, the Republican nominee for mayor, advocated a renewal of the franchises for a 20-year period with the understanding that the street railway properties would then be taken over by the city. Judge Dunne, on the other hand favored immediate municipal ownership, and that is what the people of Chicago have voted for. The result of the Chicago election shows the strong trend of public opinion in the United States toward municipal and government ownership. In his annual message to congress President Roosevelt plainly stated that government ownership of the great railway lines of the country could be averted only by their submitting gracefully to government regulation of rates through the interstate commerce commission. Most of the railroad magnates are opposed to government control of rates and they are using their influence with the senate of the United States to block the legislation desired by the president. If the senate passes any bill along this line it will not be the Esch-Townsend bill passed by the house at the late session. The senate being owned and controlled by powerful special interests, like the Standard FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1905 Oil trust and other monopolies closely allied to the railroads, will probably pass a toothless, spineless rate bill in the hope of fooling the people, but nothing better can be expected. An effort will be made to defer action on the president's recommendations until the end of his term, when it is hoped by the senate leaders that some such man as Fairbanks will be elected, and then the plutocrats will have no further fear of hostile agitation from the White House.—Statesman. * * * When a new federal district was created in Eastern Washington it was done with a view that the judge, the district attorney and the United States marshal and all of the lesser court officials would all be selected from the citizens of that section of the state, but now comes Marshal Baker and prays that Chief Deputy Marshal Crosby of Western Washington be transferred to the Eastern Washington district. It is admitted that Crosby is a well qualified official, and, from long experience, knows just how to do business, but is it right to import new men in the district to fill the positions and thereby leave deserving men of the district out in the cold? Cannot other men do just as well if only an opportunity be given them? The Pie-Maker is of the opinion that such a course would not set well on the stomachs of the politicians of that section of the state the all-powerful George Baker to the contrary notwithstanding. * * * Senator Sam H. Piles has returned from Washington city and is looking every inch a statesman, and the honor fits him just as if it were made to order. The hundred and one federal office seekers have already got busy and they are besieging his highness to ascertain when they can expect to go to work. W. H. Clark expects to succeed Tom Payne, Tom Payne expects to succeed just any old body. I. B. Knickerbocker to succeed Fred A. Wing, Frank Twichell to succeed Dr. Mitten and Charley Sullivan to succeed Jesse A. Frye. The Ballard postoffice job is in the air as well as other postoffices, all of which will keep Senator Sam on the jump. Some claim that the American baby is a poodle dog with accomplishments, but in the last four months there were born in the city of New York sixteen thousand babies. That with what the other states could enrole is enough to drown the poodle dog theory. Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST. BRIEFS our Specialty Telephones: Sunset, Red 1971 Independent, 1306 CRITTENTON HOME. "I like for the girls to look upon me as a mother and feel that this is their home," said Mrs. Conner, matron of the Critenton home for fallen women and destitute girls. Mrs. Conner is a sweet-faced, motherly woman, whose every word and action shows that she is in sympathy with the work which she is so ably superintending. How many girls are there in the house now, asked the visitor to whom Mrs. Conner had addressed the previous remark. "Twenty-six," was the answer, "but I would not have you think that they are all fallen women. Some are destitute, homeless and friendless, and in some cases in poor health. Here they have a home as long as they wish it and, for the most part, they seem to feel at home." How many babies are there in the house now? was asked. "Ten babies and one expected in a few days now. We teach the girls to love their babies, in fact, the great mother love is borned with the baby, but we try to impress it upon them that the babies are their's regardless of the preceding circumstances and their's it is to love and care for them. We do not put a premium upon crime, but we do strive to teach the mothers to love their babies, and our rule is that each woman who enters the home must remain for six months, by the expiration of that time we hope to have instilled in her mind the firm belief that she yet has a chance in the world to make herself a useful woman." Do the girls confide in you to any great extent? asked the visitor. "Some do and some do not," replied Mrs. Conner. "There are no questions asked. All confidences are voluntary. If a girl comes to us and says her name is Mary, she is known as Mary, and no one questions her. All she has to do is to comply with the rules of the house and she is at home protected from the world as long as she cares to remain. The work of the home, of course, is done by the inmates and each one takes her part just as she would be expected to do in her own mother's house. The girls have woven 50 odd yards of rag carpet which we will use when we do our spring cleaning. We use every precaution with the mothers during their critical period and after confinement they are not permitted to do any work for eighteen days, and then very light tasks only. We want to be sure that there will be no physical ailments due to improper care during confinement to hinder them as they go forth with their new charges to