patrons of vaudeville and the perform
ers will have no reason to complain,
and If Mr.. Erlanger is to be believed
there will be no reason for carping by

have here no one even guesses, unless
they have the Majestic.
Until February 10, 1916, Max Dill of

of her disappearance is known to none
save Dobre. This saves him from
vengeance for a time, but fate, con-
science and the relentless pursuit of the
husband at last break down his de-

brilliant comedy, "Divorcons," this week,
with Hobart Bosworth in the same part
that he played in this city when he APP
peared here as leading man with Mrs.
Fiske. The role of Cryptorine will be
played by Lillian Albertson. The services
of the entire Belasco company will be en-
gagged in "Divorcons," and performance
of exceptional merit is promised by the
Belasco management. Sardou's famous
old comedy is seemingly having new
series of successes for Grace George, after
a season in New York, has captured the

has had his seasons booked solid, and it
is doubtful if he would have found room
for the old favorite even nGw had 1t not
been for the many requests he has had for
a revival of the play. Louise Royce will
have her first real opportunity for good
work since her advent with the Burbank
company She will be seen as the old

Every other Burbanker has been cast adj
vantageously. The great race scene will
come in the last act.

kirkman attempted to get the book
printed at a city publishing house but
without success. The book will deal
with scandals in the army and it is
stated affects several prominent of
ficers.
He says Marshall NJ. Kirkman, vice
president of the Chicago 4 Northwest
ern railroad, his uncle, is to finance
the publication.
klrkman is member of one of the
best known families in the United States
In 1905, while stationed at Fort Mo
brara, he caused the suicide in Omaha of
an officer of his regiment, because of
remolse on account of his wifes re-.
lations with Kirkman.
kirkman was tried shortly after this
and convicted Of conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman.
He was sentenced to two years. i'm
prisonment and dismissed from the army
In 1900 while captain of the 23rd in.
fantry, he was tried in Manila on a
charge of offensive conduct toward the
late Archbishop Cappele while en- route
to the Philippines ON transport
The tldal was ordered by General
Harrison Grey Otis, then in command

KING DEVOTED TO YACHTING.
King Alfonso of Spain an Enthusiastic

MADRID, Oct. Sizing Alfonso's de-
votion to yachting is likely tc be dis
concerting to some of his courtiers, who
are not good sailors, but are expected to
share their monarch's tastes. A day or
two ago he is said to have remarked to
a Spanish nobleman: Il know you al

necessary be large, although that would
help. All that is required is that she
express a desire to marry again and
indicate whether or not she would con.
slider an offer ON marriage from re-
spectacle honest man."
This agency is sending out letters to
practically all the widows in the state.
At the beginning the marriage brokers
ask only 10 cents for full information
regarding the business. This in itself
would bring in a fair income, provided
there are sufficient diseontented widows
credulous enough to answer the circular
elling of the fine line of bachelors and,
perhaps, widowers, more than ready
to take a chance.
The circular letter head speaks of the
association as marriage brokers'" In
one corner is a picture of two clasped
hands beneath which is printed united
we stand, divided we fall"
While the construction of the letter
is a bit "lumpy," yet that need not
stand in the way of any widow who
believes that a helpmate is absolutely
necessary to real happiness, Nothing
is said in the letter regarding the tinan-
cial standing of those on the list, but
what of that, if every one is respect
able, honest and goody" Here is
copy OF the letter
Dear Madam-You having been a
married woman, would you accept an
other offer in marriage? We think we
can find You a respectable, good honest
man, if you wish to get married again,
as we have quite number of very
eligible men on our lists that we can
furnish You with such person as you
want, if you wish to embark in matri
mony again."
1t will be noticed that the circular
refrains from saying anything about
the "sea of matrimony," although it
cuts pretty close by asking the fair
one if she wishes to again "embark"
But the letter goes on and gets at the
milk in the cocoanut and shows just
where the brokers "get theirs
