HAWTREY COMES TO RESCUE
Hoppcr's BurIesque is Saved by an
Actor Who Impersonntes Himself
in Emergency.

LONDON, Nov. Anew York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram )-DeWolf Hop
per has scored another big success with his
burlesque on Grundys "Degenerates, -
smartly written for him by w. II. Post. Mr..
Hopper said:
81 merely took up Langtry's play because
ii is most popular success and / was de-
lighted with the way it's humor caught on
instantly. No one enjoyed it more than
Langtry herself. She offered every assist
ance, lending me the manuscript and giving
us every chance to study the acting of De
generates" Grundy told me he regarded it
as a fine advertisement. And so it Is.
Our triumph on the first night was due
mainly to Charles Hawtrey. who happened to
be behind the scenes when Blake, who was
doing travesty on him, came to me with
his nose bleeding. in despair The
whole seemed to be on the brink of ruin.
But Hawtrey said: Look here, Hopper, I'll
go on and travesty myself
"He had been present at rehearsal and /
never saw such a dumbfounded house as
when Hawtry appeared. They could not
believe 1t was he. neither could they
imagine that any one could give such an
absolute living, breathing imitation.
''Hawtry enjoyed it immensely. So did l.
guess he is about the best fellow I ever
met. / look forward to splendid triumph
for him when he goes to New York. He is a
born artist. He is one of the great school
of Charles Matthews and Jefferson.
"I don't expect to be back in time to pro-
duce burlesque simultaneously with The
Degenerates' in New York. / find that ver-
satiltty goes down with the English
audiences more than it does with Amer
leans My work in The Degenerates' is
straight work in a dress suit which Amer
leans don't want Hopper in dress suit
playing in burlesque should consider fit

An Eight Thousand Mile Continuous
Railway Journey.
Some idea of the immense extent oil
Russian territory may be Cleaned from
the enormous railway runs that are
possible there. In the latest edition
of the Continental Bradshaw there
may be found times Of starting ana
arrival Of continuous series OF rall-
way trains making up a connected
railway journey which would begin at
Calais and would end at Kijutschi, the
most eastward station at present open
on the Trans-Siberian railway, about
twenty hours journey east OF kras-
noyarsk In Central Siberia. The length
of this Journey is, as nearly as posi-
BILE. 5,l0O miles, and of this distance
some $500 miles are traversed in Rus
sian railway carriages. The time oe-
cupied would be twelve days and TWEEN
ty hours. 1t is possible to travel by
rail as far as Irkutsk. the capital OF
Eastern Siberia, which is $50 miles
east Of Karnoyarsk This exceeds the
longest possible American run by
nearly l 900 miles, Our longest trans
continental trip is in Canada from
Halifax. in Nova Scotia, where the
traveller may get into a Canadian Pa
cific car and go through to Vancouver
on the shores of the Pacific, 1856 miles
away. The longest possible run would
he from Halifax to Vera Cruz on the
gulf of Mexico. via New York, Mont
gomery and Mexico, a distance oi
about 4.20O miles. When the Trans
Manchurian railway joins the Trans
siberian. as II will do, at 0non. it will
be possible to travel continuously by
rail from Calais to Port Arthur. The
latter part of the route has not yet
been definitely decided upon, but the
estimated total distance will not be
much less than 5000 miles, which will
be performed in about twenty days.

THE slNeEas


He struck his harp sounding stroke,
And high in Heaven the music rang
The echoes In the skies awoke
Fluting the mighty note he sang
And no one paused TO greet his thought;
Life was too swift, and love too sweet
HE sang his lofty stave for naught,
The throng went by with hurrying feet.
But one who loitered by the way,
Who wore no singing robe at all,
Lifted a warble light and gay
As child's laugh. throstle's call.
ANA half beneath the breath his strain
Seemed full of tunes all men had heard
Long. long ago. sweet falls OF rain,
The love-song of the mating bird.
The rustling leaf. the murmuring dove.
They heard In that melodious sigh.
The whisper OF first trembling love
They heard. and their first lullaby.
Within their hearts they sang his lay
Again: they kissed his garments hem.
And threw their laurels In his way
That he might set his feet on them.
