Paul Gilmore to Be Featured in
"Under the Red RObe.,
Seen Here Last Season in g The
Three Musketeers."
ACTOR OF PROMISE
His "D'Artagnan" Was a De-
Iightful Piece of Work.
Topeka Is Included in His Tour
Next Season.

Adaptability has as much to do with
success in the various classes of stage
work as it has with the various profess
sions of life. Early last season a young
actor practically unheard OF, came to
Topeka and proved that he had adapta-
bility for romantic drama His produc-
ton was a cheap arrangement of Dumas
Three Musketeers'' and his company
was as cheap as the production. His
..D'Artagran' was not that of the late
younger Salvini, of SOthern or James
O'Neill, but it was one that possessed all
the rustic mannerisIns and enervescent
nature that Dumas put into the hero of
his famous novel The audience that
saw II forgot the cheapness of the pro-
duction and company in approaching
the actors work.
The young man is Paul Gilmore. Next
season he will be featured in Under the

soUsA's MATcHLEss STYLE.
German Critics Carried Away by the
Grace of the American Bandmaster.

This is what one Berlin critic had to
say of John Philip SOusa'S manner of
conducting his band while the famous
American bandmaster was in the Ger
man capital:
1t pays to go to KrolTs to see Mr..
SOusa conducting his men. His direct
ing is unlike taht of any other conduc-
tor He does not make this or that mo-
ton to draw from the orchestra this
or that shade of tone Moreover, in
spired by what he hears, he INDUCES in
ar ever-changing lively pantonime.
Now he appears to be holding in his
left hand the reins of a four in hand,
then one imagines he has a whip in his
right hand. while the next moment he
appears to be driving according to the
tempo OF the music. Again he stands,
his head inclined to one side. as
though taking aim with a gun by way
of portraying as a shot the fOTtissino
stroke on the bass drum He floats he
dances, he assumes fencing positions

DOROTHY MoRToN's VOICE.
She Regains it After Eating Poisoned
Lobster and Losing Flesh.

From England comes the surprising
news that Miss Dorothy Morton, the
heavyweight prima donna, who has
been seen in Topeka several times, has
lost all her excess avoirdupois by an
ingenious system which puts Amelia
Summervilles f1esh-reducing secret to

extent that when finally she recovered

Barrymore's Repartee.

One story, while famous through all
theaterdom 1 think has never been
printed, recalls a writer in Every body s
Magazine Six years ago Maurice
Barrymore wrote for Stuart Robson the
scenario of play, which that comedian
thought very fine, and asked Barrymore
to finish as soon as possible This was
the last that Robson ever heard of the
matter. Gus Thomas. who was a
great admirer of Barrymore's talent, has
sorrowed over this, and frequently re-
proves his friend over his waste of time
One night, before a number of actors, he
said: Barry, you are too frivolous for
a man of your ability. What you want
in order to bring you down to earth
and make you serious and ambitious is

The Surrender of Alexandria.

CProf. Stanley Iane-Poole in Longman' s !
The surrender of Alexandria, the last
foothold of the demoralized Romans, was
not attended by acts of violence. We
possess a graphic narrative handed
down from a soldier in the Saracen
army He tells how, when the troops
approach Alexandria, their general re-
ceived a letter from the governor, (mean-
ing perhaps the Patriarch CyruS) pro-
posing peace; how the letter was read
aloud to the army, and then sent to the
instructions; how the troops waited in
turned the long desert route; and how
when the Caliph's acceptance was an
nounced, the whole army shouted AL
lahu Akbar.' Good is most create the
loudest TIE Deum they had shouted since
they entered the land
In spite of numerous stories, there
was no siege of Alexandria-merely a
tame capitulation- John of Nikiu, a
nearly contemporary Christian chron-
icler, states that there was no pillage or
violence. Amir levied the tribute, took
nothing from the churches, and pro-
tected the inhabitants. The well-known
legend of the burning of the (already
burned) Alexandrian Library is found
after the supposed event. 1t is not men
toned by the contemporary John of
Nikiu, nor is it found in the early Arab
chroniclers, who had no motive for sup
pressing it, or in the Greek historians,
who would have been glad to record it.
It was reserved for a Syrian monk and
a Bagdad physician in the thirteenth
century to reveal the secret that had
lain hidden for 600 years.

and singers. His representations We're

College Game Witnessed by Ten

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June 21-Ten
thousand people saw Harvard defeat ted bv
Yale on Soldiers field this afternoon by
score of 10 to . in a ball game which
was never in doubt after the fifth inning.
The Yales batted two of Harvard's pitch
ers out of the box, and played much bet
ter IN the field than their opponents. The
Harvard team seemed to lack spirit from
the moment Yale scored their first run.
Yale was in the lead all through the
game, and, after five innings had been
completed, Her ultimate victory was
never questioned. Sullman started In to
pitch for Harvard, and in the first in
ming Yale made four runs from five hits
and base on balls. Stillman then
steadied down a bit. but in the sixth in
ming he was totally unreliable, and Ker-
nan, the other freshman pitcher, was SUBJ
stituted. Five runs were made off Ker-
nan in one inning, and then Mcdonald
was tried. He did excellent work and
shut out Yale for the rest of the game

AFFRONT TO N. LOUBEI
COMMISSIONER GENERAL PECK
FORGOT AN ENGAGEMENT.

PARIS. June 2L-The official visit of
President Loubet to the United States
pavilion in the Rue Des Nations took
place today. By some unfortunate cir
cumstance neither the United States
commissioner general, Ferd w. Peck, nor
the assistant commissioner, Benjamin D.
Woodward, was there to receive him at
the appointed hour $3.50 a. m. The sec
retary of the commissioner, Maj. Fred
Bracket. and a few members of the
national commission were in the build
ing, but they had not been officially pre-
sented, and President Loubet could not
take any action. The United States
ambassador, Gen. Horace Porter being
present, however. came forward and re-
ceived the president and escorted him
over the building, explaining the various
features.
President Loubet ascended to the sec
ond floor, examined the different rooms,
and then departed, having remained in
the building fourteen minutes altogether.
Commissioner Peck arrived just after the
president had gone.
