"Heart Intersstr Anain-

But, to return to the heart interest"
without which Abigail would never
have succeeded, this element is in oppo-
sition to the general rule of procedure
set down by Mrs. Grundy, supplied at
first by the woman in the case" (apol-
ogies to Clyde Fitch and Blanche
Walsil). Abigail is the original lover
in the central theme, and she is con-
fronted by a difficult task in many in
stances-that of wrestling the man she
loves from the thralldom of which an
other woman is the cause. In short,
John Kent, young civil engineer, is un-
civil enough to engineer his affections
in direction leading far, far away
from tender hearted Abigail; but, like
many another budding phenomenon, he
lives to love the girl the playwright de-
signed him ultimately to marry.

and, last, but not least, Ada Rehan is
giving the public another opportunity
of seeing her fine performance of Cath
crime in THE Tanning of the Shrew."
Miss Rehan's decision to mark her
return to the stage by acting in the
comedies of Shakespeare and Sheridan
is particularly fortuitous, since this
generation is too little familiar with
the representations which made the
actress a delight to the preceding one.
Her Catherine is the best that the stage
has had and there is little doubt that IL
Is also the best the stage win have.

NEW BILL AT AIR DOME.
Standing Room Only Sign Put Out on
Sunday.

The Air-Dome played to capacity
twice on Sunday night. Swearingen's
band was tationed at the outside and
gave an open air concert.
The programme was the best ever
given by this popular place. De Coe, an
eQuilibrist was the chief attraction. His
work was little short of wonderful. The
Quinn Trio were good in athletic work
and acrobatic stunts. James Dalton,
1.-The Wisconsin Farmer had the floor
all to himself while at work. The
Braggs, I'm the Tramp and the Gaiety
GIRL proved very fine. Eta Ashton
sang some illustrated songs in a pleas
ing manner. The cinometograph or
moving pictures, were among the best
ever shown in the city.

Innes' Week at Vinewood Was Great
Success.

money last week, all kinds of it. They

out the exact attendance and though
they have not completed the work they
estimate that the crowd hauled out to
the park for the week commencing
Sunday, July Is, ran close to 10000
people. At 20 cents apiece this crowd
spent for car fare alone $4,000. AS
much more doubtless was spent on the

ton combined. The amount received
from the reserved seats was about $500
of which Innes received half.

a drawing splendid houses at
the Savoy theater. which fact
IS probably due to the heart interest
element in the plot. The American
public certainly loves love. It would
seem that the true recipe for success
ful play nowadays is:
Tears, two cupfuls.
Laughter. a few pinches before the
boiling point is reached.
Epigrams, one now and then.
Signs, six or eight, assorted sizes.
Smiles, a quart and a pint.
Coquettish grimaces, three table
spoonfuls.
Romance, two quarts.
Love, eight yards. well done on both
sides.
However, Abigail is not so full Of
tears as the two cupfuls before men
toned indicate. for throughout the play
humorous touches and situations occur
frequently.

Berlin, Aug. 26.--Japan has won q great moral victory, Russia a great diplomatic one and President Roosevelt has become the first figure In interna- tional statesmanship.
 That Is what Berlin thinks of the result of the Portsmouth conference. The Foreign Office, where the Associa- ted Press brought the first announce ment and the summary of the condi- tions agreed upon thirty minutes be- fore they were known elsewhere in Germany, says unreservedly that with out the Presidents personal exertions. supported by his unique position and the power of the United States. peace would not have been attained and that Germany and the whole world will ben eft by the Btatesmanship shown by the Washington government. The Foreign once acknowledges the generosity and moderation of Japan and the steadfast spirit of the Russian government.
 Astonishment at the result was felt by the Foreign ofice, Certainly 1t was the first exclamation of one of Russia s principal bankers, who was expecting a different outcome. That Russia would not have to pay any indemnity was at first scarcely believable. The Berlin stock exchange had bcen pre- parinG- for news of a rupture of the neeotiations and for consequent disor- der in the market.
