ALICE NIELSEN is HEROINE.

Prima Donna Leads Frightened Crowd
In "Star-SpangIed Banner"
Chicago, Feb. 26-Hundreds of men
in evening dress fought and struggled
to make their way to the doors Of the
Auditorium theater: women dressed in
the height of fashion were roughly
jostled and their wraps trodden under
foot Saturday night when, through
the stage, in the midst of the perform
. ance of Lucia di Lammermoor," there
began to trickle thin, spiral columns OF
smoke
Two-thirds of the audience was on
its feet, panic-stricken and fighting,
when Miss Alice Nielsen. singing the
principal role of the evening, dropped
the thread of the score and advanced
to the footlights.
Star Tries to Stop Panic,
The orchestra stopped and the
screams of the women and the hoarse
shouts of the men as they fought their
way towards the doors were the only
sounds audible in the theater.
There is no danger" said Miss
Nielsen. coming to the edge of the
stage. Keep your seats. 1t will be
all right"
Then, above all the din of the tight
ing, panic-stricken mob in the body OF
the theater. there arose the strains Of
The Star-Spangled Banner"
Song Arrests Terror.
Miss Nielsen led the song; the fright.
ened chorus was marshaled back into
line, and In a moment the audience,
forgetting its fear and panic. had join
ed in the. worlds.
Men in the boxes stood up and
waved their handkerchiefs. women, q
moment before pale and frightened.
joining In the chorus. They were still
singing when the police and the fire
department arrived and the panic was
at an end.
The fire was caused by the burning
OF some grease in the Auditorium no
tel, and was quickly under control
No one was seriously injured.

Just what effect Days telling him

that meeting was little exchange OF
dialogue, in which DAILY took part with

BRITISH FLAY CENSOR NOT
A POPULAR PARSONAGE

Lord Althorpe, the present lord cham
berlain of London, receives SO, 900 a
year, and his dramatic censor, or ex-
aminer of plays, George A. BEDFORD
about $4,000, explains w. G. Fitz Ger
aid in Harper's Weekly. The censor is
permanent official of the lord cham
berlain's Office. Mr.. Redford has now
held the post for several years having
also advised his chiefs predecessor, the
Earl of Clarendon
The law says that one copy of every
new play, prologue or epilogue, or ad-
dition thereto, intended for production
in any theater in Great Britain, must
be sent to the lord chamberlains Of
fee in St. James palace at least seven
days before it is first acted, and he may
refuse a license if he considers it fit
ting for him to do so. Nor is there any
app, IL against his decision The ex-
aminer of plays is the one autocrat in
the three Kingdoms. He has absolute
power, without restriction, to destroy
the property, and in some sense to dam
age the reputation, of a certain class
of his fellow citizens.
The penalty for the disobedience is Sc
we're. Not only is a fine of $3.50 levied
on any person who presents a piece
either before 1T has been licensed or
subsequent to its being vetoed, but the
sented is entirely withdrawn and the
building closed. Further, any one who
gives information about an unlicensed
performance is entitled to half the fine
of $3.50.
Five and a quarter dollars is the
charge made for licensing a One-act
play, and $10.50 for two acts or more.
The institution has been fiercely at
tackled ever since it was established.
q Ia 70 inc Of Z Il
Pigott, was contemptuously referred to
by playwrights as a walking compen-
dunn Of insular prejudice"
Il have studied Ibsen's plays pretty
carefully" this censor used to say, "and
all his characters appear to me morally
deranged. All the heroines are dissat-
isf1ed spinsters who look upon mar
riage as a monopoly, and as for the
men. they are all rascals or imbeciles -
Moreover, this remarkable critic de-
clared he had licensed Ibsen's dramas
simply because he thought them too
absurd to do any harmI"
For many years the British dra matic
censor has been far from a brilliant
personality. One critic of his described
him as "a weH connected mediocrity
turned into the car of the theater, and
able to do things which no prime min
lister dare do" According to the Off
cldl estimate OF the iOTO cndm Derlaln
office, in ninety-eight out of every hun
bred plays submitted no question of
morals is raised at all. The censor has
nothing to do but read the drama, pock-
ct his $780, and duly license the per-
Torrance.
The present holder Of the Offine, as is
well known, absolutely refused to Ii
cense ''Monna Wanna" "Oedipus Rex
1.-THE Cenel," as well as Ghosts" Mrs.
Warren's Profession" and La Citta
Morte." But not one Of these raised

from the professional suppers and ban
quets which were given in Booths hon.
or, he and Irving used to have long
chats in their dressing rooms after the
performances. One night Booth, who
was playing a shorter bill, dropped in
at Irving's theater and sat in the En-
glish actors dressing room while he
was dressing for the street. Mrs. Irv-
ing and her two sons, then mere young

Torrance that night, and shortly after
Booth arrived ITving's valet came in
with a note which he handed to his
master, saying, Mrs Irving sent this

Irving tore open the note and read it;

smiles which often illumined his face

of the Salt Lake theatre will be inau-
gurated by the return of one of last
seasons most successful attractions.
Miss Jessie Busley in Claiming Pol
locks dramatizatiOn of Miriam Mich
aelson's story, In the Bishops Car
Tiage." Miss Busley proved a revela-
ton TO the theatre-goers OF this city
when she appeared here last season.
and the play I'm the Bishops Car
riage" serves adequately the purpose of
providing entertainment for those who
like strong, natural plays, played by
good actors, and plenty of heart inter-
est, ana the phantom of a psychological
problem. 1t is variant of the Leah
Kleschna and Raffles, themes with
much virtue in construction, and any
quantity of brightness of dialogue and
tenseness of situation. The play opens
just after Nance Olden has robbed Ed
ward Ramsay. the tipsy brother, at the
Grand Central station, and has made
her escape in Bishop Van Wagenen's
carriage. The good bishop, in his solicit
tude for the girl whose brain he be-
lieves to be affected, and who has won
his kindly heart by pretending to mis-
take him for her father, takes her TO
the Pelham home Of his friend, Mrs.
Ramsay. Nance goes willingly enough,
little expecting that she is being taken
TO the home Of the man she has just
robbed, or that she will find there her
friend, Tom DOrgan, playing the role
of waiter and keeping his eyes and
pockets open for any stray articles of
value that may be Eft lying about. The
only one of the party at Ramsays who
sees through Nance's and Toms little
game is Latimer, an up-to-date man
of the world, with plenty of money and
too much leisure, which he devotes
chiefly to the study of criminology. In
terested as he is in the subject, he is
particularly attracted to Nance. He
compels Nance and DOrgan to disgorge
their thefts. thereby gaining hatred OF
