Hard to Clear Path.
With greatest difficulty the Of
ficers cleared a path to te auto
mobile which had been stationed
near the door to convey DR.. Cook
into the city.
The crowds blocked all the
streets so that the machine was
forced to crawl along at a snail i
pace, while the police pressed
back the people in front, opening
Q Just space enough for the auto
to pass. The crowds closed In
behind and the machine seemed
to be running through a sea of
human beings.
Cook Overcome by Emotion.
DR.. Cook was overcome by emo
ton and as he looked out upon
the cheering throng, tears welled
through his eyes and he exclaim-
ed:
"Oh, isn't 1t splendid. never
expected such demonstrations.
at seems too much for what I
have done! This reception is the
best reply that can be made TO
my envious DISCLAIMERS"
1t was a continuous triumphal
procession as the world has never
seen accorded to a returning ex-
plorer or scientist.
Throng Surround Hotel.
A dense throng surrounded the
Phoenix hotel on every side be-
fore the automobile bearing DR..
Cook arrived. All along the route
the great explorer bowed to the
thousands who cheered him.
The people went wild with en-
thusiasm.
The only scenes I have eve-
witnessed that approached the
demonstration here today were
some of the receptions accorded
to Roosevelt in America when he
was at the height of his popular
fly.
Officially Welcomed.
AT the hotel DR.. Cook was well
coined officially by Minister of
Commerce Hansen on behalf Of
the Danish government.
A party OF distinguished men,
representing many nations tonigh:
drank to the health OF the dis
coverer Of the North Pole in
champagne.
Following the reception Cook
appeared on the balcony in re-
Spouse to the insistent demand Of
the populace. He was greeted by
another tremendous round of
cheers and cries for a speech.
II have had too hard a time
getting here to make speeches, de-
clared the explorer. SCI simply

put my foot first on Danish soil
upon my return trip"
His Clothes Are Torn.
A remarkable evidence of the
enthusiasm of the crowd was
shown by the way DR.. Cooks
clothes were torn in a dozen
places when he reached the hotel
after the trip from the ship.
After the public reception he
went to his room to rest, but was
summoned to appear before King
Frederick at 3 O'Clock.
DR.. Cook was greatly emIbarr-
assed because of his lack OF a
suitable Costume In which to APP
pear before his majesty, but when
the king heard of this he sent tbs
following message.
'sTell DR.. Cook to come anyway.
Tell him to wear his hunting suit.

that dress than In dress costume. 2

Theater.goers of Detroit are FORUM
ate in having the opportunity so soon
again 10 witness a return engagement
OF the Bourget play, Divorce" which
received it's first presentation in the
United States here. Nov. .. In its in
tellectual appeal, its well-dcveloped
arguments i'm lifc-results OF the work
ings of divorce, its finished literary
quality and best OF all. the uniform
strength OF the cast, the play is one
OF the most enjoyable That has appear
ed at the. theater during the season.
In Divorce" Bourget has shown
that we may have problem plays with
out nastiness, drama that appeals TO
the reason as we'll as to the emotions,
without losing popular interest or pat
ronage. The audience that attended
the performance Thursday evening
filled the house TO capacity and the
exceptionally fine acting OF the mem
bers of the company was rewarded by
the intense interested aroused, as
shown by frequent applause. This
went to the extent OF display OF part
sanship in the strong scene In which
Albert Darras, played by John Glen
dining, accuses the priest, portrayed
by Eben Plympton, of disrupting his
household.
Some slight rough places that were
noticeable-in the earlier production
have been worn away now. The work
OF Miss Marion Terry is worthy or
especial mention, her emotional act
ing being OF the highest quality. Miss
Ida Conquest has a difficult part, but
she makes II rich one. Miss Julia
Hanchet is also a capable actress
whose work Is artistic and finished In
every detail. Vincent Serrano gives
us wonderful study Of supersensi-
tive, overconscientious youth, the son
OF a divorced mother, whose rebellion
Is her punishment.
Divorce" is a deep presentation OF
the problem which its name signifies.
it's significance going below the super
cialities to the vital underlying human
principles. That it's brilliant author
has left us without a satisfactory So
luton OF the problem which he raises
is the only possible adverse comment.

is enriched with wealth OF lines that
are exceptionally fine.
The engagements includes matinees
