March 4 at the Grand Henry b.
Harris win present Charles Kielnrs
greatest play ,'The Lion ana The
Mouse" The supporting company
and the production vim be in keeping
with that of previous engagements
The Lion and the Mouse, Charles
Klein, tn author. has written play
that promises TO be of enduring popu-
iarity. Indeed. it may be said that
the success already achieved by this
drama is beyond anything known in
America In the past ten years.
The theme is most pertinent TO the
present day when everyone Is keenly
allv to the machination of trusts and
kings OF finance. Mr.. Klein has dis
played excellent Judgement in pre-
senting phase OF American slife with
which the public has become familiar
through the newspapers and maya
zines OF these times. He depicts n
king OF finance as he Is, robbed OF
melodramatlc attributes. In opposi-
ton to him he places a true figure of
American womanhood-lt is their
struggle with the victory for the girl
that constitutes the basis upon which
this powerful drama of emotion is
built.
From this complication arises a
series of situations OF strong emotion
and admirably as they are written.

1t has been produced. In New York
alone the play is row in its. third
year at the ayceum Theater, 1t hav-
ing run through an entire summer
in New York without a break.
The author is Charles Klein, who
is also responsible for the Music
Master" and other well known sue
eesses. In THE Lion and the
Mouse" Mr.. Klein deals with one Of
the widely discussed topics Of the
hour-the influence welded in
American politics by the use Of
money. The dominant parsonage in
the play is John Burkett Ryder, the
acknowledged leader in the financial
world in which he is known as
Ready Money" Ryder. The cor
terie OF moneyed magnates Of which
he is the head has been halted in
its career by an adverse decision
rendered by Judge Rossmore, man
OF stern probity in the administra-
tion of the office TO which the peo-
pie elected him. In retaliation Ry-
der and his friends secure with the
aid of corrupt politicians Judge
Rossmore's temporary suspension
from the bench because of alleged
fraudulent practices. His daughter
Shirlty, summoned home from
Europe returns to find her father
dishonored, bankrupt and broken in
health. Ryder alone is in possession
of the proof of her fathers innocence
and she determines to secure 1t from
him. Through an ingeniously
plausible chain OF circumstances she
becomes member OF the Ryder
household winning the affection of
the family and becoming almost in
valuable as friend and adviser to
Ryder. She has concealed hec
identity under the name Of Shirley
Green. Her secret is known only to
Jefferson Ryder, the son of the
money king. Jefferson has fallen
love with Shirley whom he met on
the voyage from Europe. He is in
sympathy with her purpose though
its contamination means the defeat
Of his father. The struggle between
the lion" and the mouse" is rapid
~ approaching its climax when the
love story OF jefferson and Shirley
suddenly becomes known 10 Jeffer-
sons father. which climax suddenly
assumes a vital issue in the situa-
ton that Is striking1y but logically
dramatic. Mr.. Klein has brought
about the happiness Of shirley's ro-
nance and her triumph without
straining at the possibilities but with

PRESIDENT MET-couERNoRs.
Hold Conference for Three Days al
Washington.

Hold Conference for Three Days at
Washington.
Washington. The first conference
OF the governors Of the states of the
American union is ended. Like many
of the movements of history, time is
needed to reveal the epoch which the
president and the governors believe
has been made. The accomplishments
OF the conference, which has been in
session at the White House for three
days, can be set forth with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision. That its immediate
results are more than ample is the
expression of President Roosevelt,
who brought it about, and of the gov
ernors who participated.
The printed records of the confer
ence, which will later be available to
every American home, will be COM
pilation of facts, startling in their
meaning, convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion, that the states must
act and that the states and the nation
must cooperate to the end that to the
whole people of the nation may accrue
the lasting benefit of it's natural re-
sources. Besides the compilation of
facts by the experts and the freely ex-
pressed opinion of the governors, the
confer ence leaves as it's permanent
record thousand words OF ''declara-
tion.'' Not a declaration of indie
pendence," but declaration of CO.
operation"
Perhaps greater in Importance than
all else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect a
permanent organization whereby q
heretofore unknown organization may
be had among the executives of the
sovereign states, made strong by a
common purpose, and made potent by
announcements which may not lightly
be disregarded.
