Sleep is Impossible If the nerves are

Eye troubles are often the result of

If you have never tried it, you
most certainly should, it is the latest
idea in decoration and fancywork.
Stenciling on fabrics gives very pleas
ing results, as you can make such
attractive presents for your friends or
you can beautify your home with
artistic curtains, pillow covers, table
covers, etc.
Stenciling is not hard to do, you
can learn how very easily. The
chief requisite is to get the right
materials to work with = colors that
will be clear and brilliant and will
remain fast in the fabric when it is
washed.

How Morris Made Good

New York.-At his plain, flat-top desk.
American Music hall, in West Forty-sec-
Ond street, New York, there sits daily,
planning. and smiling, a man who has
built up an entirely Independent vaude-
vile circuit to cover the whole United
States
That man is William Morris-Morris.
''The Independent" who in the American
Music hall, this city, gives weekly DEM
onstratiOns of his vaudeville belligerency.
Independence is as characteristic of his
personality as it is of his circuit of the
aires. Within a year and half, this mil
liant manager. with a capital that con-
sisted of little else than his experience
and that flat-top desk. laid the foundation
of his present success, by obtaining the
lease of the old American theatre in New
York City.
He was soon so firmly allied with for
tune and opportunity, and fortified with
friendships of financial value, that in this
comparatively brief period he has become
the controlling spirit and unhampered di-
rector of a business organization which
controls a circuit of first-class vaudeville
theatres extending from coast to coast,
and from gulf to gulf, and even beyond,
the Canadian bcrder-in all, nearly half
a hundred theatres.
Briefly this is the history of William
Morris. the man who many prophesied
would meet failure in his monumental I'M
dertaking within thirty days after he
started his opposition to them. When he
had successfully established himself in
the thriving east, Morris made the an
nouncement that within six months he
would invade Chicago the vaudeville
stronghold of the middle west.
Again he proved himself prophet. He

Not more than a fortnight ago, while

one of his solos received four encores.

The Penalty of Being a Star

Elsie FergusOn-our Elsie-thus de-
scribes the penalties imposed on her
since her elevation to the rank of
stars. She has had eighteen different
plays to consider, from ambitious dra-
matists-some bad and others indif-
ferent. Let her tell the story;
Il haven't had time to read them
all, and 1 don't propose to do so. At
glance one can tell if the pieces are
worth reading. Sometimes they are
worth more than the time consumed in
perusing them, for the plots, intended
to be serious and dramatic, are so
funny that they make me laugh so
heartily that l have to stop reading,
for fear of hurting myself"
Just then the letter carrier blew his
whistle and a boy brought in several
letters, all but one being bulky MSS. .
"Oh, here are some more plays :"
Miss Ferguson exclaimed. Il wonder
when this will ever end. 1t is getting
to be tiresome-eXcept perhaps to
Uncle Sam, who makes money on the
postage stamps that are used in send
ing the plays. forth and back. They're
all going back.
The plot of one of the plays is per-
fectly silly" said the latest star of the
Great White Way and its side streets.
It's about a hero who isn't human
being used to be an inhabitant of this
mundane sphere, and was a Knight
Templar in the crusade of Dick, the
Lion Hearted.
But the ghost does not like the
missionary, having a soul mate in the
person of Letitia Allen. She is a To-
mantle, giddy young girl, whose soul
delights in the sublimity of Shelley
and Byron's poetry, but whose nimble
fingers, for reasons unnecessary to ex-
plain, tap the keys of a typewriter ir

THE SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. SUNDAY
RARE LITERARY TREAT
Salt Lake People Will Have an OPP
portunity to Hear a Celebrated
Woman Reader.

What Denver people think of Harriet
R. Labadie, who viii appear in Barratt
hail Tuesday night under the auspices
of the University of Utah, is voiced by
the Denver Post as follows:
In the auditorium OF the Woman's
club last evening one OF the finest lit
erary treats of the season was enjoyed
by a large audience when Harriet r.
Labadie of Philadelphia gave the Archer
translation of Ibsen's "A Dolls House, P"
for the benefit of the Home League or
phanage. The reader is by far the best
that has been heard in Denver this year.
This particular play is considered one of
the most difficult to translate on ac-
count of the widely different characters
which are introduced. Mrs. Labadie
possesses an exquisite voice. 1t has
beautiful quality, and in every imper-
sonation, from the childish tones OF
Nora to the strong ones of Hjalmar, it
was perfect. 1t was rich, sympathetic
and sweet. As an actress the reader was
wonderfully clever, and played every
part capably. She has the gift of per-
sonal magnetism and interested the au-
dience throughout the reading. Mrs. La
babe is the president of the Browning
society and the Speakers club in Phil
adelphia, where she is popular in socie-
ty and literary circles. She is touring
the world. This evening King Henry
VIII" will be given in the auditorium
of the Miss Wolcott school.

