Knox Note pinmIssed.

Washington, Dec. 2-There Is reJoic- ing today In the ranks of the Nicara- guan insurrectionary party and cor responding gloom among those who Zelaya. .-,
 The cause is the ultimatum handed down by the United States to the Nicapaguan government and is con tained in the note which accompanied the passports delivered by Secretary of state Knox to Felipe Rodriguez. charge d'affaires of the Nicaraguan legation.
 The strength of the note and It's personal tone are the subjects of much comment in diplomatic circles. It is generally recognized that the United States has decided the time has come to put an end to further attacks on American line and interests in Cen tral America.
 The far reaching Sffect of the note Is a matter of especial comment. The fact that President Zelaya Is ap- parently to be held responsible for the murder so-called of the two Amerl- cans, Groce and Cannon. and that the note intimates that Zelaya Is the cui- prit. put a sting to the situation. Almost feverish interest in the next step of this government Is manifest.
 
 fully prepared note dictated by Secre- tary Knox is seen Q warning to the Central American republics that they must behave and conduct themselves as other countries in the Western hemisphere conduct themselves. This and the direct announcement that the United States intends the family of Western republics to live harmonious- ly. is believed by diplomats. to be epochal. The Monroe doctrine has at- tained. In the eyes of the diplomats, a new dignity.

 The note is generally regarded as one of the most scathing documents issued from the state department in many years.

CLYDE FITCH.

CLYDE Fitch. whose fiftieth play, a
comedy called Girls viii be the at-
traction at the salt Lake theatre for
three nights and Wednesday matinee
commencing Monday night has haG an
interesting time Of it since he began
writing for the state. He was Richard
Mansfeld's secretary when ne wrote
Beau Brummell.' - his first attempt az
plavwriting, and his success was the
more remarkable. as he was then
sim young man in his early tWentles
Following this play, in which Mr..
Mansfield was so successful, he wrote
His Grace de GrammOnt' and Fred
eric lemantre." both of which made
successes. But for some unknown and
unacCountable reason the managers
who had so warmly greeted the young
PLAYWRIGHT suddenly became wary and
for eight years he besieged their Offices
in vain Finally he prevailed upon a
manager to produce The Moth and the
Flame" and from that time on Mr.
Fitch has steadily gained in popularity.
until now he has furnished the Shu-
berts with Girls" which has enjoyed
a longer New York run than any COM
edy attraction ever offered the play
goers of the metropolis.
Mr.. Fitch provided Ethel Barrymore
with a eongenisl vehicle when he wrote
Captain jerks" and Lovers Lane"
and THE Girl and the Judge" are listed
among his fortunate efforts. The Girl
With the Green Eyes" and THE Truth
were both received warmly. and Clara
Bicodgood gained much of her stand
ing as an actress in these two pieces.
Some of Mr.. Fitch's fiat failures are
of recent times. His "Toddles" and
THE House Of Mirth' both failed %
reach the goal of success. 'tWolfville

"The Bows of Company g."

Paul Gilmore, who will appear at the
Colonial starting tonight in THE Boys
of Company B. by Mrs. Ryda Johnson
Young. is admittedly a popular actor,
but the general public knows little OF
his phases aside from his art. To his
intimates Mr.. Gilmore is a source of
endless enjoyment with his quick rep
artee, his gift for fine witticisms, his
capacity for rapier-like thrusts in
friendly debate; to his less intimate
friends he is wholly delightful and easy
and graceful of manner. He is the best
sort of companion at a dinner party,
and his presence is always sufficient to
keep things bright and lively. Though
he loves his art dearly, and thinks al
most necessarily Of methods for i'm
provement. Mr.. Gilmore finds rare de-
light in social intercourse. 1t would
seem that his nomedic life of the mimic
world. travelling across the continent
year after year. would stunt his desire
for intimate circles. but, on the con-
trary. this nomadic life has, If any
thing. increased his desire for the
pleasure of these. Paul Gilmore is hu-
man; that tells the whole story Like
every normal man or woman. he likes
to be among his friends, and he likes
to give his friends enjoyments With
ltAS HCluAaetA ttAA Att dltt Dc1Hlts
he has made personal friends in many
of the cities he visits annually. and so,
while he is journeying far from home
he is still. in a broad sense. among
friends who swear by him and who
strive to bring him social pleasures. II
has been said that Mr.. Gilmore receives
more attentions Of q social nature than
any other actor. Guest of honor at
after-theatre dinner is q usual role with
him. Unlike other actors who claim
to have no time for matters outside
their theatre affairs. Mr. Gilmore finds
time to meet and mingle with friends
and admirers and. what is more, he
does not lose weight through loss of
sleep. The public knows how charm
ing. how magnetic he is on the stage:
well. he is equally likeable out of the
theatre. He IS an actor who is as much
a man. and he never forEets.
