a PASSING STAR

The announcement that Joseph JEFF
ferson has retired from the stage, made
by himself and with such directness
that there is no doubt of its sincerity
will be received with regret by that
very large, element of the American
public which is interested in stage folk.
His disappearance from stageland will
leave a blank which none of the young
er actors of our day can fill.
Mr.. Jefferson is Something more than
a mere player. A deep student Of hui
man nature, a man Of fine feeling, an
artist, a good comrade, he has reached
over the footIights and touched the
hearts of the people. Jefferson was of
the old school of actors only In the
tioroughness Of his work The ex-
treme pains he took with his art, the
finish of his productions. marked the
artist in him, and he leaves more than
his name to the stage He has stood for
many years as the model for the
younger generation of actors.
The American public knew Mr.. JEFF
ferson as a character quite distinct
from his profession, Men who have
stood very high in the estimation of
the people have, delighted to call him
friend A lovable man. of simple tastes
and exquisite hulnor, Joseph Jefferson
has contributed much to the happiness
of his fellows by frightening their joys
and lessening .theiFi sorrows. He made
millions laugh. and the ease with hon
ers which he now proposes to enjoy
will be made the more grateful to the
old actor because it will not be grudged

been Christian there would have been
an expensive suit with the steamboat

is merely nirvana. which is pleasant
and cheap. 1t is unfortunate, of course.
that Obdur Rahman cannot take his
body with him in his flight to other
lands Ellis Island officials will have
to dispose of it in some manner, and
since obdur Rahman, according to the
Buddha doctrine, is not really dead,
this, naturally, will be an embarrass-
ment. But in spite of this one objee-
ton, it cannot be denied that nirvaraa
offers a most satisfactory solution for
the immigration problem that vexes
Ellis Island officials. The case of Obdur
Rahman will go long way toward
making Buddhism popular in this
country.

THE CASE OF oBouR RAHMAN

Few in the Oecident will deny the
superiority of Christianity over Bud
dhisln, but all who have heard of the
strange case of 0bdur Rahman must
admt4th the latter religion has it's
points of superiority. In a detention
pen on Ellis Island a turbaned Eastern
gentleman is patiently awaiting mir
vana. And Ellis Island officials are also
patiently awaiting nirvana-not for
themselves, however, but for the ttir-
baned Eastern gentleman. Nine
months ago an irresponsible steamship
company deposited 0bd,lr Rallman on
Uncle Sans inhespitable shores. But
nation pledged to the gold standard
could not consistently welcome one who
showed by his pockets that all coin
standards looked alike to him. Uncle.
Sam would have none of him. But
neither would the steamship company
have anything to do with him. so the
officials locked him up and labeled him
a Problem.
But though very low caste. Ohdur
Rahman had his pride. He had no wish
to remain where it was plain that he
wasn't wanted. Having considered the
situation in all its lights and having
consulted Budaha. he became cenvinc-
ed that there was nothing left for him
but niFvana. He explained his plan to
the officials and they, realizing that
nirvana was not an offense for which
they could be reported, agreed to the
plan. The steamship company having
refused to transport the Eastern gen
tieman's body anywhere. he has UNI
dertaken to transport his soul some

THE PASSING OF A PueiLIsT

The announcement that Mr.. Robert
Fitzsimmons has abandoned himself to
the pursuit of beauty is a painful one
for his friends, but not unexpected. For
ever since the worlds heavyweight
champion adopted the stage as a pro-
fession there has been dropped more
than one hint that Mr.. Fitzsimmons
was displaying far more concern for
his complexion than for his muscle;
that the cold cream jug instead of the
punching bag was occupying the place
of honor in his boudoir; that the di-
rectness of solar plexus blow had
been abandoned in favor of the del
sartian curve. The news therefore
that he had signed a contract with
beauty doctor who has guaranteed for
a specified sum to remove his freckles,
make his nose shapely and his hair
curl naturally is but the inevitable re-
suit of that preliminary primping.
No one will deny that Mr., Fitzsim-
mons is making a mistake. Real pu-
gilists are few and there are many,
many matinee idols In taking Faver
sham as model and assuming the
role of a fatal fascinater, Mr.. Fitz-
simmons deliberately places himself in
a class in which he does not belong
and invites comparison that must be
odious. For one has only to glance at
Mr.. Fitzsimmons' picture to be con-
WINGED that the role of matinee idol is
not for him. This is not to insinuate
that the beauty doctor is not SO ALL
powerful as the Sunday supplements
make her to appear. On the contrary!
But undoubtedly one must begin very
young in order to accomplish the best
results and the bIacksmith-pugilist ac-
tor is something on the shady side Of
thirty-five at least. And only the. best
results would answer ia his CASE ~.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons is not the first. pu-
gilist who has sunk to the level OF the
stage The beginning Of the end of the
others has been their dramatic debut
and it is in no unlsind spirit of prophe-
cy that we predict the same obscure
finish for this giant of the fistic arena
who has essayed the role of matinee
idol. He, like those others, is SEEM
ingly lacking in that pride which pre-
vents a man who has occupied high
position from descending to an in
ferior one. The adopting of the stage
by so many pngiIists must be accepted
as sign of the atrophy of a once hon
orable profession.

