The One Woman" i"

It is not an easy task 10 write a play which wins the approval Of the clergy, and vet has in it all the tricks of the sue cessful modern comedy drama Thomas Dixon, Jr, in his newest play "The One Woman which comes to the Jefferson theatre tomorrow afternoon and night has not only won the approval of the churehmen, but the regular theatre-goers as we'll
 In creating the characters of "fhe One Woman,' MT. Dixon merely tried to con struct play showing a realistic and yet intensely human cross section of modern life, permeated as it is with socialism. All the high lights and dramatic incidents were placed at their true value, and by the time the creative genius of this soutn- ern dramatist had finished a play, brim- ful of human interest was attracting the staid and blase theatre-oger, as well as the novice.
 The moral, which is implied, and which appears only between the lines, is as dom- inant as though cast in a statue of bronze and placed among the players.
 From the first act to the last "nhe One Woman" abounds in action which is ex. hilarant, with never a tagging moment, and yet all is in perfect poise, proporlIor and balance, showing the delft hand of the master dramatist.
 With many sidelights on socialism in all its materialistic sensuousness and unfaith- fitness, there is ever in the background a love story that is sane and wholesome. The love of Ruth, in contrast with the passion of Kate, brings to the front the natural instinct which demands that the play turn out right in the end. The com-

"The Man From Now"

A distinct musical fantasy in a prologue and two acts is promised for the Jeffer' son theatre "Wednesday night, when Hen rv w. Savage will for the first time here offer Harry Bulger as star in The Man From Now" by John Kendrick bangs, Vincent Bryan and Manuel Klein. Dur ing the past seasons Mr. Bulger has done some excellent work, his last appearance being under the management of MT. Sav- age as the principal comedian in Wood land" In this new vehicle he will play the part of a nomad, Steve Wafnes, and it is promised that the character will be one of the best that he has ever had.
 The story of the play briefly treats of things in satircal way as they may bo expected to transpire one thousand years from now, when the trend of the nations mind is for athletics, and not for mental superiority. The rule of woman is antioi- pated on broader lines than the fair sex now enjoy, and the possession of more money than one may easily spend is con sdered treason to the state. The adven- lures of five travellers from this age, who are thrown into contact with the dwellers on earth one thousand years from now forms the basis of the story, and MT. Bangs has given 1t very light and de- lightful treatment.
 "The Man From Now" should prove It. self popular song show, for there are no less than a full dozen songs which are of the popular variety, ohlefest among them being My Dainty Music Maid. "Loves Lesson," 'T Will Love You Forever "Coaxing." "Girls, Girls Girls mere Isn't Anything That Cant be Cured' and College Chums." In the cast supporting MT. Bulger will be found Isabel Hall Wal ter Lawrence, Hattie Arnold, Bertha Johnston, Helen Hale, Edward Martindell, Lucy Tonge. Phil Branson, w. F. Mur- phy and a large chorus.

on the plains were parted. The scene has been adjudged one of the strongest ever written for a play, and has much to do with the success of this very excellent stage portraiture of Owen Wister's novel,
 Dustin Farnum, 1t is said, seems almost to have been created for the Virginan, and his success in this role has been most gratifying to his admirers. The impress sion of physical strength, of manly self reliance, of honor, amiable aggresslveness and of resourcefulness so essential to the true character of the Virginian, seem to have found a suitable expression through the portrayal of this character by 4ar Farnum.
 The supporting company will include Frank Campeau in his superb characterl- zation of the vilanous cattle thief, Tram pas. Bonnet Musson will be seen as the misguided Steve, Frank Vail as the ir- repressible "Honey' Wiggins, and Mabel Wright as the Vermont school teacher heroine, Molly Wood. Others in the cast are Frank Nelson, Harry Holiday, c. R. Gilbert Craig Muir, Lillian Corbin, Bessie Starr and Eleanor Wilton.

"The Virginian" is the story of the friendship of two men quite as much as the story of the love of a man and a wo- man. And it is in the third act, where these two friends come together for the last time, and the Virginlan captures Steve Burned cattle thef), that the strength of the play is fully shown. 1t grips the attention because of its nov city, and 1t tugs at the heart as the two strong men face the unalterable problem of their lives-the one the hunter, the oth- CT the hunted; and the two friends who had shared the joys and sorrows of life

Its types are faithfully copied from the book and transferred to the stage without losing any of the charm which created the enormous demand for Owen Wister's romance. Principally, it is written about men, which is the rational proceeding in a country where woman are in conspicuous minority, and the men belong to Wyo- ming, every one of them.

