"DAMFINo," HE SAID.

The ending of act III Of IA Gen.
tleman from Mississippi" is already
famous, here as elsewhere al.
though the comedy will be acted In
this city for the first time next Fri.
day night, in the Auditorium. Like
many Of the happiest Incidents in
the drama Of all times, that third
act climax-at least the "tago or
final exchange of dialogue-was
the outcome of sheer chance.
Neither Thomas A. Wise nor Har-
rison Rhodes, the authors oof the
play, had hit upon definite speech
for the curtain" to the act, when,
about a week before rehearsals he
gan. the former was consulting
with William A. Brady. Mr.. Brady
ran loosely through the manuscript
of the play, calling attention to a
line here, a speech there. He
turned at length to the end of act
III and noted that it was incom-
plete.
"Tom," he said, your last speech
in act III is Langdon's threat to
Peabody, with a reference to some
thing dire at 1880 tomorrow
That will hardly do as an ending.
What cd you propose to say there
to get the curtain down? :
"Damfino!" yelled Brady.

PANTAGES

"The Nymph of the Sea-" by
Mazda and company, at the Pan
tages, is one Of the leading theat-
rical attractions Of the week. Beau
tiful stage effects make the act
most of what it is. The Doric trio,
introduced as real singers Of real
SONGS" is also scoring a success,
and Is called on to answer to many
an encore. One more of the leading
features at the Pantages is the
Three Demons" who continue to
interest their audiences and some
times awe them with daring cycl-
ing feats on rapidly revolving
platform. The management of the
house is offering a 5000 prize to
any one in the audience who will

WASHINGTON

"A Breeze From Bonnie Scot
land" is a short explanation of the
entertaining oddity presented by
the Merry McGregors, who are ap-
pearing at the Washington this
week. This number is one Of the
most amusing and pleasing that
has ever been offered in this city.
1t is replete with Scotch songs,
dancing and real humor, and 1t is
interesting to the man or woman
of other nationalities as to those Of
Scotch ancestors. It's artistic con-
struction, beautiful scenic effects
and novel theme have made it
prominent among the notable ac-
complishments of vaudeville. Each
member of the company is thor
ough artist in the line of entertain
ing and their work shows the re-
suit Of careful training. Bissonette
and Newman offer some remark
able balancing feats.

nounced as his theme the trite
phrase, Getting Married" He
said:
"The bible says, He that findeth
q wife findeth good thing You
notice that it says, 'findeth,' not
'chooseth.' There's a great element
of chance In marriage, like pros
pecting for gold, or investigating a
hornets nest.

young man, don't marry girl
whose epitaph will be written: She

Forest Fires to Be Watched from
Lookout Stations on Mountain Peaks

Working along the line Of securing
the greatest results in protection
against fire, with minimum Of eH-

cided TO establish on the most advan-
tageous points Of the national forests
IN the west series Of lookout sta
tions from which news of the break
ing out OF forest fires can be tele-
phoncd to forest officials.
Since all of these stations viii com
mand WOW Of the country for miles
around, the work of detecting and e1-
tinguishing fires in their incipiency
will, by this plan, be greatly expedited,
with the result that many thousands
OF dollars worth OF valuable timber
will be saved annually.
In most of the national forest states
the climate is very dry, and the rain
fall light, Conditions, therefore, arc
remarkably favorable for the spread Of
