On Tuesday, - January 20th* -the Fairbanks Theatre, Springfield, O., will offer ohe of the breeziest, most refreshing‘musical skits belore the public, entitled “ The Isle of the. Bong Bong.” . Tins production does hot have Its fuHwovenaboufcantique affairs or tOpfi‘s,of lio interest to the present day theatre goer. On the contrary all of its jokes and jests re­ late to things and peoples* of the hour. They are bright,- crisp and Certain to be mirth provoking, The, piece enjoyed a most prosperous en- gagement in Chicago, where it was originally brought out. In fact it reflects decidedly the Chicago at­ mosphere, treating of comic topics in a ters*, rollicking way. The entire production can be assured to offer a pleasing evenings- entertain­ ment. On Wednesday,' January 30th, the Fairbanks Theatre, Bpringfleld, O.^ will offer the idyllic drama, “ Unden Southern Skies", This piece is from the pen of the’ author of “Way Down East” and partakes of the same fidelity to atmosphere and human* nature that “Way Down East’ ’-does'.

Its story has its strong moments of dramatic^Inten­ sity as well aa its scenes ot almost lyric beauty, i t is a play ,sure'to please the general theatre goer, for It reflects ip abundance the human nature, which is universal—the homely, plain, rugged and yet chiv­ alrous and.true human nature.

It wifi be a per­ formance that will impart stirring and impressive sensations that a person will remember with pleasure and delight ever after. Miss O’Neil Is an actress concerningwhom there has been much discussion recently* lot she attained to a position in Boston and classic New England that has caused her to do character­ ized in those sections as the high priest of emotional acting* In that part ot tho country she has taken rank with Julia Marlowe, Mrs". Leslie Carter, Mrs Flske, Clara Morris and others of that type* She is so popular there that she has been able fo sedre an entire season’s run in that section making a tour to the middle* AVesfc unnecessary* How­ ever, to increase the number of the public acquainted with her work, she lias decided this year to visit the Middle West. She Is offering Bardon’ s “ The Sorceress.” a drama inwhich Mrs. Patrick Campbell at­ tained to Such distinction. How­ ever MiSs O'Neil lifts achieved great­ er results with this vehicle than Mrs, Carter. For Miss O’Neil is capable of greater heights in strong acting. To anyone caring to wit­ ness a really stirring performance, artistically executed, tho opportun­ ity to witness Miss O’ Neil should pot be left unembraced, Oh Friday, February 1st, Prim­ rose’s Minstrels, an organization that the publics well knows repre­ sents the best in that line of enter­ tainment, will visit the Fairbanks Theatre.

Instruct Benators and Representa­ tives as to their duties, has com« out In the opeh for the first tune in Sfa attack upon fche Crumpackbr bill proposing fcoprovide for-judicial re­ view of fraud orders issued by-’ the Post Office Department. The chief. nevance of the Critics of this hill is that it would -give to' individuals, firms, and corporations* accused ot using the mails to defraud the bene­ fit of trial by jury. In the past the Postoffice Department ban used the power .to issue the fraud orders with great discretion and there have been few cases in Which there is any ground for the belief that grave in­ justice has been dohel- The fact, relpains, however, that unless these orders can be reviewed effectively by the courts every man engaged jh business is absolutely at* the mercy of the'Postoffieeauthoriticsandmay have his business rained and him . self branded as a lawbreaker at any­ time- Representative Grumpaekt r and. a majority of the members of the House of Representatives did not think it unreasonable that a man accused Of conducting a fraud­ ulent business should have the right of trial by jury and the bill has passed the House and is pend­ ing before the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. -Now the People’s Lobby comes Into tho field and practically attempts to brand as a friend of criminals every man In Congress who believes that a jury trial should hot bo denied to those accused of using the mails to de­ fraud. ^ Mr. Bryan’s proposition that the government should own and operate the railroads of the country has been so thoroughly discredited that his more conservative admirers are now Contending that ho will not In­ sist on a pupiic ownership plank be­ ing put into the platform.
