Jefferson is an event for lovers Of clean,
wholesome and high-class dramatic work.
There is something about Mr.. Jefferson
and his art that draws him closer to the
playgoer's and the general publics heart
than any other actor was ever able to do.
His manner of life. his all-around fond
ness for the ideal and artistic. his public
and private associations, the gentleness
and sweetness of his nature, and the
quiet observation-disclosures with which he
contributes 10 the glory and dignity of
his profession all recommend him as
strongly as the heart, humanity. and DO
etry he puts into his representations. No
other characters in the entire range of
the drama have ever taken such strong
and persistent hold on popular favor and
esteem as Mr.. Jefferson's Rip Van Win
kle. He has been playing Rip for a dec
ade. The secret of Mr.. Jefferson's sue

the character. and that in enacting Rip

pearls among many Islands that COM

When Levy went out to Papeste. some

he named the Diamond. In this small
craft he sailed among the islands and
bought from the natives the pearls found
by them in the great pearl oysters
which are so common in that region.
After he had gathered a large assort-
ment of the beautiful gems he went to
Paris. where he found a ready market
for them. He soon afterward returned
10 Tahiti and bought the trim schooner,
Tiara. Levy then began business on a
large scale, and acted as a trader be-
tween island points.
Everything Levy touched in the islands
seemed 10 favor him. His pearl indus