fight the battle of life." Mrs. Conner upon request gave some of the rules by which those in the home are governed. No girl is permitted to leave the grounds without permission, all telephoning must be done by permission, letters sent or received must be inspected, all visitors must be seen by the matron first, no member of the home is permitted to go to the city without an escort from the home, and the motto of the home is, Do Right. "These rules are for the protection of the girls and also to sustain the good name which the home has in the neighborhood, city and state." Mrs. Conner never tires of telling of her work among the girls. "I am much in sympathy with the work," she said, "else I would not be here. No questions are asked the girls, but we have our little quiet hours all to ourselves and many a one pours into THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN my ears her life's secret. There are instances where I have been able to help restore a girl to her home from which she had been driven. Only last week two mothers with their little babies left us. They bade me good-bye and wept as if they were leaving their mothers." "No," replied the matron in reply to a query, "money is not necessary. If a girl can pay $20 or $25 to help cover the expenses of her confinement we are glad, but those who have not a cent fare just the same as those who may be wealthy." After being shown through the home from nursery, where the tots, big and little, played in the sunshine, to the dining room, where Mrs. Conner said there was always room for one more, the visitor departed. As she sat in the car she remembered that Mrs. Conner expressed such an earnest wish that she was able to paper and paint some of the most needy rooms in the home while doing the regular spring cleaning, and the wish for means to help the institution was upmost in the visitor's mind while the car sped Seattlewards. LOCAL BRIEFS Work has actively been begun on the four new sky scrapers of this city, and it is hoped by those having charge of the work to have them completed in less than a year from the time they were started. It took just one year to complete the Alaska Building, which is a fourteen-story one, but that kind of work was the first undertaken in this city, and therefore it is not believed it will take quite so long to complete the structures now under erection as that one. The office of Brady & Gay has been moved from the old Roxwell block to the twelfth floor of the Alaska Building, where they are pleased to meet their old friends and customers, as well as any new ones who might want their legal services. Mrs. Jack Stringer, as a special United States deputy marshal, went to Juneau, Alaska, last Wednesday in charge of a woman prisoner. Mrs. Stringer is the first woman deputy marshal of the Northwest.

What Alpheus Byers lacks of being a shabby little human fice would rest on the point of a cambric needle, but every attorney at the bar and every court attache of the King county superior court knows this, hence it's not much news. The schools of the city will have their spring vacation beginning at the close of schools today. The vacation will last for one week. During the week the teachers of both the county and the city will hold a union institute, at which an interesting programme for teachers will be rendered each day. During the month of March there were in Seattle 171 births and 99 deaths. Seventy males were borned and 58 males died; 101 females were borned and 41 females died. The population of Seattle is estimated at 150,000, that makes the death rate 66 per cent. There were 23 cases of measles, 18 cases of scarlet fever and 16 cases of diphtheria. There were two deaths caused by the last named malady. Twelve deaths resulted from external violence. There was one homicide and four cases of self-destruction.

The place where men and women are confined has no right being so cold that pleurisy may be contracted. The corridors ought not be so draughty that disease will follow. It is simply inhuman to take from a person his liberty and then place him in surroundings which will undermind his health. A Passed Fad. Residents of Madrona Heights are distressed at the condition of the bicycle path. Heavy teaming over the path has so cut the path up in places that it is rendered unfit for wheeling or walking. The complaint called to mind the days when Seattle men and women were wheel mad, when wheels were a fad and jaunty skirts, some short and some too short, were as essential to a woman's wardrobe as knee trousers and bright colored leggings were to men's. If Seattle were not so hilly, but then it would not be Seattle that we know and love if it were not, the bicycle would not have passed so quickly. It is thought by some that the introduction of the automobiles will give new life to the bicycle. Yet it is almost too much work to ride a wheel in Seattle. Lenient Prosecution. Laws are made for the poor, some one has desparingly declared. The poor for the most part believe it and it does seem in this day of pulls and grafts that he who has influence or has friends who have influence (and by the way the man who has money also has influence) need not fear the law to any great extent. Seattle recently had a striking example of the same in the leniency shown young Clancy, who is all the same a burglar pure and simple. A society thief is a thief as guilty as a dirty sheep thief, and more so, because his position in life is, to an extent, an unwrittne guarantee that he is too honest to take what does not belong to him. A man who will prosecute all cases which come before him is what the city needs. A prosecuting attorney's business is to prosecute regardless of who the offender is, only remembering the fact that the law has been broken. Bark for Sweet Charity. The largest bench show ever given in the Northwest is now in progress in Seattle at Germania hall. Two hundred and sixty-five dogs are to be seen on the benches and it is thought that the show will be a great success. There is one thing strange about these dog shows and dog fanciers in general, one either raves over them or is perfectly indifferent to them. There seems to be no middle ground about it. The management of the present show sized the situation up well when he decided to donate the proceeds of the exhibition to charity. The net receipts will be divided between the Crittenton home and Wayside Emergency hospital. The club will present some lady in attendance with a thoroughbred puppy representing one of the popular breeds each night. A number of well known local society women have volunteered to act as patronesses of the show, and the club expects that its patronage from this quarter will, on account of the disposition of the proceeds, exceed that of any previous exhibition. