week Is "A Stranger In a Strange Land ="
which had a phenomenal run at the Man

1t Is the policy of the mana cement OF the
Bljou company to play say dozen pieces
year, each with new specialities, new
costuming and new scenery. The produc-
ton of "A Stranger In Strange Land" by
the Bijou company Is expected to be, If any
thing, more diverting than was the original
production because of the music which has
been put into 1t. making 1t a musical comedy
with all the humor of the original.
This 'musicaliZing" of comedy has never
before been attempted on the American

feature of the show. The regular matinees

oddly significant title, The Darling Of the

acts and twelve scenes; and that Mr.. Bel

surmised from the facts that he Is under

THE Darling Of the Gods he did In
"Du Barry" believing the public will ap-
preciate his ambition to give them the best
in entertainment well the best in
art.
The basic element Of The Darling Of the
Gods" Is dramatic. 1t concerns the sa-
mural, or crossword men, against whom the
Emperor Of Japan issued the historic edfct
of 1871, commanding them to give up their
swords. Forty Of the samurai. to whom
the surrender Of their swords meant the
surrender Of honor, defled the decree. Out

to ten, and these brave fellows, led by
Prince Kara, stood alone for the old-time
honor and dignity of Japan. Enough is here
suggested. however to show that the theme
of THE Darling of the Gods possesses
dramatic values which Belasco would hardly
be expected to miss. At all events, he may
be relied upon to give Miss Bates the OPP
portunity Of a lifetime. and, with success
to work for. next Wednesday he and his
worthy star will. it is hoped, give Wash
ington another OF those memorable first
nights for which Belasco Is famous.

A Good Worker.

The Farmers Advocate, of Charles
town, says:
"There is an earnest movement
among the people of Clarke county
to have bridges erected over the
Shenandoah River at Berry's and
Castleman's Ferry. Recently, large
mass meeting of the voters was held
at Berryville and resolutions were
passed declaring it the wish Of citi-
zens to build bridges at these points.
The question will be submitted later
to the voters for their authority for
the county to issue bonds to pay for
the bridges, and the project is looked
upon favorably by such large
number of voters, that it is thought
there will be no doubt abont its car
rying. Mr.. Brice w. Catlett, of
near Wildwood, former resident of
Berkeley Springs, Morgan county,
West Virginia, is taking an active
part in the bridge movement, and
feels almost confident of its success.
Mr. Catlett was a resident of this
State for a number of years before
moving to Virginia. He was elected
to the State Senate from this district.
and served the people faithfully, max.
ing a good record. He introduced
number of bills and resolutions, all
of which were in the interests of the
farmers and laboring men. His
many friends regretted to see him
leave the State, as he was progressive
and public spirited. 1t is only in
keeping with nature to find him
working for the bridges in his new
home The people of Clarke will find
in him faithful worker, and
citizen who will always be glad to
lend his aid to any improvement for
the benefit of the people.
I'VE publish the above clipping
from our contemporary with pleasure.
Mr. Catlett has been one of the best
workers in the bridge movement"

What Virginia Needs.

Virginia needs an awakening i'm
pulse. She needs a readjustment OF
the point of view. She needs an
abiding sense of the necessity of
hustle and a clearer conception of the
revolutionary forces that have come
to move the business and industrial
world-forces that the Common.
wealth can no more afford to ignore
than the citizen.
Traditions are fine in their wav.
but alone they, do not make mighty
states or masterful men. In any
event there is no necessity to sacrifice
traditions. There is a necessity to
turn attention in practical, business,
like manner to the things that will
put the state abreast with the young.
er and more progressive Common
wealths.
a fight for the senatorship attracts
more attention in Virginia than a
movement for good schools, good
roads, and the proper advertisement
or the state resources among investors
and home seekers. The fields of the
state may grow up in weeds, but the
politicians will not on that account
forego an hOnr of gossip in the hotel
lobbies of Richmond. And when he
home seekers ask the commissi ner
what the state is doing in the way of
agriculture, that Official can give
nothing more than the Illuminating
answer that it grows this, that or the
other crop. Has not the material
been sacrificed for the immaterial
about long enough?-Norfolk Virgin.
