Those who went to the Boys' Brigade last night to witness some real snort were well satisfied with the result, as the two games played were of the silt edged order, with the exception of a large number of fouls, of which each team was equally guilty. These were caused through the tightening up on the part of the referee, who was espe cially stringent in the enforcement of the rules. This caused the stoppage of the games frequently, but the result was that the games were played clean and faster than usual and allowed bet ter team work and more open and less - rough play. The session was opened by the Naps and Braves, and there was fifteen min utes of pretty playing, every man working fast and clean. .The Braves managed to secure six ' field goals and five foul goals, and the Naps three field goals and five foul goals in this half, which placed the score for the half at 17 to 11 in favor of the Braves. ; f . j- Eight fouls were called against the Naps and twelve against the Braves in this half. In the second half the Naps secured six , field goals and two foul ; goals, and the Braves four field goals and seven foul goals, which made the score'15 to; 14 in. favor of the Braves, who, won both halves and the game by the score of 32 to 26, Summary: Field goals Montgomery, 1; Ellis, 4; Bornemann, 2; Branch, 2- - II.

After reaching the city yesterday morning and going to Southport, At torney General Bickett found it impos sible to change the plans for his speak ing, there and return, to the city last night for an address in the Court House here as he had expected. The appointment for Mr. Bickett at South port was for the night, and the event had been widely advertised and with out seriously interfering with the Southport committee's plans, the hour for the speaking could not be changed. New Hanover people readily acquiesc ed in adherence to the original plans of the speaker, knowing that he was in debatable territory and his speech would doubtless do more . good in Brunswick- than in rock-ribbed Demo cratic New Hanover. Mr. Bickett ex pressed great regret at not being able" to fill his appointment here. He ex pected to reach the city last night by boat and will leave on the early train today for Whiteville, where with Jos. w. Little. Esq., chairman of the Dem- ocratic Executive Committee of New Hanover county, he will speak today. Saturday Mr. Bickett will speak at Burgaw, having a long list of appoint ments through this section of the State where he is eminently popular. of. the fouls was not of the usual rough stuff of' which they have been guilty in the past. The result was that the game was clean throughout, the Cardinals being penalized also. Neither team did much in the scoring from field in the first half the Oiants, securing but three and the Cardinals one. The Giants secured seven points from foul line while their, opponents secured but six, which made the score for this half 13 to 8 in favor of the Giants. However when' the second half opened the Giants seemed to take a brace and by fast play and some spectacular goal shooting; soon had their oppenents on the run. Indeed and before the half had ended they had secured no less than 12 field goals and three foul goals, for a total of 28 points while. the best the Cardinals could do was to secure five field goals and one foul goal for a total of 11 points, the Giants winning by score of 41 to 19. For the Giants C. W. Davis starred with 8 field goals and for the Cardinals Fick secured 10 of their 19 points. Every man on both teams played good ball, however. Summary: Feild goals: Davis, C. W., 8; Burnett, C, 1. McCartney 4; Davis. C. C, 1; Gallagher, 1; Fick, 4; Jewell 1; Smith 1; Foul Goals: Davis C. W., 8; Gallagher 1; Fick 2; Kure 5. Fouls committed Giants 25; Car dinals. 14.

During its career as a Kiaw and Erlanger production it led the field of lively entertainment. That was 6 years ago. Its revival by John Cort this time .should yield its own reward for it brings back a musical play that was always enjoyable with the two black blossoms of laughter, Mclntyre and Heath, in their original role, one as a "chamber maid" in an Alabama stable and the other a sure-enough minstrel man. From the time the Georgia Mins trels arrive at Magnolia Springs until they appear in the Nicklebacker Man sion oh 5th Avenue, New York, Mc lntyre and Heath as laugh producers are in a class all by themselves. How Alexandera Hambletonlan from the jlivery stable, played by Mclntyre, was , jured aw tQ become a mlnstrel, and I I how he became stranded down in Florida,, finally to get on his feet with the actor man when they impersonate a Rajahoni and Rajah to deceive the wealthy Mr. Nicklebacker, never fails to convulse the audience. The Ham Tree and the Egg Tree are glowingly described by the optimistic actor, while the former "chambermaid," chronically pessimistic suffers the pangs of hunger. McINTYRE AND HEATH. In TheHam Tree", Academy of Music. Tonight. A new feature has been added In "Ebenezer" a trick mule. "Ebenezer" is a real thing and he knows his busi ness. Indeed, so sprightly is the ani mal that when he comes on the stage everything but his trainer and the man who attempts to ride him, are very busy in their dressing rooms- it is dpubtful if anyone can remain on Ebenezer's back-if he seriously objects, which he very often does, to the de light of the audience. It is said that John Cort has done much in his revision of this musical comedy this season in surrounding his stars with pretty chorus girls, chorus men, costumes that charm and music that pleases, and a notable cast, which includes Edward Wade, Arthur Barry, John Lorenz, Otto Johnson, Edward S. Holden, Norman Woodward, Mildred Beverly, Mabel Elaine, Jack Bell, Win nie and Jack Crisp. Five Reels Again Bijou. Not content with the week's show ing, which so far, has been the big gest in the history of the popular-priced photoplay house, the Bijou manage ment Iwill again today dish up another rousing five-reel bill, all for the tiny sum of a cent a reel. The Universal program, the best there is in movies, is fast becoming the "only" high class motion picture service, and the Bijou management was indeed fortunate in PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Col. W. B. Fort, of Pikeville, was here yesterday, stopping at the Orl!on. Mr. G. E. Norman, of Charlotte, was here yesterday, a guest at the Orton. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Bridgers, of Dil lon, S.

