The cause OF unsound and imperfect
teeth found among civilized people Is
due to two important facts-the preva-
lence of dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach troubles, and the food we eat.
In the foods that we eat there Is
lack of phosphates and other ma
terials necessary to make repairs and
supply the weste in the teeth.
Then again few people In civilized
countries are free from dyspepsia.

The charter OF the original

In 1879 they had secured a 30

Pingree contended that this was

Judge Taft decided In favor

money obtained under false pre-
lenses, he declares his belief In the
possibility of regulating capital.
II believe 1t is possible to enforce
the antitrust law, or new and
more specific law substituted for 1t,
so as to bring all capital within Its
provisions. I think that the viola
ton of the antitrust law Is by no
means 80 vicious as It was in years
gone by. l believe that men who are
honestly consulting counsel with a
great deal more care and anxiety to
keep within that law than ever be-
fore And that, my friends, Is a
most beautiful sign because there
were decades in this history when the
laws on the statute books OF the Unit
ed States were mere dead letters and
regarded with ridieule.
Nov we are going on tenaciously
to enforce our laws We are not going
to bring about a millennium. We are
still going to have dishonesty and vio-
lations OF the statutes, but we are 60
ing to have that which Is absolutely
essential to the enforcement OF the
law-the quickening OF the public con-
science"
Referring to the charges that have
been made that the panic OF last fall
was due to agitation and the passage
of legislation to reform the evils or
which he had spoken, Secretary Taft
Indignantly denied that such was the
case. As between the man who had
emphasized the illegality and dishon-
esty in corporate management and the
men who had been responsible for that
condition, he did not think II was
necessary to argue as to which was
responsible for lack OF confidence.
The primary election was referred
to shortly as the most important
agency toward the rule of the people.

speech was made by Ambassador JUS

In "Cheer. Boys, Cheer" the big Drury
Lane melodrama which the Burbank
will offer its patrons next week. How
many of these can be cut out without
interfering with the action of the play
do not know; but in addition TO the
speaking cast many supernumerarles
are required, and it is safe to say that
the piece will be the biggest in point
of numbers attempted by this company
in recent months.
Cheer Boys, Cheer is a naval melo-
drama Originally Mr.. Morosco plan
ned tc present ii during the visit of the
fleet Then he RECONSTRUCTED. The play
is English and the navy. of course,
flies the union jack instead of the Stars
and Stripes. Morosco decided that
even the existing entente cordiale
wouldn't warrant SO prominent an ex-
ploitation of R-itish naval valor at a
time when our own bluejackets are to
be in town and consequently he elected
to put the play on next week. lnciden-
tally the fact that it has been an
nounced for early production at another
stock house may have had something
to do with his decision.
Joseph de Grasse will leave the Be-
lasco company next week and Harry
Spear will return to his former posi-
ton as stage manager of the company.
When Mr.. de Grasse was engaged 1t
was feared that Hobart Bosworth' s
health would not permit of his continue
ing for long as stage director of the
company, and de Grasse was slated to
succeed him. Mr.. Bosworth, however,
has now rallied from his threatened in
disposition and will continue in charge
of the Belasco productions.

ing Miss Georges tour, was also in
London during those months, and so
well pleased was he with her success
that while there he arranged to submit
to English audiences for their approval
some of his attractions which had
found favor In the United States.
Way Down East will be one of the
offerings sent over, and Robert Mantell
will be given an opportunity to appear
in Shakespearean roles from his roper
toire. In making his plans for enter
ing the London field Mr.. Brady had an
opportunity to contrast the methods
obtaining there with the ones he is so
familiar with in this country. That he
is determined to become a factor in
English theatricals is further evidenced
by the contracts he made for Miss
Georges appearance again in London
next season. His observations, as fol-
lows, are quite interesting:

new play, in which Lillian AL
Il bertson has an important role,
seems to have scored the one big sue
cess of New York's waning theatrical
season. Critical opinion is unanimous
in favor of the drama which has now
settled down for run that is almost
certain to carry 1t we'll into the sum-
mer. The cast is small, the attendance
limited only by the capacity of the
theater at which the play is being
presented. All of which, of course,
means big profits for the management
as well as fame for the young play
wright and for the actors.
In this connection it may be of local
interest to know that John Blackwood,
manager of the Belasco theater came
within one hour of securing the play.
1t had been refused by half score of
producing managers before Blackwood
saw it. Walter then sent him the script
to read. He read it and despite its un-
happy ending saw its merit and be-
lieved 1t would go. Then he wired the
author asking him to name a price for
the play. BY wire back came a figure
Blackwood hesitated and that moment
of indecision probably cost him a for

acceptance of the terms offered, but
before his message was received, Mr.
Walter had signed a contract with

has precipitated a row between the
producing managers. the author and

which holds a contract with Walter
covering all the plays he may write

be threshed out In the courts.

from here to Panama, thence across

Murphy hasn't had much experience

ably lately. Some one succeeded in
selling him a horse that holds the long

OBSERVATIONS BY
A FIRST NTGHTER

IF you went to the Orpheum last week
you saw a charming young woman
n who, the program informed you,
was Miss Violet Dale, Americas fore
/ most mimic Miss Dale, however,
has aspirations beyond vaudeville and
mind above mimicry. She wants to
be a playwright and with the play
wrights stand. Moreover, being a
young woman who wants what she
wants when she wants it, she has al
ready taken steps toward the goal of
her ultimate ambition.
Miss Dale has written a play. Its
title is "Lasca" and its leading char
acter is a girl whose name is that of
the play and whose personality Miss
Dale herself hopes to realize upon the
stage.
Last Thursday this versatile young
woman submitted her play to Manager
Morosco of the Burbank theater. Mo-
rosco is a playwright himself as well
as a manager, and he was properly
sympathetic. He promised to read the
piece and to produce it. if it proved
suitable for the Burbank company's
uses.
Miss Dale made her exit and Mr.. Mo
rosco started on his literary labor. He
began at the beginning and he read
steadily through the first act. Then he
looked puzzled, turned back a few
pages and read it over again.
Don't just see how we can stage
this he remarked weariedly to Fidus
Achates Montrose. THE acts all right
but this climax presents difficulties
The playwright had brought her cur
tain down upon a scene unique in stage
annals: a stampede of maddened Mex
lean cattle. down by the Rio Grande."
If you ever saw a stampede of long
horns you can imagine how much
chance the scenery and stage hands
would have. There is, however. at
least one solution of the difficulty
moving pictures.
I dropped into a rehearsal of the
Ulrich players at the Grand the other
morning and found the wicked Miss
Hayward in tears. The sight was UNI
usual. Here was Lillian of the stony
heart-a woman who has committed
more crimes in the name of art than
the most prolific of composers of rag
time melody, fairly dissolved in lach-
rymal lamentation.
What is the matter?'' I asked, try
ing my hardest not to display appre-
hension. Has the Hawaiian cable
TT isn't that" she confded. It's
this nasty play. 1 have to be good. and
in the opening bill, too! It's a shame,
and l don't care. who knows it."
In 1.-THE Great Eastern World" which
the Ulrich company plays this week,
Miss Hayward has been cast as a per-
secuted Russian maiden. Can you inn
agine such a thing? She doesn't OPP
press anybody, but is herself most de-
spitefully used. She carries neither
dagger, gun nor poison, and she must
be meek under the lash.
When she had told me the whole,
horrible truth, l glanced stealthily to-
