SHOW is APPRECIATED.
Big Crowd at kerredgc Sees Presenta-
ton of "a Stubborn Cinderella"


A lively and pretty musical piece
with a plot of considerable interest,
and given by strong company beau
tifully costumed and with striking
scenic setting, was "A Stubborn Gin
derella." The pranks of the college
boys and the goods made a big hit.
and the choruses representing Mexican
girls, bathing girls and others, were
most gorgeously attlred and did some
remarkable dances. Homer Mason as
Mac" and little Miss Kennicott as
Lady Leslie were especially good in a
cast of more than average ability. The
latter was girlish and graceful ana
impaired her own charming personal
ity to the role she was giving. The
character of Mac" was a strong one
also and one that appealed to all. "rhe
dream minuet'' i'm the third act, sup
posed to have been dreamed by Lady
Leslie after Mac has told her OF the
story of Cinderella by the lonely hre
in the mountains while the Sunset
flier is stopped by an accident, is one
of the prettiest bits of stage business
ever seen here i'm a musical comedy
and greatly pleased the audience III
the fervor of the applause is a criterion,
everything in the production pleased
and there is no doubt but that there
will be another large house on mana TO
see the performance this evening, when
the play will be presented again.

regularly and temporarilyBe& hvao
regularly and temperately, practice
daily. and never sing when indisposed
or unhappy.
The human voice, however, when
once developed and assured, can be
made to assimilate the emotions that
singer may not feel Students I'M
familiar with vocal art invariably
fail TO realize that song really comes
from the mind, the voice being an in
strument played upon by the will as
the player operates the piano
The elements of the art must first
be thoroughly understood. Great care
should be exercised in the selection of
a teacher. Many good voices have
been irreparably ruined by being mis-
directed. The secrets of voice produc-
ton, tone building, articulation and
the several variations of manner and
Interpretation are accomplishments
that only experienced singers can i'm
part.
If you feel that you have voice, no
matter what your lack Of knowledge or
training may be, you owe II to man
kind to develop il. Some of the worlds
greatest artists have been people who
at the outset of their careers never
suspected their possession of this
priceless treasure. No two voices are
alike. Beginners should remember
this and be careful never to attempt to
initiate with view to permanent
adoption the voice quality or manner
of another singer. Rudimentary and
even advanced pupils should not make
a habit of accompanying themselves
when practicing If 1t is possible to OBJ
tain the aid OF a pianist.
For the young singer one of the first
essentials is to be over the self con-
seriousness that invariably disturbs the
vocal poise of most beginners unac-
customed to public audiences. over
come this timidity by seeking public
hearing. 1t is all part OF profess
sionaTs equipment the ability to face
an audience of 1000 or 10000 with per-
feet self-possession. The ease with
which nervousness may be overcome
in this way will vary, of course, with
different shades of temperament.
And now for a final important bit of
advice for the pupil who intends to be-
come a public singer Do not vary to
any considerable degree your manner
of singing in big auditorium from the
volume and manner exercised in your
own music room. A common and most
Injurious mistake of singers appearing
in public for the first time is to believe
that a large auditorium means neces-
sarily a correspondingly large volume
of voice. When you face an audience,
it doesn't matter where ii is, how
small or how large. sing naturally, ex-
pressing the beauty of the melody
with all the art and feeling in your
being Before you appear be sure that
you have mastered not only the tech
nique of singing. but that you under
stand also the mental elements enter
ing into your art. Fortified with these
convictions face your audience conf

NATIONAL GAME OF BLUFF. ::
Washington the Center of the
Circle of MAKE Believes"


:.
Everybody in Washington pretends
he is on the most intimate terms with
somebody just a little bit higher In
society, and nearly everybody has to
run In debt to keep up the bluff. At
the top of the social scale is the diplo-
matte corps. who are supposed never
to have to worry about money, and
who spend all their time talking to
pretty women and giving dinners. Bless
your simple little heart, if you could
only look behind the scenes and see
some of the diplomatic bluffs IL would
open your eyes! The diplomats all
bluff each other, and each minister
tries to make all the others believe
that he is the one man whom the pres
ident really likes. And there are very
few of them that don't economlze when
society isn't looking. And hash is
hash, whether in an embassy or five
dollar-a-week boarding house.
1t is the women who are the great
est buffers in Washington, because
they are all crazy to be in society, and
most of them have nothing to do but
amuse themselves. They come to
Washington thinking that, because
their husbands are congressman or
government officials, the presidents
wife is going to chum with them and
diplomats will ask them to dinner two
or three times a week. And when they
have been in Washington a week or
two, and find out that they are very
small toads in a very big puddle, they
begin to bluff. They make the other
people at the boarding house sit up and
take notice when they talk about din
ner at the White House and tea at the
embassy. which they know about as
jwell as most people in Washington do,
strictly from the outside, for the up
been properly presented" to them, and
don't waste their time on the board
ing house crowd.
And so it goes up and down the
scale. Society in Washington is like
a pousse cafe, where each ingredient
is in a compartment by Itself. The
congressman who lives on his salary
isn't i'm it with the congressman who
married a rich wife and has a big
house. The senator is higher than the
congressman, but, unless he has mon
ey, he doesn't count for much. The
member OF the cabinet is way up, and
he can work the bluff best of all, for
everybody has to be good to him, and
there are any number of people who
would be only too glad to pay his rent
if he would agree to invite them to
dinner once a week.-Spencer Harley,
in January Smart Set

other is downtown loop extending
out Mill street to Thirteenth avenue,
thence east to Eighth street, south to
Eighteenth avenue, east to Seven
teenth, and north to connect
with the Watch Tower line;
another is to run a line out one
of the east end streets to the bluff and
loop around by connection with Thirty
eighth street, thus affording service to
the arsenal and new east end factory
district.
The franchise for the building of the
Long View line was given with the
condition that the loop would be COM
pleted, so much to be done each year.
The franchise was granted to the com
pany while it was controlled by local
capital. Thus the failure to connect
up the loop in the line referred to can
be accepted by the public as nothing
short of a breach of faith

through the city council, insisted on

ment. During a portion of the day
there is a semblance of regularity in
the schedule maintained on the Long
View line, but during the buster hours.
between 8 and s O'Clock. the service
is joke. 1t is the poorest furnished
by. the company on any line in the tri-
cities. What the public demands s
the completion of theloop, in accordance
with the promise of the old company
and the placing in commission of at
least another car, and thereby guaran-
teeing to the people who depend on
the line to carry them a reasonably
regular schedule.
Many men living in the western part
of the city are employed in the fac
tories in the east end factory district.
Other factories are to rise there. THESE
men should not be compelled to walk