Today's headliner Is a mammoth Rex two-reel dramatic feature, "A Law Un to Herself" a production that has re ceived flattering pretfs notices in the big cities where it has enjoyed an unprecendented run. It's something en tirely out of the ordinary, telling a big atory, the final analysis of which shows where a woman finally ltoved and married a man whom she had years before sworn to kill. The' schemes are laid in Paris, and the stage settings are on an elaborate scale seldom at tempted in a two-reel production. It will undoubtedly prove one of the fea tures of the week, along with "The Pipes of Pan." Coming second, but none the less a great feature, is that two-reel Mutual dramatic production, "The Winning of Denise," in two full reels, ii which are featured Leona Hutton and Keen an. This is mammoth and costly pro duction that cannot be described in mere words. Then there's a rousing comedy num ber, a Sterling brand, in which the inimitable Ford Sterling plays the leading role 'as -only Ford can do it. Again Mary Pickford Grand Today.

Besides the Grand is just the cozy spot to seek on dreary days. It is ever cheery and hrio-ht Thnsft who missed the presentation yesterday missed the finest screen production ever given in Wil mington. It seems as if Mr. Daniel Frohman, who makes the production, must have thrown his very heart, as well as money and army of workers, into the making of the film, because it is magnificent. No other word , can describe it. The acting of clever Mary Pickford is superb and excited the ad miration of every one yesterday. The play itself needs no description at this time. It is too well known as one of New York's greatest triumphs. For tunately for those who missed it yes terday they can behold the film today, because it will be offered by the Grand again today, with performances com mencing at 11 o'clock this morning and continuing until 11 o'clock tonight. Every amusement lover should see this wonderful, brilliant Paramount. "The Idle Rich." This is the title of today's mammoth three-reel offering at the Orton Con fectionery. It is a big Warner Fea ture release, featuring Valentine Grant, the .great dramatic star, and is a grip ping picture replete with thrills and soul-stirring human interest situa tions. It is one of th,e most elaborate ly staged pictures seen, and contains some very startling dramatic situa tions, for instance, a flying leap from one out to another, a thrilling struggle between the hero and the villain, and the final rescue, of the kidnapped It has been termed "the picture with a conscience"? and well so, for it is a picture which is wholesome and satis fying throughout, xne snow is con tinuous every day from two until eleven P. M. and is absolutely free to all. Victoria's Show Phenomenal. The Victoria, promised the folks of Wilmington something swell in its new show, which opened yesterday, and it more than made good the promise. The x 1 BiTr.ll Hilt at new snow is not vmy -stages it is phenomenal, because it offers the famed "Esau." the Chim panzee that is almost human. This is one of the swellest and cleverest acts of all and proved the same sensation with the Victoria audiences as it has done with the people of the great cities. Of course, it was the headline act of the new show, but there are other big acts, and dont you forget it. "Esau" is a marvel. He makes his first ap pearance on skates and scoots around the stage in skilful manner. He eats drinks, dances and does everything else that a human being can do, and does many things much better. He also rides a bike In most skilled way: There is a Chimpanzee assistant, also does some exceptional tricks. "Esau" is a big card and every child, as well as grown-up should behold him. Wal ter Ward and Partner are also some big stars, presenting a trick bicycle act that is elaborate and splendid. Another notable is Si Bachelor, the Rube musician, and he is another big hit. Not only is he a fine performer, but he is extra fine as a comedian. Yet another superb act, provided by Olga and Sidney, who present artistic dances that are different from all others. LOCAL DO is.
