Half a dozen of the girls in William Boogar's Philadelphia, Pa., orchestra appeared as witnesses for the showman in the injunction proceedings before Judges Bregy and Kinsey, and b reply to many questions relating to the manner in which their music blocked Market street, replied individually and collec- tively that anybody who said they didn't know how to piny wis mean, anyway. -Some mere man, a member of the Market Street Business Men's Protective League, had testified that the orchestra, while it was good to look at, had a limited repertoire, and could pin only "The Holy City" and "The Palms." Miss Anna Baldwii, the petite leader of the girl musicians, just settled that right oi when she took the stand. "Two tunes! Well; I declare! Why, we have between 130 and 200 pieces in our repertoire, and we never play the same piece twice in the one day. We're the best ladies' - orchestra, we are." This, with a vigorous nodding of the big green plumes in her becoming hat, was delivered in a manner that bade fair to quasi those old injunction proceedings right then and there. "I'm the drummer girl," said Miss Adele Clark, when askeJ what particular "noise" she produced. "I also play the bells, the bass drum, the snare drum and—oh, yes, I almost forgot- the zylbphone." Miss Clark wanted it understood that neither with any one nor with all of her many instruments, did she evoke the "harsh, discordant, nerve-wrecking sounds" described in the complaint Other members of the orchestra simply wouldn't admit thai they were a nuisance. Common Councilman Charles A. Harris, chairman of tit committee appointed to investigate the show places, testified that he had found nothing of which to complain. After hearing argument by counsel for both sides, Judp Bregy held the case under advisement * * * The new moving picture show which is o be opened and cot ducted at 729 Market street, Rochester, N.

Love and moving pictures like oil and water will not mix and that is how it turned out that there was but one thing fc Percy to do if he wanted to hold his job and still satisfy hi craving to possess pretty Elsie Dorothy. That one thing was get married, which sometimes cures the love fever and mis better with moving pictures. Ergo—Elsie Dorothy Maher is now Mrs. Percy Rowe. Sh made the change just as the morning sun^was peeping over tfci Hoboken hills Saturday, November 9. The courtship of Elsie and Percy began in the Manhatte Theater, now being used for a moving picture show. Elsie sweeter than the candy she sells in the lobby. So at least thoug* Percy. Percy works the moving picture machine, which a too careful management had placed in such a position that Pi could feed his eyes on Elsie. According to the mana there was a woful mix-up in the pictures on the screen, ns to the mystification of the audiences. When Al. Minahan, the manager, saw what was going on warned Percy that if he wanted to hold his job to keep his ew on the films and off Elsie during business hours. That was tb last straw, and so on Friday night he and Elsie, thinking were on their way to Hoboken, took the Forty-second street fef and landed in Weehawken. They could not find anyone there to tie the knot, so they hi 1 * an automobile, and at 5 in the morning landed at Justice Keefc office, where Miss Maher became Mrs. Rowe. Then they cas back and begged forgiveness of the management of the theatt Last night Elsie was selling sweetmeats and Percy was tunc the crank of the picture machine, each happy in the other's fc The new moving picture enterprise to be started in the fonw "Alhambra" on Fourteenth street, New York, is mo.-t reaii.
