Chastity Reminders of the Past.

There's a good healthy roast COM
ing TO Lew Dockstader, and if he
doesn't know it his Judgment has be-
come sadly warped. A long suffer
ing public can stand quite a severe
jolt 1t has been sehooled to that
sort of thing this season. But that
does not warrant Dockstader's con-
summate nerve as manifested in his
minstrel show at the Columbia last
week.
His advance notices gave glowing
descriptions of the performance, and
particularly featured the great See
ing Washington" car, which was al
legged to be the occasion of simply
screaming local hits. And the prom

was taken seriously by all who real
ize that Dockstader really can be
funny at times. But shades OF the
past! Not only was there absolutely
nothing new in the hits" but what
stuff was used ceased to be funny
generations ago, even II one is rash
enough 10 admit that II ever was
funny.
For instance, are we seriously ex-
pected TO laugh when Dockstader
points out building and says: THAT
is police headquarters. The sound
you hear is Major Sylvester snor-
ing?" And the next minute before
you have a chance to recover there
is an allusion to Dorsey Foultz, And
SO II goes. II there is one really
funny hit, or a single up-to-date al
lusion in the skit, the writer failed
to notice II.

about her. IL Is no wonder she Is success
full in the role she presented here, for Il
is quite like herself and hardly an assump-
ton at all She had three days In Omaha
besides the two she played, and spent her
time just as a healthy girl would. Re-
hearsals on the stage at the Boyd took up
the morning hours Here she labored with
the members Of the company, especially
with her long brother, John, Of whom the
family hopes TO make an actor despite his
expressed preference for newspaper work.
Up to date John hasn't shown any very
remarkable talent for the stage, while he
has done some newspaper work that was
looked upon by his fellow toilers as good.
After rehearsals, the Barrymore party
strolled about town. took short runs into
the country and went to the ball games.
The entire Sioux City series was witnessed
by Miss Barrymore and some Of the others
OF the company. She played no favorites,
but did exhibit keen interest in the prog
ress of the games and proved herself suf-
fcently versed to enjoy all that was en-
joyable In them. All OF this goes to show
that she has not been much spoiled by the
success that has seemed to come TO her
almost without her asking, and that her
buoyant girishness is still unlimited by the
sonberness Nof hard work
Yet Ethel Barrymore knows what It is
to work hard. Even in playing Sunday
she works with care that few in the audi
ence detect. She shows no nervousness,
but every now and then evlnoes what seems
to be something Of uncertainty, like the
girl working over a new piece of fancy
work. or an intricate stitch; she appar-
entity hestates and goes back TO compare
with the pattern, and then goes ahead,
with better feeling. II is not a lack of
confidence in herself, but an excellent anx-
iety to do II right that causes this. She
is growing in her art and she wants to
grow along right lines. II is very appar-
ent that all the time she is studying effects
and looks to see the result of each express
sion. either OF voice or body. Some day
she will doubtless come to be classed
among the great ones of the American
stage, just as she is now listed among the
most popular. II she does achieve great
ness it will be because she is not neglecting
the talent that is undoubtedly her birth
right, but Is carefully endeavoring to bring
it to its full maturity through proper Gull
ture and along right lines.

Actor Stories.

julien Rose has the reputation OF being
one OF the most entertaining story tellers.
This reputation probably has its root in
the fact that the comedian makes Il q
rule never to relate any anscdote which
cannot be told inside OF three minutes. One
of these is narrative about a little girl
Of his acquaintance who was asked in
school to tell into how many bodies CON
gress was divided. To the surprise Of the
teacher and the delight of the class the
wee lady answered: "Three-civilized, semi
civilized and savage"

SAVAGE Wild Buffalo.

A Ceylon newspaper prints the fol.
lowing regarding the head OF a wild
buffalo, which was shot in that island
recently: Both the horns we're bad
ly worn off. This was probably caused
by the animals constantly digging up
the ground with its huge horns at the
least excitement or on seeing an en-
envy at distance. It is said that the
animal was a savage and dangerous
brute, and the mere appearance of the
huge head clearly shows 1t to have
been so. A bullet was found imbedded
an inch deep in the neck Of the buff
falo. close behind the left ear. 1t hav-
ing been previously shot at by some
one, evidently at very long distance"
