1900 Miles of Timber
Cut A Day.

When West Virginia's two hum
dred big saw mills are operating in
full, eight million feet of timber is
cut each day, or enough to cover
a distance of six hundred miles. If
all the timber that is cut in this
State during one day was stretched
in straight line, it would reach
from Wheeling to Denver. a dis
lance of about 600 miles.
The Little Mountain State ranks
among the leading timber produc-
ing States of the Union, and with
the nossible exception of North
Carollna, Cnis State produces more
timber than any other State east
of the Mississippi.

friends and those who have abused her.
The basic construction of the scene Is very
simple. Very little happens" Just the
dying of a child. but in it is all the ex-
perienoe that comes when any human
being is faced with death. The child's
mind just as any other mind suffers at
the thought Of dissolution, and there is no
maturity of faith and trust to sustain her
she has prayed for death as a release
from hardship and now that she feels the
chill and harshness Of the reality, she re-
ssts with the passionate desire to live.
She fights against the approach Of power
lessness until there comes the vision Of
happiness. Then she sees a childish
Heaven made up of Christmas decorations
brightness and music. She is content to
go and leaves behind her the bitterness
and cruelty Of her brief existence. Those
who have been watching her, the kind and
the careless, comment strangely upon her
life as II ends.
1t is not hard to believe that a truly
great actress, as Mrs. Fiske beyond all
cavil Is, might make in that scene an inn
preston that would last even a lifetime OF
theater going, 1t is simple and direct and
filled with stupendous difficulties. There
is little there to hold up the deficiencies
Of a mere emotional actress" and in max
ing her work seem adequate to the poets
conception, Mrs Fiske is doing something
worth while. Omaha will be very fortunate

Hannele
New Triumph
for Great Actress

Mrs Fske, who has often been seen in
omaha. and who has been admired for her
power Of spirituaIized emotional acting, Is
spreading the gospel OF poetic drama with
some success BY the term poetic drama
one does not mean drama written in blank
verse. but rather the drama that is IN
Spired and vivified by poetic and com
pelllng imagination. No great actor and
no great play is without the essence Of
poetry, but we suffer much, these days,
from those who know the fewest possible
essentials OF play carpentry and who with
that knowledge and a few stulufled and
stale misconceptions Of life make what are
called emotional plays"
Mrs Fisko Is accomplishing her mission
IN a short play from the German OF Ger
hardt Hauptmann. Hauptmann wrote
'Hannele" when he was not as much bur-
dened with overly self-conscious pessimism
as afflicted him in "Einsahme Menschen'
and "Die Weber" but there is certain
spirit Of gloom I'm the piece that is es-
sentlaly German and il was Immediately
pronounced fuuereal by some of the critics
In fact, II Is beautifully hopeful, and al
