The great mail order house of Sears, Robuck &
Company has been indicted by United States
Grand Jury for fraudulent use of the mails in
msrepresenting their goods. AS an example,
an analysis of their "Mixed Paints" claimed to
be "just as good" as your local dealer sells,
revealed the fact that it was composed largely
of whiting and water. Your home merchant
would not sell you any such stuff, he thinks too
much of his business reputation. You make no
money in the long run or short one either, in
trading away from home.

tion Of the forthcoming spectacular
production Of "Antony and Cleopatra"
which will be seen on Monday, March

play has been the admiration OF play

events OF her day, has remained
through centuries the inspiration OF
genius. The library, the picture gal

her marvellous personality. In order

music has not been neglected, a special

Miss Josephine Defiry with her COM

fourth annual engagement 10 Logan.
The emotional actresses Of the Amer.
lean stage are legion and range all the
way from Miss Deffry through Blanche
Walsh and Florence Roberts to Mar

One has many good reasons for placing
Miss Deffry rather low on the emo
tional ladder. She has the heaving
bosom (who that has seen her will not
testify to its amplitudep), the rolling
eye, the nervous fingers and the hoarse
voice that we associate usually with
feminine emotions OF the stronger va
rely, but her acting Is totally lacking
in ease, grace, and finesse. In the
virginia. wilderness OF a wedding
gown her ponderOus proportions are
simply ridiculous and fail to excite
any illusions. or all her emotion

Walsh, but a Blanche Walsh minus
talent and plus infinite flesh.
The engagement opened Monday
evening with 1.-THE Empire Against a
Woman" a translation of a French
melo.drama. In 1t Miss Deffry played
the part of a Spanish adventures at
the court Of Napoleon III. Though
her past Is evil she is redeemed by love
and to save her lovers fortune she
bulls the stock market with her own
fortune, and to save him from being
falsely accused Of treason she plunges
a papercutter in the back OF the base
accuser. Both these meritorious &C.
tions atone for her preliminary lack OF
virtue and the last curtain leaves her

methods appeared to best advantage
