''De Lancey" Well Present

a large audience. the feature Of which

minstrels a hearty and appreciative re-
ception at the Columbia Theater last

This production ranks ~ the top Of the

ing's entertainment tnau he did last

well-known black-face comedians as

COMEDY REIGNS At
BELASCO THEATER
Jeff. de Angels Makes
GOOD in "Fantana."

Few musical comedies have served
their mission to amuse to a greater ex-
tent than "Fantana," in which Jeffer-
son de Angels returned to Washington
last night at the Belasco Theater
Bright music, a book well calculated to
demonstrate the stars comedy talents
and a supporting company of merit
were few OF the features which en-
tertaineu the large auuISnCe.
De Angels is 50 wei known in Wash
lngtOn Jndt a dissertation on ms cdpa-
blntieS would prove hardly more than
comedy enough in his general makeup
10 keep his audience laughing through
out the piece, and although 'Fantana
has no more plot than the average mu-
steal comedy, II is highly amusing and
entertaining The star happily
cast. and was also provided with Il
series of songs. Among these was the
familiar ''rammdny into which Mr..
De Angels inJerpOlated a number OF
verses dealing with life insurance and
current political topics.
Coming close behind De Angels In
popular favor was dainty little Toby
Claude. This delightful little comedienne
slipped on the stage behind trunk
three times as big as herself. and from
that time until the final curtain she
made things lively for everybody.
Julia SandersOn has been heralded as
a beauty, and the press notices have
not gone far wrong but the little affec-
tations she assumes do much toward
detracting from this charm Gertrude
MillingtOn does a small part well, and
Frank Rushworth. Hubert Wilke, Os-
borne Searle, and Philip Leigh con-
tribute much to the comedy's success.

Burton Holmes Travelogues.

The fourth of a series of "travelogues"
was given TO a large audience yesterday
afternoon by Burton Holmes, at the
Columbia Theater. The subject was
Eastern Switzerland, the lecture be-
ing profusely illustrated by colored
views OF the cities of ST. Moritz. Lu-
cerne. and the country of William Tell.
The views of ST. Moritz deserve men
tion, as showing the large number of
St. Regis-like skyscraper hotels which
have been erected OF late years to sup
ply the increasing tourist demand. Re
ferring to these hotels. Mr.. Holmes said
that If they were destroying the beauty
of Switzerland ii was due 10 the travel
ers who demand better accommodation
and vet complaiH of the loss OF natural
beauty when the hotels have been built
TO satisfy them.
Long reaches Of glacier. cTevasse. and
torrent were secured for these lectures

running over an Alpine railroad One

of the Wetterhorn. and gives the spec
tator a vivid insight into the methods

ACADEMY. .
Thomas E. Shea as Matthias in "The
Bells"


Thomas h. Shea's Interpretation of
the role of Matthias, in The Bells, -
presented at the AcaGemy of Music last
evening, was far superior TO the class
OF acting which the playgoer ordinarily
expects TO see at a popular price the
ater. What was still more surprising,
however, was the really commendablc
work Of several members of the COM
pany with which Nixon & Zimmerman
have surrounded Mr. Shea.
Mr.. Shea's portrayal Of the con-
science-stricken Matthias was both fin
lshed and appealing. His version OF
The Bells differs somewhat from the
standard Instead of making the sole
lnst1gation for the murder the desire
Tor wealth, he adds the necessity of saw
ing the lives of his wife and child from
starvation This added motivation en-
Iarges the stature of the haunted
matthias, and while It gives an extenu-
atinS circumstance for the crime, II
also gives one the idea that the man
who would naturally shrink from muir
der would therefore feel the pangs OF
conscience 10 an even greater degree
than the man with a criminal heart.

The Virginia-C Carolina Chemical

because they give the plant a
quick and vigorous growth at the
start.
Because they supply to the soil
just that which has been taken from
it by years of cropping.
because they mature tobacco ear
lier. and it can be cut before frost.
Because your tobacco will cure
brighter in warm weather than in
cold.
Because it requires less cultiva-
ton to make a crop, and you can
work it earlier.
because the increase of the sec
ond crop will more than pay the cost
of the fertilizer on the first crop.
because the increase of grass Or
clover (Which will be the third crop
will pay the cost of fertilizer used
on the first crop.
because by making one acre of
land produce as much as two you
save one-half the labor of cultivation,
and have tobacco that will bring a
higher price per pound.
Because there is an overproduc-
ton of low-grade, nondescript tobac-
co and all should aim to make the
best grades.
Because there is no profit in rails
ing common tobacco, but good tobac-
co always sells well.
because our tobacco fertilizers
have been thoroughly tested in Vir~

will do just what we claim for them.

MeSSrS. EulIOrS - ALL a SUI
scriber to The Progressive Farmer
and Cotton Plant, and am more than
well pleased with your up-to-date
journal. Every farmer in North and
South Carolina ought to take it for
it is brim full of good advise to evry
farmer in the two States. / heartily
endorse your stand that you have
taken in the fight for better prices
for cotton. United we stand divided
we fall. We must all pull together
if we succeed, and the first and only
step for permanently maintaining
fair prices is for us to stand firmly
by the decision of the New Orleans
convention. Let us reduce at least
% per cent acreage planted in cot
ton and fertilizers used to make cot
ton. 1t is going to be a hard fight,
but we can gain the victory if we but
stand together.
/ am compelled to acknowledge
that the old North Carolina boys are
ahead of us in organizing for the
great battle hat is to be fought this
and the next few years. / believe that
history says in the Civil War they
were "frst at Bethel, last at Apo
matox"-that is, the first soldier
killed at Bethel Church In Virginia.
and they we're in the last charge at
Appomatox Court House, l believe,
under the brave John B. Gordon.
We are engaged in a very much
different war now, but none the less
in Importance so far as industrial
and financial conditions confront us
we must fight to the bitter end. Ask
the old Confederate soldiers how
they gained so many victories, and
they will tell you by standing firm to-
gether, and hat is the only way we
can win in this struggle.
/ want to say a few words in ref
erence to a Bureau of immigration
created in South Carolina in 1904
by our law makers to put in the field
an agent to go any and everywhere
to hunt immigrants for South Caro-
lima. 1t seemed a very good move
then as it seemed then that the world
was threatened with a cotton famine,
but the last cotton crop has proved
beyond a doubt that the South alone
can raise enough cotton to supply
the world if the price was 1912 cents,
provided the boil weevil can be ex-
terminated. And I am opposed to
foreign or any other immigration
coming in to our State as the cotton
States to make more cheap cotton at
the very time when we are making a
desperate fight to induce every farm
er to reduce his acreage to be plant
ed In cotton in order that we may
maintain fair prices for our cotton.
1t really seems unwise and foolish
to bring more labor here to make
more cotton, for they will plant too
much justl ike we poor fools have
been doing. There was a bill intro
