"The Virginian."

"The Virginian," virile human,
western, is a typical American play
that holds it's place in popular favor
by reason Of it's realistic portrayal of
acteristics of the great ranges that
are passing as a phase of our national
life.
The stage version Of "The Virgin
ian," made from the novel Of Owen
Wister, by the author and Kirke La
Shelle, preserves the TRUE spirit of the
popular romance and makes strong
appeal to American playgoers.
The personality of Dustin Farnum
has been so identified with the char
acter Of the "Virginian," that it is ex-
tremely trying to any other player to
attempt the role; but Mr.. w. L. Glib
son brings to the portrayal of the part
an intelligent conception of the real
cowboy; in fact, it may be said that
Mr.. Gibson's cowboy is more natural
than that of Mr.. Farnum-more true
to life
Dustin Farnum's Virginian savored
something Of the drawing room, while
that Of Mr.. Gibson is more truly of
the range.
Mr.. Gibson plays "The Virginian"
true to the type, as Mollie Wood de-
scribes her hero, tall and big and
strong and gentle, with blue eyes"
And the Virginian sums up his own
IF man is built right he will win
with whatever hand he holds when
the trouble begins And so the Vir-
ginian wins with his hand on the
trigger when Trampas for a second
time attempts to take his life. He
wins because he had to kill the man
or be murdered, and this justification
| finally overcom,s the adherence of
Mollie Wood, the school mistress from
Vermont, at the rude out f-hand JUS
ttice of the west
The company supporting Mr.. Gibson
is substantially the same as that
| which was with Dustin Farnum in the
same role, the one exception being the
appearance of Mr. Dustin Farnum's

"The Lion and the Mouse"

CThe Seattle TlmeS)
Beauty without brains is a common
thing Brain without beauty is a COM
mon thing. But beauty and brains is
rarity-on the stage, especially. The
combination, however, exists in high
degree in Miss Carolyn Elberts, the
lodestone of THE Lion and the Mouse"
that virile drama of present day life
afternoon. 1.-The Lion and the Mouse"
is a friend of Seattle theatregoers.
Miss Eberts is a stranger. That is,
she was until yesterday.
In the first act when, as Shirley
Rossmore, she appears fresh from Eu-
rope in the humble home of her faith
er, who is about to be ground under
the wheels of the money power. Miss
Elberts' efforts are quite subdued. So
much so that you begin to wonder if
it is another case of beauty without
brains. The second act sees her like
wise subdued. But in the third act
when her best opportunity comes in
the big denunciation scene, Miss Ell
berts proved her worth and her en-
thusiastic audience rose to her at the
curtain with wave after wave of UNI
bridled applause 1t was really
triumph.
Walter Edwards, as the cynical,
.hardheaded business man of many mill
lions against whom Miss Elberts was
pitted in the battle of brains, gives
performance wholly his own. Ming
ing sentiment with business has ever
ost for the business man and it is so
when THE Lion attempts to outWit
The Mouse"
Mr. Edwards is the possessor of
hard, cod smile as becomes financial
Hun and, all in all, he clothes the char
,acter as one would imagine it should
be clothed.
The jefferson Ryder of Charles D
Pitt suffers in comparison with pre-
vious interpreters of that part. He is
much more quiet and submissive than
occasion seems to demand
Charles H. Burbidge, the Senator
Roberts of the present cast, does well
with his limited opportunities and the
Hon. Fitzroy Bagley as George sgd
enham was a good characterization OF
"a penniless blue blood with an eye to
the main chance.
H. Rees Davis appeared properly
crushed as the victim of the money
power, and the balance of the cast was

brother Marshall, as Trampas, in
which he replaces Frank Champeau,
and he makes the role even stronger
than the original Marshall is the
younger Of the three Farnum broth
ers who are now on the stage, and in
the rather uncongenial role of villain
he plays real bad man" of the
west, who gets what he is looking for,
and dies with his boots on"
In the company are many favor
ties. including Miss Mabel Wright as
Mollie Wood, the charming little lady
from Down East" who wins the
hearts Of the cowboys and falls in
love with the big Virginian, who res
cues her when her life is threatened
by the capsizing of a stage through
the foolhardiness Of a drunken driver
And then there is Charles r. Gilbert
who displays remarkable genius in
doubling in the parts of the Bishop
and Spanish Ed, the latter being one
of the finest pieces of character act
ing in the production. The cowboys
are all first rate, and Honey Virgins
speech on the presentation Of the elk's
head to the prospective bride is es-
pecially effective.
There is something irresistibly fun
ny in the expedient of the Virginian
in mixing up the babies in the first
act at the dance and christening, while
Thief Pass, is tremendously strong.
The final killing of Trampas by the
Virginian, which brings the play to
close, is thoroughly thrilling.

Eating may not be one of the best
things President Taft does, but it is
certainly one of the things he does best.
For instance, not long ago, the pres
ident attended a banquet at Newark,
N ]. He did ample justice to the pro-
vender, and there was no scarcity
hereof The menu was at least two
feet long, in these days of high food
prices it would have struck terror to
the heart of the bravest housewife. At
ter the banquet the president deliv-
cred a rather lengthy speech. Perhaps
that explains what followed Maybe
speaking whets the appetite, for when
the president climbed aboard his pri-
vate car, Is minutes after rising from
the banquet board, he hailed the por-
ter, with:
Anything to eat?"
There was. and the president got it.

Within the past twenty years no other science
has so challenged the attention OF the civilized
world that of electricity. Through the entire
history Of the race this subtle fluid. though per

its possibilities. It is believed by many that
every form Of energy may be traced back to its
origin in electricity.

Every organ in your body is covered by a net
work of nerve wires These nerves convey the
power which runs the human machine. This
ing but electricity. The reason any organ be-
comes weak is because the nerves which control
it lack electricity. or nerve force. the motive
power of your body. This lack Of nerve force Is
shown by weakness Of any kind. whether in the
stomach. liver kidneys. heart or other organs.
IL your memory s poor. confidence and nerves
all gone; sleep restless: If you suffer frequent
headache and your eyes are dull and heavy, it
shows that your supply of nerve force Is depleted
So many try TO build up nerve force by
dosing their stomachs with drugs. Ii Is i'm
possible. What the nerves require is nOurish-
ment.nerye rood II there was any nourIsh-