"I BELONG TO BELLPORT
SOCIETY OF PROMOTION
OF PROPERTY. DOWN
WITH THE WASHERS"

In a day or two all Bellport was in
terested in the scheme. Case after case
was reported in the newspapers of some
husky young clergyman or other upright
citizen who, by the might of right and
strength, had smashed some masher.
These men were heroes.
The only difficulty seemed to be that
frequently a young woman found sew
eral men looking at her intently-men
who, prima facie, we're nothing less than
masher; but later she observed that each
of these men wore the anti-mashing but
ton, and then she knew at once, that in
looking at her so intently they were not
mashers, but members trying to deter
mine whether she were one who rightly
came under their protection.
Andruss was muscular. In times past
he had led crusades against saloons with
an. axe in band Crank as he was he
certainly was all there when it came to
doing things. But unfortunately, no op.
portunity had yet arisen by which he
might distinguish himself as Promoter
of Propriety, although he kept his eyes
wide open.
But his opportunity came at last. One
evening at the hour of midnight he
boarded trolley car on his way home
The car was we'll filled but not crowded
All the seats, however, were taken. He
was the only passenger who stood, and
he had a good opportunity, therefore, to
keep his eye upon the other occupants
who sat. Suddenly he started.
"By George" he exclaimed profanely
look at thatP All this he said merely
to himself.
Well might he exclaim. For upon one

them clergymen and law-and-order
leaguers. 1t was a salutary movement.
The members agreed to take the law
into their own hands, and personally to
turn offenders over to the law, or to ad-
minister personal chastisement. The
women present agreed TO do their part
though from the appearance of the ma
jority of the fair sex present, it is doubt
ful whether any of them had received
more than their quota of masculine at
tention.
But there was difficulty i'll the way.
I'VE must consider one thing" continued
Mr.. Andruss, 'and that is, that there are
some benighted young women who pre-
fer the attentions of these mashers AS
our Offices necessarily must be confined
to those who resent such attentions, there
must be some means by which the lambs
may be distinguished from the sheep.
We, therefore, ladies and gentlemen,
have caused to be manufactured these
beautiful buttons, which shall be dis
tributed broadcast among the men and
women of the city. While it is generally
easy to determine whether the attentions
of masher are resented, or otherwise,
yet in a doubtful case, this button will
decide. This button may, nay, will, be
worn by any young woman who prefers
to have it known that she desires the
protection of the Society. The button
may be worn also by males, thus in
forming females that protection is at
hand. This, we believe, will prevent
Washers from pursuing their nefarious
practices
The button was somewhat conspicu-
Gus white, celluloid affair, and upon it
were inscribed these words:

be yourselves and write what is in you
Do not initiate any other PERSONS writ

AS result of this advice Tommy
Wise turned out the following compost

instant the young lady, who for the first
time had seen the prisoner, rushed for
ward with a little scream.
"Warnerw she exclaimed, throwing
her arms about his neck.
At the same instant the clergyman
started forward. "Why-why," he de-
manded, whats the meaning of this,
Mary, my child? And Trevelyan? Why,
what do you do here?"
He did not exactly understand what
was going on. But nevertheless, he
turned around to Andruss. 'Mr. An

There was matter enough, it seemed.
Mr.. Treveyan, very angry man, waited
patiently until Mr.. Andruss had abjectly

lyan for attempting to hirt with his own
wife. Then Trcvclyan, with consider
able vigor, advanced complaint against

ANDRUSS,
ANTI
MASHER
By VIM. HAMILTON OSBORNE.

