Of the desert as it stretches out for
miles on three sides. and also OF the
valley of the Nile, which with It's teen-
ing millions is in view not far away.
The top of the Pyramid is about 30
feet square. 1t is as big as a good
sized purlor and is one of the most in
teresting roof gardens known To man.
AS / sat there l could see the work

100 feet of the height of the Washing

count the aluminium tip of the latter.
The stones OF which the pyramid is
built are of different sizes. Some are

some are SO high that you require two
men to pull you onward as you climb

that old Cheops weighs something like

ten million horses, or more than half

ADJUSTMENTS
Tho YirRinian.

'The Virginian," which comes to the
Metropolitan tonight, is perhaps the
most genuinely American drama that
we have ever had. It's western char
acters come from many states, it's he
no from Virginia, its heroine from ver-
mont. The romance between these
two comprises a series of adventures
that could happen in no country but
ours, and the whole forms a picture
of the dawn of civilization in one OF
our western territories. The novel has
been tremendously successful, and the
play has been equally SO.
IS Minutes From Broadway.
After a record of a solid year de-
voted entirely to two cities, New York
and Chicago, towns of lesser impor-
lance are to be privileged this year OF
witnessing George NJ. Cohan's biggest
success, "Forty-five Minutes From
Broadway" which will he presented
in this city tomorrow evening at the
Metropolitan theatre. Tho tour is un-
der the direction of Klaw & Erlanger,
which is an assurance that everything
that can make the production thor
ough one has been adequately looked
after. The cast is a large one, ana
contains several names famous to the
stage. It is headed by Corinne, who
Is said to enjoy in the role of Mary
the best and most important part she
has played in recent years. Mr.. Conan
says of this recent effort from his pen
that, while a play with music, he has
tried to give 1t more of consistently
dramatic character than anything pre-
viously written by him. With this OBJ
ject In view he had tried to avoid the
ordinary run of conventional stage sit
uations and climaxes. The play de-
rives Its peculiar title from the fact
that its scenes are laid in New Ro-
chelle, a suburb OF New York and ex-
actly forty-flve minutes by train from
Broadway. Unlike Mr.. Cohan's prev.
