TH~! GHASIiOTIS HBWS NOVEMBER 17 '911 MR. Did you see the check-raising scene in the first act of last night’s play, when “Blinky Davis” in “Alias Jimmy Valentine’* raised a check from $5 to $50,000 in a few seconds time ? Don’t risk sending" out VCUI; c ccks w i' ^ \W i ro- tection. It is dangerous to sign any check unless >ou stamp it with the “PROTECTOGRAPH,” like this: NOr OVER FiVE DOLLARS SS$ I The “PROTECTOGRAPH” is the ONLY form of clMk {»rotectiQ& that has stood tlie test of time. For over ten years it has protect the biggm bank ac- couaU in the world, and not a doWvir has ever been lost oa any check thtis proteciedL The “PROTECTOGRAPxi” is the machine used and endorsed by nine-tenths of aU the leading Banks, Busiiie8a-lu>iises, U. & Tre^wiffy, etc Over 110,000 m u.e.

Tbe play wm great, but tbe com pany improved on it. There was not a misfit in the cast, nor a character ization that failed to add to the total success. As Jimmy Valentine. Ed mund Elton was tuptrlatively good, while tbe action in general waa refin ed. poeeessed, unliurrled. Elton stood out above the others in deliberate self-possession and master of every detail of his part. An actor of fine ability, he achieved a startling real ism. Margaret Dunn as Roae Lane, was very satisfactory, though there is room for improvement in her work in the love scenes. Her expression was good, however, and she showed pos session in her role. H. D. CrOeby, as Bill Avery, and Sam Hines as Red Jocelyn, come in for a generous share of the applause, and they thoroughly deserved it. Little Kitty, a part tak- en by Florence CMirad, was marvel lously clever. The child’s work would shame the professionalism of many a grown-up. “Alias Jimmy Valenttae,” with its present company, deserves rich and long continue success.

It will be seen at the Academy of Music Wed nesday night, November 29. The extraordinary feature of this production is its hugenes. At to the Quality—everyone knows what the name of Henry W. Savage stands for in the way of arst-clase offerings in both music and dram^ throughout America. But the enormous produc tion of “The Girl of the Golden West” can be best realized when it is known that it requires a special train of ten cars to transport this organiza tion on this trans-continental tour. There arc five casts of principals to sing the leading roles. No human voice could hold up under the strain of singing Puccini’s wonderful music consecutively for a week and Mr. Sav age has seen to it that his artists, who have been recruit-ed from the famous opera houses of the w'orld, shall not be compelled to sing more than twice or three times a week. AO orchestra of fifty skilled musi cians is carried with the company and it will bo under the direction of three leading conductors. The scenic and electrical effects are said to be more complete than of any production ever cent on tour. Seats will be placed on sale one week in advance, on next Wednesday morning at the theatre box-office at 10 o’clock sharp.
