OoKING out OF the back window
the eye rests on dull red bricks,
unsightly scars cut in the clay
80 that has rested undisturbed
lieaRuI for untold ages, slender steel
- columns rising straight towards
We blue sky above, and busy workmen
restlessly engaged in shaping all into the
promise OF the plans. And this unlnviting
scene Is the genesis OF a new theater. Some
little imagination is required to shape the
formless chaos OF the present into the
beautiful structure the architec has pic
tured in his drawings. and yet one knows
that out Of the confusion will come order
and that very soon all that is now unat-
tractive will be hidden and the eye will
see only that which is charming The
present appeals to the imagination, though,
and fancy peoples the place with crowds
of well dressed men and women hurrying
through the broad entrance to bestow
themselves amid the light and luxury
within. The foyer. with its warmth and
beauty, beckons on to the, auditorium
where parquet and gallery. balcony
and boxes, promise the comfort one seeks
at the theater. Soft lights and rich colors
blend In tender harmony, and the senses
are soothed by the sensuous charm Of the
scene. Music appeals to the awakening
imagination and the sordid things of life
outside float away on the waves of
sybaritic pleasure that lull the restless
mind into dreamy content. The play is
on; no matter what IL Is about. The
actors strive TO rouse us to see things as
they see them. The deepest OF life's hid
den springs are touched and the shallowest
of the surface emotions are aroused. We
laugh and cry; our hearts swell with in
dignant rage, or burst with overweening
pity. and all the strings OF our nature are
played upon by the skillful touches of
artists who know just how TO search out
and set to vibrating the chords we for
get in the hurry Of the day. The curtain
drops, the orchestra plays a occasional,

of p~erson-or, perhaps, from such danes

beyond precedent, in it's intellectual eff

sensitive of all artists-for the obvious and

publicist to use his pen, freely and poten-

and abuse. Yet the vocation has it's recon-

grows bleak and lonely, 1t is the rightly
governed stage that gives relief from
tedious conventionality and dreary routine;
it is the stage. with its sunshine Of humor
and its magic art to open the boundless
realm of imagination, that lures us from
care and sorrow, from defeated ambitions,
waning fortunes, and the broken idols and
darkened hopes OF vanished youth. Happy
are the dreams 1t has inspired and fos-
tered. Noble are the ideals II has impaired
and nourished. Gentle. tender, and ever

give the show more speed. They had to
reckon with a musical score which is
ornamented with several really fine num-
bers, all of which were saved. With the
latitude Of bracing the show they wrote
several new specislties, which went a long
way toward giving The Alaskan a fly
Ing start in Chicago. Chief of these Is
"Snowballing, which is the advertising
number of the show. To SNOWFALL with the
Esquimo girls came to be a privilege and
a rare one. The snowballs are of light
yarn, and a well directed shot can not
even dlslodge a mans eyeglasses, while
the ball itself can be thrown over fifteen
rows of seats. The combats during the
Chicago run became so strenuous that 1t
took the combined efforts of the Chicago
and New York National league ball teams
to drive the Esquimo girls to cover for the
first time. The number has never failed
of half a dozen encores. Mr.. Carroll and
Mr.. Weinburg have the prominent comedy
positions, Mr.. Carroll as a theatrical man
ager with a troupe on his hands, and Mr..
Weinburg as a German naturalist in
charge of a wealthy niece, and also on an
exploration tour Of Alaska. The other es-
sential characters will be assumed by Det-
mar Poppen, who plays Totem Pole Pete;
Lawrence Coever, who is the. hero of the
story; a mining prospector named Atwater,
Jessie Stoner, the heroine, who has
"grub-staked" the mining pals, Atwater
and Totem; Kuko, an Esquimo girl, des-
tined to surrender to the wiles of the
theatrical manager, and played by Eta

ates a polar bear, direct guardian of Kuko,
