MAY DE sousA A BRIDE.

Chicago, May 9.-Miss May De Sousa,
musical comedy favorite, is a bride.
She was married Sunday, April "a, at
Haverstraw, N. Y, but the fact did
not become public until yesterday
Her husband is E. A Haines of Roch-
ester. Miss De Sousa is a Chicago
girl, the daughter of John De Sousa, a
city. detective. 1t has been reported at
times that she was engaged to an Eng
fish nobleman, hazily described as "a
duke or something of that kind" But
her patriotic father always denied the
rumors, saying: when May marries
it will be some good American gentle
man; I know she won't marry a duke
and live in another country with us
here" AS an actress, however, Miss
De Sousa is exceedingly popular on
the other side" She made a distinct
hit in London. She has been seen in
cinderella" 1.-THE Dollar Princess"
1.-THE Skylark," and other well known
successes. Just now she is leading
woman in James Forbes company in

and should she find as r4dch as torn
bit of lace there is q reckoning and
an immediate repair. At least once a
week the entire costume equipment is
sent to the cleaner, a duplicate set Of
everything being carried so that this
may be done. The cost of this weekly
cleaning with either of the two great
organizations presenting "The Merry
Widow" averages $500. At frequent
intervals consignments of new ''crea-
tons" from the famous Partisan cou-
fourier, Nine. Zimmerman, are receiv-
ed and at once forwarded to the COM
panies Mr.. Savage's original produc-
ton of the Lehar operetta not only in
augurated a new mode in the gigantic
hats that now bear the name of Merry
Widow, but it was also notable for the
fashion-making quality Of the gowns.
And as modes change rapidly in the
French capital, he is determined to
always keep abreast of the times. See
''The Merry Widow today in New Or
leans or see it in Seattle, and one is
absolutely certain to have view of
the very latest Partisan fashions in
gowns. hats, and all the many lesser
details of feminine apparel.

COLLIER, MASTER FARcEuR.

More care and attention is required
for the production of farce comedy
than is with any other class of amuse-
ment. The success of farce depends
upon the smoothness of the action, and
therefore, more care Is given to the
production of these plays than is to
any other. William Collier, who will
be seen at the Grand, Davenport, to-
morrow evening, is a past master in
the art of presenting farce as 1t should
be. He has secured a supporting COM
pany skilled in that profession and
has kept them intact as nearly as pos
sible for several years. In "a Lucky
Star" the new play in which he is to
be seen here, there are 80 speaking
parts, and of this number nine are in
the hands of players who have not
appeared with any other star for the
past 10 years. William Collier is rec
ognized as the foremost light comedian
of the day, and his appearance invar-
iably stands for the best obtainable in
light comedy. Mr.. Collier has only
just closed his New York season and
comes to the Grand direct from a fore
most run at the Hudson theatre, where
"a Lucky Star" was pronounced the
best vehicle in which the popular COM

PERFECTION IN PRODUCTION.

Henry w. Savage is noted the coun-
try over for the pinklike perfection of
the details Of the performance under
his direction. No matter how siren
uous the series OF "one-nighters," there
is never so much as a dropped stitch in
stocking, or the least stain on the
hem of gown when the curtain rises
upon Savage show" For instance,
the company presenting 1.-THE Merry
Widow" to be seen at the Illinois Fri
day, has been on the road continuous
ly for more than a year, yet, it is
claimed, every costume is as fresh, as
crisp and as charming as when this
famous Viennese operetta began its
triumphant career in New York. To
maintain this immaculate quality
means the expenditure of many thous-
ands Of dollars, the exercise Of great
ingenuity and the utmost care. This
season naturally saw the substitution
of an entirely new sartorial equipment,
matter involving a huge sum in
itself and the labor of the whole staff
of one of the most famous costumers
IN Paris. But even new gowns made
of the finest silks, satins and velvets
become quickly mussed and soiled
when worn on the stage, and it is in
the care to prevent this damage that
Mr.. Savage so particularly excels.
Every company under the Savage ban
ner carries as one of its most impor-
tant members mistress of the ward
robe. To this parsonage is directly in
trusted the task of seeing that no part
of any single costume is ever shown
before the public unless it is in per-
feet condition. She makes daily inspec-
tons with the aid of her assistants,

