Good Dramatic Criticism.

The late Richard Mansfield felt
that he owed more TO the wise
discernment and stanch support
of The Chicago Record-Herald
than to any other agency, outside
himself, that contributed to his
ultimate triumph as an actor. Ask
any disinterested observer Of
theatrical matters today who
is the best dramatic critic in
Chicago, and ten to one he will
say James O'Donnell Bennett Of
The Chicago RecOrd-H Herald. Mr..
Bennett is unquestionably the
leading critic in his domain in
the West. He writes with a
fearless fairness and a keen
appreciation Of real merit that
makes his articles a genuine force
for the betterment of the stage.
His knowledge of the history and
principles of dramatic art is suf-
ficient to lend depth to his ut
terances, yet he has the news
paper mans knaek of making his
work breezy and interesting for
the average man and woman. His
columns are always newsy as well
as reliable in their judgements.
Anyone who will follow the dra-
matte, musical, literary and art
departments Of the Chicago Rec
ord Herald from season to sea
son need have no fear about keep
ing abreast of all that is latest
and finest in the movement OF
modern culture.

Great News From Denver.


Have you heard the great
news from Denver2 The Beast
has been driven from the jungle
the citizens of that long-corrupted
city have asserted their man
hood, and have seized the reins
and tools of government. Denver
has triumphantly indicated her
self; Judge Lindsey has been
justified. The causes of good
government, of virture, of civic
honesty, aye, of Undertaking
have been gloriously upheld.
This victory constitutes the
most encouraging, the most splen-
did event in the history of the
great movement to restore dem
ocracy in the United States. Be
fore the people of Denver there
was a moral issue; it had been
clearly defined there was no pos
sibility of misconstruction. The
people decided right, as they will
always decide right if only they
are honestly convinced where the
right lies.
What Denver has done other
cities can do. Lindsey's noble
work and his ultimate success
must encourage other men
to emulate his service.
This was our belief md
our hope when we agreed tC
publish ''The Beast and the Jun
gle" We are proud to have
borne a part in the awakening o.
Denver, proud to have published
Lindsey's story and proud to b.
able to congratulate him and hi
fellow-citizens on the ending o
the Beasts reign.

HAlLEY's COMET VISIBLE.
John p. Gilday Shows Connection Of
Wanderer With Ancient History.

Sitting up at night with the sick
lately. | have had good opportunities
To observe Halley's comet " said John
y. Gilday. 1T Is now very bril-.
liant spectacle In the eastern skies.
Between $3.50 and 4.30. or In the dark
hours Just before dawn, II looms up
like a gigantic searchlight. 1t is no
longer necessary To have chart of
the heavens to find II. All you have
to do Is to set your alarm clock for
half past three and when II goes off,
raise your window and look to the
east II looks like II is headed straight
for the earth. Its body is like a star
OF the first magnitude in size. but
more hazy and less brilliant than Ven.
us. The tail. however, is a grand af-
fair. and sweeps up into the heavens
covering at least an eighth OF the en-.
tire sky dome.
And, by the way. do YOU know that
this Halley's comet is the same one
that filled the ancient Romans with
terror on that famous Ides of March
when Brutus and his crowd slew Jul
ius Caesar at the foot OF Pompey' s
pillars? Don't you remerber how
Shakespeare. who took his story from
Plutarch, pictured it-'fierce fiely
warriors walked upon the clouds and
drlzzled blod upon the capitol? Tha,
was probably the reflection OF the tail
of Halleys comet upon the clouds In
the Roman sky, magnified by tho few
cred imagnations of the people. You
can figure tho date out for yourself
julius was bowled over 1850 years agf
or about 40 b. C.. Iialley's comet
comes every Is years. Divide that a.
into 1850 and YOU will find that one
of the periods OF the comets vista
tion was at the time of Caesars a.
sassination, and the history records
that great comet was visible a
that time"
