TO BE DONE IN ENGLISH.

Mr.. Barrie's groundwork will be the
story Of Joan of Arc as it is told in
German, and the German department
of Harvard has asked Ny Frohman
that the play be done in English before
the students, since the whole affair is
an effort to stimulate interest in the
German dramatic literature, and this is
where Mr.. Barrie comes in.
The event at Harvard is, I am told,
to be a magnificent spectacle and the
first elaborate pageant ever done at an
American university.
Who could better design and execute
such q spectacle than the author of the
immortal and spectacular Peter PAM
And so IT is all settled. 1t will be the
first time Mr.. Barrie has undertaken
ing but his fee is Il high one.
Nobody will guess it, so. tell it
Thank you from Miss Maude A6-

-HE London correspondent of the
New York Herald, cables that
paper the following Interesting
- account Of how Maude Adams
has been spending her summer vaca-
ton:
About three months ago | gave you
the first authentic account OF MISS
Mauce Adams mysterious disappear
ance from the stage after her triumph
in The Little Minister, and Romeo
and Juliet" Up to that time everybody
wondered what had become Of her, and
continued to wonder until there ap-
peared in the columns of the Herald
the story of the life she had passed as
an inmate of a convent In Tours among
the simple and sanity lace makers IN
that province of France Wnere tne IN
est French Is spoken, chanted and
prayed
1t now becomes my pleasure to t.4ll
the world OF tho second chapter in the
mystical life OF that little lady; Last
June Miss Adams left New York Just
as she would like to travel always, un-
recognized, and arrived IN Queenstown,
on the good ship Mauretania, un-
heralded, lnanounced, and pretty much
unknown. From Queenstown, Miss
Adams Went direct 10 Dublin, lreland.
where, with woman companion and
maid. she settled herself in little
matched roof cottage among the pea
SAINTS.
TO rest? Not a bit OF it! But to begin
some real work Her season In THE
testers" and THE Twelfth Night" be-s
ing regarded by her as mere play; and
there She is now living with her books.
her friend and costant companion, her
plans and her ambitions.
HER SIMPLE LIFE.
IN little trips about the country; in
occasional visits up to Trinity College,
Dublin's glorious ana glorihed univer-,
sity. where they are now giving a sum
mer course of lectures on Egnlish lit-
erature and especially in chance talks
with the peasantfy. Miss Adams Is;
drinking in the finest thing Dublin has
to offer any traveller; its well Of Eng
lish indebted, for by common consent,
nowhere else on earth is there spoken
such excellent English as Dublin Eng
8lish, in accent, choice of idions, in-i
tonation and enunciation The best,
authorities agree that Dublin is the
capital of the English speaking world
when 1t comes to the most beautiful
handling of language.
Thatis one reason why Miss Maude
Adams went to Dublin, but only one.
The other reason happened just three
days after she got settled 1t took the
form of a'note to Mr.. Barrie. who was
in London, asking him to come over to
Dublin, and to which Mr.. Barrie re-
piled that he only regretted the dis
tance was not twice as far SO as to
prove his willingness.

WANTS JOAN OF ARC PLAY.
For several days Mr.. Barrie lived In
Dublin. He heard all about the plans
and ambitions of Miss Adams. She
wants Il play built upon the career OF
Joan OF Arc.
Two qualifications make Mr. j NJ.
Barrie the one man of all men to do
this work for Miss Adams. Mr.. Barrie
is a great writer, but. better stu, Mr.

on or about June 20, Miss Adams
will appear at Harvard University by
special invitation of the German de-
#partment of the university, and which
Mr. Charles l'rohnan has accepted in
her name. Miss Adams will play the
Joan of Arc" role that has always
touched her fancy and had for her a
mystical charm She is something of
q mystic herself. 50 it is small wonder
that the mystical minded Joan should
appeal so strongly TO her.

1t was the only course Mr.. Selig
could have persued. Had he entered
trial, of course there would have
been no evidence sufficient to convict
and acquitals or dismissals by the
court would have resulted.
The court told Mr.. Selig to file his
formal application for dismissal and
the dismissal would be ordered
Judge Wheeler, in pointing out the
defects of the application asked why
such stuff as the McAlister statement
should be put in such an application
He branded IL as trash Judge
ShackIeford at once declared that he
would not for II moment consider this

