The Silks Of Samarkand.

The silks and velvets of Samarkand.
long famous for the rainbow blending
OF their colors. have a season. exactly
like fruits or garden truck. and can only
be purchsse d at that particular time
of the year. When the worms are
ready for spinning they are all brought
to the silk bazaar and sold. The silk Is
then spun and dyed. and all that is not
used in the makers family Is exported
in the form OF cloth. Thus. unless you
happen to be in Samarkand during the
season. it is all but impossible to find
any of the native silk for sale except
in the form OF ready made khalats.

BY WELLINGTON HOPE.

London, May 21.-With the termina.
ton of the ceremonies incident to the
burial of the late King Edward VII,
the eyes of all England and in fact
of the civilized world are centered on
the new rulers of the British empire
King George and Queen Mary.
The marked difference between their
natures and those of the late king and
Queen Mother Alexandra, is the sub
iect of considerable comment, both in
political and social circles. and specu-
lation is rife a. to the changes that
are likely to take p:aOe as soon as the
coronation ceremonies are over, and
England returns to the humdrum OF

King nedward was fond of society
and was exceedingly popular: Before
his accession TO the throne he had
many fair favOrites among the smart
American set. and when he became
king many oR bis "a time friends were
prominent members of the court of St
James. His beautiful wife, Queen
Alexandra. was completely dominated
by the kings personality. and seldom
voiced any objection to her husbands
friends. AS result, the late king

picture shows. He stated furthermore
that vaudeville could not be defined
by a mere form of variety entertain
ment. when such vas not the case.
The proper presentation of real vaude.
vile has given it a plane in the amuse'
ment world that elevates It far above
such mere variety.
Whether or not this is true Is q
mooted question, but nevertheless the
fact remains that the Sun-Murray CIR.
cult. of which Richmonds popular play
house, the New Murray, the home OF
approved vaudeville. is ore-has never
cheapened vaudeville by playing in
ferior attractions. Martin Bee, the
general manager of the great Orphe-
UNI circuit, with palatial theaters in
every first class city from coast to
coast, is the pre-eminent figure in the
vaudeville game today.
Apropos of the standing of the Sun
Murray circuit, the following converse.
ton is reported to have taken place
while Messrs. Sun and Murray were in
New York recently.
A representative of the Orpheum
circuit invited them to dine at the st.
Regis hotel and during the course of
the dinner the conversation following
took place:
They tell me YOU have a Sun-Mur-
ray throughout Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania that compares very fav-
cult and that you play attractions that
would be regarded as features in our
chain of theaters?"
The answer was, We'll. we have a
number of first class theaters in these
states but there is one essential diff
ference. In the first place we play the
greater majority of your big feature
acts. as you know, but We limit the
number of turns or acts to five during
the regular season and give three per-
formances daily in place of the two a
day system. Look over this list of at
fractions playing Sun-Murray houses

A Political Issue.
The arrest OF the woman, who was
once superior of the Order of st.

issue.
Just as the clericals seized upon the
thefts OF the church land frauds by
the government agents, so the sup.
porters OF the government have taken
this Sister Candide case as retalia-
tory weapon.
Many well known men have been
victimized by the nun, according to
the authorities, besides the jewellers
from whom she obtained Jewels worth
millions Of francs, ostensibly to sell
on commission to rich patrons inter-
ested in her charitable work.
Sister Candide today declared that
all OF the jewels would be returned
or paid for. Meanwhile search of

alter circuit in the world. This is the
play the Sun-Murray theaters.
Unlike other circuits the attractions
offered at the Murray theater in Rich
mond are the same quality and caliber
as those playing the larger cities, and
furthermore are offered at much less
admission pricet shan elsewhere.
Sun-Murray coined the phrase zap
proved vaudeville and have followed
one policy throughout their chain of
theaters-to give the best attractions
offered at all times regardless Of ad-
mission prices. The class of attrac-
tions offered at all times at the New
Murray in Richmond is far superior to
that of any other family theater in the
world. Features for this house are Sc
cured from every recognized source,
such as the better attractions of the
Keith big time, the Orpheum circuit,
the Western Vaudeville Managers as
ISOLATION, Pat Casey, Moss-Stoll, Ltd.
of England, William Morris and all
the independent sources. The essen
tial requirement of an act working the
Sun-Murray theaters is ability, though
OF course. every act must refrain from
using anything in their Offering that
is immoral or Objectionable.
This is the secret of the success of
the Sun-Murray Amusement company,
theatrical company that has perma-
nently established and originated a re-
fined form of the ideal entertainment
at popuar prices.

of the variety that would tend to make
home and family, and is greatly in
fluenced by his wife. Court circles
will undoubtedly feel the effect of this
advice and many familiar faces at the
court of St. James will disappear.
AS Queen Mary is stickler on pro-
priety and shares her husbands ideas
ties of the late king will undoubtedly
be among the first to be eliminated.
The members of the new court must
be possessed of generous amount of
blue blood" with an ancestry that
will bear inspection as these qualities
will be far more essential than wealth
wit and beauty.
OF course. many of the American
heiresses, who have married English
noblemen will undoubtedly retain their
social position owing to the husbands
but the class that will feel the effect
of the new reign is composed Of
wealthy, untitled widows who dazzled
the late king by their great beauty and
brilliant conversational abilities.
King Edward had many favorites,
and many women attained world wide
fame on account Of the attention paid
to them by the monarch. One of thA