YER since its birth, and up to a
year or two ago, Bellport, as a
- city, had been noted for its
proper tendencies. 1t was a
large but oldfashioned place and it be-
haved ITSELF Latterly, however, its in
crease in importance had brought into
it a multitude of strangers. Some of
these strangers were desirable-others
unmistakably the reverse.
One of the old citizens of the place
known to everybody was Mr.. Andrew
Andruss. He was not particularly old
in years, bat he was old in virtue. He
possessed all the requisite qualities of a
genteel old maid. He was vigorous,
however, and, naturally, he was crank.
But Bellport tolerated him.
Mr.. ]. Warner Trevelyan, on the other
hand, was a newcomer, known to but
few Mr.. Andruss and Mr.. Trevelyan,
diametric opposites as they were, had
never met There was no reason why
they should.
Trevelyan was a good all round sort
of man; some people might have called
him a sport; he certainly was free and
easy. He was also handsome.
Mr.. Andrew Andruss, the native, had
lived in Bellport just forty years, and
Mr.. Trevelyan, the outlander, just forty
days, when Bellport held up for discus
sion tremendous problem.
Mr.. Andruss began the agitation, for
he was a public-minded citizen, and a
public-minded citizen is very apt to agi-
tate the public upon all vices save his
own. Mr. Andruss had been the cause
of several uprisings in the interest of
law and order. He did not smoke, there
fore in years past he had begun crusades
against liquor and cigarettes. He never
had owned an automobile or a fast horse,
therefore he was careful to denounce
both. So from time to time he kept
the public mind agog.
His latest outburst, it may be, was
we'll justifed-it was a crusade against
mashing. The term "mashing" is one
well recognized and it has its place in
literature. But it had no place in Bell
port, so declared Mr.. Andruss and his
followers-for they never had INDUCED
in the pernicioGs habit. This habit, so
declared Mr.. Andruss, had been inn
ported into Bellport; it was device Of
the Philistines. Andruss made a public
matter of it. and called a meeting of
~ The. riGht-r.iaded citizens of the town
both male and fema4c.
He presided. Ladies and gentlemen, -
he began, fellow citizens of the city of
Bellport, grievous evil has arisen in
our midst, due, as l am assured, to the
pernicous habits of outsiders-I refer to
the disreputable custom of mashing. 1t
is our purpose to adopt measures to
wipe this evil from the face of the earth.
1t is an evil that the police are unable
and unwilling to eradicate. The remedy
lies with US and with all true gentlemen.
1t is our purpose, therefore, to form
this night the Bellport Society for the
Promotion of Propriety."
These remarks were received with en-
thusiasm. The society was duly formed
with Mr.. Andruss as its president. Its
members were of all classes, many of

| side of the car there sat man whom
Mr.. Andruss would have called a fiend
in human shape. This liend was hand
some young man, dressed i'll the height
of fashion. He looked something like
a sport. And this man was doing moth
ing more nor less than smiling into the
face of pretty woman, young and very
attractive, who sat across the way.
Every time she met his glance she
slightly flushed, but the young man kept
on smiling
This young man was Mr. ]. Warner
Trevelyan, but to Mr.. Andruss he was
unknown.
Andruss, in order to make no mistake,
watched his operations for a few mo-
ments; the fellow was persistent. He
waited until the young woman looked
once more in his direction, and then he
boldly winked at her. The young woman,
aware that Mr.. Andruss and others in
the car were watching her, flushed tip
again. Mr.. Andruss moved a step nearer
to the scene of operations. Then he
breathed sigh of relief For in con-
Spicuous place upon the woman's dress
was the beautiful button of Promoters
of Proprety. This meant that the young
woman resented the familiarity of the
man across the way and that she was in
need of help. And Mr.. Andruss was
ready to give it. He stepped up to the
young man and regarded him sternly.
The young man did not seem to see him.
Instead, he kept his eyes fastened upon
the girl across the way.
Sir" exclaimed Mr.. Andruss sternly,
you're scoundrel!" !"
Mr.. J. Warner Trevelyan shifted the
air. Then he turned aside his head
Such a lot of drunks on the cars nova
days." he murmured to the man next
to him. The man next to him, who did
not care to be mixed up in anything,
failed to make reply.
Mr.. Trevelyan threw back his over
coat somewhat carelessly. AS he did so
Mr.. Andruss gasped with astonishment
For there, displayed upon the lapel of
the young masher was another button
of the anti-mashers. Mr.. Andruss inn
patience then knew no bounds. For the
young gentleman, boldly displaying this
button to advantage and utterly ignoring
Mr.. Andruss, again winked upon the
young lady and slightly motioned with
his head
"You-you--you hypocrite," yelled Mr..
Andruss, advancing in a rage upon the
young man and tearing from his coat
the button; you ungodly scoundrel-
fiend in human shape~ Then and there
he set upon and beat the young man
about the head, and Immediately there
was a furore in the car of the most ex-
