BiJou-"No Mother 70 Guide Her.u

StJou-"No Mother to Guide Her."
just why Lillian Mortimer. chooses to
call her latest production mo Mother to
Guide Her" is hard to say, but after
witnessing the performance It is safe to
venture the assertion that had mother
oeen present ana tried to guide she cer-
talnly would have had run for her
money and finished poor second at
that. Little attention Is paid to the
'tear-squeezing'' title in lines or action.
but it is believed that the Her who had
no mother to guide Is "Bunco," the stir
ring and tempestuous role played by Miss
Mortimer herself. Her needs no moth
! er FOR she is as busy as scared cat on
the Fourth of July thru the four acts of
the show Fighting villains assisting
mush- h-headed and virtuous heroines, ETC.,
picking pockets, "stalling cops" climbing
thru transoms, taking care Of babies,
getting in and out Of trouble, turning
! handsprings In bed, and at the same time
/ holding a gun on the villain while he is
being tied to the foot of the bed, and
caring for the prop baby that Is supposed
to be, sleeping on one corner of the same
bed, sermonizing and numerous other
stunts-an these occupy the daily routine
i OF Buncos strenuous life. No mother
could do more. =
The play Is far above the average melo-
drama. tho 1t Is strong on low lights and
hysteria- The audience leafs it alive
and boots and howls or cheers, as occa'
sion demands. The villainy of John Liv.
ingstone is "hot stuff. triple distilled
and the virtue Of Rose Day, Ralph Carl
ton and Bess Sinclair Is hopeless ane
; helpless. There are thrills and sensa
tions to burn, and the audience frequentl!
gets them SO tangled that it laughs in tn,
wrong, place, and cries when 1t is al
over. '-.-1--
Miss Mortimer Is clever in way, ant
original, and captures the audience com
pletely. In appearance she Is somewha
shy, but she is possessed of a good speak
ing voice.. Of which: she has remarkable
control, and is there in the action all TIN
time. The piece is well staged and tn
, scenes. tho overdrawn to the full exten
demanded by melodrama, are well AM
effectively presented.

THE JEWISH ENcYcLoPEDIA-voL.


UME xlI.--The twelfth and last volume
of 1.-THE Jewish Encyclopedia which
has just been issued, is perhaps the most
interesting Of the. entire sseries to Ameri-
can readers. This volume contains as
complete a history of the Jews of the
United States as has ever been penned.
The article is from the hand Of DR.. Her
bert Friedenwald, recording secretary Of
the American Jewish Historical society,
Phila adelphia. It Is accompanied by fac
s1mile reproduct1on Of the letter addressed
to President George Washington by the
Jews of the Hebrew congregation of
Newport, R. +: The letter is signed by
Moses ~eSeixas and is reproduced by per-
mission of the OWNER, Frederick Phil
lips of New York. Mr.. Jacobs contributes
a section on statistics, and the publishers
supply All elaborate map in colors show
hing the distribution ~ 81 the Jewish popu-
lation of the United States at different
periods from 1854 to 1905. = n
Other subjects in this volume are such
as would fall alphabetically between Tai
mud and ZsNeifel- r.: 49,. -
Some very interesting statistics, show
ing what. an immense amount of labor Is
entailed by such a work, have beer
printed by the publishers, as follows:
/ In the production Of 'eThe Jewish Encyc1ope
! dia' no less than 10,6O6 general articles were
written, which treated more than 100000 sub
sidiary subjects. To do this, $3.50, oil word
| were penned, OF which s,16S,957 were found ac
| ceptable and approved. TO furnish this vas
amount of matter, about $4,000 separate work
| were consulted, excluding the biblical Talmudi
| and apocryphal books and their subdivisions
The rate at which the volumes were produces
was nearly four a year, eleven volumes having
been issued between February, 1902, and Decem
ber 20. 1905. Each volume exceeds 700 pages Il
| the aggregate that more than s,4oo pages Q
type were, set. and these were read in gale
proof, page proof and plate proof by more tha
fifty pei sons. -..

twelve volumes containing 5000 page

Orpheum-Mode Vaudeville.


