inn I. ... 6 THF CHARLOTTT! NEWF. OCTOBER 23, 1011 ACADEMY Marine Band at the Academy of Muaic Seats were place on sale this morn ing at Hawley’s for the concert to be given at the Academy of Music Wed nesday night by the United States Marine Band, which is being brought to Charlotte under the auspices of the Mecklenburg Fair Association. The United States Marine Band, ia regarded as the greatest concert band In the world, and the bringing of this famous organization to Charlotte should be rewarded by a capacity house. The Marine Band will give a concert at the fair grounds in the afternoon, and at night the concert will be held in the local playhouse. A splendid program has been ar ranged for the evening concert, and there will no doubt be a banner crowd in the Academy to greet Lieut. Sandle- man and his famous organization. ‘G'raustark"—Coming. 'That the whole world loves a lover” is an old truth that the novelist and playwright have coined into dollars. The world does love love, and pays good money to read it and see it acted on the stage. The American public loves “Graustark," not only because ‘Graustark” is a story of love, but of dominant American love, the love that knows no end—and no defeat. Wl.en a lover pursues a girl across an ocean and two continents only to find her, at the end of the journey, sitting in the fierce light which beats upon a throne, the situation is at lea&t strained anl by many, the incident would be regarded as closed. But when, by sheer grit and tenacity, he jroceeds to batter down her ances- ral traditions and misconception of luty, over-rule the bitter prejudices of ler people and refuse flatly to consider limself beneath a princess; the patrio- ic American spirit rises to him and lopB—tMa. .yiyanumlrsud •ejoices when, in the face of all oppo sition, he winse the rojal maid for his jride. It is a lukewarm American indeed Rho will not feel a thrill for the manly lero in •‘Graustark" whose pulse will lot quicken at his bravery in the face )f danger and his resource in meeting t. Mr. McCutcheon undoubtedly un- lerstands the world’s love for a lover. Ke probably realized, too. how the ove of Americans for this ‘American over (his greatest creation) would prove literary ore of tremendous rich- aess. Those who h:ive read Mr. McCutch- »on s descript'on of “Graustark” have naturally formed a high ideal of its oeauty, and Messrs. Baker & Castle, he manager:*, determined that the •cenlc artists should not disappoint the ■jdmirers of the novels. The result Is ;ome of the most beautiful settings ?ver presented on the stage. The hap- )v blending of simple clothes w'ith the ;iilden-laden uniforms and royal robes )f a European court forms a most un- que and pleasing picture. ‘Graustark” • ill be presented at the Academy of .M Friday afternoon and night, Oc- >bc-r 27th. iHur” and “Rebecca of Sunnybrook ' Farm.” Within six months there have been four of the smaller repertory managers who have attempted to make productions of spurious dramatl- Izatlons of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,” but In each case they have been caught and stoo|)ed. Klaw & Erl- anger succeeded last year ia obtaining an injunction in the United StAte^ cir cuit court and on appeal in the United States court of appeals, preventing managers of picture houses from pre senting the films whifch show the race scene in “Ben Hur” and other portions of that celebrated dramatization of Lew Wallace’s well-known tale. In two instances managers violating the In junction have been sent to jail for short terms. The present activity is brought about by the efforts of vaude ville performers and the smaller musi cal show’s to give colorable imita tions of the music and action of “The Pink Lady.” Klaw & Erlanger will to the fullest extent of the law both civilly and criminally all persons who attempt to use any portion of “The Pink Lady” or any unauthorized dram atization of “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” or "Ben Hur.” Play Piracy. “Rebeccs of Sunnybrook Farm.” Klaw &, Erlanger are beginning a rtry active fight against play piracy in jonnection with three of their promi- lent successes, 'The Pink Lady,” “Ben “Excuse Me.” A splendid offering at the Academy ,of Music Tues-day night, Oct. 31st, as produced and presented by Henry W. Savage during all of the past season at the Gaiety theartre. New York, Ru- Ipert Hughes’ farce, “Excuse Me,” will be the attraction. Word of the laughter producing qualities of this “Pullman Car Carnival’’ long ago reached Char lotte, and there is every prospect that it will appeal to local play-goers with stifflcient emphasis to justify its re maining in this city for many w’eeks. Henry W. Savage has earned the reputation of a manager who never ! does things by halves, and in his mounting and castinc of “Excuse Me” I he has shown as much skill and care I as have characterized every other pro duction sponsored by him. In the com pany which will interpret the Hughes atorv there are a number of players well known to local play goers by rea son of many previous visits here.

