work of Kyrle Bellew, both plays hay
ing for their main theme a society
criminal of great brain, whose polish
ed manner hides great craft and cum
ming. A comparison of Jim the Pen

advantage to the older play, for while
the production of the Bellew piece
fails to reach beneath the surface,
moral is taught by Young's four act
drama. The plot is hung together in
an ingenious manner, all revolving
around the adventures of the penman,
the role of which will be taken by Mr..
Douglas
For the first time since the opening
of the new Columbia patrons OF

Douglas in the role of a villain, part
which he seldom assumes. The part
of James Ralston, the forger is re-
ported to be favorite one with Mr..
Douglas, however. Other members Of

roles. Miss Henriette Browne will

which she portrayed with great sue
cess in the east. Charles Wyngate
Will be cast as Captain Redwood,

ed at the constabulary headquarters
in Manila. The military and civil au.
thorities are much elated as Sakay
was chief of ladrones in Luzon, and
his surrender means an end of the
campaigning in this section.
The surrender of this ladrone chief.
tain was accomplished through the in
tiuence of Nillafuerte, a former Off
cial of Sakays government The act
ing chief of the constabulary con
terred with Villafuerte two months
ago and when the latter gave himself
up he promised to use his influence
with Sakay to persuade him to sur
render He met Sakay in the provinces
recently for a long conference, which
resulted in the latter's surrender.
Il surrendered said Sakay, "be-
cause fighting is an uphill game and
the Fillipinos will never succeed in
gaining independence until they show
themselves worthy of it. There is
nothing to be gained by opposing the
Americans"
His surrender is regarded as the
most important since the close Of the
instruction. Sakay is an educated
Filipino and after giving the American
authorities much trouble in and
around Manila, proclaimed himself SUI
preme head of the republic with head
quarters in the Tagalog islands, form
ed a large staff and issued commits
sions to generals and other officers.
He went into the provinces three
years ago and started a campaign of
robbery and general depreciation. A
reward of $1,000 was offered for his
capture. Sakay fought several bat
ties with the constabulary and was
twice reported killed, but always
evaded arrest.
