WITH HACKETT
 BEHIND THE SCENES.

It was the privilege enjoyed by two or three Montgomery women last night to be for a while behind the scenes between acts with Hackett. His mother granted 1t. Yes, 'Hackett's mother" who proud ly wears and seems to enjoy the distinc- tion above any other. She is 6 queenly- looking woman, with wealth of soft white hair and magnetic personality, whom her son calls dear" ,.
 With us behind the scenes was the Montgomery man who played parts" twelve years ago in amateur perform ances. when they were college boys at Co., lpmbia College, in New York, and who had not seen him before on the stage. One of the ladies suggested that it would be in order for the Montgomery man MT. Philip Stern-to tell him How he had improved since they played at play acting together. &
 'Oh. mo-" said Hackett, "that would reflect on either my acting then or now"
 And" replied the lady. ''of course neither of you thought then that there was any room for improvement in the performance of those boy days-not so very long ago as one would judge from the youthful, handsome face of the actor who has since made his mark and has the world-so to speak-at his feet"
 In speaking of Miss Walker, the leading lady, Mir. Hackett mentioned the fact tudI Sue nus risen LniS season rom small part of few lines in his company. to that of leading lady.
 Miss Walker was in Montgomery four years ago with Mansfield. when she had a very small part. but gave evidence even in 1t, of the success she has attained
 MT. Racket spoke with great gratifca- tion of the reception he has received all through the South and surely if last nights house was sample, no better could have been given him. He said he had hoped to arrange for a presentation of ''Thc Crisis at a matinee in Mont gomery, but had not found it possible It was produced recently in Philadelphia fo- the first time.
 It was lovely to be back in the green room with two or three even temporarily Bohemian women and these two college boys whose paths have so greatly led them apart. The clouds of smoke, the dressing table with its red and its white and its black makeup stun, and the great actor in his "Don Caeser' costume. It was pleasant, hut the call for the Hast act" soon put a stop to 1t and the sweet mother bowed us out.

with glib tongues and single imprac-

menced to preach a crusade. They
succeeded in persuading the people
that they could tax themselves into
riches by destroying free trade, and
establishing tariff wall against the
productions of other nations. They
only succeeded in building up classes
and castles, and put wealth and power
in the hands of the few while the
many were only like tail to the

Finally, there came one extraordi
narily gifted with eloquence-but with
single impracticable idea for the
cure Of all public ills-and that idea
was that, two things unequal in value
anywhere in the world, could be made
equal by local legislative enactment (;
and two principles utterly antagon-
istic and irreconcilable, could be made
harmonious by the same method.
He succeeded in turning things up
side down and they are not righted
yet, while he continues to preach his
fallacies. Another lot Of hermits told
US we could eat our cake and keep it
too. So we resolved that we could
take Cuba from Spain, protect her,
let her form government, become an
independent nation, and guarantee her
in her independence. We have kept
military control ever since. She has
formed her government and now it is
more than limited that she shall come
into the Union as a state. That was
nice idea born of emotion, to set up
and maintain foreign nation
and government within six hun

the marks and peculiarities Of the fam

same competent woman guided alike
the trees and the boys into higher
plane of life. And now the similitude
between the boys and the trees on the

The lecture was a scientific discourse

in Washington. The science OF occult

may even De said 10 be in its infancy.
and DR.. De sarak has come to this coun-
try for the purpose OF aiding and di-
rccting it's unbiased development.
The lecture was delivered in. French
and interpreted by Miss agnes f. Mars

Esoteric Council. under The auspices Of
which the sce-ion was held. The fact
that his discourse was represented in
English served 70 enlirhten the audi
ence TO only a small degree for the terms
used and mode Of expression were pc
culiar to the science. and the chief aim
Of those in attendance was to look wise
and patiently wait for the demonstra-
tion scheduled to follow ,he lecture.
The mission Of this science, accord
ing 10 Or. De Sarak. is to combat ma
terialism as a baI dream which viii

Further its object Is not to undermine
any religious faith but 20 infuse new life
into that already existing. The first Of