Then ne added: “You know the one who gets the Nobel prize must go over there to receive it. I don’t like the idea of making another trip abroad ju&t now. I’ve had enough of travel for the present, and I’ve had all the va cation I ought to take forawhile. ‘Of course,, I would appreciate the distinction and would accept the prize. But what’s the use of talking about it until I get It? T don’t know anything about it. Nobody knows whether I am going to get it or not. The fellow that gets the Nobel prize never knoi^s In ad vance that he is going to get It. It is a cash prize of $40,000, part oft he in come of a fortune left by a man like me. Nobel was an inventor. He made his money in dynamite. He died enor mously wealthy and he left liis money in trust to encourage invention and the arts. One prize is for invention, another for literary Achievement and I don’t know what the other is. “Maeterlinck, I know, got the last prize for literature, but I cannot re member who the fellows were that got the other prizes. They are awarded every year or two years, I don’t know which, and I don’t know what time of the year. Don’t ask me to say what I would do with it. Wait till I get the price." e The Nobel prise for physics has been awarded in previous years to Prof. Rontgen of Munich, discoyierer of the so-called X-rays; Prof. Philip Leonard of Kiel University for re searches into cathode rays; Pnof.

SUES TO HOLD CHOIR TENOR.’ 75,000 Fold Utts For Next Season Two carloass or Ford automobiles have just been received by the Ford Auto Sales Co„ of this city, one last Friday, the other this morning. Part of the machines in these shipmeiits will be used to fill orders already book ed and the balance shown at the fair 75,000 FOR NEXT SEASON. The “auto capital” was startled upon announcement from the Ford Motor company that that concern would manufacture 75,000 automobiles for 1912 and that prices would be cut deeply, I The official 'statement issued by James Couzens, secretary and treas urer of the Ford Motor company, says that the famous Ford model T touring car will sell now for $690 and a new light delivery wagon, built on the model T chassis, for $700. Detroit au tomobile circles were stirred to the bottom by the sensational announce ment, While it was generally believed that the Ford concern would increase its output, there had been no intima tion of such a cut in prices. ' For the 1911 season the Ford model T output was in excess of 35,000; ev ery month 'from February to May, in clusive, seeing the world’s production record broken by the Ford coinpany. Even then the season closed with 6,000 unfilled orders on the books. In the month of May 6013 Ford cars were were made and shipped, which is the present high-water mark in automo bile manufacture. It was the demand for the model T that forced us to make arrangements J to manufacture, 75,000 Ford cars,” said “The demand for the Clergyman Wants to Know If Singers Can Leave Positions at Will.

We have long known of the demand for an efficient commer cial wagon, but until the recent Im provements to our plantj we had been unable to take care of the pleasure car business, let alone a light deliv ery wagon. The wagon will be pre cisely the same as other model T’s as far as chasis is concerned—^merely building a body suitable for transport ing goods., Henry Ford was pleased when the announcement had been made. Mr. Ford, who is generally regarded as the father of the automobile industry, and who built ^the first gasojine car seen on the streets of eDtrbit, bar always fought the battle for price re diiction., His steadfast aim, since the pion^r daiys of the automobile busi ness, has been to get out a car of max imum efficiency and at a price that would enable the greatest number of people to own them. He has never swerved from his ambition, ^nd has been hammering down the price until this last cut, which proved such a sen sation to the automobile people of De troit, There are now In existence 100,000 Ford cars, of which about 80,000 are model T’s. The car is sold in every civilized country in the world, and Ford branch houses are maintained in Australia, London and Paris, as well as thrpughout the United States and Service buildings to give service to yord owners are also located through out the world, there being one on Long Island representing an investment of close to $1,000,000. SAFE IN REAR OF WRECKED CAR CURSED BY CARDS, HE FLED. Jack of Spades and Other Omens( Caused Man to Desert Wife. New York, Oct, 23,—“The curse of cards” is upon Antonio Dyaz. A black man is after him—proved by the Jack of ' spades. Tears will flow—proved by the nine of clubs, eH will meet a man he hates—proved by the eight of spades. Therefore he has left his wife, aften ten years of married life, and refuses to be comforted. Pins, needles and a bottle of water on his bed are also mentioned incidentally, as con tributing causes for his action. Dyaz, who is o Porto Rican, in the Domestic Relations Court today, told ouui me urBu Magistrate Harris that he lived with the streets of eDtroit, ha ^is wife until the fatal afternoon when he came home to find the table empty and the cure of the cards grinning wickedly. “It all meant bad things for me,” he explained; “perhaps that I might die. I will support my wife, but I don’t wish to die, nor to be hoodooed in my house,” Magistrate Horris reassured Dyaz and ordered him to pay his wife $3 a week.
