'Drusa Wayne" stirring story
of love and adventure, will be the
Offering Of the Columbia Stock Co.
for the week beginning Sunday
evening, with the usual Saturday
matinee. The story. which is one
of the struggles of man who has
recklessly sacrificed his position
in life for the love of gambling and
drinking. to regain his lost posi-
ton. has plenty of heart interest
without the melodramatic appeals
usually made in plays of this cast.
The piece will be staged under the
personal supervision Of Willis A.
Hall, who has made a decided hit
in the leading place in The Mas
ter Workman" this week. The play
calls for staging of an unusual or
der, the four acts being set in en-
tirely different parts of the globe.
The first act Is set in Montana,
the second in Cuba, the third in
Newport and the fourth III New
York Owing to the fact that the
scenery and costumes for why

s a Gem on HolU
To Make Good

II you are ambitious to shine in
vaudeville here is an expert tip
right off the. bat from Manager
George Blakeslee, who forgets
more about the business every
night than the average citizen ever
has a chance to learn. Listen to
him.
vaudeville Is a world by itself.
Democracy is its slogan. You may
have the greatest theatrical reputa-
ton and yet be no more respected
than the merest beginner. Vaude-
vile has one rule: make good. II
you can stand on your head In a
new way, or put your feet In your
breast pocket: II you can sing a
song a little better than someone
else, or introduce a new step in
your dance, then you have right
to perform. Novelty Is the secret"
And George might have added
just as well that it Is the man or
woman with the new idea and the
ability to make good with 1t. that
reaps the cash and glory In every
other line.

COURT MAR7IALS WITH
BOB EVANS BIG FLEET

MAGDALENA BAY, March 21.-
BY Dispatch Boat Orient.-Special
Correspondence Dec. to
March IL, on cruise of 1920
miles, among $4,000 American naval
men, the court martial has been in
session but five times and, be it
said, Rear Admiral Evans feet is
practically on war footing and
there has been no disposition tow
ard lienency or lack of discipline
enforcement.
Court martial are words that
make even the naughty officers
tremble in their boots. 1t is no
pleasing sensation to be hailed be-
fore court composed Of three
stern rear admirals and nine cap
tains and commanders and explain
the why's and wherefores Of mis-
conduct.
Just before the fleet steamed into
Magdalena bay the court martial
sat in the case of Dr. John M.
Moore, appointed from Virginia,
with grade Of sergeant and rank of
commander and who has served in
the navy for II years and performed
conspicuous service on the Raleigh
during the Dewey excitement in
Manila bay.
DR.. Moore was charged with in
toxication. He was ordered ashore
at Callao, to attend banquet,
which event proved a convivial af-
fair and detained the doctor until
a. m. According to testimony be-
fore the naval court the dignified
young physician looked rocky"
when he stepped aboard the Kan
sas at a. m. 1t happened that a
number of searien saw the doctors
wabbling legs and this added to his
indictment the clause, conduct to
the prejudice of good order and dis
cipline."
The court deliberated for nearly
two hours, advising on various de-
grees of punishment, and finally
fixed the verdict as guilty, and Dr.
Moore was dismissed. Rear Admir-
al Evans ordered him sent home on
the first dispatch boat. Moore has
an appeal for Communication of SEN
tence to the president, who is the
thirteenth member of all court mar

of a frost at the theater, but got
an ovation from the sports when
he entered the ring to referee the
