NETHERS0LE IN AN
ATHERTON CHARACTER.

Cheering news comes from Miss Olga
Nethersole's country place in England
that this gifted woman having recov-
cred from the recent operation perform
ed on her, has been sought out by Mrs.
Gertrude Atherton, who has under
taken to cOllaborate with her In the
dramatization Of one of Mrs. Ather-
toms books Here is a combination
which should bring results 70 make NJ

If Olga has fully recovered and II Ger
trude Is feeling pretty well herself We
Will probably see a production that will
cause the chamber stairway scene in
"Sapho" TO look like an illustrated edi-
ton of Mr. Young's Might Thoughts"
Most people have never been salts
fed with any of Olga's plays for they
have felt that no dramatic author has
succeeded in fully appreoiating the
depth Of the feminine nature. Perhaps
this is because the authors were men
even including clyde Fitch, who enjoys
exceptional opportunities in grasping
the delicacy Of the feminine tempera-
ment, But with Mrs, Atherton to d.
rect her energies to what heights may
not the beautiful Olga rise--and that,
too, without the adventitious aid of the
stairway?
No hint has been given as to the
book which is to be dramatized but It
is fancied that It will be Mrs. Ather-
toms first novel, which was so dramatic
that It Kissed and sputtered with ar
dent fires, more or less endangerlng
other books and thereby causing its ex-
| clusion from Libraries

and conditions for the coming polo
championship OF the United States.
The matches will be played Sept. PA on
the grounds of the Brookline Country
club, near Boston. The Dedham
(Mass.) team now holds the title, but
they will have trouble in maintaining
their supremacy Six organizations are
scheduled to meet in the Journeys, and
the preparatory games have shown
them all to be In top notch form.
The Dedhams, whose field is at Karl
stein, won the premiership at Prospect
park, Brooklyn, a year ago. They de-
feated the Westchester On, " Country
club by one goal in one of the best and
most sensational matches ever seen In
this country The winning team con-
sisted Of Allan Forbes, Il. NJ. Weld, w.
II, Goodwin and Joshua Crane. The
Westchester quartet was Eugene 5,
Reynal, John +. Cowdin, j. NJ. Water
bury. Jr., and Lawrence Waterbury.
The contest this season will be bat
tie of giants. There has been great
effort to get formidable tours together,
and this has greatly affected the Lake
wood IN. j. team. The Jersey repre-
sentatives have drawn on Rockaway
for Foxhall Keene, formerly the bes;

supplies the two Waterbury boys.

Great regret is felt In England be-
cause OF the death of Pierre Lorilard,

While there may be some ground for
statements that various American

shown consistent form abroad, yet
much OF the implied criticism is UNI
doubtedly due to professional jeal-
ousy" American turf successes in Eu-
rope have been so frequent that natu-

racing in France and England is gov
erned by strict rules and able officials,

deliberate reyersals Of form they should
know that the remedy lies in their own
