what larger than the famous Biltmore

raHgementS will he in every way Ameri-
can. the walls will be built of gray
stone in the old style without a steel

Edna Wallace Hopper and Lillian Rus
sell have for several years run a close
race for the record in originality and
amount of personal exploitation, but the
little coincidence has taken sudden
squirt that left Miss Russell away back.
Mrs Hopper is devotee of horse rae
ing, and the prospect of appearing in Il
matinee of "Florodora" ON SATURDAY.
while the Brooklyn handicap was h"ing
run, she declared unbearable She asked
John {. Fisher. the manager of "Flor0-
DORA" what he would sell Saturday
afternoon house for. He told her that
the cauacitY was $1,000 and that n:

money had been taken in. Mrs. Hopper
said:

handicap.
until Mrs. Hopper gave 4 check for the
S1700. The announcement gned 10y
Fisher was put on the bulletin board at
the stage door. telling the company that
there would he no matinee. People who
came to buy tickets got the same inf0r-
nation. There is no doubt of the genu-

away, and by Mis-. Roppers certified

conspicuous figure at the race. That she
will. therefore, enjoy the sport kecnly is
sure. But, even as a business invest
ment. her outlay is probably shrewd. 1t
will bring to her an amount and kind of
celebrity worth more than S1T00 10 an