At St. Paul Theaters

Not an empty chair greeted James
H. Wallick's scenic border melodrama,
Queen of the Highway at the Grand
last evening. The play pleased the
Grand's patrons immensely last season,
and 1t was accordingly welcomed by
a crowded and enthusiastic house.
The cast has undergone some
changes, not, however, to the dininu-'
ton of the general effects and exciting
clifnaxes that attend the fall of the
curtain On each act. The spirited,
well-trained horses, the ravenous
wolves that would devour the help
less hero, and a naagnif cent Great
Dane dogs with a basso- profundo bark,
are there to contribute to the realism
and excitement with which the play is
repletes
While the dialogue and construction
are along the conventional lines of
melodrama, Queen of the Highway"
exploits one character that is not of
the stereotyped brand, and, of course,
is the title role. There is a certain fas-
Gina ton in the presentment of a female
highwayman-on the stage-though
doubtless she might be extremely an
noyfng in the real world. The bandit
queen this year is inpersonated by
Miss Evelyn Wood, a comedy young
woman, with expressive dark eyes, a
nerN Gus, impulsive temperament, and
graceful figure, which last named en-
dowmept Of nature appeared most con-
VlnclnSly Wien she donned the ban
dts working attire. The actress who
assumed this role last season was more
: mature Of figure, which, in view of the
fact that the queen OF the highway"
has a seYenteen-year- daughter,
made that relationship easier to
imagine. But Miss Wood acted with
Sin OH in
sion for what she lacked in voice.
Moreover, as the play explains, the
bandit queen is only thirty three years
old, and her invigorating out door life
may well have preserved her youth
full contour and complexion.
The veteran melodramatic actor.
Frank Kilday, still plays the despicahle
villain, Mat Rewley, the prime cause
of all the sin, who eventually draws
the inevitable wages thereof. When Mr..
Kilday passed across the stage in front
of the curtain in accordance with the
time honored custom of calling out
the entire cast after a particularly
thrilling climax the gallery groaned
and 'boohed" him with complimentary
unaninity Such is the efficient vii
lain's sincerest applause.
The funny Cohen, without whom
melodramas of today are scarcely com
plete, was played by Murry Living
ston, who enlivened the proceedings
without boring the audience.
Miss Helen MCGOWAN inlpersonated
Jess Miller, Western wild flower, and
dauhter of the bandit queen. The APP
plause was deafening when she buried
giittering knife, La Tosca like, in the
chest of the big Injun," Manitoba,
who wanted her to be his squaw.
Alberta Lee plays effectively Rain
bow, the haf-breed Sioux maiden, who
also loves Jess Miller's sweetheart in
her strenuous Indian way.

GERMAN VETERANS
TURN DOWN DUNN
Only Seven Old soldlers Vote
to lndorse the Republican
Candidate

