formance of this famous comedy one

properly directed. Originally "Brew
ster's Millions" was a novel by that
prolific fiction dispenser, George Ban
McCutcheon, whose "Beverley of
Graustark" had previously been so
successful. Messrs. Winchell Smith
and Byron Ongley saw in "Brewster's
Millions" the possibilities for a great
play and proceeded to transplant it
from the book-shelf to the footlights.
So well did taey succeed that their
work attracted the attention of Fred
eric Thompson of the late firm of
Thompson and Dundy, the promoters
and conductors of Luna Park at Con
ey Island. Mr. Thompson being the
inventor and promotor of a number
of marvelous illustions which were
seen at both the Buffalo and St. Louis
world's fairs, proceeded to present
the play. Its overwhelming success
ts a matter of recent theatrical record
and that it ran for a year in New
York, for half that length of time in
Chicago and longer in London, is but
mute testimony to the perspicuity of
Mr. Thompson. The production to be
seen here by Cohan and Harris' co
medians has not lost one iota of the
value of interest of the metropolitan
presentation. Indeed, scenically,
electrically and mechanically it is an
absolute reproduction, while dramat
ically it is interpreted by a cast ful
ly as strong and equally as clever as
the original.
"Hl'MAN HEARTS."
The powerful and impressive mel
odrama "Human Hearts," presented
by the exceptionally strong company
of players, will be offered for the ap
proval of the lovers of all that is
clean and wholesome in melodrama
on the stage, at the Academy of
Music matinee and night, Saturday,
September 25.
"Human Hearts" has been firmly
established as one of the most origi
nal and interesting of modern
dramas. The author has long been
famous as a playwright, but in the
present instance he has surpassed all
his former efforts. For ingenuity,
strength and brilliancy, "Human
Hearts" is a marvel of stage craft,
done by a master hand in stage ad
roitness. The author poured out his
entire store of theatric knowledge in
this play. He has produced a work
of magnificent possibilities for a mel
odramatic public. The characters are
finely drawn, the dialogue is crisp,
the human interest is all absorbing,
the comedy is charming, the pathos is
sincere. Taken on its entirety, "Hu
man Hearts" is probably one of the
strongest plays ever shown on the
American stage.

The program at the Revelry Is one
of the best of the season. Today's
bill of vaudeville consists of Miss
Mamie Lafferty, one of the best toe
dancers that has ever been booked in
Raleigh. Miss Lafferty is graceful
and dainty in her song and dance act.
Palmer & Parker, in the College
Girl and the Professor, are booked
in the Revelry for Monday, Tuesday,!
and Wednesday, and come highly rec
ommended. One of the features of this act is
the trained dogs.
The pictures are of the usual high
class standard.
The Gem Theatre has secured for
this week two fine acts: "Mr. Ed.
Gerkin," the real blackface and the
best natural whistler in the world, is
an attraction-you can't afford to miss.
"Kellar & Browning" appear in an
acf. of singing, dancing, whistling,
character changes, and comedy. This
is a high-class act in every way, and
a big hit everywhere. Motion pic
tures of the same high quality as
usual.
"Sherlock Holmes, Jr.", will visit
the Gem Theatre tonight.
The characters, scenery, costumes,
and program were better than this
famous organization has had in many
years. For the past few seasons the
performances were mediocre, and
were living upon past reputation, but
this year it is plenty able to win on
merit alone.
There was a scarcity of minstrel
chestnuts that was indeed refresh
ing, and there was a dash and a swing
to the whole performance that was
most pleasing. Of course, Al Field
and Doc Quigley called for the great
est applause, for these veterans of
minstrelsy ate and always will be
popular idols. The singing of Chas.
Reinhardt deserves special mention,
even in that company of brilliants.
Those who have the opportunity of
seeing this show this year and fail to
do so, will miss a rare treat.
People Baffled Day to Day By

I then went to the capitol square
and sat there awhile and then to
Wright's for my dinner. Then went
up to the matinee. Oh, such fun! I
sat next to two young ladies. They
had some man across from them
spotted for- Sherlock -Hofmes, Jr.
Poor little things! How badly fooled
they were, for I was right next ' to
them.
I laughed at the jokes. Oh, Al G.
when shall I see your minstrel again?
The show was over rather late, so
I went to my room, then to Wright's
for supper. Atnlght I went to theGem.
There was a very large crowd, con
sidering the minstrel was in town.
The vaudeville and pictures were fine.
Mr. Mansfield told me that he was to
have tlie best bill this week he had
ever had. Well, I'll he there, you bet.
Left Gem about 9:30 p. m. Went
to my room, as I was very tired after
being chased around all the day.
Tomorrow Night.
Now people, I have been here for
over a week and no one has been
able to catch me. I have an engage
ment elsewhere and am compelled to
draw the contest to a close, so am
going to give you an opportunity of
catching me. I am going to the Gem
Theatre tomorrow night and Mr.
Mansfield is going to have my pic
ture thrown on the screen. I am
going to be sitting right in there at
the time and if you are there and will
have a copy of the Evening Times
in your hand you will have a chance
to catch me and win the $25.00.
Now think what you will miss If
you are not at the Gem. You will
see a good show and have an oppor
tunity of winning the $25.00. Better
go and don't fail to have a copy of
the last edition of the Evening Times
and don't forget to say "You are the
mysterious Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Jr.,
of the Evening Times." If you don't
have a copy of the paper in your
hann, and if you don't say the exact
wording, it will not count.
Will you be there? I will.
and the soul runs up the ladder of
faith and reaches God.
In concluding Dr. Ivey dwelt upon
the importance of never losing the
child-like faith that clings to the
Bible and all of its teachings.
Rev. L. B. Jones occupied the pul
pit at the evening services. The sub
ject of his sermon was based upon
Uie text, "And the spirit and the bride
say come, and let iiim that heareth
say come, and let him that is athirst
come, and whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely."
He said the great purpose of the
Bible was the salvation of the world
through Jesus Christ.
After proving by every day occur
rences that a man reaps what he has
sown, he brought out clearly tne
striking difference between christian
it y and other relig'ons. Christianity
is the only religion that has the
Christ.
He very forcefully impressed upon
his hearers the universal Invitation
given by the Father, and he very
earnestly urged all who had not con
fessed Christ to do so without delay.
At the close of the sermon three
were received into the church.
The services at St. Luke's Home
yesterday afternoon were conducted
by Mr. R. E. Prince, under the aus
pices of the devotional department
of the Epworth League of Central
church.

CENTRA!. M. E. CHURCH.
Dr. T. N. Ivey Preached on Faith t
the .Morning Houi- The Pastor Oc
cupied the Pulpit at Night.
At Central church Dr. T. N. Ivey
preached the morning sermon, taking
for the Bitbject of his discourse, "Tiie
Greatness of Faith."
He said that it is unforunate tat
the word faith has became dry and
abstract, when If the word was un
derstood clearly, it would be consid
ered a very vital subject.
Fa'th is a faculty belonging to
every one, a faculty by which we
take as true what we cannot Bee, and
then act upon that assumption.'
He spoke of the greatness of faith
In the practical life, that the grand
est monuments of clvlllatton and the
most glowing trophies of science are
all monuments of faith. In the men
tal world faith gains many victories,
for the calculations of the astrono
mer, given to the1 world many years
before they transpire, are among the
most gigantic achievements of men
tal faith of which one can conceive.
Faith achieves Its grandest triumph
In the spirit world.. There Is where
the mental machinery falls to pieces
