"Resurrection."

Resurrection will be presented here
at the Columbia Theater next week pre-
cisely as seen during it's four months run
at the Victoria Theater New York. AL
though Blanch Walsh, whose fame has been
established by this play. had for many
years a considerable following, she had but
en- ordinary standing in metropolitan es-
TEEN until her opportunity came with this
fOrceful DANA. The action of this drama
almost entirely concerns the central char
aCter of Maslova. and the measure in which
it appeals to the audience is governed alb
solutely by the manner in which the role is
portrayed. Such a play would work the
ruin of an incompetent artist, no matter
low popular she might be, but would estab-
lish the fame of an unknown genius in a
night. The advance sale of seatsswill be-
gin tomorrow morning

Corporation Counsel to Decide.

The corporation counsel will be asked for
an opinion as to the advisability OF amend
ing the electrical regulations so that fees
will be required for all permits for electri-
cal work. including Illuminated signs. Pre-
vious to September l, 1904, it was custom
airy for the building inspector to issue
permits without fees for all signs, whether
they were to be Illuminated by electric
lights not, while a fee of 81 was re-
quired under the regulations for light in
front of buildings In many cases these
lights were placed around signs previously
erected, practically making them illumi-
mated signs. Electrical Engineer Allen be-
lieves these cases should be uniformly

The first step in the treatment of the chronic
forms is to remove the scales and crusts and
soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura
Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and
feet will require frequently thorough soaking in
order to penetrate the thickened skin and crusts
with which these parts are often covered Dry
carefully, and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at

Theater Lights Turned Off.

A charge of disorderly conduct was pre-
ferred against a school boy named David
Hendrick. who was arrested at the New
National Theater last night for turning of
the lights. 1t was a fortunate thing for
all concerned that the lights are sometimes
extinguished during shows. for 1t gave
those in the audience a chance to imagine
that last nights AFFAIR was part of the per-
Torrance. 1t was probably for that reason
that there was not panic caused by the

lce required $50 collateral in the case but
the amount was reduced to s. In the Police
