Phyllis, Dear" the new song written
by Robert Rexdale, will be sung this
week at the Majestic theatre by Mrs
May Richards Casey, beginning tomor-
row and continuing the rest of the

vile theatres. Robert Rexdale is the
author of many fine lyrics and any
thing new from his pen receives atten-
ton in literary circles.

PLANS FORW ARDED
Secretary Of War to Pass on
Design of Proposed Bridge
at Colona.
ESTIMATED COST $4,000
Believed That Government Authori-
ties Will Not Permit Erection
of Wagon Structure.

Plans prepared by the state engi-
neer, calling for a 100000 bridge
across Rock river at Colona, have
I been forwarded to Secretary of War
/ Dickinson. The plans were sent by
the joint committee composed of Hen
'ry and Rock Island county supervisors
who have been entrusted with arrange
ments for construction of the proposed
bridge.
1t is pointed out that the 100000
plans submitted to the secretary of
war are not approved by a majority of
supervisors on the Rock Island county
board, but members of the joint COM
mittee argue that it is up to the sec
rotary of war to decide what kind of
bridge must be built at Colona, ra-
Their than for the supervisors to de-
eide what they want there. Those who
favor the construction of wagon
bridge at much less expense are likely
to be disappointed, according to those
who are supporting a movement for a
railroad bridge on the plea that an
ilnterurban will soon enter this county.
Action Postponed.
/ Last Friday the joint committee met
in Rock Island court house and decid-
ed to postpone further action till the
secretary of war has been heard from.
At the meeting OF the board of super
visors recently it was found that Sane
ton of the war secretary will be nee
eSsary before the bridge can be built.

"MARY JAMES PA"

That Mary James Pa" made a de-
cided hit in both New York and Chi
cago is not surprising. Mary James
Pa deals with the life of the Perkins
family. The play was at the Illinois
last evening We first see the Per
kins family with Mrs. Portia Perkins,
editor and manager of the Gosport,
Ind, Clarion, as head and sole pro-
WIDER for the household, which is
made up Of two daughters, Lucille, a
winsome maid of 10, and Mary Jane,
cunning child of probably s. We
learn that the father, Hiram Perkins,
had skipped" some years before,
leaving his wife TO bring up the chill
dren in any way she could
She has come to a small Indiana
town and set up a job printing and
newspaper business. She is in the
midst of a political strife when the
play opens. One evening when trou-
BILE has been at it's height Hiram Per
lSins. the father, appears and out
wardly is as easy going and as salts
fed with himself as one could imagine.
Portals first impulse is to turn him
away, but they come finally to an ar
rangement whereby she still carries on
the business and he acts as man of
the household" the true relationship
not being disclosed.
The honest candidate for the legis-
lature has fallen in love with Mrs.
Perkins, believing her a widow, and
has waited for her to accept him for
eight years, and she is on the point of
doing so when Hiram turns up. At
ter the nomination-which Mrs. Per
kins has succeeded in winning for her
admirer through an exposure In mon
ey methods of his opponent. Mr.
Skinner, the defeated man, in a spirit
of revenge. leads a committee of Cos
port gossips to the Perkins home to
learn why she is keeping a man
cook" She discloses the fact that the
man is her husband. Meanwhile Hi
ram has written a book which had
been accepted by publishers and he
and Portia come to the con Inclusion that
thew really love each other after all,
and all ends happily.
Max Figman as Hiram Perkins, he
of the wanderlust and of lofty ideas,
was splendid. The part, so absolutely
different than the usual stage charac-
ter, was excellently portrayed by Mr..
Figman, whose every facial express
sion and bit of wit brought a good
laugh. There is excellent talent in
his leading lady. Miss Helen Lackaye,
who carries the roll of Portia Perkins,
the deserted wife and woman of great
business instinct. Miss Dorothy
Phelps as Lucille Perkins, an unhappy
maid of 16. who solicits the mad ad-
miration Of an actor and desires to
fly with him to see the world, handled
that role delightfully."- Dorothy Nc
Kay, who appears as Mary Jane, is
one of the little girls" of the stage.
Pretty, charming and natural, she fits
her role beautifully. The play is to
be presented at the Burtis, Daven-
port, this evening.

husband. When the crash comes, the
extravagant wife begs of a rich aunt
who will not help, and as the hus
band abandons hope, the wife pro
duces $4,000 in cash-20 bills of ST.
900 each. She lies to her husband and
tells him that this money has been
lent to her by the rich aunt. The
great sensation of the play comes
when the truth leaks out. The aunt
who says she has one foot in the
grave and the other IN Wall street"
will not be made the partner of lie
even to save her niece and when
the husband would return to her the
money he doesn't want to borrow, she
hands it back and says 81 didn't give
it to her" Then slowly is forced from
the heart-breaking wife the fact that
she has borrowed the $4,000 from an
other man-an enormously rich man
known to the husband as a man with
out moral character. 1t is sordid
heartbreaking picture of life that
goes on under many an American roof
Despite the seriousness of the subject
discussed Mr.. Brown has woven into the
play many humorous speeches and sit
uations and throughout the play there
runs a clean, wholesome love story in