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN J. WILBU Many a Seattle woman answered her door bell this week to be handed an invitation to attend the Chapman revival meetings. And the general decision is to attend the meetings. By various means the main one of which is unity among the ministers of the city, a spirit of good feeling has been awakened and interest has been shown in the meetings from the first. Comparing the first night with other first nights in other localities Dr. Chapman expressed great satisfaction, and said that he felt assured that he and his party would obtain great results in this city. That is the general belief, and with hearts ready for impressions, with willing workers waiting for duty, it will surprise no one if the Chapman revival shakes this city as no revival has ever done before. It goes without The Chapman Revival. saying that it is needed; other cities need it, too, but pointing to others never yet helped to cure oneself. There are so many ways in which we may all be helped, we fall short of what we might be if with God's help we tried our best, that we may attend these meetings with a view of receiving help. There is no need of thinking of this concern or that individual who has been grafting; of this official or this citizen who had fallen short of his duty. The thing to do is to attend. Let us attend these meetings and, as Mr. Chapman says, feel every time he speaks that he is addressing you individually. Then we will be able to measure ourselves by the standard he represents and see if we are found wanting. The meetings are for the rich and the poor, for the people who are and would become Christians. AFRO-AMERICANISM. Negroes Getting Control. One Lambert Tree, who has been studying racial conditions in the West Indies, and likewise in the Spanish island possession, is convinced that the Negro will sooner or later absolutely control every inch of territory in those islands. Even now he has almost absolute control of the islands, though the various islands have governors sent out from the home government. Slowly, but surely the Negro is edging the white man off all along the line and on the whole the Negro is more exacting with the white man in the land he controls than the white man is with him. For an instance, in both Hayti and Liberia, Negro republics, Caucasians are not allowed to own land in the republic, which exaction can not be found in any country controlled by the white man, as to the Negro. Do Not Be Monkeys. It is all right for Negroes to get together and with their combined capital undertake any and all kinds of business enterprises, but it is undoing just what the Negro himself and many of his white friends in this country have been doing for him for lo these many years, when he draws a color line in that business and says, only Negro talent or customers are permitted, as in the case of the Chicago theatre, owned exclusively by Negroes, which permits none other but Negro actors to appear therein. Judging from newspaper accounts of the affair the whole thing smacks of a monkey and a parrot time to which large crowds of whites are nightly attracted to see and hear the show, not only from the stage, but from all over the house. The Negro of this country is, figuratively speaking, in Rome, and unless he does like the Romans he will be weighed in the balance and found wanting. Help Each Other. Prof. W. H. Council, principal of the state normal school for colored youth at Normal, Alabama, is sorely perplexed lest he has been placed before the public in a false light by the editors of papers conducted by Negroes. We understand Prof. Council, like Prof. Washington, is doing a great educational work among the youths of his race, and he is to be commended for the same, but Prof. Council rushes into print on too short notice. If he is doing a good work the world will find it out without him sending out flaming circulars every time he makes a speech to a number of his students or out at a crossroad church house to a lot of farmers. The great drawback to the Negro of the present age is, one can not accomplish a thing in life without the others all getting jealous of him and begin a systematic fight to pull down what the other fellow has built up. Do your work and look to time for your reward and quit expecting to be patted on the back every time you do or say a commendable thing for the benefit of your race. Better Educational Facilities. That the better thinking element of the whites of this country even at the South favor better educational facilities for Negroes is growing more and more apparent every day. The Missouri legislature, which recently ad- journed, and which, by the way, elected Major William Warner at the very last minute to the United States senate, who is a strong champion of Negro rights, appropriated $77,000 for the Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City, Mo., which is a school for colored folk. This is the largest appropriation any legislature of that state ever made for this or any similar school for Negroes, and the school and the legislators are to be congratulated for the right thing having been done for the Negro children of that state. Twenty-six