In the state at large the death of ex-
Governor Lowndes will have no direct po-
litical effect, SO far as any changes are
concerned. He, with Messrs. Gary, Stone,
Wachter, Mudd and Jackson, were working
in complete harmony. The decease of the
ex-governor, while undoubtedly detracting
from the strength of this formidable COM
bination, does not break 1t up, but merely
lessons the number of persons in the COM

The fact that it was recognized that
the ex-governor would in all probability be
a candidate for the gubernatorial nominal
ton next time was sufficient to keep down
the aspirations of a number of well-known
republicans who have inclinations toward
the governorship. His elimination by death

Dewey-Bowery Burlesuuers.

A French modist, a baron, his wife,
boulevard chansonette, an American
alderman, his wife, and two daughters,
and Hebrew and German anarchist,
are the principal characters in a must
cal melange which, under the label of
"The Gay Modist,'' will furnish the
merriment at the Dewey next week.
The fact that the Offering is lavishly
sprinkled with the principal Partisan
favors,. frivolty, beauty, femininity
and delicacy, makes "The Gay Modist'
capital attraction for burlesque
houses.
An abundance of. really funny sitha-
tions with endless complications woven
into realistic scenes, sparkling glimpses
into the life Of the bon vivants and the
Bohemian set, cupids, right and left

life, the wronged woman seizes a knife
from table and murders Alec as he

great scene Of the play. In it is con-

The moralities were not the earliest
church plays, for they were preceded
by the mysteries and miracles. Per-
haps as early as the ninth century it
was the custom in England on such
feasts as Christmas and Easter for the
priests to act out very simply the story
of the lesson of the day, either before
the high altar or in side chapel. AS
time went on, these little plays became
more elaborate and there evolved the
so-called mystery plays, of which there
came to be whole cycles, embracing the
dramatization of such stories from the
Old and New Testament as were re-
lated by prophecy or retrospect to the
mysterious redemption by the nativity,
passion and resurrection of Christ.
Following the mystery plays came
the miracles, of similar character, based
upon the miraculous lives of the saints.
Last and most effective were the NOR
alities, in which moral truths We're
taught by the speech and actions of
allegorical characters, which typified
abstractly the virtues and vices.
Of this last class "Everyman" is
much the best play extant. The theme
is one of universal appeal-man s re-
luctant obedience to the inevitable
dread summons Of death. The company
is now playing to enormous audiences
at the Studebaker theater, Chicago.

Gus Thomas Trials With
"zhe Earl of PaaUtwcket"

Recalling his dealings with Kirke La
Shelle in the case of ''Arizona."
Thomas next offered the play to Mr..
La Shelle. After reading and accept
ing the play, Mr.. La Shelle secured
D'Orsay's release from Mr.. Frohman,
and, in exactly sixteen days from date,
the play had received its premier at the
Madison Square Garden theater and
had made the instantaneous hit that
kept it on Broadway thru the winter
and the following summer.
Which only goes to show how easy
it is guess wrong about play. This
also brings to mind the exact parallel
case of "Arizona, - which passed thru
the hands of Thomas, Frohman and La
Shelle in the same way, involving also
the transfer from Frohman to Thomas
of another thousand dollars. The sad
dest part Of this "Arizona story,
however, was the sequel in which Mr..
Frohman asked Mr.. Thomas to write
another Arizona" whereupon Thomas
handed out the historic failure known
as colorado. 1t was to make up

Here is the curious history Of the
peregrinations of the manuscript Of
Augustus Thomas comedy, "The Earl
of Pawtucket,' in which Lawrence
D 'Orsay is to appear at the Metropoli-
tan soon.
When Gus Thomas met D'Orsay for
the first time at the Lambs club IN
New York, he was so impressed with
the Picadilly drawl, the Belgravian
stride and the other earmarks of the
bowling upper-class British swell that
stuck out all over the man that he at
once became seized with the idea of
writing a comedy around him that
would give D 'Orsay chance to be his
own proper self on the stage.
Finding that D'Orsay was in Amer
lea under contract to Charles Frohman,
Thomas went to the manager with his
bright idea. Mr.. Frohman told him to
90 ahead with the play and paid him
the $1,000 that is the first preliminary
to securing Thomas manuscript.
When the comedy was finished,
Charles Frohman and all Of his play
readers agreed that it would not do,
and Thomas kept the script and the
thousand and went sorrowfully away.

FED STAGE MONEY
TO TRAIN ROBBERS

Joseph J. Bowling, who has been ap.
pearing at the Unique the past week in
a clever skit by Clay NJ. Greene called
"The Sage-Brush Widow" with his
wife, Myra Davis Bowling, dates back
some in theatrical annals, just how far
back no says he is ashamed to tell.
When the Pence opera house was Min
neapolis' only theater, under the man
appeared in "Nobody's Claim,o in
which he starred for ten years. So he
is at least eligible to associate member
ship in the Old Settlers association.
He tells this story of western travel
in those days. He had been touring Cali
fornia with his wife, and they had
started for the east with season s
savings. Somewhere between Los An
stopped. There was fusilade of revolt
yer shots, and them two rude men with
handkerchiefs over the lower portions
of their faces entered the car, one at
each end. The one at the forward end
covered the passengers, while the other
began to collect jewelry and pocket
books.
Bowling hated to give up, but he
didn't care to argue. the matter. In
his grip was a roll Of stage money big
enough to choke cow. He managed to
get hold of this, and, slipping a $40
gold certificate around it., handed. it
over with the air Of parting
with his last dollar. The robber' IS eye
glistened when he saw that wad, and
he growled out, "You can keep your
watch, pard; for you're doing pretty
we'll by US. -
"They must have thought they made
a big haul" says Bowling, for they
out to them without fussing, jumped
from the train and disappeared in the
brush. I'll bet the next time they held
up a train they kept an eye out for
stage money"

poetry, too, the richest that can possibly
be conceived, Is interfused thru all the
characters-and the whole is lighted up
into such a sunny brilliancy of effect as
