Argentine ThcatreTqipresarios At Last Find Pretty Native Chorus Girls Buenos Aires, Oct;. 13.—The thea tre impressarios of Buenos Aaires have at last developed what never has been seen before on the local stage—pretty, shapely and tuneful Argentine choi girls. In the past years foreigners who saw the so-called revues in Buenos Aires seldom went more than once. They came away declaring that the Argentine show girls were the most awful collection of ill-looking, apa thetic and voiceless specimens of femininity they had ever seen. Two years ago one enterprising theatre manager imported a company from Paris which included a chorus of unusually good looking young wo men. Last year two Paris companies came, and althoug they played to Special Election . Here Wednesday All arrangements have been com pleted for a special election to.be held in this city Wednesday for 'the purpose of determining whether or not the recent act of the legislature providing for a board of five com missioners shall be approved.

PEOPLES ICE COMPANY PHONE 287 ir New York, Oct. 13.—When Edward McCormack, Jr., 21, learned that man who has cared for him as his own for 18 years is not his real father he sobbed piteously and prom ised Kings county Judge Taylor that will go straight. McCormack and James Spencer were found guilty of having commit ted a burglary in Brooklyn. Spencer was sentenced to five years in Sing Sing. Then came McCormack's turn. U I was 1 going to sentence you from two to four years," Judge Taylor began. “But I feel that you should begin a new chapter in. your life. This man," indicating Edward McCor mack, whom you thought was your father, has worked and cared for you as his own. . Taking this into consid eration, I shall give you five years of strict probation. You are to live with your foster father and do as he says. He has done everything to keep you straight, but you have failed. ft “Do you mean to tell me this man houses, the expense of bring ing them such a long distance and paying the salaries of the stars made profits small. ‘ ■ .' - ......... ■■■ ' f This season the local theatre man agers decided they could produce just as good from local talent by making the effort to find it. Two of them succeeded by offering high sab aries, importing Parisian ideas for costumes, selecting graceful young women and employing efficient danc ing and music masters to train them. Both theatres have had the “S. R. O.” sign out for two months, and Ameri cans who have attended the per formances exclaim: “Well, this is more like New York.’.’ REVIVAL SERVICES AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH TO CONTINUE ALL WEEK The revival services at the Second Baptist church will continue through this week.