Followers of Robert c. Dunn made
sorry failure of an attempt to Sc
cure an Endorsement of the Republican
gubernatorial candidate by the Ger
man American veterans at their meet
ing yesterday afternoon.
BY voting an honorary member. NOT
entitled to voting privileges. the Dunn
workers succeeded in passing their mo-
ton by vote of to 5. although two
members of the organization refused
10 declare themselves eithCs- for or
against Mr. Dunn.
Joseph Burger, president of the as
ISOLATION, attempted to engineer the
Dunn boost Several of the members
present called attention to the fact that
but fourteen veterans were in attend
ance. but Mr.. Burger refused to DELAY.
The anti-Dunn faction wanted the mat
ter referred until the other members
OF the organization could have a
chance to express themselves but Mr.
Burger wanted the Dunn Endorsement
hurried through and offered his motion.
Tells About Dunn
Calling J. c. Sudheimer TO the chair
AR. Burger took the waiting fourteen
with him on a little Journey 70 the
governor. Several of the bakers dozen
ana one Jagged behind, and Mr.. Burger
revived them by singing the praises of
congressman John Lind He regretted
the fact that Mr.. Lind was not before
the people at this election 'as all old
soldiers would vote for the. best friend
they ever hand but with Mr.. Lind i'm
the background there was still Mr..
Dunn, who never showed while he was
state auditor that he was against the
Old soldiers
Secretary Adam Bohland and Chair
man Sudheimer led the fight against
the motion to indorse Mr.. Dunn. The
two men claimed that an Endorsement
OF the candidates would put the old
soldiers in a false light. Mr.. Sudheim-
Ell contended that the veterans asso-
citation had never before Endorsed any
candidates, other than old soldiers. and
he objected to the cali for the motion.
Will Vote for johnson
In addition, Chairman Sudheimer in
sisted that an Endorsement of the Re
publican candidate would be but a
mockery, as it was we'll known that a
large number of the members of the
organization intended to cast their
votes at the coming election for John
A. Johnson.
Henry Haub followed Chairman Sud
heimer and joined with him in the eff
fort to point out that but a small pro-
portion of the membership was in at
tendance. He declared that it was not
fair to the majority and did not believe
that the body should mix in such con-
tests.
But Mr.. Burger would not be de-
MED. The bulk of the membership was
not in the han and any postponement
might find the absent members on
hand waiting for the Dunn motion, so
Mr.. Burger insisted upon vote.
Seven members voted for the Dunn
motion.
Secretary Bohland announced that
ne would not record the vote as an in
dorsement of r. c. Dunn by the Ger
man-American veterans.

THAT ENGLISH FRIENDSHIP

In recent years much stress has been
laid on the warm affection England en-
tertafns for this country but an Incl
dent took place a short time ago which,
if it does not convince Americans of
the sham basis of that friendship, at
least must prove to them that England
is willing to let slip opportunities for
proving it. Within the year an Amer
lean leased house in London. After
therein the landlord suggested that the
residence would be the better for
coat of paint. The American, recalling
the wars he had waged with American
landlords to have even so trifing a.
thing as a new lock put on. the front
door, assented with gladness and relief
and asked when the landlord was ready
to begin. But the latter smoothly ex-
planned that it was the tenants duty to
paint the outside OF the house, that it
was so expressed in the lease and that
the sooner he made arrangements the
better for his peace of mind. The ten
ant read the lease, pondered the mat
ter, and fianaliy agreed. He purchased
some red, white and blue paint and
''did" the house in stripes. 1t oecu-
pied a commanding position and none
who passed failed TO note the lhmeri-
can trimmings.
But John Bull, in the shape of the
landlord, was unwilling to go to such
lengths to demonstrate the reality of
his friendship for Miss Columbia
across the water. He expostulated
with the tenant. The latter, however
was obdurate. He explained that
while the lease provided that he must
paint the house, it did not prescribe
what colers he should employ, and
since red, white and blue represented
a combination that appealed to his pa
trietic heart, he had. naturally enough,
selected them. Regretfully, then, the
owner himself purchased paint and
had the house done over an esthetic
green.
Now that landlord may have been
sincere. of course, in his avewal that
he objected to the combination because
it was inartistic. Nevertheless he de-
nherately let slip. we think. an excel
lent opportunity to more closely ce-
lnent the entente cordiale which ex-
lists between the two nations. A house
done in, red. white and blue stripes and
occupying a commanding position in
London could not have failed to con-
vince every American tourist that
Bunker Hill WAS forgotten. Seeing it,
the American followers of the man
from Cooks would read in it an object
lesson and out of a sense Of courtesy
would fosege the delight of taking a
fall" out of Johnny Bull. But the
landlord put art before the best inter-
ests of his country, so it is useless to
speculate on what might have been the
result had &c acted differently.
