AIcazar

IN response to popular request the
AIcazar management has decided 70
present Soldiers of Fortune" at its
in his great role of Robert Clay. When
he played it in the old Alcazar his
success was SO pronounced that BE-
lasco & Mayer adopted the play, as a
vehicle for his starring tour. All over
tne western circuit the press critics
echoed the encomiums showered upon
the production by their San Francisco
contemporaries.
soldiers of Fortune" is Augustus
Thomas stage version of the story
similarly titled which was largely IN
strumental in bringing Richard Hard
interesting adventure. It's. scenes are
laid in an imaginary South American
republic where the usual revolution IS
IN progress, and the action Is evolved
through the efforts of Richard clay, a
young mining engineer, to protect his
American employers property from
threatening ruin between the belliger-
ent forces.
From first curtain rise until the play
is finished there Is not dull moment,
incident follows incident with rap1d1ty
and coherency and the audience ire
quently finds itself invoIuntarily ap-
plauding.
Clay is a type of the clean cut, wide
awake young American businessman
whom Davis knows so well how to
draw with accuracy, and his practical
sense is emphasized by contrast with
the Latin emotionalism and inherent
rascaiity of the men he is combating.
He beats them at their own games
and energies triumphantly from some
very ticklish situations into which the
fortune of war has dragged him. In
the last act 1t looks as if he and his
eompatriots are destined to be over
whelmed when the opportune arrival Of
the United States ship Detroit and
the landing of her gallant jackies
saves the day.
In the cast with Whittlesey will be
all the Alcazar favories and a host of
supernumeraries Bessie Barriscale has
an ideal ingenue part and equally we'll
suited are Louise Brownell Anita Mur-
ray, Howard Hickman, John 3. Maher,
Fred j. Butler, Will r. Walling, Burt
Wesner, Ernest Glendinning and Her
bert Farjeon. Each of the four acts
calls for an elaborate setting.

SURELY THIS IS DIVISION

Certainly there is division in tine
republican party. says the Commoner,
when republican newspaper is bold
enough to attack Andrew Carnegie. In
IL recent issue the Chicago Inter Ocean
(rep.) printed an editorial entitled Can
this Really he Andrew Carnegie" The
Inter Ocean editorial follows: p.
One shock after anoterh! A news
paper telegram comes from Los An
COLES, the capital of the incompatible
sun belt of glorious California, where
the thinking of righteous thoughts
reqires little of no effort Before touch
ing upon the writer of the magazine
article, it tells us that the Hon. Paul
Morton, formerly vice president in
charge of traffic of the Santa Fe rail
way, later secretary of the United
States navy and now president of the
Equitable Life Assurance society, u
recognized expert on all matters per-
tanning to the rebate, is there, and, of
course, talking.
''YOu knew" he was asked, THAT
rebates were given by the Santa Fe
rlilaoad system when you were it's first
vice president?' and, it seems, he re-
piled:
''The rebate proposition was built up
M matter of competition. Mr..
Carnegie, who poses as u philanthropist,
is one of the greatest rebate enthusiasts
the country has ever known. Every
one who knows about the steel industry
knows that"
This is by all odds the worst blow
we have received for some time. 1t
seems incredible that the Hon. Paul
Morton is speaking the truth. And yet,
if anybody knows, he knows, when it
comes to rebates and rcbaters But to
realize it is the difficult, almost impos-
siblc, thing!
Can this be the Andrew Carnegie who
is telling us in the magazines over his
own honored signature, that the rail
way management of this country for
many years past has been inexcusably
immoral? q.
Can this he the Andrew Carnegie who
has been telling us in the magazines
that Mr.. Roosevelt is right in tearing
mp the whole country to end the vicious
practices of the railways?
Can this he the Andrew Carnegie
who. by II slight extension of the aver
age imagination, may be seen to blush
with shame as duty to his adopted
country cOmpels him to pen magazine
articles dealing with the pernicious
methods of the railway magnates?
Can this be the Andrew Carnegie
who. after chilling us with fear, warns
us with faith by explaining that the
residuUm of national virtue of which he
himself is the foremost representative is
still potent factor among those in
huences which make for good, and that
the country may yet DC saved by the
exalted thoughtY
Is this the Andrew Carnegie who
endeavOrs to instill into our minds the
highest and most enduring precepts of
commercial integrity from month to
month, next to pure reading matter, in
the ten and even the fifteen cent
periodicals.? -,
Is this the Andrew Carnegie who de
clares that the thing for all of us to do
in these trying hours is to he Just and
fear not, to be virtuous if we would be
happy ...a
We are afraid that it is the same. and
none other; and that the picture that
presents itself to our troubled conscious.

Choral Society Gives Lovers
of Music a Distinct
Treat.

Another distinct success ha been
added TO the long list achieved by the
Choral Society IN its career, and Wash
inston nnusic-lovers have been made ac-
quainted with one OF the greatest works
In musical history. the Judas Nacca-
baeus" Of Handel.
This success was attained too at the
expense Of shattering the sOciety's ira
ditlons Of a century During all that
time the Christmas performance has al
ways bcen a presentation OF The Mes
siah." The society laid aside this mag
nihcent work last night, and gave in Us
stead HandeTs Judas Maccabaeus-'
An audience which dUed the Mas )nic
Temple auditorium heard the concert,
and the great measure Of appreciation
which it showed for The society's work
Justified at once the action of the board
of managers in changing the Christmas
bill and giving a work which proved a
distinct novelty 10 music lovers. ChOUIs
and soloists were fully alive 10 -htir
respective responsibilities, and the re-
suit was a welI-balanced reading Of the
work throughout.
One of the novelties OF the concert Was
the use Of the harpsichOrd, and Arnold
DOlmetsJn's performance Of the score
written for THIS quaint old instrument.
At the time Handel wrote this work the
piano was not known. and the OppOrtun-
ity for It's Inclusion in a concert OF the
society was one which gave music low
ers a look backward to the axe Of the
composer. and The conditions under
which the great work was written
Assisting the society were the Marine
Band orchestra, Mrs. Miriam Bangs Hill
ton of Washington, soprano, Mrs.
Ralph p Barnard. also of Washington,
Coutralto. Frank Ormsby. OF New York
tenor and Otto LUebkeTt. OF this city,

! tiOu was admirably proved last night IN