The hand of the potter who turned
out this weeks bill at the Orpheum
shook with a tremor that appears to have
been something of a jerk. The bill Is far
below the general merit Of that Of last
week and, as whole, is somewhat col
orless thruout- 1t opens with a chorus
girl turn in which Caprice, Lynn and Fay
do a little singing and little dancing
and much changing Of costumes. Neither
the singing nor the dancing rise to the
point of commanding turnultuous ap-
plause, but the shortcomings are COM
pensated by the earnestness with which
the young women work.
Allan Shaw palms coins and cards, and
outside of the ''digital dexterity'' does
little to break up the serenity Of the act.
Stanley and Wilson have a valueless act
built up around the clarinet imitation of
Stanley, which in itself is new and clev-
er, saving the act from a, hopeless frost
Clifford and Burke, Of the great and end
less army of blackface 'artists," are as
good as any Of the kind. g.
Sandor's burlesque circus Is good. It
is q, turn which will appeal to all the
children from to 60 years Of age. The
animals are splendidly trained and the
stunts are all new. 1t is one Of the best
animal acts OF. the Orpheum year. 81

he goes on record as believing that
mighty things have been acconpl plished.
The first and great fact Is that the
Americans have made the zone a fit
place for men to live in. This was,
Of course, essential to the. construction,
of the canal, and its neglect was the
prime cause of. the French failure.
Colonel Gorgas has subdued the. fever
and conquered the malaria. He has
given Panama cities pure water sup
plies and the Complementary depart
ment to his has built houses for the.
workmen which insures, with a little
attention to personal habits, the securi-
ty Of health on the canal zone.
In addition, considerable digging has
been done and the railroad has been
improved Mr.. Denison entirely neg
lects the question of the blockade of
freight, but recent statement OF
Chairman Shonts is to the effect that it
has been lifted. The immediate labor
is the double.tracking Of the railroad
and the construction Of spur lines into
the canal work in order to get the dirt
out. Then there is also, in Mr.. Deni-
SON IS opinion, a pressing duty resting
upon congress to select the type of
canal. The cutting on Culebra cannot
be much longer continued proftably in
the absence of such information.
The Outlook, discussing great fortunes.
remarks that If Adam had lived 5000
years, working 800 days year, and had
laid by $500 day he would have ac-
! cunulated no more than the elder Cor
nelius Vanderbilt was supposed to have
made in his lifetime, about $1so,ooo,o 900
The Outlook in this calculation leaves
out the element of interest. If = Adam
had received 8, per cent interest, com
pounded annually, on his savings a very
different result would appear. He
would be worth today more than all tht
earth Is worth. ~ .... 49,.

Financing San Francisco.

San Francisco wants the federal gov
ernment to guarantee her bond issue for
the rebuilding of her municipal build
ings. especially schoolhouses. It is
urged that the city must ALSO have
place In which to conduct It's official
activities, must have water service and
sewerage. To some extent It must be
repaved. All these things might be
provided for by bond issues. But can
San Francisco in her present condition
! and under existing money market condi-
!, tions sell bonds at a. reasonable rate of
INTEREST,"
Minneapolis, rich, progressive and
: we'll governed, in the flush Of prosperity,
. commanding the favorable opinion Of
the entire country, and growing at a
rate likely to make her first in per-
; centage of increase in population and
4 increase in assessed valuation in the
next federal census, is unable to float an
] issue Of school bonds at 31a per cent be-
Z caue of present money market condi-
tions. Money is so scarce that it has
been necessary here to raise the inter-
4 est rate to 4 per cent. How then can
Il San Francisco in her present condition
3 float any bonds at all or without paying
q nearly, if not quite, double the ordinary
& rates of interest on such securities9
& San Francisco, as we understand it, is
{ fortunate in one pa-ticular-she has
8 very little outstanding Indebtedness

This is the view of the matter enter

S ground that her citizens desire that the

r curities, thus enabling her to get money
