BERLIN, Oct. 24.-The affair Of the
celebrated actress, Agnes Sorma, and
the leading German actor, Harry Wal
den, has been occupying the attention
of the Berlin public for some time past.
First it was announced that Agnes
Sorma's husband, Count Minotti, had
filed a petition for divorce, naming
Harry Walden as correspondent, and
that the actress had fed to some re-
tired spot in the country to hide her
self till the worst part of the scandal
was over.
No long afterwards Harry Walden
suddenly disappeared from Berlin, leiS
ing the theater without warning the
management, Just before his call to &c
on the stage as Prince Karl Heinz in
"Oid Heidelberg" The result was that
the performance had to be abandoned
and the public sent home bitterly dis
appointed.
Many reports were in circulation re
garding Walden's disappearance, but il

Edwards Davis Tells Why He
Left the Pulpit for Mask

On Wednesday The Press told
something of the pulpit career of the
Rev. Edwards Davis, who has turned
actor, and who will be seen here as
the hero in '"The Dairy Farm" which
opens at the Auditorium Sunday eve
ming
The article mentioned has aroused
considerable interest in the young
thespian, and his own statement re-
garding his change from the pulpit to
the stage will doubtless be enjoyed.
Davis has written the following
statement for The Press:
1T is never too late to change pro-
fessions If We change a bad one for
good one. or, if bad in a good one
we change to become better in bad
one. A poet might we'll change his
vocation to become a piowman If so
late in life he should find out that
he could lay a deeper furrow than a
thought. l have exchanged a cross
for a mask. but there may be more
truth behind a mask which appears
| to be naught but a sham, than behind
| a face which seems to be aglow with
glory, when, if the truth were known.
| it Is but a calcium light effect of
godliness. / deem it better to be true
| unto a sham than to sham truth
| better to be true unto a mask than
to be untrue to cross.
Il had received my collegiate de-
| gree before l was 30 and found my
self, before 1 had reached my major
| ity, preaching. With my increasing
| maturity l came to realize that my
| very characteristics which would tend
to provoke antagonism so long as
| remained in the pulpit-the very
| methods which would make me from
an orthodox standpoint a failure in
| the ministry would serve to secure
a success upon the stage.
| fortunately for my present pro-
| fessional career 1 had left my former
profession before l was %, and in
| the past five years / have at least
| passed the period of apprenticeship
| The stage is not a devils workshop
| but a Gods playhouse-nay not a
| playhouse, but a place of toll of tri-
| umph and of tears. Some men go to
| the stage with Interior motive. some
| men go to 1t Tor arts sake alone
some men go to it for sheer reason
| of real conviction-a moral hope tC

PLAY Nov for Prince OF pipsen.

The Spokane theater was packed to
the roof last night to witness the
perennial predicaments of the Spoopju
court and the mirthful absurdities of
King Dodo. who is not only sole king
of the DOdos, but the supreme mon
arch OF Didoes as well. The singing
of the principals was; on the whole,
of a meritorius order. The chorus
was scarcely as strong as was ex-
pected, but the costuming and staging
of the piece have been improved since
it was last here. and the fun-provok-
ing features were as much in evil
dence as ever.

added the major amount to the sum

she omitted the attempt at a mas
