THEATRICAL LETTER
 FROM FRANKLIN FILES

New York. Oct 1s.-Ask your grand father if he ever saw Dan Rices One Horse Show. Circus history runs into tradition that Dan. at the beginning of his career as a clown. formed pro- fessional partnership with a tricky horse, and that there wasn't anything else than those two animals in the en- tertainment. If that was so, the ex- ploit is outdone now by May Irwin In A new play, for she Is both the clown for Jokes and the horse for tricks. Sho will bring the play into New York in few weeks; and in the meanwhile sne ventures to within twelve miles or town on a practice tour; so have ta- ken the chance to see 1t in its course of preparation.
 You know the only May lrwin-how fat and jolly she is, and how she LOOKS as though she acted Tor nothing else than the fun of 1t; ana will you take mv word for it that she is the thrifti- est of come 1iennes? Her company or twelve contains not one who does any thing to warrant salary of more than sSo A week, and I should say that the average isn't above $25. She used 10 carry along two or three good come dians, and a dozen handsome girls 10 sing the choruses or her songs; pu. now she hasn't one real actor. and her six girls simply stand and sit around as listeners Nobody works but May. The title of the play is Mrs. Wilson. That's AL" but 1t would be more ex- act if it were. Miss Irwin. She's All. I presume that she gets pay for thus exploiting the advertising catch-line or a whiskey She manages her own bus inass and uses no songs without buy ing them outright, SO that she will have the royalties of those that are published and sell we'll. She sang sleyen the night I saw her. and seemed 10 be making experiments. as two or

Mrs. Henke, known as..i the handsomest woman, in Milwaukee, states that after physicians had fail-s ed to give her any per-
 sa manent relief from that dread disease consump- tion, she tried Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey and has been entirely cured.
 Mrs Henke thankfully writes: For six years I have been ailing with lung trouble. which kept growing worso until my case became serious. I em- ployed four different local physicians. giving each a fair trial, but with very little success. During this period was troubled with dizziness. cold sweats. cold hands and cold feet. cough ing, chills and hemorrhages, which clearly indicated consumption. My physician suggested that move to . different climate. tried several wide ly advertiser medicines. but with no good results. then I tried Dury's Pure Malt Whiskey.

the regular visitor to Monte Carlo sees
none Of these. In those gaming
rooms the very air is poisoned and
vltiated, here one sees the trembling
hand, the quick moving eye, the
nervous strain. Gold is King. The
day we were there I presume there
We're over six hundred people about
the various tables But the awfulness
y not all on the face of things. 1t is
when you live in the atmosphere of
the Riviera for time and learn how
many people are being carried away
on the tide of speculation, that the
depth of the vice is seen. In our
hotel were people who depended for
their daily living, the payment of
board bills, on what they might
win at Monte Carlo. People make a
business of learning roulette. In our
little hotel they had a toy roulette
board where the guests generally
women too, would play by the hour,
watching the numbers. The stakes
would be few pennies perhaps.
Next day would find them at the Jetty
the local gaming resort where a
franc was the smallest limit and next
day Monte Carlo would take them in
and five franc would seem small as
the Invest limit. 1t is such a common
thing there for respectable people to
gamble that we were considered
freaks and were almost ashamed to
confess that we hadn't "jnst tried our
luck for once" Well I wish every
minister could visit the place. He
could get enough sermonic material
to last for good while. We saw
a young Japanese who seemed hope
lessly ruined, one could easily
imagine him to be numbered among
the many suicides which are reported
each year. They have a cemetery
for Monte Carlo suicides. Excuse me
for turning this communication into
a sermon, didn't mean to.
Well we had three weeks at Nice
and had a good time. We met some
Providence friends and made new
friends at our little hotel. We lef
there about January sixteenth, going
to San Reno by automobile. This
journey of thirty miles was over the
upper Corniche road, built by Napol
con as a military highway. We wer'
ii2higa above the sea and at time
could see the whole coast line from

Cannes and then ascended the foot
hills and lost itself in forests of olive,
orange and eucalyptus. Grasse is the
centre of the manufacture of perfum-
cry. Here all the fragrance and
beauty of the violet, carnation and
rose is extracted to supply the de-
mands of society. If you want to
keep your respect and love for these
flowers, keep out. We were shown
all about the factory and finally were
taken into the sales-room and there
a young woman squirted several
kinds of aromatic liquid over our
coats, and the smell remains unto
this day, attesting to the pure quality
of the product.
But we must not leave Nice with
out visit to Monte Carlo! Of course
ministers and minors aren't supposed
to be there but as I intimated before,
the clerical apparel reposed in the
trunk-and I pride myself that | do
not now appear to be under twenty
one, SO with safety and dignity I
could well go. I presume you have
all heard of Monte Carlo, most of you
have heard the little ditty of the man
who broke the bank there. Perhaps
he did, but the bank still does busi-
ness and the man no doubt has since
committed suicide. The principality
Of Monaco in which Monte Carlo is
situated, is no doubt the smallest in
dependent government in the world.
The extent is less than fifteen miles
square and the population something
like fifteen thousand. People pay no
taxes here. The whole government
is supported by the gambling rooms
at the Casino. The Prince of Monaco
has wonderful palace which he sell
dom sees, and the cares of govern
ment rest lightly upon him. The
situation of Monaco is ideal. One of
the most charming spots we have
seen. Here it is another case of
''where every prospect pleases and
only man is vile" And man-and
woman especially is here vile indeed
1t is that form of vileness which is
clothed with good clothes and re-
spectabiiity and perhaps with a title.
Gambling is the sole end and aim OF
existence here. The Casino is one OF
the most beautiful buildings in the
world, an orchestra reputed to be
one of the very best, plays daily but

Cannes to San Reno.

