worthy. In round figures there is invested in
theatrical ventures in this country about $780,
100000.
Does this sum seem excessive?
Then remember the wide expanse of ter
y1tory represented by the words United States
Of America, and try to realize that practically
every city and hamlet in the land has its the
alter or opera house, that in every case the ac
eessibility of the theater itself is matter of
supreme importance, and that this fact at
once necessitates the expenditure of high rent
ais or the purchase Of highpriced properties
that the operator of theater, in fact, must eX-
pect at the very outset to pay the maximum
of property values, whether he leases or buys.
In New York, for instance. the Rialto has
steadily moved uptown, keeping pace with the
city's growth northward, and to-day the costli-
est theaters in the world are centered about
Times Square-in Broadway and in the ada
cent side streets within radius of half a
dozen blocks from the point of supreme COM
Inercial competition.
Main street in the average American village
Would not be Main street without its theater

sslUaf in these smaller communities, as in the
great metropolitan cities, the theater property
will be found listed among the most valuable
] holdings in realty.

Escapes Miraculous.
The escapes from the burning yes
sci were miraculous. The majority
of the passengers were women and
children, and once the fire was dis
covered issuing from a stateroom on
the second deck, panic reisned. TO
add to the horror the ropes support
ing the immense gang plank, which
had been lowered to enable those
aboard to board the score of row
boats that had been hurriedly put out
from shore, burned, letting about fiji
teen people, including several wo-
men and children, into the water.
Captain Swain, on realizing that all
hopes for the vessel were gone, or
dered the pilot to beach the boat and
instructed his crew to deal out life
preservers.
Engineer Casrider, after attending
his boiler, guarding againstan eXplo7
sion, went to his pumps, remaining
there until the flames licked about
his face and body. To save his life
he left to find a row boat which had
been left for him and caught fire
from the burning steamer. He got
into the boat, however, and beating
the flames from him, and rowing
hard, managed to get ashore. He was
taken to hospital.

three to ten productions season,
while innumerable companies are
operated by individuals, the orig
inal estimate of $100,000,000 invest
ed will seem reasonable enough.
With the New York theater occu-
plying an expensive site, and half a
dozen other theaters in process of
erection in New York, with new
theaters projected in Chicago and
various other large cities, with a
constant increase in competition
and the necessity for augmented
expenditures, each firm trying to
Guido its rival in lavishness of pro-
duction, more and more money is
being poured each year into this
one channel of enterprise, and
more and more of it, overlooking
the confines of its original inten-
ton, filters out through various
channels to bring profit to innum-
cradle people who would be greatly

practical economists might put much of the
expenditure under the head of unproductive
consumption of wealth, since much of it is ul-
timately wasted The same amount, for in
stance, employed in fertilizing vast acres of
barren unused land would ultimately produce
a greater communal benefit.

SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR -
< COOKING OF POTATOES

we all know how to cook the dish of
plain boiled or steamed potatoes, of
which we tire sometimes. but to which
we always return. But many excel
lent dishes can be made with potatoes
and mos. of the recipes given here can
be made with old or new potatoes.
Potato Croquettes-Boil six large
potatoes, rub them through a sieve or
beat them up with two forks; work in.
while ho:, a tablespoonful Of butter,
half a cupful of hot milk, seasoning of
SALT pepper and paprika; beat in two
eggs, then turn out on to a dish and
allow to get cold; make the mixture
into neat croquettes, using little flour
then roll in beaten egg and fine
bread crumbs; fry in plenty Of smok-
Ing hog fat. Drain and serve hot
Potatoes and Eggs-Boil some large
potatoes in their skins. Peel and Gu.
IN thick slices. Scald one cupful Of
cream, lay the potatoes in q f1reproof
dish; season with salt, pepper and
crate of nutmeg. Pour on, the cream,
add two or three small pieces OF butter
and bake till thoroughly hot. Serve
with some neatly trimmed poached
eggs on the top.
Baked Souff1e Potatoes-wash we'll
and bake in a slow oven six large DO
taSoes. When ready, cut carefully in
halves, scoop out the centers ana rub
through sieve. Weight two ounces
Boil one tablespoonful Of milk and half
an ounce Of butter, add the potato and
betat we'll. Next add the yolks of two
eggs, salt and pepper, to taste, then
beat up the whites of the eggs and
mix them in gently. Partly fill the
skins, bake them till light brown and
puffed up well, then serve quickly, as
everything "souffle'' falls as It cools.
Potato Pudding-Rub half a pound
Of mashed potatoes through sieve,
add Two tablespoonful Of sugar, rina
and strained juice Of half q lemon, one
heaping tablespoonful Of butter, two
/ yolks Of eggs, three beaten whites of

CITY REAL estate
CLIMBING skYWARp

The top mark was reached in real
estate prices in this city this week,
when J.. v. Jessen purchased of A. H.
Arnett, W. l. Richards and Geo. A.
Senour, the corner lot on Willard street
on which George Berzel's confectionery
store is located, known for years as the
Messersmith corner, paying 50, 600 there
for. or $500 per front foot.
This gives Mr.. lessen a corner frontage
of fifty by n hundred and forty-one
feet deep. as the lot upon which he built
last year, the new brick building now
occupied by the Unique, adjoins the new
purchase.
1t is likely that Mr.. lessen will build
upon bis newly acquired property at a
not far distant day, although he gives
out no definite statement for publication
at present.
