horses that carried the Kendall colors
were always run on the level is mat
ter of history.
It was the ambition of George v.
Hankins, the Chicago gambler, to get
together a really great racing stable,
and he antedated Smith in that line
by some two or three years. Hankins
had accumulated a fortune of over
two million dollars, by gambling, and
real estate speculations, and he spared
no expense in getting the Chicago
stable together. When once he had
succeeded, sheltered beneath the caves
of his barn, were such great performers
as Jacobin, horse that could run a
mile better than / 40 and that placed
race after race to his credit: Hun
tress, mare that was regarded as
the best long distance performer in the
West, and that was killed In a rail.

ion; Uncle Bob, a horse that was
lucky enough to win the American
derby Of 1890, for the simple reason
that there was nothing in the race
for him to beat; Santalene, a fast
horse, and a frequent winner; Little
Minch, one of the fastest sprinters
on the turf in his day; Terra Gotta,
who ran second to Elkwood in the
Suberban handicap, and was only
beaten an eye1ash for the rich prize

Tom Kiley, who rode him, has always

Real estate speculations finally
ruined Hawkins, and his stable melted
away like snowflakes in the summers

horses that carried them were cele-

ten years Baldwin won the American
derby-in 1855 with volante, in 1886
with Silver Cloud, in 1883 with EN-.
peror Of Norfolk and in 1894 with Rey
Ell Santa Anita-but after that the
stable began to retrogade, and from
that time on it amounted to little.

the theatrical profession is crowded beyond
any possibility Of employment for a great
number in it would be still apparent.
9TH theater is not a field in which
fame and fortune are to be won by mere
entry and fair effort. 1t is an exacting
field. in which disappolntments abound and
troubles accumulate even for many well
fitted to labor I'm It. And i'm good times,
despite the growth of industry and the
multiplication of theaters, there would not
be room for one-half the r~esruits that con-
stantly seek the stage as a means of liveli-
hood.
Let those who contemplate an entrance
into theatrical life heed this. 1t would be
wen II many who already have adopted
that life were to ponder It. and seek open
ings in other fields. Surely many who
have tried the vocation OF acting with in
different success; who nave hoped and
waited in heartsickness for opportunities
that seldom come; who even when oc-
casionally employed have faced long
periods of idleness In expectation that
seems never to merge into realization,
many Of these, II they will think soberly
over the matter, should quickly conclude
that the most modest employment in some
other field, which seems to offer less Of
remuneration, yet assures what is better
in the end, from all points of view, a
casual chance and the uncertain tenure Of
a position as an actor.
"Fanciful stories Of large salaries no
doubt quicken the ambition that so many
hold to adopt the theater as a profession.

OMAHA UNIVERSITY NOTES
DIR. LOveIaBd Says, "We Are Coming
to Realize Idea OF h King
dom of CuIture,"

DR.. Frank L.. Loyelsnd, pastor OF the
First Methodist church, had charge Of the
chapel services Wednesday morning.
With tine growth in the spirit Of church
federation" he said, there is a growing
belief in nondenominational Christian edu-
cation. We are coming to realize that the
kingdom OF culture, like the kingdom of
God, is a great deal larger than the Meth
odist church, the Presbyterian church, the
Baptist church. or all the churches. We
are clasping hands, not only around the
cross Of a common Redeemer, but around
the idea of a common culture.
Resolved, That the United States gov
eminent should provide for a graduated
income tax, constitutionality granted" has
been selected for the subject Of the Joint
debate between the Young Mems Christian
association Debating club and the Utopian
Literary society, TO be held on February
rs, the latter team to uphold the affirma-
tive Of the question.
At the regular %bi-monthly meeting OF the
Utopian Literary society on Thursday these
officers were elected for the coming term:
Miss Beulah Hunter, president; Miss Zella
Beebe, vice president; Miss Jean Hamilton,
secretary; Earl Parker, treasurer; Miss
Pansy Williams and Thomas S. Hughes,
sergeants-at-arms.

