THE SHOW HOUSES YALE THEATER. The Yale is not only maintaining its good record but each evening sees many new faces, and all express their appreciation of the best show in town, and all for a nickel and a dime. Ten numbers, really good things, but the best vaudeville numbers and the best first production photo picture plays, many in two and three reels, an" produced by the best actors on bot'i sides of the Atlantic. Not a feature but that is acceptable to the most refined taste, no rowdiness nor vulgarity, only real amusement and entertainment and above all no promises made that we do not keep. Children go right in with their parents and sit with them at the five cent admission, and are not tucked away in the attic.

On Monday nights always we have the professional tryout of a number of clever professionals who want to introduce new acts. This is a feature some try to imitate, but none succeed. In fact, this is the original bouse for professional tryouts. On Wednesday we give the greatest musical treat of the South side, with all the best song publishing houses sending their best singers with their best songs to contest for the public favor of our intelligent audiences. On Friday evenings we have the piano contests which is developing into a wonderful exhibition of the talent of young players of genius and ability, living in Englewood only.

It is a splendid feature, and one that lias proven a inner. Nothing like it ever carried to success before. We are having the bookings of all the best numbers and can not ask Times' readers to plod Through them all, but will merely mention "The Phoebus Eight," Edisoa's greatest photo play, i Anne Banister Merwin in the leading lole that is on tonight. Sunday the special bill will include Lilian's iwo reel play, "Self Convicted," Invisible a roaring comedy, and that prettiest of fresh little stories, "Under the Daisies." It is the story of a loving trust and unsuspecting confidence abused. It has been told man times before, but never so convincingly and irresistibly as in this.

Vitagraph a special feature. The Self Convicted" play is a marvel: If you committed a robbery to save your mother'b lite, and it' years alter you became a detective and were put on your own trail--what would you do' 1 a story of a man thus strangely placed. He faced the issue squarely and was ordered to burn up his own finger-prints. On comes the attraction of "The Invisible Government." This time "The Man in the Street" levels his attention on the boss of all political bosses He lets the 1 millionaire's daughter permit herself to be kidnaped by the master intriguer and conquers him after action is piled on action. A fascinating thread of events, brought to a climax by the genius of the detective.

And thus we might go on for a column telling jou of our superior attractions, but if you become a patron, you will soon learn that any show put on at the Yale is a good one, and the latest and best in photo play, as well as in the vaudeville line. ENGLEWOOD THEATER One of the greatest mechanical devices ot modern times, "The Star Ball Player." will be set on the stage of the Englewood theater every day of the world's series between the new York and Philadelpnia clubs, commencing Tuesday, October 7. Owing to the difference in time between New York and this city, the doors of the theater i be opened at o'clock, the game starting at 1 p. m. Chicago time Every play on the diamond i a i leproducod and the "Fans" v.ere unable to attend the regular games can imagine themselves on the field ot battle the baseball The management has also arranged tor a special ire and operator to receive the returns of the city series which will be read from the stage as speedily as received.

Following the baseball games the regular performance of the "Girls From the Follies" company will take A STEPPE. place, replete with a chorus of 35 classical beauties, gorgeously costumed in addition to the laugh producer, Harry Steppe, "The Hebrew Gent," who is the star of the company. The entire entertainment will be of the "somewhat different" order, consisting of a two act musical comedy augmented by electrical and mechanical effects, an olio consisting of specialities made up of a farcical sketch, "The Wop Street Cleaner," with Zitto and Loveridge in the rple of an Italian and a prima donna; Martin and Catlin in some nonsensical talk, songs and dances and the Parisian sensation of the era, "Einerie," who has been strongly heralded for the past few weeks. Of all sensations formerly before the public, it is said this one eclipses them all and as to what it is must remain a mystery until seen. It is advisable i'or those who intend seeing "The Girls From the Follies" to either procure seats in advance or telephone for reservations which will receive prompt attention.

Matinees will be given daily with no advance in price. NATIONALJH EATER "The Man From Home." In Daniel Voorhees Pike, the young Indiana lawyer who is the leading personage in the now famous play, "The Man From Home," the shrewd Yankee who decorated the stage in the days of our fathers and our fathers' fathers is re turned to life. Ho is Asa Trenchard, and Solon Shingle advanced a peg or two in manners and clothes to suit the added years and newer dignity our country boasts. He does not chew tobacco and he has quit for the time being whittling pine sticks. But he is the same keen-witted, taciturn, nasal- toned, big-hearted, in-the-nick-of-time hero we have always known him to be, and lie edges his way into your heart with every wiggle of his peaked shoulders and every twist of his homely face.

In other words, "The Man From Home" is a Yankee from Indiana. "I call him an says one of the characters in describing him, "because he is so content with being himself that he has not the slightest desire to be anything else." This is pretty good American sentiment. The country is for Daniel Voorhees Pike because he is American and proud of it, because he lives in Kokomo and is proud of that, and because he served in the legislature of Indiana and lives to boast of it. "Tho Man From Home" plays at the National week commencing Sunday matinee, October 5. "The Restless Spirit," three parts; Phillips Smalley in "The Shadows of Life," two-part "Rex;" Edwin August in "Pilgrim Messenger of Love," Glen White in "For Old Love's Wm.

JUST ABOUT BOOKS. "The culture of a nation can bo judged by the number and condition of its bookshops. The real bookshop is more than a plate where merchandise is sold; it is a center of intellectual life. From it radiate the vehicles of countless ideas--the most enduring things in the world, the unshakable basis of all civilization and all progress. One cannot imagine a more valuable adjunct to a town or city than a good bookshop.

Make the acquaintance of the nearest bookseller; he is likely to be a good man to know." S. B. Bradt, Englewood Bookshop, 2154 W. 63d St. ENGtEWOOD HAPPENINGS Ask Cooban.
