MONTE CR|STO
At THE BURBANK
OLD PLAY DRAWS A LARGE
AUDIENCE
Stock Company Gives Excellent Inter-
pretation of Time Honored Drama.
Desmond Dons Beard for
First Time

The Burbank stock company opened
the week yesterday afternoon with an
excellent presentation of Monte
Cristo." A large audience gave an
enthusiastic reception to the time hon
cred character who escapes from
prison in order to do so many Won
derful things.
William Desmond for the first time
in history covers his youthful face
with a beard. Although he has i'm
personated almost every sort of char
acter, he has hitherto fought shy of
any hirsute apendage. But Monte
Cristo without whiskers was evident
ly more than even the dauntless Des-
mond dared. otherwise he was the
same leading man.
Several good opportunities are made
the best of in tableaux. The always
favorite one of the "The world is
mine" made good impression on the
audience. The scenic effects through
out were weIl arranged and credit is
due to H. S. Dufiield for the staging of
the play.
Blanche Hall as Mercedes gave an
intelligent reading of her lines and
was charmingly artistic. Bennett
Southard was excellent as Norties.
Henry stockbridge departs from his
usual line of work and hence deserves
additional credit for his Interpretation
of Albert. John Burton was good as
Caderouse. The others of the cast
were acceptable.

GOOD ONES
Patti and Victor Hugo

"I dined at Floors Castle one night
during the Christmas holidays" said
an American complacently. Floors
Castle is, you know the Duke of Rox-
burghe's place.
I'VE talked during dinner about Patti.
Patti had made in December a great
hit i'm Petersburg we contrasted that
Petersburg hit with the fiat failure Of
the American tour of the aged diva.
"Then we talked Of Patti in her glory,
Of Patti as a young woman, when the
world adored her.
"An aged marquis said that in Paris
he had heard Patti sing in her youth In
a private house, Victor Hugo was the
idol of Paris at that time. When Hugo
talked it was the custom to hold up the
hand and say II parle' Che talks), thus
getting instant silence. But when Patti
came to Paris Victor Hugo had to take
back seat.
"He had front seat in the house
where Patti sang on the evening l
speak of, and in the breathless silence
of one of PATHS clearest roulades he
made some remark to his neighbor in
hoarse whisper,
Hush said the hostess. Hush,
Patti is singing
"'And Victor Hugo is speaking,' re-
turned the poet. And he got up, all rel
and trembling with rage, and rushed
out of the house. minneapolis Journal.

Experiments Aimed at Making To-
bacco Smoking Less Injuri-
Gus Are Futile.

Many experiments have been made
for the purpose Of rendering tobacco
harmless, some investigators even going
SO far as to take from tobacco large
portion Of the nicotine. But in this case
all the aroma was also taken from the
weed and smokers emphatically de.
clared that they preferred straw.
DR.. L. Menard in Cosmos, Paris, says
that the different methods in use to
make tobacco harmless consist on the
one hand Of putting the nicotine, in
chemical combination with other sub.
stances, the net result of which is to
neutralize the bad products which re.
suit from the combustion, while, on the
other hand, we have arrangements for
fltering the smoke. For the latter pur.
pose various means have been en-
ployed, cotton, amianth, charcoal, etc.,
while to Increase their activity these
products are impregnated with an acid
(sulphuric, phosphoric, citric) or with
a body which will precipitate the aka.
lOids Of the solutions. All Of these
methods, however, are unsatisfactory
The acids sensihly affect the aroma Of
the tobacco and produce q sensation Of
dryness in the throat. while the reagents
Of the alkaloids are often poisonous and
should only be used with great care"
DR.. Menard, therefore. recommends Q
new procedure suggested by M. Sontag
This consists IN fitering the smoke
through cotton impregnated with
perchloride Of iron. process which may
be easily arranged for In all pipes and
cigar-holders. The filtration of the
smoke in this way diminishes consider.
ably the proportion Of harmful sub.
stances which we're originally present
In the smoke.