Large salaries are paid to a few actors,
because Of their exceptional fitness for
well-defined service, or as a natural result
Of popularity won after years OF work with
the inevitable intervals Of idleness and dis
appointment. But the great majority Of
those who now hesiege managers offices
and haunt stage doors lack certain ele'
ments OF fitness that in other circum-
stances might serve them. or are practi-
catly without the experience necessary
even for the most minor places In the
theater. without that experience, and
with no present possibility OF gaining IT,
they should seriously consider a future
that can give them little but bitter disap-
pointment.
THE influx Of young women to the stage
is even more significant OF hopelessness
than that Of young men, for various
reasons. Aside from plays in which young
women are featured in mass-and these
vehicles afford little opportunity for artls-
tic advancement and should be the last
resort Of those who take stage work seri-
ously-the drama calls for fewer women
than men. That is to say, the cast Of the
average play requires twice as many men
as women. Yet the young women who
seek the theater outnumber the young men
two to one.
THE Mirror realizes conditions and
voices this warning. Young men
women should seek the stage not as a first.
but as a last, resort And even then, as
a rule, their experiences will be bitter and
disappointing rather than in line with hope
and expectation"

but light the box lights Sc that the back
rows of the orchestra could receive light
from that source. That, however, OF
course made the stage also light, and Mimi
and Rudolph looked for the lost key, which
they are supposed to be searching for in
darkness, the candle having been blown
out, and looked for 1t in a very well
lighted room; IL this accident should occur
again, the suggestion might be offered that
In order not to make the scene meaningless
and in order to preserve the dramatic truth
the principals might engage in a game Of
blind-man's-buff or something like that
while searching for the lost key.
But to return: in the first act Of La
Boheme," where the author burns his play
in order to get some warmth from the
starving stove-"a good long time since
its honest wages have been paid"-meaning
Of course, it had been devoid of fuel for
some days: while the first act of the
drama is burning, Colllne, the philosopher,
remarks that he finds it very sparkling
but that it's phrases are too short" as it
flickers out, and before the next act is
given to the flames, Marcel complains that
these foolish entr'actes make us SILVER"
Marcel remarks upon how true the colour
is." and when a leaf crackles in the flame,
he suggests that those ARE the kisses Of
the play.
Now these are Of course minor points
but yet they have a potency: the knowl-
edge OF these as the action proceeds,
makes or unmake the possibility Of COM
plete enjoyment. Whether you lead
from strength" or from weakness in
your bridge game is a minor point as COM
pared with winning the rubber" but it
has its place in the game, nevertheless.

Very many people unfortunately go to
hear opera, without knowing the first
thing OF what they are going to hear, and
they go home bored because they say it
was undressing or discouraged. because
they think it was far above them; or
annoyed. because they did not understand
a thing that was going on. BY the pur-
chase of a libretto beforehand they could

had a very pleasant evening Of keen en-
joyment. have gone home with a feeling
OF encouragement TO go again, and grand
opera would rave made a friend instead
OF an enemy.
But you say, where can one get a libretto?
That is the point exactly. I don't
suppose there is a Ibretto OF any Of the
operas to be had in a town like this, until
the day OF the presentation, and then at
the theater. One does not feel like buy
ing the whole score. piano and voice
parts, for the modern operas are expen-
sive. But through a local music store a
nbretto could be purchased. by order at
least.

- GAME of bridge was TO be played.
n 1t was one of those progressive
IN games, which the English people
R call a bridge drive Amongst
IEJaSM those present were many women
$3.50 who did not know the queen
OF hearts from the king OF diamonds; they
knew nothing of the rules of the game:
and yet they played. or rather, tried to
pley: and not only that, but they were
quite free in their criticisms Of the game,
and the man who invented II; they thought
IL was a very stupid, dull and uninteresting
affair. and they could not see why anyone
should be so foolish as to play 1t.
That is incredible, Is 1t not? Can you
thirk for a moment OF such a preposterous
case2 Can you imagine anyone being so
hopelessly illogical or so profoundly un-
reasonable as that?
And yet, just substitute the name Grand
Opera" for Bridge Drive and there you
are. Many people discuss grand opera in
exactly that way.
Last week we had a few performances
of grand opera: Of course, being SUM in
