The bafiing symptoms preceding the

Theodore Madsen, 1913 West Second

Doctors in Auto coIIlsion.-From an
automobile mixup yesterday at the
Intersection Of Third and Brady
streets, DR.. c.. L. Barewald's Buick
emerged without scratch and DR..
J. w. Watzek's Baker electric came
forth minus two rear wheels. DR..
Watzek was going up Brady street
on the east side of the street and
Or. Barewald approached from Third
street going eastward. From the
manner of the damage done to DR..
Watzek's machine the auto of DR..
Barewald must have Just come into
contact with one of the rear wheels
and the weight of DR.. Watzek's ma
chine crushed the other wheel. By
ISLANDERS agree that both machines
were going at an ordinary rate Of
speed and the accident was most pc
culiar. Except for the breaking of
the wooden framework of the rear
wheels DR.. Watzek's machine was
unframed even the tires being intact
after the mfxup. The doctors. neither
of whom was injured, were the sole
occupants of the machines.

CHANGE IN DRAMATIC FASHIONS

Speaking of La Verge Folle" (The
Foolish Virgin, Henry Battaille's new
play, which is the talk of Pafis,
Charles Frohman says: This re-
markable play, which | hope to pro
duce in English in the autumn, illus
trates the curious way in which fash
ions change dramatically. For many
years it was always the wife on the
Paris stage that played the sinners
part. Now it is the husband, while
the wife enacts the role of guardian
angel" The forerunner of the spread
of this new fashion to the English
stage may also be noted in Pineros
latest play, ''Mid-Channel," in which
Ethel Barrymore has made her nota-
bic success. The new idea is not yet
firmly established in London, but the
approaching change is indicated by
the fact that while Zoe BlundelI, the
wife in "Mid-Channe1," is a sinner,
the husband is sinner also. IN
fact, the climax of the play turns on
that very point. Zoe exclaims, I'VE
are both sinners, Theo, we are both
sinners. Very possibly in his next
drama Sir Arthur Wing Pinero will
have only the guilty husband

FRANCIS WILSON PLAYING GOLF.

Francis Wilson is a golf enthusiast.
He keeps a driver in his dressing
room at The Criterion theatre and
when he gets time between the acts
of The Bachelor Baby he drives
an imaginary ball. He says it is only
for exercise, but his best friends say
that with every swat at the incorpo.
real air he proudly imagines that he
is on the links, making a two hun.
dred and thirty yard drive. The 9TH
er evening one of these best
friends, novelist, was on his way
behind the scenes and paused as he
saw the star in his shirt sleeves vic
lently swinging. "Awfully. awfuIly,
aWfully Totten." said the friend pres
emily, disclosing his presence with
this cheering remark: You'd bet
ter give it up Without stopping his
swings or relaxing the earnestness
suitable to a golf exercise, Mr.. Wilson
began as if talking to himself:
