THROWING THE
ANCIENT DISCUS.
Champion Powers Explains How the
Present Method Differs From That
of Players in Ancient Times.

The art of throwing the discus is one
of the lost arts of the world. We to-
day may do fairly well-that is, we
may make some good throws and some
of US may be so fortunate as to break
records, but there are none of US who
do not often wonder how Phyallus
played the game. OF course it is pos
sible that we may even be doing better
work in this line than the Greeks, but
the impression that they were the ideal
discus throwers has become so general
that athletes have come to look back
upon those days as if they alone pro-
duced wonderful men.
There is something extremely fasci-
revived after so many centuries. Fully
twenty-four hundred years have passed
since Phyallus died, and yet it has been
only within a few years, that the game
that he played so we'll has been taken
up again. It had its re-birth in 1896,
on the occasion of the great interna-
tional athletic meet on the site of the
old Greek grounds.
To throw the discus properly is the
hardest Of the weight events 1t is also
the most aggravating, for it is possible
for a man to make three throws Of
equal force with every likelihood that
there will be a difference of three feet
between them. At the same time the
principles Of casting the ancient Greek
weights are simple and easily acquired.
The cer-shaped missile is clutched
in the palm Of the right hand. The

HENRY IRVING
AS ROBESPIERRE.
The Great Actor Gives Us Char
acter Much Superior to the
One in History.

Irving gives a RObespierre much more
interesting and picturesque than the
bloodthirsty wretch we have become ac-
customed to in the history of the
French Revolution. Irving's Robes
pierre is a man of culture and refine
Of his personal experience of the hope
lessness of the condition of the masses
who are below the aristOcracy.
His nature has been perverted by the
refusal of the nobleman for whom he
was attorney to permit him to marry
his daughter even after she was dis
graced. He grasps for absolute power,
thinking that no one but himself can
be entrusted with it. and believing that
with his enemies dead his administra-
ton of state would mean liberty for
the people. New enemies prevent his
purposes of mercy ever materiaiiZing.
The two most realistic and effective
scenes in the play are the prison, where
the rOyalist men, women and children
are waiting to be called to the guillo-
tine, and the scene in the National AS
sembly when it dethroned Robespierre.
The story and the pictures present
with never failing interest those who
have been arrested by the. Revolution
ary tribunals and the conditions under
which they meet in the great hall of
the prison. There they have their
games and social entertainments, there
they renew old friendships and form
new ones while waiting for the soldiers
who come every morning to take to the
guillotine those who have been con-
demned and whose names are read off
by the captain of the guard. Hope,
fear, despair, affection and self -sacri-
flee never had more realistic demon
strations than are presented in this re-
markable scene.

nance in my life, but it is, neverthe-
less, a cold, hard fact.
When 1 first came to New York I
could not get a chance to become a
member of the chorus, and when I had
my first opening it was to take a small
part in Hammerstein's Santa Marie" !"
In that play / was programmed as
Edna May Petite When 1 met Mr.
Lederer he said that he would be will
ing to give me a part in the Belle, -
which he was then getting ready to
produce. I said to him, mo chorus, if
YOU please" and he laughed.
Well, in spite of this I sat among the
chorus girls. and he told me that I
should understudy my present part, as
the actress who had been engaged to
sing it would not appear until the lat
est rehearsals- never knew that he
really meant me to sing it until the
last moment. I had sung THE Lost
Chord" for him, and he liked my voice.
He told me SO, but even then 1 did not
look for much, knowing that as a be-
ginner I must start at the foot of the
ladder. You may imagine my surprise
when 1 was given my great chance.
GOOD FORTUNE.
If I should describe the various
stages of my success in the United
States and my greater success in Lon
don, it would appear as if I was nothing
more than a bundle of egOtism when
nothing is further from my thought.
Chance, good fortune, call it " hat you

nothing to complain of in regard to my
stage experience 1 have only been be
fore the fOotlights a few years, and yet
I could not live without them.
AS to my methods of work, there is
little that can say. They tell me that
my voice has improved, and has in
creased in volume, but if this is a fact
it is but another instance in which fate
has been kind. I have taken no lessons
in either singing or elocution since
left New York, and do not be eve in
what is called the Conservatoire sys-
TEN.
My experience with it has been that
i'll drilling by set rule certain results
may be accomplished but the individual
is always lost sight of. That is what I
have tried to impress upon my work
Individuality. 1 try to put myself into
my lines, to be the person that I am
playing, and I believe that that is the
only way to succeed. I have always
tried to do the best that is in me, to
do justice to myself and to please the
public, and if I have succeeded that is
the only secret of my success. Given
my chances, any bright American girl
who followed these rules could do the
same thing. EDNA MAY.

SOCIETY AGITATED.
Hobart and Baldwin Withdraw From
BurIingame Club.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. pa SEN
sation has been caused in the Burlin-
game Country club, the resort of swell
dom, in Sammatoe county, by the res
ignations of young millionaire Walter
Hobart and Charles Baldwin, because
the directors of the club Thursday re-
quired that Mrs. Edward Parker Dea-
con, Baldwin's sister, be removed from
the grounds.
After the Deacon scandal in Paris,
Baldwin brought his sister to his ranch
near Menlo Park. She lived a retired
life for a long time, but recently a
strong effort has been made to get her
into the select set at Burlingame. This
attempt was aided by Hobart, as Bald
win recently married Hobarts sister.
Many of the members wives objected
to Mrs. Deacon because of the Paris
scandal, and Washington's birthday.
when she was on the verandas of the
club house, one of the directors told
Baldwin fatty that he would have to
remove her Baldwin threatened res
ignation. but this didn't modify the or
der, and the result was that Baldwin
and Hobart both sent in their resig-
nations. Hobart's withdrawal is a Sc
rious loss, as he had the largest stable
at the club and was the life of all
sports. Baldwin is the son of Rear Ad-
miral Baldwin of the navy.

OF course, I love dear old LOndon-hOw

when I arrived in England I suddenly
discovered that I had never known the
meaning Of the word. I had been
praised in New York, but I was idol

Real lords and ladies, the highest in
society, treated me with the greatest
consideration. They came to hear me
every night, and they overwhelmed me
with attentions AS the result, 1 saw
English life at it's best, and I can't help
loving the land of my first real tri-
umph.

success I have not gotten what pro

Between ourselves, however, Z am

hand at something new. 1t is nice to
be praised so much, but I feel that
am getting mechanical, and that is
something dreadful. I know that I
can't sing like Lillian Russell, or act
like some of the great actresses, but
then I am looking forward to the time
when I can show that it is possible for
me to do something besides the Belle"

way, but now that I have made a little
success am glad that have had SO
much experience.
OF course do not mind all the talk
that there has been about my rise from

I might as well set things right. As
a matter of fact, have never been a
member of the chorus in my life. I
know that this spoils much of the ro-
