Author of "The clsnsman."

1 Perhaps the most interesting figure in American literary life is Thomas Dixon, Jr., author of "rhe Clansman'' and The Leopard's Spots" and of the play based upon these two successful novels, which will be seen at the Jefferson Monday and Tuesday nights with matinee Tuesday. Lawyer, legislator, preacher, lecturer. author, dramatist--his life has indeed been many-sded. He was once called a 'live-wire' and the appelaton is most fit.
 Thomas Dixon, Jr., was born in Cleve- land county, North Carolina. January Il, 1864. A descendent of sturdy Scotch Covenanters, whose best tradition of lib- erty and loyalty were maintained by the Ku Klux Klan during the days of re- construction, he has been no less brave in days of peace than were his ancestors in times of peril and of strife. Only Il man of heroic mould would dare to write a book like The Clansman.'
 MT. Dixon spent four years at Wake Forest college, North Carolina, where he was graduated with highest honors. After post graduate course of one year at

the editorial comments have continued weeks after the appearance of the play
 At the premiere in Norfolk the news paper devoted more space more promi- nentiy displayed, to eThe Clansman'' than to any news event of the day. This however, might be attributed to the fact that it was the opening performance Richmond immediately quadrupled the space, also printing the criticisms on the first page. One of the papers there ran the criticisms in three sections of about two columns each on different days, with an afterpiece the day after the last ap- pearance. Not content with this, the editor-in-chief wrote a two-column edi- torial, and a week later a sharter edi- tofiai. The other Richmond papers also devoted much editorial space to the same subject. All through Virginia and North Carolina the same thing happened. Be- sides this, the wonderful business done in each town was telegraphed by cores pondents all over each state, individuals wrote communications to the newspapers, and prominent citizens were interviewed at length as to their opinion of the play. In Raleigh, North Carolina, Governor Robert B. Glenn prepared a long inter- view for one of the morning papers strongly commenting the play, and ad- vising every young man and woman in the south to see it.
 This cloudburst of criticism is the most remarkable in the theatrical history of the south, and 1t will probably be fol- lowed by q northeaster that will sweep over the entire country. Equally remark able has been the size of the audiences. In every city and at every performance standing room has been at a premium, and hundreds of people have been turned away The enthusiasm of the audiences breaks all bounds and reminds one of a mighty is meeting of the people. It is safe to say that such scenes have never been witnessed in a theatre since the first production of Uncle Toms Cabin"
 Only play of tremendous force and power could produce such results. Only a play that is different from every other play one that blazes new pathway

and deals with momentous problems and truths, could so arouse a people.
 "The Geisha."
 At the Jefferson theatre next Wednes- day matinee and night music lovers are to be treated to real comic opera, one that has held its own wherever produced and apparently improves with age It's run of over 1000 performances in Lon don and over 200 times in New York has given it prestige and precedence over the majority of musical offerings in the past decade. When MT. Owen Hall and his co-workers set out to write "The Geisha' they were apparently treading on dangerous ground as "'rhe Mikado' introduced things Japanese for stage pur- poses that set the standard high. Char acterze comparisons as you will, they are certain to be made and when one of the greatest successes of the generation Is to be made the danger is formidable but as the authors of frhe Geisha" have conquered in London and in New York so they have conquered wherever "The Geisha" has been presented. The au- thors in their work probably overlooked the danger but it succeeded. While their production of ''The Geisha" suggests the Gilbert and Sullivan work in a general style. the suggestion Is at no time un- pleasant as there is marked distinction between the two.
 The first Japanese opera was satire; The Geisha' is a simple story a pretty story with simple pretty music The name, pronounced as everybody by this time probably knows, "The Gaysha" is that given to a young woman who in Japanese tea houses entertains customers by singing and dancing. N4,h the most beautiful of these, 70 Mimosa san young naval officer irts delightfully."- de- spite the fact that he Is engaged to Miss Molly Seamore one of the party-of tour ists in the land of the chrysanthemums The pretty Geisha charms have won the attentions of the Marquis Imari, governor of the prNince, and he becomes her sui tor. Her refusal eXasperates him, and to compass his desires he sells the tea house and it's Geshas at auction. but a young Englishman out-bids him for the chief Gesha and he buys instead Miss Molly Seamore. who to pay back her lover for his iirtations. has disguised her self as a Japanese Geisha her escapade place her in a predieament and through the exertions of her friends. she narrowly escapes becoming Mrs. Marquis
 This little story Is told with much cleverness and chic. The picturesque scenery of the two acts serves as ex- cellent background for the Japanese cos tunes. naval uniforms and European dresses. The dialogue Is bright and in- terspersed with witty lines and the inter est is more than preserved all during the action of the piece. The lyrics are grace fully written and some of them would be credit to MT. Gilbert himself, while the music is light but in no wise of the cheap order It is all nlusicanly. Ther' are no lahored attempts at characteristic effects. but on the other hand the aud for tc ad tp cfr ait,r vyifl the theme