BLAME DISTRICT ATTORNEY

This afternoon officials of the
Good Citizenship League declared
that had District Attorney SeIig and
Deputy District Attorney Fry exert
ed themselves that these cases would
have come to trial either last term of
court or this term of court. "What
would have been done had these
cases been murder cases and the wit
nesses had been missing? Would
the cases have been dismissed? Isn't
il the courts duty to get the witness
es here for the prosecution? This
talk being done by the district at
torney's office that the Good Citizen
ship League failed to have the wit
nesses here is rot. 1t was their
place. not our place to have them
here this term of court. AT the last
term of court we brought these wit
nesses here, kept them here, paid
their expenses. The district attor-
ncy promised that these witnesses
should be paid witness fees or eN-
penses but this was not done. The
promise was not kept, and the dis
trict attorney consented to the cor
tinnance of the cases until this term
of court. We as good citizens, and
there are great number of the lead
ing citizens of Grand junction back
of the effort to have Justice done in
these eases, have done our hest but
IL has all come To naught. The de-
PENDANTS are guilty but what can we
do. The district attorneys office
has not acted fairly or straight
The above was the language of one
of the officials of the Good Citizen
ship League this afternoon in discuss
ing the case.
An Error i'm Name. r
When the district cnurt opapad
this morning. Newton Smith of De-
Beque. charged with making an as
sault on Flossie Martin, little girl,
was called. The defense was ready
for trial with Ben Griffith as the at
torney for the accused.
District Attorney Selig stated that
an error had been made in the infor-
nation and that ''the name of the
injured girl should be Bonnie Martin
instead of Flossie Martin
Attorney Griffith was surprised.
He stated that Smith had been ar
raigned and tried at a preliminary
on the charge of assaulting Flossie
Martin; that there is such n child,
and such charge had been made.
The defendant was ready to combat
that charge, and he didn't think the
district attorney had a right to make
n change substituting the name of
one child for the name of the other
The court allowed the change to
be made, and then gave Mr.. Griffith
until afternoon to prepare a defense
under the new information
The jurors We're excused until
pm. and little was done in court
during the remainder of the morning
session.
After the Good Citizenship League
cases had been disposed of this after
noon, the Smith case was again called
and Smith was arraigned on the new
information of injuring Bonnie Mar
tin.
The work of selecting the jury
then began.
The case will hardly be concluded
today.
Many people in the DeBeque coun-
try do not believe a conviction will
result and that Smith will prove his
innocence.
a number of little children, in
Guiding the child supposed to have
been injured and her brothers and
sisters, We're introduced as witnesses
in the case. Three of the children
are under 10 years of age.
The criminal docket of the present
term of court may be concluded to-
morrow.

day and saw hundreds turned away,
and watched the immense houses all
week, especially on Thanksgiving day.
So the announcement that its second
week begins with the Sunday matinee,
November 49, is merely the expected.
Ferris Hartman and his most excellent
bunch of singers have struck a popu-
lar chord, and the Grand has come into
its own. Everyone says good things OF
the Ferris organization--not to forget
the genial and witty Ferris himself
and the sprightly chorus, the elegant
costumes and the general air of beauty
and worth that envelops the opera,
All are most gratefully acknowledged
after a long absence of such much
wanted effects from this city. 1t seems
that Hartman has come at the psyche
logical moment for his season Of mu-
steal plays, and his company really
looks like 1.-THE goods"
ORPHEUM-With five news acts and
none of them ever heard before in Los
Angeles, the Orpheum post-Thanksgiv-
ing menu promises TO be anything but
the usual series of "warmed-overS" or
"comebacks.' In fact, it win outrank
the bill provided last week.
Heading the new bill comes George
Primrose, that monarch of all late min
strelsy, famous and beloved. Mr.. PriIn-
rose was induced 10 SillGl Ndu0CN hao
at the personal solicitation of Martin
Beck, and his engagement is limited to
fifteen weeks in the west. Assisted by
his -Four Dancing Boys" he will ex-
emplify the art of dancing, past and
present.
The Four Nightons are European
gymnasts from the Berlin Wintergar-
ten, and give one of the distinctly
big foreign acts secured for this house
They give an exhibition of herculean
strength and remarkable gymnastic
feats artistically staged. Their statue
poses are declared to be especially eff
fective and beautiful.
Alfred Kelley, assisted by Mathilde
Bottle, will present that clever sketch
by Edmund Day, the best of playlet
writer's, Uncle Phineas." The skit has
real artistic value aside from its merit
as a vaudeville offering. and it will be
the first seen here from the pen Of the
author of 1.-THE Roundup"
Another skit, of quite a different
kind, is "Happy's Millions" as given
by William Morrow, Verda Schellberg
and theiI company. This is a mining
town episode, and shows an authentic
reproduction of a street in Tonopah
Miss Schellberg is a Quaker school,
mistress in that unusual environments,
and the story has a hint of pathos as

