AT THE THEATERS
etropoIItan-DeWoIf Hopper In "Wanc

That classic poltroon of musical comedy,
the regent of Siam, lives again. Once
more, uctuously polysyllabic and grandi-
osely sesquipedalian, he cringes inpecu-
niously before the Cambodian ENJOYS and
overWhelms his elephant-kee with or
nate objurgations. Once more his sylphine
saltations and sartorial effronteries delight
the eye, while his shafts of humor barbed
with satire and feathered with the long,
est words in a peculiarly rich and extern
sive vocabulary, go Winging 1nerrant1y to
their mark. ~
In short, DeWolf Hopper has revived

demonstrate that death had never super
vened and that it was merely case of
suspended animation. Clever, tuneful and
interesting as is the Goodwin Morse mu-
steal comedy of dozen years ago, its
revival could never have been successfully
accomplished without the inimitablo
Hopper, who has so identified himself
with the role of the regent as to be quite
indispensable. Long ago it was pointed
out that it was the story that kept up the
interest in 'Wang"; long ago it became
evident that the jingling music in which
the lyrics were set was also largely re-
sponsible for its popularity; long ago it
was recognized that the humor of the
situations and the wit Of the dialogue
q
But over and above all looms the unique
figure of Hopper His variation on the
| eternal comic opera theme of the royal
| ruler in trouble strikes note of petulant
protest quite unlike any heard before or
since. And then, he has a singing voice
| SO good that he might have attained de-
| gree Of success in the vocal art, if bur-
lesque had not claimed him for her own
This gift combined with native verbal
volubility, enables him to sing a topical
song as few of his. colleagues can.
| Mr.. Hopper, never forgetful of effective
contrasts, has associated with him as
Mataya the dainty little Marguerite Clark
who comes just above his knee and makes
q pocket; prince of cherubic boyishness
Miss Clark unfortunately is not a borr
songstress, but one quite forgets that ir
the light Of her dazzling smile and hel
merry grace. Another contrast is thai
between the elongated comedian an6
| pudgyt little Frank Casey as the childlike
and timorOus keeper Of the sacred ele
plant, target for Wang's imperious male
/ dictions. Ada Deaves as the coy ant
/ multi-married widow demonstrates anew
her talent for dainty burlesque. Frank H
Belcher evinces fair appreciation of thu
role of the bibulous colonel, while. hi!
rich barytone is effectively utilized in solt
and ensemble. Sabry D'OrselI, save fo
one raucous high note, sings very prettily
and is an altogether coquettish Marie.
The chorus is strong voiced and kalei
doscopic of costume. It's work at frs
seemed a bit ragged, but it soon settled
down into steadiness and full-throatet
harmony. The production is we'll mounted
and the picture, ever changing, is Away
an alluring one. Long live '.Wang!''

Mr.. Dunn's managers are trying to
make him a test of republieanism
However, those who refuse to accept
that test have not abandoned theil

the end Of the world. There are other

CHARLES WAGNER COMING
The Apostle Of 'The Simple Life'' to
Speak Here.

The visit Of Rev. Charles Wagner of
Paris to America on a lecture tour has
been heralded as one of the most i'm
portant events of the year. An unex-
pected pleasure is in store for Mime
apolis, for it has been announced that
the Teachers club has succeeded in get
ting one of his much;;sought dates, The
author Of the remarkable books, "The
Simple Life' and "The Better Way
will speak: to a Minneapolis audience
Oct. 81 at First Baptist church. This
will not be. given in. the regular club
course. as that was fully arranged be-
fore Mr.. Wagner was secured.
Mr.. Wagner is the most eminent rep
resentatiye Of the French evangelical
have peculiar interest for all Prot
estants. His American tour was sug-
gested by John Wanamaker, who told
him that the Americans needed his mes
sage of simplicity. Believing this to
be divine call that should be needed,
he began a year ago the study of Eng
lish as preparation for his visit.
At his first meeting in Philadelphia
in September, 900 persons applied for
admission.

