"Paid in Full"

In recent years a few plays have
made such big hits that two or three
companies have been sent out in them,
and in one instance four organizations
were started, but the number lasted
only short time. That play was not
big enough or popular enough to win
public support for four companies, yet
it was one of the biggest successes of
the time. In this fact lies the proof
that Eugene Walters paid in F,ull''
is one of the greatest and most popu-
lar plays ever produced in America.
All last season, beginning in August,
1908, and continuing until last May,
five companies appeared in paid in

same number is going over the coun-
try again this year. At the Grand

The Daily Constitution Democrat of
Davenport, Iowa. says of The Prince
of Tonight which comes to the Grand
Thursday, February 8.
One of the most perfectly con-
structed and presented of that modern
form of amusement recognized as mus
ical comedy was enjoyed at the Grand
last night by an audience that exceed
cd the seating capacity of the house
Every seat contained an amused and
entertained spectator. The book and
lyrics, which were Of a tuneful va
riety and more sentimental than top
1cab are the prOducUOn OF ADAMS ana
Hough, While the musical compositions
were the work of Joseph E. Howard,
whose authorship embraces several
similar stage successes. The perform
ance was remarkable for the atten-
ton to detail which in large measure
is responsible for it's perfection: for the
beauty ard originality of costume and
the elaborateness of scenic investilure.
A thread of heart interest is woven
through the story which, with the COM
edy element in juxtaposition, is pro-
ductive of unexpected mental impress
sion that are delightful. The Prince of
Tonight is a sort of fantastic produc-
ton, and oddly lit its class, the SEN
timental interest being largely in evil
dence only to fade into extravaganza
and the spectacular of the TRANSFORMED
ton scene. The scenical effects were
surprisingly beautiful. among the most
charming of which was the transition
scene of nymphs. with blue and silver
ballets, and the depicting of fairy lore
and moon witchery in the second act.
Henry Woodruff, an actor of some
distinction, formerly having been with
MT. Brown of Harvard impersonated
the college bred young man. life-saver
at Palm Beach and later the Prince of
Lutania, who through the medium Of
enchantment enjoys the honors and
emoluments of a prince through a
single night. Passing from the ecstatic
dream to reality the prince-fellow is
reconciled to the heartless girl that had
rejected his avowal. The general cast
met every requirement, the comedy ele-
ment being specially finely presented.
The production was wholly devoid of
the offensive or faint of the vulgar. The
ehoruses were exceptionally strong.

great event of the week has been the
ski meet at Finse. It has never been
tried before anywhere in the world to
have a ski tournament on a midsum-

thought it would be good thing to
try, as all the conditions were per-

most suitable place. Finse is one of
the stations on the railway between

The large rats which were present
in such large numbers in Copenhagen
some years ago have returned and are
causing any amount Of trouble again.
The authorities are preparing for an
other rat war and are going to set the
police force and others busy to once
more clear the city of the obnoX-
ious rodents. They are especially
present in large numbers around
"Kongen's Nytorv," where they are
proving to be a great nuisance.
The Copenhagen police have lately
been conducting a series of raids on
some of the gambling dens in the city
and have succeeded in discovering
several of them and closing them up.
A large number of arrests have been
made. 1t appears that the city this
summer has been infested with for
eign gamblers as well as native ones
and the police are going after them in
a way which is most gratifying.
The management of the Dagmar
theater at Copenhagen has engaged
Professor Riis-Knutsen, formerly di-
rector of the theater, as scenic direc-
tor. He has had a great deal of ex-
perience in this line of work and his
selection for the position has received
much favorable comment from the
Copenhagen papers.
Rev. Mortimer Kennedy, for many
years pastor of the English Episcopal
church in Copenhagen, has been ap-
pointed one of the court chaplains at
King Georges court in London and
will depart for his native country
within few weeks.

Room for Doubt as to His At

Discussed and Conservation

day.

OYSTER BAY, July 5.-Theodore
Roosevelt declared today, not by
direct statement, but by implication
so strong that it admits of no misin-
depreciation. that he will support
Representative Miles Poindexter in
his fight for a seat in the United
states senate from the state Of Wash
ington. They had luncheon together
and a conference at Sycamore Hill
today.
In supporting Poindexter for the
senate. Roosevelt places himself
squarely in opposition to Richard A.
Ballinger, secretary of the interior,
whom President Taft has so warmly
defended. 1t is the only stand he has
taken bearing directly or indirectly
on the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy
Poindexter is opposed to Ballingef
from first to last and hopes to sue
coed Senator Piles of Washington.
Agree on Policies.
Leaving Oyster Bay after the con-
ference. Poindexter said: II found
Colonel Roosevelt unchanged. He
and l have always worked together
and he assured me. we always will
work together. I am delighted at the
result of the visit"
Colonel Roosevelt looked happy
when he received interviewers a little
later. Seated in his library he spoke
OF the talk with Poindexter in a man
ner that showed plainly the pleasure
the meeting had given him.
This is what he said: "Represen-
tative Poindexter and 1 went over the
political situation in the northwest
He assured me he was heartily in
sympathy with my conservation ijOl-
icy. Poindexter is candidate for
the United States senate and he is
politically opposed to the wing of the
party headed by Ballinger. secretary
of the interior.
'This was all the colonel wanted to
have put in quotation marks What
he said otherwise made it rather
clear he had given his assurance to
Poindexter that he would support
him in his coming senatorial cam
paign.

Coincidentally, Ballinger and Taft
held conference at Beverley today
in which they discussed the reclama-
ton service. There Ballinger denied
with emphasis the rumor that he was