Cannes to San Reno.
Genoa. The only interesting feature
of that part of the journey was the
number of tunnels through which we
passed, there were eighty six in a
distance of ninety miles.
In Genoa we quite believed that
we were in Italy. It isn't an attractive
city to visit tho it is probably the
most Important commercial center of
the country. The harbor is large and
well situated and ships from every
land find shelter there. Of course
tipped my hat to the statue of
Columbus merely for sentiments
sake but because more and more am
glad that he discovered us, for we
certainly were needed. We made a
pilgrimage to the house reputed to
be his birthplace. After that trip
could we'll understand why he be-
came such fearless navigator. He
must needs be to find his way home
at night even were he a sober man.
Such narrow streets and such peo-
pie. Mutinous sailors on the ocean
aren't to be compared to numerous
italians on narrow street at night.
Spaghetti and macaroni are the
national food and are to be had in any
form, in any quantity at almost any
shop.
The next point of interest was the
Campo Santo, Or cemetery. This is a
strange place. Here four thousand
of Genoese dead are literally
"shelved.'' About large grassy
court are two corridors, the sides OF
which to a height of fifteen feet are
filled with caskets. In front of nearly
every section or family plot, is q
statue Or monument in marble
Strange conceptions, marvellous ex'
ecutions and designs are here found
Here are marble busts of the father
and in front full length statues o.

or guardian angels.
/ In the court yard the poor peo
pie are buried free. But they arr
allowed to rest there seven years ans
are moved to general burial plo

My dear Mr.. Morrison.
Somewhat more than a month ago
wrote from Nice, giving some
hastily conceived impressions of
Paris. In this letter I shall try to
take up the course of my narrative
from Nice even into Cairo. / think
failed to tell of our short visit to
Avignon, France on the way fro m
Paris to Nice. In this interesting old
place lived the Popes for twenty min e
years if memory serves me Alright.
The old papal palace is now used as
barracks for French soldiers and
little remains to tell of the churchly
lnhab tants of several centuries ago,
save a few dimmed and partially
obliterated frescoes. Across the
Rhone from Avlgnon in the so-called
"Dead City" once the home of some
of the French aristocracy but now
inhabited by the poorest of the poor of
southern France. 1t is mere shadow
of former elegance. In little
convert we saw the tomb of one of
the popes-Innocent VI. One could
well spend months in visiting similar
towns of France, each telling tale of
romance, religious zeal and persecu-
ton, kingly splendor and final decline
into poverty and filth.
Let US return to Nice where we had
such heterodox as to the we ther

winter home of thousands from

civilized worlds costly situated at
the foot of the Maritime Alps. Owing
to the contour of the coast and the
shelter of the Alps, the climate is
semi tropical and the vegetation
luxuriant. Eucalyptus and palm and
olive trees run riot. The olive trees
with their silver gray leaves and the
palms covered with dust, seem to tell
you that they are tired of looking
pleasant continually and as if wishing
for respite form being on show.
The orange trees were heavily loaded
with fruit and we enjoyed the abund-
ance. We were granted the privilege
of picking some rather forbidding
appearing ones, for the small outlay
of few pennies.
A great many people who visit Nice,
live on the great promenade along
the sea or at the Jetty, Casino or at
some of the fashionable clubs. They
seem to know little of and to care far
less for the wonderful scenery near at
hand, the snow capped mountains,
the sunny drives, the precipitous
roadways far above the city. The
whole country is picturesque, every
hill is topped with an ancient town,
seemingly inaccessible and once
intended to be quite unapproachable
by friend or foe. We visited a few
of these towns and were surprised at
their medieval aspect. The streets
were narrow and generally dirty, the
houses were huddled together as
though for warmth. At the top of
hill one finds invariably the church
and the chateau. The former are
manned by some very ignorant look
ing clergy and one wonders at the
sort of spiritual food dispensed there.
One of the glories of Nice, and in
fact of the whole Riviera from
Cannes to San Reno, is the coloring
of sea and sky. Now the sea seems
to be of pure gold FURNISHED and
dazzling. Again the face of the water
is deep purple. Or changing blue Or
at sun set the water and sky seem to
meet in one blaze of opal lustre. The
Mediterranean is never monotonous-
that is when you are on land, as to
other times, more later.
One interesting trip was from Nice
to Grasse. We went in an automobile
and had perfect day for the ride.
The road lay along the sea as far as