to us in this connection, as it has sew
eral times since the republican conven-
tion, is whether the -, .sblicans Of the
state are really going to make the re-
publican party responsible for Mr..
Dunn $ record by indorsing him at the
polls. Up to date it is Mr.. Dunn's rec
ord. After the sth of November it will
continue to be his record repudiated
by an intelligent and discriminating
vote, or it will become the record Of
the republican party of Minnesota, and
something for which it will be obliged
to stand in the future. It is up to the
republican voter and it is up to him
squarely and without chance for eva
sion.

FAVORS SEGREGATION
Separate Reform Schools for Girls Advo.
Gated by jacobson.

Chairman jacobson Of the state board
Of control is heartily in favor Of a COM
plete separation Of the sexes in the
state training school, as advocated by
the State Federation of Women s clubs.
At present the boys and girls in the
Red Wing school meet at chapel, and
form acquaintance that are continued
after they leave school, usually with
evil results.
Mr.. jacobson. goes farther, and would
have three different institutions for
the girls, in order to remove the better
ones from the communicating influence
Of older girls more schooled in vice.
He would have one institution for the
girls who have no immoral record, and
others who have not strayed far enough
from the right path to be active infu-
ences for evil. Another institution
should take care Of the younger girls
between eight and fourteen, and a
third home or school would be devoted
to the worst cases, fourteen years old
and over. The girls of this last class
are very hard to reclaim, and their in
fuence on the others is always detri-
mental X.

The Annual Slaughter of the limo

Each years report Of the interstate
commerce commission on the subject Of
railway accidents calls forth an ex-
preston of amazement at the number
Of accidents and the vast number of
travellers, trainmen and others yearly
killed and injured: 1t has taken ten
days Of fighting in Manchuria between
armies equipped with the best death
dealing machinery to kill and wound
as many people as the American rail
ways annually put on the casualty list.
The world is horror-stricken at the
loss of human life and the human suf-
fering in Manchuria, but 50 calloused
have we become by our familiarity
with railway accidents that, at any dis
lance from us, they no longer arouse
our horror or even disturb our equa-
nimity.
If it were not for this Indifference
there would be 50 much public indigna-
ton and excitement after each mex
cusable railway accident that it would
be reasonably certain that there would
| be very many less accidents in the
future. = 80" - ''
The Washington, correspondent of the
Boston Transcript has discussed al
length the cause Of railway accidents
in America, for it is only in the United
donable catastrophes. In other coun
tries railway accidents are accidents
here they are too often the natura
consequences Of carelessness. This cor
respondent is inclined to lay a large
part of the blame to the failure of the
trainmen to obey orders.
Back of this failure there is, h
thinks, a national weakness. Ameri
cans are lacking in, the discipline Of
obedience;5 our young people are no
trained to obey orders literally; they
apply them with a measure of persona
Interpretation. This writer attribute
our railway accidents largely to tn,
same national qualities which max,
this pre-eminently, among the civilized
countries, the land of crimes of vic
lence. In England last year not on
passenger was killed by railway. Il
the same country there were not NOR
than dozen murders in the year. Il
this country there were probably tw
> thousand murders. The hand of tn
: law is not so heavy here as there; re
spect for law and order is not pre-emi
nent among us. Cs>5'--E >'' =
If fewer .murderers were acquitte
in the United States and murder wer
generally followed by a hanging with
in the course of month OF two, Their
would be an astonishing decrease in tn
number of murders. In the same way
: if more trainmen who. are responsible
for accidents, with liberal proportio
of train dispatchers, superintendent
, managers and directors were. to b
!, given extended periods Of enforced res
in prison, there would be remarkabl

Our railway managers are foreve

at minimum cost. It would be NJ
bier boast to show that they had beate
the rest of the world in transportin
