The old saying, Genius is born, not made applies most significantly to the career of the Three Tittell Sisters, who have become quite prominent in the the atrical world-Mrs Brune, the elder of the sisters, made a hit here and else where last season in Norma" Esther Tittell has scored success this season in ''vivian's Papa" in New York, and Charlotte Tittell has made a triumph in her rendition of the character of Char lotte Durand, in George w. Cables south ern romance, '"rhe Cavalier"
 Charlotte Tittell is one of the best known leading women of the country, having been with E. H. Sothern, in Lord Chum- ley" and the Highest Bidder" and while still under the management of Frohman, she succeeded Georgia Cayvan, in "The Charity Ball" and afterwards created the part of Princess Flavia, in The Prisoner of zenda.''
 Miss Tittell, who now succeeds Julia Marlowe in 'The Cavalier" is an ac- tress of undoubted ability. Her long ser- vice with the Lyceum Theater company. New York city, in addition to her own personality, prompted Miss Marlowe to select her in preference to large num- Der of applicants for the exaltng role of Charlotte Durahd. The new play is a novel love story of wartime. In the first act the heroine is married, only to dis cover that her husband Is traitor to the south, their mutual cause. She scorns him, while refusing to betray him. and from then on she devotes herself to atoning for his misdeeds. She is like comrade in the ranks, like an angel be- side the wounded in the field, and for perious mission, a southern general says, She's the bravest cavalier we've got"

 "The Spenders," William IT Crane's new play. is an adaptation of H. L. Will sons novel, breezy and entertaining story that won favor through its charac- ter sketches and the subtle way it tir- ized New York society

MISS TITTELL DIRECTS
 HER STAGE PRODUCTIONS

Few people outside those who are di- rectly interested in the theatrical pro- ductions are eognlzant of the hundred and one responsibilities involved upon a cap able stage director or producer. It is impossible here to give but a eursory resume of what stage director really is
 First of all, do not confuse the stage director with the stage manager for they are two distinctly different individuals; the former creates, while the later only initiates; the one invents business situa- tons, climaxes, etc., while the other merely superintends.
 Stage direction is a business profess sion. or art if you care to call it so by itself. it requires a certain inborn fitness, a constructive faculty, and vivid imag- ination that cannot be acquired by ex. perience. Stage directors are born. mol made, their creative genius and intuitiv, perceptions must come spontaneously ant naturally. The character and disposition of a stage director always indelibl, stamps an ear-mark. upon his work-th more realistic and original the man. tn, more realistic and original Is his stag, business; these men are rare and thos, who make this their exclusive study car be counted upon the fingers of the on, hand, while the recognized actor-direc tors can be safely numbered upon the other. Many actors direct their own comranies in the business of their own individual play, but the men who can pick up q manuscript and insert the business to the satisfaction of the press and public are very rare indeed, but more so are the

 Softly humming a familiar air. the farmers daughter defty raised the old hen from the nest and removed the broken corncobs and the lump of coal upon which the faithful creature had been sitting persstently but uselessly for two or three weeks and placed in their stead a dozen real eggs.
 With an indignant squawk the old hen flew away.

actresses who are Intellectually, artistic ally, and practically capable of directing their own productions
 Among the few in America Charlotte Tittell who comes 10 the Jefferson next Tuesday evening at the head of the com pany presenting George w, Cables The Cavalier" is conceded to be one of the very best, for she is a woman who has been schooled in the profession from the age of and has made a study of all it's intricate branches.
 To participate in a rehearsal presided over by Miss Tittell is like listening to some professor expatlatIng to bis class the ntrcacies of some mathematical problem. She Is thoroughly versed in all the departments of the stage, from the "Grdiron" to the "Tormentor' and from the manipulating of a star trap" to the sending of a telegraph message on a real 1 instrument
 She is thorough student of detail and can give a reason for every move made during the performance, her prompt-boolS lis like the paychart of chess game. for every position during the progress
 of the play is deftly fitted and balanced by another move, thus the ensemble work is almost faultess.
 Miss Tittell has staged several big pro- auctions during her career-her latest be- l ing '"rhe Cavalier in which she plays the leading role
 l She is fine musician, very able ln- gulst and good all-round athlete. golfer. swimmer, horsewoman, etc, and yet one l Of the most modest and unassuming l women upon the stage She is a sister to Ethel Tittell of the Frohman forces and Mrs. Brune who starred under Wall ! lace Munros management last season.

UNIONS HAVE CowTO STAY

College President who Defends
the Organization of Labor.
In an address before the New Eng.
land Society Of Scranton. Pa, Rev. DR..
w. A. Stryker, president Of Halnilio ON
college, said:
Unions of labor have come to stay.
Combination and community OF inter
est are their inherent right also. They
are fact and n factor They must be
recognized. They are recognized even
in denying them recognition.
Fingers I'm ones ears is an ultimatum
TINT two can play ut. To hide under
the bedclothes may comfort the child,
but will not stop the thunderstorm.
Even to criminal the law does not
deny the right to choose his own attor-
ney. The credentials Of any Spokesman
are from those who send him, not from
those TO whom he is sent. The principal
accredits his agent.
Organized capital speaks through its
delegate. / abor has Tie same right. II
n given envoy is difficult. austere or of
fensive, SO much the worse for those
who commission him. Either party may
request n different delegate, but TO pre-
scribe how he shall be chosen or to re.
fuse all is TO break OFF diplomatic re!a-
lions. The right not TO deal through self
sent meddlers does not modify the duty
TO recognize those who are properly in
dOrscd. Only faulty challenges tho
right OF men TO act and to speak col
lectively and by whom they Will. oh,
viously 100000 workmen cannot state
their cause separately TO ten executive
boards. The question, gentlemen. as to
MIR. Baer, or as TO Mr.. Mitchell, is not
whether he is in the employ Of those to
whom he goes. but whether he is nu
thorized by those from whom he comes
The contention OF the operators that
they may dictate just how their men
shall approach them cannot hold its
ground before American common sense
and fair play. 1t will fall, it falls al
ready, for that public which does not
bubble knows that practically the
United Mine Workers as such and in
the person OF John Mitchell are before
the commission and the country. The
arbitrary precept issues so far only in
mutual eXasperations and furnishes the
prolific opportunities OF marplots. Any
genuine effort TO agree must listen to
all parties claiming TO be such.
AS to the alleged nonresponsibillty Of
the miners because they are not incOr-
porated, remember that since they can.
not be enjoined they cannot enjoin. II
is, even further remember, that their
adhesion to their word given is their
whole capital. They know that the
country watches them in this to see u
they be men. Under immense tempta-
ton they have this summer past kept
their word. 1t Is much. 1t Is enough.
Incorporation may be a wise device, but
1t Is not the first and great command
ment
AS to compulsory arbitration" who
wants It? 1t is a addiction IN terms
The essence OF arbitration is voluntary
consent to take advice. If its obIteI
dicta are amicably accepted, 1t is excel
lent. If 1t can compel, it is but n new
court, and we are where we started
Agreement and litigation are two oppo
site ways. IF arbitration could be com
pulsory, 1t would be superhueus.
