The man. whose life he saved was a

noise, probably caused by mice, jump

a burglar in his room. Cautiously he
reached for, his gun and, with his
finger on the trigger, peered intently
through the semi-darkuess of the

his iron bed he saw something white
that looked to him like the hand Of

1.-THE WEAkLING."

1.-THE Weakling," a new play by
Channon L. Davis. is to be produced
at the Illinois theatre on the evening of
Nov. 30 by the Tri-City Dramatic club.
The play is a drama on the order of
The Squaw Man" and before decid-
ing to place it, Mr.. Davis had it read
by several competent authorities. All
pronounced 1t a clever story and pre-
dicted success for it. The cast secur-
ed for the play is composed of some of
the best amateurs of the three cities.
In a community of the size of the three
cities it seems that there ought to be
room for a dramatic club to study and
present meritorious plays. 1t will be
seen from the many home talent pro-
ductions already successfully carried
through. that there is no lack of good
talent. A permanent club, therefore,
which shall have for its purpose the
study and presentation of valuable
dramatic works, should be fostered and
supported in these three cities. Per
sonally, Mr.. Davis takes a great in
terest in the dramatic club idea, and
feels that any movement in this direc-
ton might receive ample support ii
properly started. He has had much
experience in dramatic schools, and
has done considerable teaching. The

RADIO. The Utes ARE a prosperous,
wealthy and peace-loving people which
undoubtedly accounts for the fact that
the character has never before been
seen on the American stage. Yet, they
are a most interesting specie as the
following will disclose: The habita-
tons of the Utes are of two sorts: a
simple shelter or bush arbor used dur
! ing the summer months and a conical
structure. covered with bark and earth
during the winter. Unlike their paler
brethren they have little or nothing to
say in the management of the house
hold. The house and all that IT con-
tains, aside from the husbands weap-
Oas, belong by common consent to the
squaw or wife. Neither has the hus-
/ band any claim upon whatever the
squaw may have acquired by inherit
ance or purchase. The children be-
| long wholly to the mother and she as
sumes the entire direction of affairs.
The Navajo blankets, which the wo-
] men weave and knit are justly famed
| for their fineness of finish, beauty Of
design and variety of pattern. In '"rhe
| Lost Trail" the strong drama of west
ern life, which will be seen in this
city at the Illinois next Friday even
| ing a Ute type is presented in the per-
son of Escalante, an Indian chieftain.
It is a character new to the stage and
introduced solely to lend a truthful at
mosphere. The scene wherein he pre-
sents various trophies to the educated
eastern girl being both picturesque and
full of color. In this connection,
number of the most expensive and
beautiful Navajo blankets, made in re-
cent years by members of the Ute
tribe will be used"

"SEVEN DAYS"

There is never a dull fraction of a
second in the entirety of Seven
Days." says the New York Journal OF
Commerce in its review of the com
edy that on its opening night more
than a year ago actually shook the
Astor theatre with laughter. ut did
ones heart good to see the audience
at the Astor last night. 1t laughed at
Seven Days and never stopped till it
was on the sidewalk. This farce by
Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery
Hopwood is one of the most amusing
plays in years. 1t is another of those
exceptional successes for which the
Astor has become famous So great
has been the success of this play that
1t Is now in its second year in New
York, having run uninterruptedly
through the summer, the first COM
edy ever to achieve this record. OF all
the players who have appeared in it
On Broadway Messrs. Wagenhals &,
Kemper have formed a special cast
which will be seen at the Illinois the

HYDROPLANE IS
WONDERFUL

LONDON. Aug. 13.--All London Is
talking about the startling eXhibi'
tipns of speed given by little boat
on the Thames and at Bournemouth.
The boat was seen racing up and
down the river at what seemed a
terrific speed, darting along by leaps
and bounds, just as a shark chases
n fish scuddlng between wind and
water. The impression she left was
net so much that of power, for she
was such a mite of thing, only
twenty-slx feet long, as OF vicious
and desperate energy. Crowds OF
people gathered along the embank-
ment to watch her, wondering
whence in her tIny body this over
towering energy could come.
The boat is the Miranda w., the
latest experiment in skimboats, or,
as they are called technically. hy-
droplane2, by the veteran English in
ventor, Sir John Thornycroft. Com
pared with anything near her size,
the Miranda w is certainly the fast
est craft ailoat. Her exact speed IL
not known, but she has several times
done well over thirty-four knots an
hour.
She has been tried In heavy sea
and In the wake of big steamer
and has never qulvered This, In a
twenty six foot boat, represents an
extremely nigh development in the
science of boat construction. Owing
to the peculiar formation of her keel
and body she skins rather than
floats on the water, and can do her
highest speed as well in heavy sea
as in u perfectly calm one. In fact
she only touches the water In a
small section amidships and another
small section at the stern. when
she gets up steam, however her bow
rises out Of the water like a snout
and she skins along with hardly
half her body touch Tag the surfg,e
No matter how fast she goes, she