to which end he boosts the hero in
the eyes of the missionary. But the
hero ghost does not like the rescuer
of purgatOrial souls, so there is no
possibility Of a compromise between
them. The villain finds this out and
invents an electrical device out of a
foot of copper wire and ton of in
sane ingenuity, which will kill the
ghost when he comes on the scene.
This actually happens to the nerO-ne

titia, while the missionary marries a

Another play submitted to me has
the pathetic title, Broken Hearts
The tale is about a beautiful young
girl whose parents die, simultaneously
when she is 10 years old. At that age
she receives several proposals of mar
riage, but rejects them, also a few
hundred more that come her way while
she Journeys through life eight years

Told of Eugene CowLes

edward H. Crosby in Boston Globe)
Years ago, the number doesn't matter,
when the opera organization known as the
Bostonians had reached the early stages
of its operate glory, young man came
into the ranks from somewhere over in
Canada, bearing a certificate of good
character, and also as being the possess
sor of a great bass voice. The letter
mentioned that his name was Eugene
COwles, a fact that startled no one, as
no one in Boston had heard of him be-
fore. 1t may be apropos to remark that
while the young man was born in Can
ada, somewhere near Toronto, his par
ents were from old Vermont, and so were
a long line of ancestors before them.
The young man was put to work by
Barnabee, Mcdonald and Karl, and that
ne had a remarkable bass there was no
gainsaying, but his attempts at acting
were quite another matter. 1t is diff
ferent nOw-and, truth to tell, there was
some difference from the very beginning
He worked indefatigibly to get a mastery
over face, hands, arms, legs and feet.
He became one of the first among opera
figures of the time. When disaster over
took the Bostcnians, Cowles crossed the
ocean and captured some of the old coun
tries by his exploits in concert and opera.
He admits. however. that Clement Scott
nearly drove him out of London through
an effulgence of pure good will. Mr..
Scott was at that time critic on the Free
Lane. and ne wrote:
''Where shall you find such a grand,
melodous basso, and such a splendid
picture of a man as Eugene Cowles, actor

10" Chorus DIFFERENT
Only Few of the Thirty-Two Girls
Have Ever Been on the
Stage Before.

In the ordinary musical comedy there
are always from d dozen to thirty eho-
rus girls. Usually some of them are far
from pretty, few of them can really
sing, less than half betray any intelii-
gence or comprehension Of the ideas
and business they are supposed to be
carrying out. and few dc their work
with any enthusiasm or apparent pleas
ure. When John E. Young in 10" the
brilliant musical comedy ~ o. Henry,
Franklin p Adams and A. Baldwin
Sloane, comes to the Salt Lake theatre
for the three nights beginning Monday,
however, theatre-goers will see a crowd
of girls who are different
In the first place, only three or four
of the thirty-two have ever been on the
stage before, and consequently the eX-
element, applause, glitter and dazzle of
the footlights exhilaTates them into
working with a dash and enthusiasm
which is tremendously refreshing. Ev-
cry girl is well educated, accustomed to
good living and the little Iuxuries Of
life, so that they have that Undesirable
air of refinement which only good breed
ing can impart.
Likewise, they know how to carry
themselves and wear their beautiful
costumes, their walking suits and even
ing dresses as though they were accus-
toned to them, and not as though they
were made up for masquerade. Every
girl has beautiful teeth, fresh, clear
complexion, fine, soft hair and regular
features. Remarkable as it may seem
to those who. ignorant of the stage
think all chorus girls devote their spare
time to dissipation, there is not a single
al -
cigarette, and more than half of them
have never even tasted a glass of beer.
Six of them devote all their spare
time to studying singing, and are saw
ing their money in the hope of going
abroad for the further cultivation of
their voices, while one, who is a linguist
speaking no less than nine languages
has formed classes in French, German
and Italian, and is making considerable
more than her salary as chorus girl
by teaching her fellow workers.
When these chorus beauties were be-
ing engaged, the most important point
considered was one which has never be
fore been thought of when a chorus was
selected.
AS each girl came forward TO the table
where Mr.. Askin's representative, the
stage manager, and the musical direc-
tor were seated, the first thing she was
asked to do was TO smile and show her
teeth, and no girl who didn't display
two perfect rows of white, beautiful,
shining teeth, was given another mo-
ment's consideration.
Ordinarily a girls features, next her
voice, next her dancing ability, and
lastly, her past experience, are the four
important points to be considered when
she is applying for a position in a cho-
rus.
81 don't care whether a girl has had
experience or not" said Mr.. Asxin in
discussing this matter. In fact, /
would much prefer she hadn't, if she
has ambition and intelligence; for under
Louis Morton, my dancing expert, any
girl of ordinary ability can quickly pick
up the necessary dance steps. but no
teacher in the world can give them
freshness, youth and ambition"

the life of the performer with a wagon

huge combinations had been effected.
Fourteen years ago, year after
Montgomery and Stone had formed
their partnership. they had nothing TO
do one summer, and Montgomery, who
in the new AIDE play figures as the
manager of the two, was really the
manager. They learned that there was

Then Montgomery figured if he could
get a free act" to perform outside of
the theatre in the park it would attract
people. and that they might come into
the theatre and there pay admission.
So he tried to get a circus act from
Chicago. After several days he re-
marked to Stone:
Fred, all the circus acts that we
could get for a free attraction are
working with the tent shows 1 wish
I could get a good feature act to work

usual quiet manner.
