Jacques
DOROTHY VERNON"

The great success which the POli summer stock company has won in the presentation of Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" more than justifies the Judgment of the management in offer ing for the enjoyment of the patrons of the Jacques production as mas siye and pretentiOus as this dramatic
 version of Paul Kesters made from Charles Majors romantic novel of the same name. There was some little doubt of the success of the play before
 the first presentation but after that sterling performance and the instan- taneous hit it made. there could be no
 mistrust at the future. No drama
 given by the company so far has net
 with the popular favor to so great an extent as Dorothy Vernon and it is no discredit to the members of the cast to say that nothing they have done has been so artistically presented. It
 is ill the perfection of the details that the craftsmanship of any great work lies and the small and seemingly unim- | portant features of this weeks offer ing have been handled with care and intelligence that bespeaks much for the direction under which the piece has been staged. The work of the stage
 crew in getting up the scenes for the l different acts has been remarkably l speedy when it's numbers are consider
 ed and the size and weight of the sets.
 If would require the services of at least 1 eighteen men to mount the play under
 other circumstances and Stage Manas- 1 CT Fitzgerald and his men continue to do it with less than half that many. 1 Those who have the powers of reason ing and understand the difficulties oi i handling such production are willing
 to endure the eight minute waits be- l tween some of the acts knowing that no one behind the curtain is loafing and that every lf1an is hustling as fast as he or any other is able to. A visit to the Jacques this week will more than
 repay even the busiest in the commit
 nity for the play is intensely interest ing, the stage settings are superb and
 the acting beyond reproach. Prices are TO- 20 and 30 cents: afternoons ],

blood mixed with rum: prayers to the snake rise on the night air; priest and priestess add to the excitement with frenzied manifestations: the widest debaucheries are carried on.
 The voodoo doctors practice regular ly. their services required in every day life as well as at the special orgies. They probably. like the Indian medi- cine man. have some knowledge Of herbs and roots. their medicinal quali- ties and their poisons. The supersti- tious stand in fearful awe of their powers. pay money to avert evil from themselves, to bring down curses on an enemy.
 While the darkest. most sinister of the voodoo mysteries are carried on in secret. voodooism of sinister enough sort may be seen and heard nightly in Port au Prince. The signal for the ceremonies is the strange sound made by the beating on the tam-tams. the big bullock-skin drums II is sign that a band of negroes have come together for the shameless dance. the weird and unholy rites of voodooism.

tion to pleasant qualities; personal talks are held wherein the staff is given a pretty high standard to live up to. And, so this manager told me, the girls take their training not only willingly. but eagerly, are educated up to the consideration of waiting as a womanly and dignihed calling. The serving is amiable and skillful.
 In looking over the menu one anus edly finds that all sorts and conditions are provided for, from the health faddist to the person that cares not a rap for future effects of gastronomie indulgence. You may drink postum cereal sweetened with saccharine, or you may imbibe murderous Mocha partake of deviled crabs, lobster salad, chafing- g-dishes-anything. You may have certified milk brought to the table in darling little jars from scien. tifcally conducted dairy, and turn into your goblet Jersey milk pretty nearly straight from the COW. You may buy ten cents worth of food. or ten dollars worth, and the courtesy will be just the same. You may lunch off bread and milk, or you may have six-course meal.
 One of the tea-rooms can seat 2,00t at once, has a floor space one block long and half block wide This is not all a great public space, however there are numerous cozy little re cesses and secluded corners. The grill room" attracts those given to mad, dishes and hot-from-the-hob things and there are spots far removed iron sight and sound of food preparation As we said. arrangement for many men of many minds.

freshment. A tea room to the Chi cagoan means the place provided by a department store for the convenience of shoppers that may desire break fast, luncheon or five o'clock. The "place" at Fields. Mandel's and Car son Piries is no stuffy, tucked-in cor ner, but a goodly part of one floor given over to snowy tables, comfort able chairs, shining buffet. trim maids, an almost ideal service One forgets all about department stores, weary shopping. the city's outside turmoil and dust in these quiet. flower-adorned. beautifully clean surroundings.
 No wonder men who have become acquainted with them prefer them to club and public restaurant of the usual order. No wonder the harassed house. keeper invites guests to meet her at a tea room table; no wonder out-of- town buyers consider them better than the most expensive hotels. They cer- tainly are a feature of life in Chicago of which the city may well be proud.
 The majority of the patrons are women, naturally, as the majority of the crowds filling the stores are wom- en. but there is a considerable sprin- kIing of men. I asked my cicerone about the gentlemen. and she named a few names that are well known in the city. said the same groups come day after day. seem to like the atmos- phere and the cooking. the delft wait resses. the exemption from presence of greedy, waiting lackey.

VOODOO MYSTERIES

Voodooism we associate with dark est Africa. with slave days in Louis iana, with the un-Americanized negro, with the past But to-day 1t still ex- ists. today it's superstitions and the worst of its rites form cult followed by a large body of apparently mild. more or less civilized darkies. Both in Hayti and Cuba, from time to time. there come to light cases of horrible atrocities, almost unbelievable cere- monies. Not SO very long ago down in Cuba the law got hold of band of negroes that had murdered little white child as sacrifice to the voodoo deity-who seems to be none other than his satanic maiesty-devil-wor- chip voodooism is often called. And just recently two persons were exc cuted in Hayti for voodoo cannibalism.
 It is reported that officials high in position in Hayti close their eyes to voodoo practices. even repeated that the president himself attends the an nual voodoo 1estiyal. In that land now in possession of the negro. where but . century ago French civilization had no small influence. there one finds reversion to barbarism the blacks go- ing back to the state of their forefath- CTS in the African jungles. It seems pretty near home for this sort of thing to be going on unmolested.
 Of course. the more civilized of the usvf;an< do mi admit such A state of affairs. either deny that voodooism exists in Hayti, or else deny that it ex- fists in any particular locality in which the speaker dwells.
 There are different degrees of VOC dooism. but one acquainted with the excitable negro temperament can easi- iy imagine the one stage leading readi- iy to the fiercer. cannibalistie. Woo, dooism, 1t would appear. involves the
