of modern stage products. Among
the galaxy of stars. none have exceed
ed in popularity (well earned and as
well sustained) Kelley and Shannon.
each of whom has persistently aimed
at all that is elevating and artistic in
histrionism. While the stage char
acterization of the famous detective
was created by William Gillette, it is
universally agreed that Mr.. Kelley
will lend as much dignity to the part
as did Mr.. Gillette, at the same time
giving distinct individuality to its
Characterization. Indeed it is n fact
that Mr.. Kelley has never seen Mr.
Gillette's performance. In physique.
in temperament and in grace and ease.
Mr.. Kelley is eminently better fitted
to portray the great detective than
possibly any other actor. His style
is fluent and easy. The only real
difficulty that beset Mr.. Kelley was
the inevitable cigar that is necessary
in portraying the willy detective. 1t
was with the greatest difficulty that
he conquered his antipathy for the
weed and that he succeeded is but
one instance of his indomitable pluck.
1t is a foregone conclusion that Miss
Faulkner has never had a delineator
in any way the equal of Miss Effie
shannon, the companion star of Mr..
Kelley in this performance. Miss
Shannon is not only one of the fore
most actresses on the American stage
but she is at the same time one of the
most beautiful and magnetic. 1t is
safe to say that the presence of these
two famous artists in the leading
parts of the great play will form 4
combination as attractive as any seen
for many years. An important fac
tor in the general makeup" of this
organization is the entire scenic and
electrical equipment used during tho
run of the play at the Lyceum theater
in London. There is little doubt but
that helcey and Shannon in ''Sher-
lock Holmes" will prove to be one OF
the most alIuring feasts offered to
the theater-goers. Their appearance
here will take place next Thursday at
the Illinois. The sale of seats opens
Wednesday at the Illinois Smoker.

Saturday, Oct. IS, as it will be one of

To see this grand old play put on the
stage in genuine Jeffersonian style
and to witness Mr.. Jefferson's admir-
able performance of that dear, de
Iightful. lovable old vagabond RIP
is a treat that will remain fresh in
the minds of the people and be re-
ferred to with pleasant recollections
for long time to come. From sire
to son, the names of Jefferson and
rip Van Wrinkle" will live and be
classed among the best in theatricals

IF the people Of England knew how

Of surprises. Its modern buildings, with
perfect elevator service and every con-
venience, made a great impression on
me. l did not expect to find any build
ings in this country which would conf
pare with those of the old world in
architecture, but a ride through the

Professor Turner declares that the
erection Of the observatory on Mount
Hamilton sent up the value Of land in
that region considerably. Accordingly,
some enterprising gentlemen in anoth-
er neighborhcOd, desiring to test the
generality of the law that if a large
telescope were built the value of land
in the neighborhood would 60 up, an
nounced a still larger telescope and
ordered two forty inch disks Of glass
for the lens. The experiment succeed
ed admirably, and they were so well
satisfied with the rise in price which
followed on the mere announcement
$50 the story goes) that they consider
ed it unnecessary to proceed further
with the instrument. The two lenses
were produced and. not being claimed,
were left on the makers hands, the
result being that the favorable Oppor-
tunity for their purchase was brought
to Mr.. Yerkes attention. and he bought
them for the great telescope that bears
his name. This, at least is Professor
Turner's version of the story.-Argo-

WHOLESALE RESTAURANTS.
Places Where small Eating Houses
Obtain Cooked Food.

Places Where Small Eating Houses
Obtain Cooked Food.
II it were asserted without any ex-
PLANTATION that there were restaurants
IN New York which cooked large guam
titles Of food day And night and yet
which never sold a mouthful to per-
son within their doors, it would GER
tainly arouse doubt or ridicule. Yet
such is the fact There are more than
forty establishments OF this class in
New York. Their customers are not
hungry men, but restaurants, eating
booths. oyster stands and free lunch
counters. There was a time when ev-
cry place Of this sort owned and used
its own kitchen, but the increase Of
rents, the decrease in the size Of store
property and the greater economy ne
cessitated by keen competition have
brought the wholesale restaurant into
existence and made it a financial sue
cess.
Most Of these affairs are on the east
side and are managed by Germans,
Hebrews, Swiss and English, their
numbers being in the order named,
They supply roast beef, lamb, veal,
mutton, corn beef and pork, pot roasts
baked and boiled fish, fried oysters
CLAIMS, scallops, cells, fishballs and soft
shell crabs, boiled potatoes, cabbage
turnips and beets.
A few supply a larger bill Of fare
but the demand for their goods is com
paratively limited. They purchas'
good, wholesome material, employ ex
cellent cooks, own efficient deliver.
wagons ana run affairs upon goo
business basis.
When you pass an oyster stand ant
see nicely fried oysters and soft shel
crabs neatly piled upon a platter an
decorated with little sprigs Of parsley
twice out Of three times you look q
the wares of these establishments. III
tiny restaurants in the business di:
tricts. and especially those which cate
, to clerks and workingmen depend a
Il most entirely upon the wholesale re-
taurants for their food. Oddly enOug
they can sell their cooked food to Il
4 retail restaurants for less than whit

The London Lancet the other day -e-
printed a criticism of n medical lecture
given in 1923 upon the power Of the di-

dued with vitality" q category which
includes the prophet Jonah. How the
prophet passed his time in the cavity

lance" we are told, but the main argu-
ment may be thus stated. When JO-

he was not alive, the stomach would
have had the same power over him as
over any other inanim9te substance

he was not digested he was alive wheI

out must have continued to live

How 1t Affected Model, the Artist
and "a NobIeman.
A poor Bohemian gypsy girl Of re
markable beauty was employed by a
German artist to sit for one Of his
studies" In his studio she saw an
unfinished painting of the erucifxion
and asked him who that wicked man"
was and what he had done to deserve
such terrible punishment.
The artist smiled ut her ignorance |
and told her that the man nailed to the
cross was not wicked, but good above
all good men in the world.
From that time her interest in the
story Of the cross never ceased. She
was utterly untaught, and it was by
her questions-rather grudgingly an
