ADJUSTMENTS
MetropoIitan-"Tom Moore

metropolitan ON MOORE f.
The year 1906 was a strenuous period
for one Thomas Moore, poet, for in that
time, according to Theodore Il. Sayre,
playwright, he alienated his sweetheart,
sought fame in London, found it, then
lost 1t, won his sweetheart and was
crowned with honors by that very
worthy man, the Prince Of Wales. Mr..
Sayre's play tom Moore is not a
typical Irish drama, for there is not a
duel nor a murder in any one Of the
four acts. They really were not neces-
sary, for the poet could disarm his enc
mics and foil his rivals with his voice
and his verse, two Weapons he had al
ways with him..
Andrew Mack was a right merry poet
with a jest or a song ever on his lips.
He exchanged wit with the prince regent
with the same insouciance that he
romped with the school children, and with
prodigal Irish %gallantry was ready to
sacrifice his future and his hope of I'M
dying fame to save the girl he loved from
that artful villain, Sir Percival Lovelace.
His s~elf-sacrifice won a just reward for
the girl and the honors found him in
his bare garnet attended, in q most
proper fashion, by but one faithful serv-
ant. In his surprise and joy Moore sings
1.-THE Last Rose of Summer as he had
sung believe Me If All These Endearing
Young Charms Loves Young Dream
and other ballads at intervals thru the
play.
Miss Josephine Lovett as Bessie Dyke,
who went to London to play in the
Drury Lane theater, must AVE been a
much better actress than a school,
teacher, for her discipline could not AVE
been commended by any conscientious
school board. She was very girlish, very
confding n very pleasing. Mrs. Malone,
the landlady, who was never affected by
Moore's poetry to the extent of forget
ting her "rint," was we'll played by Miss
Anne Mack Berlin. Edwin Brandt made
a very polished, a very ~resourceful vii
lain, but as he could not rhyme and
never sang a note, he was always foiled
in his villainy by the man who could

Albert Andrus was the Prince of Wales

laureate, to the discontinue of the pub
Usher who had just destroyed the con
tract which he had wrung from tn
poet to save his sweetheart, and which
gave him the right to publish for lf'
everything Moore wrote.
There were other distinguished peopl
present-Sheridan, Lord George Wynne
Lord Mora and Lady Fitzherbert, a.
well as a dozen or more ragged schoo
children to join Moore in the schoolroon

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Intimation that
cial straits has come from several
sources within a fortnight, coupled with
the assertion that he is losing the re-
markable personal influence that has
held his church together for years.
Some of the creditors who permitted
their claims to pile up two years ago,
against asaGas the the "First APOSTLE at Zion
City, are again becoming nervous. The
suspension of "Leaves of Healing
the principal publication of the Chris
tian Catholic church and Dowie's per-
sonaI mouthpiece, was the first tangible
evidence of financial difficulties.
But there are other important de-
velopments supporting the conclusion
personal magnetism, by means of which
he drew his followers to him, is wan
ing. Chief among them are:
The reorganization by the triumvi-
rate placed in charge of the affairs of
Zion City by Dowie upon his departure
for a winters rest, the details Of which
have not been made public.
The sale yesterday of the Zion build
ing and leasehold at Michigan avenue
and Twelfth street, the first piece OF
Chicago property that he has ever. con-
sented to give up.
IS Other efforts said to nave been made
among the stockholders and members
of the community at Zion City by the
officials Of the church to raise every
penny in sight to tide over the present
tight squeeze.
Flocking Of dozens of Dowie's fol-
lowers from Zion City to Waukegan:
and surrounding towns in search Of en-
ployment.
The withdrawing of hundreds of
leases from Dowie's private recorders
office, to be fled later at Waukegan.
The fact that Dowie's signature ap-
pears no longer inythe old, smooth, flow,
ing hand, but betrays} weakness and
unsteadiness in holding the pen.
