THE EASIEST WAY"

David Belasco, at the Grand last
night gave us Frances Starr in Eu-
gene Walters pointed story of New
York chorus girl life, The Easiest
Way" Few plays of the present dec
ade have occasioned as much varied
discussion. 1t has been attacked and
commended respectively for the
cOarseness of theme and for its pow
erfulness of moral. Walter is, or was,
a newspaper reporter. He has fol
lowed the lives of two people. a man
of wealth and a girl with stage ambi-
lions. over the trail of the great white
way for the material for his stage aar-
rative. He has simply employed facts
and conditions as he has found them,
and has not been obliged TO exaggerate
in driving home tho lesson that he
has sought TO impress. In the unTav-
cling of his text he has ignored the
proprieties and presented the whole
picture, and it is not a pleasant one
10 view, although it must be conceded
that the author has preached a ser
mon that ought to leave a lasting i'm
preston upon the mind of any girl
that might have in contemplation the
pursuit of the road followed by Laura
Murdoch, a young woman of beauty,
appealing wholly TO the bestial in
man, but devoid of the attributes most
essential TO success in the career in
which she is striving to succeed.
Laura Murdoch is able to secure a
theatrical engagement in New York
through the influence of a man of
wealth, whose mistress she becomes.
She lives in luxury. After two years
of this life she drifts to Denver to
play in a stock company during the
summer season. She meets young
newspaper man. She falls in love
with him and he with her. At the
end of her engagement they separate.
She returns to New York and he re-
mains in the west to earn money that
he might soon be able to marry her.

HENRY LEE DEAD,

Chicago. Nov. 10.-Henry Lee, the
well-known actor, died yesterday af-
ternoOn at the Presbyterian hospital of
pneumonia, at the age of 50. On the
legitimate stage Mr.. Lee was best
known for his English Interpretation
of the character of Cyrano de Berger
&C, which he introduced to the Amer
lean stage. He also won fame for his
representations. Connected with the
theatrical profession since early boy
hood, his fortunes were varied. At
times he had millions, while again he
would be without dollar. Some
years ago with Barney Barnato, after
ward known as the South African dia-
mond king, he went to South Africa
and invested heavily in diamond mines
but inattention TO business caused him
to lose the entire amount invested.
He returned TO America with his fin
ances at a low ebb. Lee piled up an
other fortune and lost II endeavoring
to produce moving-picture exhibitions
in large theatres when that form of
amusement was first introduced. He
successfully produced several large at
fractions al the White City. Recently
he met with severe reverses and died
penniless His friends are subscribing

but until sufficient money can be
raised the funeral arrangements can
not be made. He is survived by wife

Have Now Fought ~ Rounds

three-minute rounds of boxing be
tween Abe AtteIl. champion feather
weight of America, and owen Moran,
who holds the title for the same
weight in England, the only decision
that could be rendered would be a
draw The last six rounds of this
long drawn-out and remarkably even
battles were contested at the National
Athletic club last night, and at the
gait the boys were fighting they could
very easily have taken it to 100
rounds with no danger of different
decision being rendered.
Neither man tried to win last night
and yet they did lot of clever things
in the ring Attell did his part better
than Moran and occasionally put in a
little jolt to wake up the Englishman
and make him show action. but neither
attempted to take any unfair advan-
tage over the other.
The spectators did not like the bout
a little bit, and were not slow in show
ing their disapproval in boots and

GOING IS SANDY
Chicago Motor Club Contest
ants Make Slow Time from
Quincy to Peoria.
WORST ROADS YET FOUND
Several Check in Barely in Time to
Escape Penalties-OnIy One
Given Bad Marks.

Peoria, H., Nov. 10.-Yesterday S
march from Quincy to this place, the
third leg of the 1.0O0-mile reliability
run of the Chicago Motor club, was
almost a sweeping victory for the
clean score contestants. When the
last car checked in here last night af-
ter the long trip of POS miles, only
one addition was made to the penalty
list, this being the No. Halliday,
which drew 50 points for clutch trou-
bic and adjustment to the carburator.
This leaves out of the 81 conte5ting
cars still in the run total of IS per-
feet scores with the penalties shared
between the remaining nine.
The journey yesterday was by far
the hardest of any of the trips. The
roads were for the most part in mis-
cradle shape and the reporting of only
one break in a clean slate came as
big surprise.
Bad Roads Have Eject.
The condition of the highways made
itself evident, however, in the run
ming time. number of the machines
found it a hard job to keep up with
the schedule ranging from Is 10 20
miles per hour. and several checked
in barely in time to beat out penalty.
The No. los Imperial was the last
to arrive. due TO tire trouble, but no
penalty is likely. The judges failed
to act or the case, simply posting a
NO report mark The tiny No 1913
Hupmobile was another to find the go
ing hard, and checked in at 6:24, but
in time to escape any black marks.
Sand Is Bad.
What caught most of the cars was
the heavy, deep sand. For mile after
mile this kind of road was encountered
and many found it necessary to back
up and start over again in order TO
gain enough momentum to pillow
through the sand, which in spots was
hub deep.

was held up for three hours on sur
faces of this kind, but finally worked
out after an afternoon of effort.
