Ever since his arrival in the world a world which has, been made so happy by his existence when the stork's scales registered his weight as 16 pounds Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle's lucky number has ibeen sixteen. These figures are inextricably entwined with his thread of life and so many mo mentous things have occurred on the Kith that the screen comedian has be come more than superstitious about the smybol. It is a religion with him now. Not only did he weigh 16 pounds when he first saw the lippht of dav, but he was bom on the 16th day of March, 1886. He has been 16 years in the theatrical profession and was married to Minta Durfee on the 16th of the month. Negotiations for his present busi ness affiliations with Joseph M. Schenck were begun on the 16th of last December, consummated on the 16th of January and the contracts formally signed on the 16th of Feb ruary.

The three act Hippodrome vaude ville show at the Arcade last night was certainly all knock-outs; each act was met with great applause and the audience was loth to let each one give way -to the other. Tom Queen and La Petite Ruth opened the performance. Their act is comedy dancing, singing and mono logue and Mr. Queen with his funny sayings and dancing kept the audience in an uproar. The DeBeers Sisters ni"e beautiful girls and beautiful dancers with beautiful costumes. Their act is a very high class variety of character and toe dancing. The in- ; cidental music for the act is beautiful. Next comos Ball and Sinclair with an act that has never been excelled in tho city. Mr. Ball can and does play the banjo and before he was through the audience was carried away with tho rhythm of his raggy music. Miss Propellers of Nation Discuss Draft. New York, May 10.