HAMBURGER MAJESTIC-The at
traction at Hamburgers Majestic thea
ter during the week beginning Monday
night will be George AIDES comedy
Just Out of College There is some-
thing distinctly American in AIDE humor
whether in "Fables in Slang. Bird
Center" "The County Chairman"
1.-THE College Widow" or in his musical
comedies; and this same American
quality Is noticeable in his latest play.
The first act is laid in the office Of
the Pickering Perfect Pickle company;
the second at a pure food exposition
and the third in the waiting room of
a railway station. Here Mr.. AIDE intro
duces his audiences to the naughty
stenographer who rules the office; the
college boy with the perpetual "souse;"
the girl friend who tells every unpleas.
ant truth she can remember; the pro-
lessor of repose, who forgets his doc
trines when he Unexpectedly meets the
wife he has deserted; the down to date
business woman; the souvenir collect
or; the insurance agent; the news
stand girl; the man at the information
window who refuses to answer ques-
tions, and others.
Utilizing these dramatic personae,
Mr. AIDE is said to have constructed
a comedy of much humor Just out
of College, was originally produced st
the Lyceum theater, New York city.
This is it's first trip west. The origi-
nal production has been brought mere
intact and the several members OF the
company are said to be admirably suit
ed to their respective roles
Just Out of College, is a comedy
with music, not a musical comedy.
Its chief aim is fun, but there are
several musical numbers of attractive,
tinkling quality. Prominent in the cast
are William A. Mortimer, James Coo
per, Lester Crawford, William Hender-
son, Edward ]. Nugent. Neil 2. Burns,
Ethel Lloyd, Dickie Delaro, Maude
Vaughn, Mable Acker, Alice Endres,
Mary B. Henderson and Freda Han
biel. In all the company numbers
twenty-eight persons, together with
considerable number of extra players.
URBANK-Manager Oliver Moros-
co announces for presentation at the
Burbank theater this week, beginning
with matinee performance this ctter-
noon, 1.-THE Halfbreed," the remarkably
popular play written by himself in col
liberation with H. d. Cottrell. THE
Ha1fbreed" was first produced on any
stage at the Burbank in 1906, and ran

and Elsie Stoneman buys it in. The
Camerons consult with Gen. Nathan
Berford Forrest, the great Confederate
cavalry commander, who advises the
organization of the secret Ku Klux
Khan. The scalawag white governor OF
the state comes on the scene and starts
high-handed proceedings, arresting
both the doctor and Ben.
The first scene of the third act shows
the garden of the Cameron place near
sunset. Elsie learns that Ben is the
leader OF the Ku Klux, the organiza-
ton denounced by her father, and the
lovers part sorrowfully. The scene
ends with the alarm over the absence
of little Dora, Ben's sister, who has
been having a birthday party, and the
finding of her drowned body in the
river. The Clansmen, mounted and
armed, dash across the scene at full
gallop to help the Camerons, and If
Flora's murderer. In the next scene
these ghostly horsemen assemble at
midnight in their mountain cave, where
they perform their weird rites, and
after extorting a hypnotic confession
from the murderer, sentence him to
death.
The last of 1.-THE Clansman'' takes
place in the library of Silas Lynch, the
mulatto lieutenant governor of the
state. Lynch has forced the scalawag
Governor William Pitt Shrimp to dele
gate his authority to him, and with
austin SLOVENIAN out of the way, he
causes Ben Cameron to be condemned
to be shot by drumhead court-martial
Then Elsie Stoneman, who has refused
to testify against Ben and has avowed
her love for him, begs Lynch to save
the boy. With hellish ingenuity he
says he will do so only on condition
that she will marry him (Lynch). The
girl faints. Returning, Austin Stone
man enters and learns of Lynch's pro-
posal. Maddened, he tries first to kill
the mulatto and then himself. Lynch
sends for negro chaplain to perform
the marriage ceremony. At this mo-
ment the Ku Klux burst in the door.
headed by Ben Cameron, whom they
have rescued from the military, get the
drop on Silas Lynch and save the old
man and his daughter, Elsie falling into
Ben Cameron's arms. Stoneman re
penis of his efforts to convert the south
into a Hayti or Santo Domingo, and
goes back to Washington to undo the
terrible mischief he has wrought.
GRAND-Of course 1.-THE Idols Eye"
will run a second week at the Grand;
that was foregone conclusion to any
one who stood in the lobby last sun
