warning of earthquakes. In some six
months there were rumblings and
grumblings, gradually increasing in
violence until they assumed the pro-
portions OF earthquakes. and then just
before Christmas the trouble began in
earnest.

total quiescence- No generation has
been born and died on its slopes with

alarming eruption. For more than
80 years no cattle have pastured in
its crater. no wild creatures found
refuge in its thickets- At intervals
varying from a few weeks TO a few
years it has burst forth into erup-

dust, and scoriae. but frequently also
streams of lava. Periods of special

ESONlOS Is In eruption.
Again and again since the
first century OF the Christ
Ian era-since that great
cataclysm OF a. D. 70.
wherein Pompei died and
was born-has the cry. or its ltal-
ian equivalent, brought terror TO
the hearts OF the peasants in the
densely populated region which
surrounds this. the worlds most
famous volcano. It is resound-
ing again through Italy. and indeed
through the civilized world, and thou
sands and thousands of terror-stricken
refugees are making their way Into
Naples, fleeing from the wrath of the
mountain which is overwhelming their
homes and destroying their property.
Naples itself, though II assures itself
that il IS safe. is not entirely without
nerves in the matter. 1t Is afraid OF
a tidal wave which may sweep away
some of its water front. and many or
IFS inhabitants are moving back into
the town away from the water for
safety. And the ashes and cinders ana
dust from the eruption are, 10 say the
least, unpleasant. so while thousands
OF refugees are pouring In to the town
hundreds at least OF the better class
are leaving it until things quiet down
a bit and the air becomes clear enough
10 make breathing pleasant. On the
other hand, hundreds of tourists are
arriving anxious TO see Vesuvius when
there's really something doing. And
there certainly is something doing now.
Vesuyius is indulging In what promises
10 be the third greatest eruption or
which history has any knowledge-the
others being the great eruption OF 1851,
and the first great outburst OF A. ID. az.
Before that Vesuvius had been qui-
escent for so long that IL was not
generally suspected OF being vol
cano. A few learned men, to be sure,
argued its volcanic origin from the
fire-eaten, cindery rocks that were to
be found near its summit. but even
they believed It to be extinct. At that
time and probably for hundreds Of
years before the sides of the noun
tain were richly cultivated. but to-
ward the top the vegetation did not
conceal the loose ashes which re-
manned as evidence OF the volcanic
nature OF the place On its barren
summit lay wide. fat depression.

ORPHEUM HAS ONE WOMAN
WHO PLAYS SIX CHARACTERS

The Orpheum this week has one of
the best bills of the season-so excep-
tionaly good that it sets a new
standard even for that house.
Margaret Wycherly presented six dis
tinct characters in the clever little
drama, I'm Self Defense" The drama
is taken from the. French play, "A Case
of Arson" but Whereas the latter does
not show the crime I'm Self Defense"
gives the whole thing. The curtain
opens upon the woman and her drunken
husband who is telephoning to an
actress TO come to his home. The wife
protests on account of their child and
tries to get to the phone to tell the
woman not to come. The husband tries
to choke his wife, and in self-defense
she stabs him with paper knife. The
detectives arrive after she has left, and
they demand to see all the inmates OF
the house. One and all they tell of the
horrible characteristics of the husband,
even to his insane old mother, who tells
how her little boy strikes everyone he
comes in contact with. Six of the
characters are taken by Margaret
Wycherly, and her work is superb.
Mayme Remington and her black
Buster Brownies rank next. The Brown
les are four little piekaninnies, and
they are born actors. They couldn't do
better In anything else and IL seems
almost impossible that anyone could
better them. The act is original.
The Oliveira trio played several diff
ferent instruments and gave good rem
derings of classical pieces.
Mile. Therese REM, as an eques-
trienne, had hard work TO do and she
acquitted herself very creditably. She
performed with a pure Arabian horse
whose remarkable training was more
than half the act. The horse did the
butterfly dance and jumped rope and
did so many other impossible things
for any normal equine to think of do
ing that he seemed to be possessed Of
human intelligence.
Terley IN a novel plastic perform
ance; Mary Norman, giving American
girl types; May Boley, In a clever
vaudeville, and Arthur Deming, min

cause in that character her own prede-
cessor made one of the most striking
successes recorded on the local stage.
That Miss Gardner undertook it speaks
much for her courage: that she carried
1t out so superbly puts the final seal
on her art that in the role she made
her critical audience forget that she
was not That's Lawton, or cease to
regret Miss Lawton's departure, or so
lose herself that it no longer distin-
guished between the two, but made a
composite of it's two favorites-what
further praise could be given? If one
may venture a comparison, even at the
risk Of being odious, one may only say
that Miss Lawton was Mary Tudor,
while Miss Gardner acts it. And each
may interpret that as suits his own
fancy.
The balance of the cast, with the ex-
ceptlon that Mr.. Bosworth succeeds
Bernard admirably as the Dauphin, is
the same as beforehand just as fine
as are costumes, mountings and the
general ensemble.

whom the machine belonged and re-

Very largely, the same applies to Mr..

which 10000 lances and 200 quick firing
machine guns took part.

miles over rolling plain. Emperor
