FERROUS Mr.. Bugle" written by Madeleine
Lucette Ryley for the purpose of introduc-
ing Miss Annie Russell as a star 1t is In
three acts, and tells its story in a breezy
and refreshing manner. The plot is simple
enough and the witty lines flow easily from
the players lips, the complicated situations
dovetail into each other with mathematical
exactness, and the climaxes punctuate the
plot at proper intervals. Nothing more Is
claimed for Mr.. Bugle'' than that 1t is Of
fered as an amusing diversion.
The play had its original production in
this city at the Columbia Theater From
here 1t went direct to New York running
an entire season at the Lyceum Theater in
that city. The Cofumbia's popular leading
man, Mr.. Guy Standing was a member of
the original company, which contained

little boy or girl. AT first white spot Is

A Pointer on Personal Beauty,

From Success.
There is saying that every time a
sheep bfeats 1t loses a mouthful of hay"
Every time woman worries she loses a
little of her attractiveness and takes on
marks of age. If your servant scorches
the soup or overcooks the meat, never
mind. You cannot afford to worry about
1t, and If you scold her you may make up
your mind to lose some Of your beauty, to
let go some of your magnetism. If the
members of the family are habttually late
try to remedy it. but don't worry about It.
If you do you will grow older in the pro-
cess.
Il your husband or children do things
which do not please you do not nag at
them This will only aggravate the evil
you complain of, and it will cost you some
OF their love and respect. Every time you
nag you will lose little of your power
to charm and attract them to you II you
lose your pocketbook don't worry about It,
Worrying will not bring it back, but it will
take out Of your face and disposition that
which money can never replace. If you
meet with bitter disappointment don't fret,
don't cry over it. If you do, you pay a
penalty which you can i'll afford No wo-
man can fret and nag and worry and keep
beauty and power to please.

The Real Peril in Language.

From Harper's
1t is no infrequent remark that In these
latter days there exists a distinct tendency
toward lawlessness In usage, distinct in
disposition to defer to authority We are
told that the language of the man in the
street Is held up as the all-sufficient stand
ard. If this statement were ever true, 1T
was never less true than now. There
might have been apparent justification for
an assertion of this sort in the great crea-
tive Elizabethan period. Then no restraints
upon expression seem to have been recog-
niZed outside of the taste or knowledge of
the writer. AS a consequence, the loosest
language Of conversation was reproduced
with fidelity In the speech of the drama,
then the principal national literature. But
nothing Of this freedom Is found now A
constant supervision over speech Is exer-
cised by the amateur champions OF pro-
priety who are ensconced at every f1reside.
In colleges and academies and high schools
an army of instructors, assumed to be ex-
perts, are regularly engaged in holding In
check any attempt to indulge in real or
supposed lawlessness.
1t is not. therefore, from the quarter of
license that any real danger to our speech
arises. If peril exists at all. 1t comes from
the ignorant Journalism and affected precis-
ion which wage perpetual war with the
h1gh-honored idioms Of our tongue, or ar
ray themselves in hostility to its natural
development.

bered predicted that Chopin's music would
be orchestrated some day. and that 1t would
then be realized that his individuality was
more exquisite than Sebastian Bach's and
more powerful than Beethoven's. 1t Is
Giacomo Orefice who, in collaboration with
a poet. Angelo Orevito has fulfilled the
first part Of Madame Sands prediction--the
outcome being work in four acts called
Chopin, in which the Polish masters
works are orchestrated and provided with
connecting links by Orefice. The result.
however is to show that Chopin knew more
about music than George Sand did The
peculiar delicacy of the Poles compositions
withers to nothing under the glare of the
footlights.
But the libretto Of Chopin" Is even more
extraordinary than it's musical setting. The
composer himself is the hero. AS a con-
sumptive he is. Of tourse. the tenor. In the
first act he accounts for his melancholy
state Of mind by the OPP. Is Nocturne. In
the second he breaks In with a polonaise
upon cheerful baritone, who has been
doing his best to amuse school boys with
the OPP. 40 Fantasia. Flora, the object Of
the musicians passion. chimes in with Op.
u Nocturne, and the conversation becomes
so tender that the baritone and the boys
find 1t necessary to retire TO the strains of
the OPP. D Impromptu. In the same act
Chopin suddenly has an idea, sits down to
the piano. and turns out a nocturne just
easily as If he had known it all his life.
SO this remarkable opera goes on. Chopin
dies in the last act, after confiding two more
compositions to the attentive ears of his be-
loved.
Playgoers here are looking forward to
