from ocean to ocean, and In this way
complicated movements are set going

billow reaches the English channel, and
there the shallow water delays 1t SO
much that 1t does not arrive at the
strait OF Dover until 10 a. m. Here the
narrowing channel causes the tide to
rise very high and almost puts an end
to the wave. In the meantime another
branch of the billow runs around the
western side of the British islands,

James O'Neill as the "COunt of Monte

For years James O'Neill has been
the recognized American representa-
tive of Dumas hero of Monte Cristo,"
and although a versatile and most adj
mirable actor. particularly in roles
requiring vocal eloquence. he has
been forced by public demand to de-
vote most of his time to this play. He
is the one supreme authority in this
role. just as Mccullough was in "Vir-
ginius," Booth in Hamlet" or Jeffer-
son in rip Van Wrinkle" When time
cannot wither, or customs stale play
or an actors performance. it must be
conceded that there are the genuine
elements of merit in both. Such is
Monte CristO" and James O'Neill.
Mr.. ONeill was younger man
when he first essayed his dual role
that of Edmund Dantes and the
Count of Monte Cristo"-yet his fire
Is still undated and he plays with all
that fine dramatic spirit which gave
him his reputation. His voice, reson-
ant and we'll modulated, is peculiarly
adapted to these evolutionary phrases
and he gives to the quieter scenes a
breadth and dignity not often asso-
ciated with melodramatic roles.
Where others shout and tear a pas
SIGN to tatters, he commands respect
by forceful reserve and that impress

achieve in theatric plays of this ma
ture.

LIFE OF MRS. s.JEFF'' DAVIS
Something Of the Life History Of Woman Who BY All
southeners and Whose Death Has Just Occurred.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis was so years
old on May Z last. 1t has probably
passed from the minds of many per-
sons that Mrs. Davis was of northern
stock. Her grandfather was Richard
Howell, who commanded the New Jer-
sey troops in putting down the first
rebellion against the American gov
eminent. He was plain man of the
people. descended from WEIGH par
ents, who settled in Delaware in
1929. His father raised a family of
eleven children. He himself became
governor of New Jersey, to which
state his parents had removed when
he was lad of Is.
Governor Howell was a federalist
of the stanchest kind. and when Wash
ington passed through Trenton on his
way to New York to be inaugurated,
Governor Howell received him official
ly with considerable display of 10y
atty to his personal and political
cause. Governor Howell led the New
Jersey troops during the so-called
whisky rebellion" and led them

Mrs. Davis was born in Natchez,
Miss. the daughter of William Burr
and Margaret Howell. She was edu-
| Gated at a boarding school in Philadel-
phia and by private teachers at home.
Her marriage to Jefferson Davis, then
a resident of Warren county, Miss
issippi, took place Feb. %, 1915.
Jefferson Davis was elected to con-
gress in November of the same year
but resigned the following June to &c
to the Mexican war, from which he
returned severely wounded. The cou-

dluuuc really
Maude Fealy. the talented young
star, who is to be seen at the Metro
politan Wednesday, Oct "a. in Martha
Morton's latest comedy, The Illusion
of Beatrice" has two distinctions of
which she may we'll be proud. To be
accorded the title of the Youngest
dramatic star on the American stage"
and to be designated ''the most beauti-
full woman in the world" are possess
sions that are rare. Miss Fealy was
the leading woman Of the late Sir
Henry Irving at an age when most
young ladies are still in college. She
was declared to be the most beautiful
woman in the world" by jury of ex-
perts in Paris, last year, when the
photographs OF Miss Fealy were
awarded the first prize in the contest
for the worlds most beautiful women.
In 1.-THE Illusion of Beatrice" the au-
thor, Martha Morton, has supplied
Miss Fealy with a role that is suited
to her girlish and pleasing personal
ity. The play has scored a triumph
wherever it has been seen and the
manager of Miss Fealy, John Cort,
will present the young star here with
selected New York company and
surrounded with complete produc-
ticn.
The indications are that the appear
ance of Fealy here will be one of the
fashionable events Of the season.
