FITCH'S "HER GREAT MATCH"
MAXINE ELLIOTT PLEASES IN
TIE NEW COMEDY.

A Story OF an American Girl. a European
Prince and . Rejected OFFER OF .
Morganatic Marriage Charles Cherry
Her Leading sIan-Mr. Fitch Speaks.
The engagement Of Maxine Elliott at the
Criterion Theater, which began last night,
will doubtless be one Of cheerful II not
overwhelming prosperity. This In the sort
Of guess which the theatrical manager
thinks q dramatic reporter In sent out to
make, whereas II is no concern whatever
OF the newspaper whethe play attracts
the passing dollar. The question for him
Is that which Rudyard Kipling attributed
to the devil, namely. ia 1t art7"
Now when II chances, as II does with
much frequency. that Clyde Fitch wrote the
play, there can be NJ question about the
art. It stands out In great esrgoyles and
caryatids all over the drama; It shines In
the moonlight which comes on at the touch-
ing Of button; 1t croons In the chant OF
the sycamore tree which capttvates the
ear Of German Prince, and 1t double leads
itself In black faced type In the cleverly
superficial adaptation OF q newspaper
sensation.
The new play written for Miss Elliott
Is called "Her Great Match 1t Is all about
beautiful American girl with whom
German Prince Of royal blood fell In love.
She loved him too, and that made trouble,
because royal princes must not marry
American girls except morganatically.
The girl In this case would not accept the
morganatic proposition. which the Prince
made unwillinsly but IN obedience to
stein Parent.
The American girl had a Cassie Chad

These involved the girls father, whom she
adored Can the astute reader see great

The Prince throws up what he calls the

Venske is superintendent of the Bald

employ. Some time ago Venske was called
away, leaving Caskey In charge, and also
leaving several checks signed by Venske
in blank for Caskey's immediate use. When
Venske returned he found Caskey drunk
and he also found that he had drawn
checks to the amount of several hundred
dollars. Just why Venske should then
take Caskey back to work for him is a
mystery. There are rumors that Venske
was not acting fairly by his company;
that he had several names on his payroll
that were myths; that Caskey was on the
inside and knew all this, and had been
extorting hush money from Venske. At

FLIP P|NOS NEED
A GUIDING HAND
Congressman of the Opinion
That the Islands Are Not
Yet Fit for independence

2 MANILA. Aug. 3O.-The last session
of the conference with the agitators
for the independence of the Philip.
pine Islands, held to-day, developed the
fact, according to consensus of opin-
ion among the Congressman present,
that the t'ilipinos are altogether unfit
for immediate independence
Apart from the problems presented
in the civilization of the Igorrotes, the
Moros, Macabebes and other tribes. 1t
would be cruel, it is believed, to the
people Of the islands at large to turn
them over to the mercies of theorists
and demagogues. They would then ex-
perience the worst kind of exploitation.
The statements of the speakers at
the meeting were widely divergent:
those of the mercenary facSion being in
contrast with the native egitators
The provincial governors, when they
were heard, emphatically declared that
the whole people of the islands were
unfit for independence for many years.
1t developed during the session that
the two principal agitators had been
under sentence for various crimes.
Secretary Taft. Miss Roosevelt and
Bourke Cochran visited several Of the
Catholic colleges which conferred hon
ors on the gentlemen and presented
souvenirs to the ladies of the party.
The ladies of the party met this
afternoon to form a branch of the
Red Cross Society.