Tuskegeees. No wonder Booker T. Washington is honored all over the country and royally received by the most advanced whites of the North, for he has done more toward elevating a race in whose very bones crime and stubbornness had been beaten than any other one man in the whole United States. It is now reported on good authority that there are in the South twenty-six different industrial schools for Negro youths fashioned after Tuskegee, in other words, Baby Tuskegeees. Let's hope that the Tuskegee influence will continue to spread until pretty nearly every school in the Souh for Negroes will adopt its methods. While the higher educational accomplishments are not to be wholly neglected, yet the rank and file need the industrial education and they should get it. CARLE CALLED HOME. The numerous friends of B. R. Carle will regret to learn that he died at his home in Spokane last Sunday after a very brief illness. Mr. Carle was the deputy grand master of the Masons (colored) of the Northwest, and of course was widely known. He had been on the Pacific Coast about 20 years and had done hotel work in every prominent city on the Coast. For the past twelve years he has called Spokane his home, where he had a host of friends. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, the K. P. and the Odd Fellows. He was 53 years of age at the time of his death. FRANKLIN A FARMER Rev. S. A. Franklin, of Newcastle, did business in the city last Saturday. He reports a very few colored miners at Newcastle and some of those there are talking about leaving for other places. "To get a homestead in Eastern Washington is the ambition of a great many of them now at the mines, and I myself have a five acre tract near Hillman City, which I am improving and hope to soon have it developed and improved to a high state of cultivation, whereby I can make it my home and also be sustaining for myself and family," said Mr. Franklin. He reports the miners at Newcastle getting from three to four days work per week. McPHAY GETS LIFE. William McPhay, who was recently extradited from this state on a requisition from the governor of the state of Mississippi served on the governor of this state, was tried in Pike county, at a recent term of the circuit court there, and was found guilty of murder and given a life sentence in the state penitentiary.

Had he, however, been tried in some other county, ten or fifteen years would have been the maximum sentence he would have received, if not actually acquitted. Mrs. Frank Smith, aided by Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gayton, prepared an enjoyable surprise for her husband last Friday evening at the residence of Mr. Gayton, the occasion being in honor of his twenty-ninth birthday. A number of personal friends of Mr. Smith were invited to be present and a most excellent stag party was the result. Cigars and seltzer were freely passed during the first evening hours, which was later followed by a collation that would have done credit to the gods. Appropriate toasts were given by those about the banquet table at the promptings of Mr. Gayton, the toastmaster of the occasion. Those present were: Mr. Austin Anderson, Mr. A. B. Ball, Mr. H. R.

ERNEST B. HERALD Attorney for Plantiff. Office address, 226-30 Colman Bldg. Seattle, Washington. First publication Mar. 3, 1905 AT THE THEATRES. "A RUNAWAY GIRL." One of the many excellent features of "A Runaway Girl" to be given by the rollard Lilliputian Opera Company at their return engagement at the Grand on Sunday night, is the magnificent carnival scene in the second act. The locality is supposed to be near the grand canal in Venice. Great scope is allowed in this scene, and is taken full advantage of by the management. Some exceedingly handsome and picturesque costumes are worn by the participants, and a very entertaining and interesting carnival of dance and music is introduced. Flower girls, gondoliers, brigands, peasant, soldiers and sabot girls, all dressed in appropriate costumes, and a beautifully painted set of scenery serve to make a grand picture during the action of the principals in this strikingly original scene. This will be the first time this delightful musical comedy has ever been presented at popular prices. Teddie McNamara will be the "Flipper" and Daphne Pollard is cast for "Carmencita," Eva Moore will portray the "Runaway Girl," and Olive Moore will be "Alice." For the Wednesday matinee, "The Belle of New York" will be sung and on Saturday afternoon "An American Millionaire" will be staged. Popular prices. Seats now selling for all. There are two scenes in the play "Across the Desert" at the Third Avenue Theatre this week that lend not only additional interest to the play, but are noteworthy on account of the art displayed in them—one is a thrilling realistic picture of the desert, where nothing but horn toads, centipedes and cactus grow; and the very stirring events that take place in the first act of the play may well be enacted on this barren waste. Another noteworthy scene is the stalactic cave in the third act. These caves were found in many sections of the southern part of the American continent, and they possess about as interesting object of a freak of nature as anything ever seen. There will be a high.y exciting time at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday, when the Russia-Japanese war play, "In the Far East" introduce so many characters familiar to newspaper readers, that to name them is superfluous. Every scene in the play will be painted from sketches made by famous newspaper correspondents and furnished to the author, John Chritenton Webb. The realistic bombardment of the famous fortress of Port Arthur, a very realistic naval battle scene, a court martial scene, many well-known characters, and an object picture of today is what will greet the patrons of the Third Avenue Theatre for the first time next Sunday, and all next week, excepting next Friday night, Good Friday, when the theatre will be closed.
