His work In "The Man on the Box" and “The Devil” established him as a leader in things theatrical and In vaudeville he has won a success. His act will embrace a little bit of everything—singing, dancing, acrobatic stunts and a bit of the drama. The act is the highest salaried individual act in vaudeville, and has been pro nounced the season’s greatest headliner. Rosalind Coghlan and company will of fer “The Obstinate Miss Granger,” a play let that Is full of clever comedy and that Is classed with the best of the good things in this branch of theatricals. The famous Jungmann family, a sextet of sen sational aerial entertainers, will be one of the drawing cards of the week and pretty Olive Briscoe will be a star.

The bill w-ill be "The Wishing Ring,” a play story that was produced by Margurite Clarke. Miss Bunting has se lected the play because it gives her the opportunity to play a little girl. The story deals with the experiences of a little country girl who is very fond of animals and birds, and to make the scene realistic birds, dogs and monkeys will be used in the production.

Ben Turbett, a Celtic wit and an actor of ability, is another favorite. Miss Lovey Marie Greene, a pritna donna with a beautiful voice, has the part of the “winning widow." This cast of principals is backed up by “The Winning Widow” big beauty chorus of thirty girls.

The American Bell Telephone Com pany today completed its arrangements for setting aside a fund of $10,000,000 for pensions, sick benefits and life in surance for the 175,000 employees of the allied companies which make up the big wire corporation, the Southern Bell being one. About 10,750 employees of the Southern Bell -are included in the list of persons to be benefited by the fund. The Western Union Telegraph Company and the Western Electric Company both are included. The benefit fund is the idea of the veteran, T. N.

As fast as claims are paid from the fund the companies will replace the amount by additional gifts, keeping the fund always up to its maximum. Male employees who have reached 60 years and who have been twenty years in the service may retire on pensions, the amount to be based on salary and length of service. Women employees may retire at 55 years. Payments for disability from accidents and for sick ness are provided, and in case of death from accident in performance of duty an insurance amounting to three years’ pay will be paid the dependents of the dead employee, the maximum payment to be $5,000. In case an injured em ployee has legal rights to redress he may exercise the option of accepting the benefit or exercising his legal rights. The administration of funds will be in the hands of employees' benefit com mittees, to be appointed by the direc tors of the respective companies.