John Hopkins University, Baltimore, he went to New York, where he spent an other year studying dramatic art and oratory. Returning to North Carolina he became interested in politics, and at twenty years of age, before he could vote, he was elected a member of the North Carolina legislature. He read law and was admitted to the bar but soon became persuaded that it was his duty to preach the Gospel After filling pasto- rates of two of the largest cities in his native state, when oly 2S years of age, he received a call from one of the oldest churches in Boston. His fame as a preacher rapidly spread, and after he moved to New York his congregations increased so in numbers that he found 1t necessary to preach in the mammoth Academy of Music. There he founded the Peoples Church.
 Mir Dixon was the pioneer in New York in bringing to bear the full moral force of the pulpit on burning puoiic questions.
 He next enlarged his field of usefulness by going on the lecture platform where he immediately attained the foremost rank He was still speaking wider field and the writing of his successful novels followed Turning dramatist was another step in the same direction
 MT. Dixon's present home Elmington, IS one or the most Deduillul tSthtSS III Virginia It occupies a commanding posi- tion on North River in Gloucester county. Though now comprising 800 acres it was originally a crown grant of 2ooO acres. The house is beautifully situated on peninsula which is almost entirely sur rounded by water The house is mas sive brick structure of colonial style, with a noble white pillar porch which commands charming view. MT. Dixon does most of his writing in an old house on the other side of the creek.
 So great is the authors interest in the dramatic presentation of The Clans man. that he has decided to accompany the company throughout the southern tour.
 In recent interview MT. Dixon says that he determined to be writer when he was a mere boy. Tt has really been my life ambition" said he "I had the privilege of starting the student paper at my college in North Carolina, and the first story I wrote was singularly enough a Ku Klux story. l determined not to write a novel until I was 40 years old. believe that man who writes should know life. l did not, however, quite i've up to my determination for wrote The Leopard's Spots when l was 36.

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP.

Among the special features to be pre- sented by Archie l.. Shepard in his coming engagement in this city will be the nov ing picture novelty entitled "The Dog Hero,' which shows the stealing of child and it's final rescue brought about by the untiring efforts of Scotch collie dog. The picture vividly portrays the entire story.
 A dramatic treat of the local theatrical season will be the appearance in this city of Miss Effie Ellsler in the little role of Jules Murry's revival of Hazel Kirke," the play that has made millions of people better men and women and has created for Fife Ellser warm place in the hearts of men. women and chil- dren throughout the country.
 Wells band Is credited with having made a remarkable impression as a full concert band ever since the opening of it's present tour on October 5 in St. Louis. Its measure of success, in an artistic sense, has seldom, if ever, been equalled in so brief a period. The famous organ ization is to come to the Jefferson the- atre soon, when programme of unusual
 worth will be rendered.

evening will be "A Royal Lover," TO- mantle drama of great heart interest dealing with the fascinating love story of Mariana" the street dancer of Madrid and Don Caesar de Bazan."
 Among other plays that will be featured during the engagement will be found 'Mone Cristo," and Shakespeares great tragedies of "Othello' and Richard III" :" with a change of bill at every perfor- nance.
 MT. Ryan will be seen as "Othello' on Tuesday night, and as ''Iago" in the same play on Thursday afternoon.
 All of the productions are special. It requires two sixty-foot baggage cars to transport the scenery alone, together with the costumes, electrical effects, etc.

accessories used in the original Augustin Daly production at Daly's theatre, New York, are carried by the company which embraces over fifty working people behind the foot lights. Miss Laura Willard, in the role of 70 Mimosa San," has been pronounced by the leading critics as the ideal in this dainty role. The visit of "The Geisha' should prove one of the events of the season with music lovers.
 Harry Beresford.
 Harry Beresford will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Saturday dati- nee and night. The dramatic critics char acterize this young actor by such flatter- ing terms as the following: "A true artist" that strang anomaly, funny comedian:" who commands your respect at the same time that he wins your heart;" "in all his work there is the beau- tifu naturalness of an artist etc. Lovers of comedy will have an oppor- tunity to judge for themselves whether the critics have been hypnotized. How ever, this may be, the play in which he is now appearing, "The Woman Hater." seems to be peculiarly fitted for the talent and personality of this come dian. Those who have already seen it speak of the play as being "excruciating- ly funny" The manager, J. J.

The young actor and tragedan, Daniel Ryan, in a series of elaborate scenic pro- auctions, will open weeks engagement at the Bijou theatre tomorrow evening. The character of the plays to be pre- sented is a high order, and far above that offered by the average companies playing at popular prices, no expense hav-
 ing been spared to make them equal in costuming, electrical effects, scenic en- vironment, and artistic portrayal, to any of the high class attractions familiar to the people of this city.

nave the hearty cooperation OF the

But the business men OF Billings,
taking broad view of everything, are

that purpose. AS an earnest of this
at a recent meeting of the commercial
committee of the Billings club, in

tons were unanimously adopted:
Whereas. We the commercial COM
mittee of the Billings club believe that
the development and advancement OF
the state as an industrial empire would
be best served by the organization OF
state association to be known as
the Montana Commercial association,
said association to be made up of the
various commercial organizations
known as boards of trade, chambers

state association the different bodies
could cooperate in the work and cost
of advertising the entire state to the
best advantage. unite in securing rail-

change ideas, and otherwise unite IN

Whereas, Billings has. through the
aggressive efforts of it's organized in
terests been highly successful in this
