the measure is now in committee. Mr..
Taylor believes thoroughly in the right

name rings turnout the empire in tales
of his chivalrous deeds and the doughti-
ness of his warriors. Bit by bit, in
successive ARRAYS, his fighting force is
reduced, however, until at the time Of
the opening Of the play his following
numbers but ten tried and true men.
Kara has performed service for the
Prince of Tosan and his daughter 70
San, and being invited by the former
to visit his home during the feast of a
thousand welcomes, promises to do So,
tho knowing that the errand will put
his life in jeopardy.
Zakkurl, the minister of war, has
been given limited time in which to
encompass either the capture or death
Of Kara, and prepares an ambuscade
outside the gates of Tosan g home. Into
this Kara falls and is severely injured
but manages to make his entrance.
2akkuri, furious at the escape of his
prey, prepares another pitfall and
leaves the feast expecting to soon hear
of Kara as a prisoner, or dead. The
outlaw is about to leave Tosan's home,
when, weakened by his wound, he falls
unconscious. 70 San, who has loved
the young diamio since her first sight
Of him in the mountains, enlists mute
servant in her service and together they
remove Kara to safe refuge in 70 San IS
apartments. There he lies hidden for
days.
Zakkuri's bloodhounds trace Kara
to his refuge, but 70 San, with the
unconscious aid of her father, prevents
their search Of the house. Comfort
ing herself with the assurance that it is
better to tell a little lie than to suffer
much, she persuades Kara into the be-
lief that he has been with her for two
days, when his stay has really lasted
forty. An arrow shot into the house by
Kara's followers apprises him Of his
long absence from their meeting place
and he prepares to leave at once. He
upbraids 70 San for her deception
and then, understanding her motives
forgives her and takes her into his
arms. Their discovery in this position
by 70 Sans father leads directly tc
the summoning of Zakkuri's guards
who carry away a prisoner.

dead on Christmas day in Helena,
Mont. He was walking on the street
with a friend, apparently in his usual
good health, when without warning or

Heart failure was the cause. For many
years he was with the Stone Music com

master.
At one time he was the leader Of the

"The Darling Of the Gods,'' the
Japanese classic from the pens of David
Belasco and John Luther Long, the
play whose success has proved phenom-
email in the annals Of the stage, whose
story set it's authors on pedestals among
the best of America dramatists and
whose production gave Mr.. Belasco his
sobriquet, ''The master Of stage craft, "
comes to the Auditorium Jan. s for a
week g engagement.
Because Of it's wonderful scenic pro-
duction, which is 80 heavy that small
army Of stage hands is required to place
it, the play has until this season been
seen only in the largest cities Of the
country. In New York it was played
800 times; in st. Louis the theater was
crowded at every one Of it's $50 per-
formances, and other great centers ex.
hibited a like Willingness to support it
just as long as it saw fit to remain.
"The Darling Of the Gods" could
| doubtless retraoe its former route and
meet with the same gratifying recep-
tions. =
Even with all questions between Mr..
Belasco and the theatrical syndicate,
aside, and all sentiment dropped so fa1
as his fight is concerned, ''The Darling
of the Gods' is calculated to cause an
almost unparalleled sensation here on its
merits alone. Critics wherever it has
been seen have freely admitted thei1
gratifed surprise at it's dramatic value
and its beautiful mounting. It's first
performances brought forth veritable
storms of approving comment and It is
now generally admitted that no such
triumph ever preceded it, and only the
later productions from the Belascc
studio are likely to equal it.
The drama is q classic story Of old
Japan in the last generation, when the
government. ordered the abandonment
of the time-honored custom of carrying
weapons. Such an order conficted Sc
riously with the ages-old belief Of the
Samurai, the noblest of the Japanese
castles and resulted in the outlawry Of
many who refused to obey the ukase
Those who were outlawed completed
their existence in mountain Businesses
where they were eventually hunted
down and killed, but they died in al
atmosphere Of glory, leaving behind
which will forever figure in japanese
romances. "-.

While the councils of the order quite
generally initiate large classes at the

that these accessions give No. 63 still
h larger lead over all Of the 800 subor-

scenic background of this thrilling story
consists of seven magnificent sets.
Miss Blanche; Bates originated, the
role of 70 San and it elevated her to
the exalted position she now holds
among contemporary actresses. 1t is
part of delicacy and depth, offering
almost boundless possibilities to an
actress Of ability and a proiectible per-
sonality. Miss Percy Haswell, who will
be seen in the role here, has both Of
these attributes. Her successful
career is too well known to require
tabulation of her successive triumphs.
70 San is one Of the very best things
| she has done.
Robert T. Haines, who portrays Kara,
played the part when the piece wai
originally produced and scored a great
personal success. The remainder of
the cast is up to the Belasco standard,
which is equivalent to saying that it
is of exceptional strength.
1t is worthy of special mention that
the scale Of prices for "The Darling Of