Americas Oldest, Newest Circus VIII
Visit Rock Island May 20.
People who imagine that "all cir
cuses are alike" will meet with many
genuine surprises and change their
opinions when they visit the oldest
and richest tented exhibition in ex-
istence, the "Old John Robinson's
10 Big Shows" The first surprise
will meet them when the pass
through the main entrance into the
largest menagerie tent ever con-
structed. Along each side of this
enormous canopy will be arranged
more cages and animal exhibits than
any other show ever owned. But
the new and surprising feature will
be the long line of camps stretching
through the center of the great tent,
where strange collections of human
ity from the ends and dark corners
of the earth will be seen, living in
exactly the same manner as they
did in their own lands so far away.
There are hundreds of these strange
beings, and in the center of the row,

the Cossack camp is pitched in close
proximity to the camp of the Japan
csc scouts, the latter all veterans of
the Russo-Japanese war, and they
often visit each other and talk over
their wartime experiences. 1t is the
most unique and comprehensive ex-
hibit ever witnessed anywhere and
will prove of intense interest to ev-
eryone.
The above is only one illustration
of the radically different way of do
ing things which is an established
characteristic of the greatest genius
that ever turned his fertile intellect
to the amusement and instruction of
his fellowmen, the "only" John Rob-
inson and his sons.

OH, YOU CHESTER!

Davenport Democrat Sunday ::
Chester Bishop! Who in all of Dav-
export does not know Chester, the
heavyweight thespian of the Prin-
cess Theatre Stock company? He is
the hero and idol of hundreds of
heart-smitten maidens in all quar-
tiers of the city. He is the mould of
fashion and the glass of form, set
ting the styles for men, woman and
children. Today the Chester Bishop
hat, the Chester Bishop lisp, the
Chester Bishop rouge, the Chester
Bishop swing, the Chester Bishop
couture, the Chester Bishop corset,
are all the rage. In smart toilets of
women, the Chester green has sup
planted the Alice blue.
Not only as a social arbiter but
also as a conqueror of hearts, he is
supreme. With the fair sex he is the
pippin of pippins He has all other
lally-gaggers backed off the boards
They fade into insignificance when
competing with Our Chester" He
has but to beckon and the fair demoi-
selles worship at his shrine Every
mail deluges him with letters con-
tanning requests for photos and pre-
texts for the honor of his acquaint-
ance. His name is household word.
Doting mothers are christening their
little ones after him in the fond hope
that they will emulate his greatness
At dances and other social func-
lions, coincident with his appearance
he is surrounded by a bevy Of fair
damsels who fairly smother him in
their clamOr for recognition. A smile
gladdens their hearts, a gesture of
recognition swells them with pride
with rapture.
"Our Chester" is the lion of many
pink tea. At the conclusion of ev-
cry performance at the Princess it is
necessary to break the blockade of
admirers waiting to get glimpse of
him as he enters the carriage which
is to convey him to his spacious suite
at the Hotel Windsor.
His admirers are not confined to
the city. known and worshipped in
davenport, Rock Island, Moline and
Bettendorf, Carbon Cliff, LIE Claire,
Buffalo, Princeton, Pleasant Valley
even to the innermost regions of the
Wapsie bottoms.
But alas, there is many a pang and
many a heartache in store for his
devotees. Chester Bishop-say it in
accents Lows going to end his sea-
son at the Princess today. The oc-
casion has been set aside as Chester
Bishop day. II AHiIl be a benefit for
Mr.. Bishop.
But there is hope that "Our Ches-
ter" is not to leave our midst. 1t is
announced he will be in charge of the
plays to be produced at the Airdome
during the coming summer and in
this field so appropriate for him, ap-
pearing before the 1920 and 80 cent
crowd in the bleachers, will again
favor the ladies with his captivating
presence.
Today's benefit performances at

events in the realms of theatricaIs

DR.. Gustav Andreen, president of
Augustana college, has been selected
to deliver the principal address at the
commencement exercises of the grad
uating class of the Rock Island high
school. These exercises are to be held
at the Illinois theatre June 8 and will
conclude the commencement weeks
program. Two years ago the custom
of having the president of the board
Of education present the diplomas to
the graduates with an appropriate adj
dress was discontinued and outside
speakers have since been secured for
the occasion. Professor Mclean of
Iowa university was the first to re-
spond to such a call and last year the
speaker was Professor s. H Clark of
the University of Chicago. This year,
on account of the extensive celebration
going on at Augustana college, it was
thought advisable to secure a speaker
from that institution, and the presi-
dent consented to make the commence
ment address.
Program of the Week.
The commencement exercises, while
the most important of the week, are
not the only ones, as there will be
something on the program nearly
every day. Rev. Granville H. Sher-
wood of Trinity Episcopal church will

cises will take place at the high school
auditorium and then comes the COM
mencement ceremonies on the follow,
ing evening. Saturday evening The
alumni will received the newcomers
into their midst at banquet at the
high school, at which J. F. Darby. for

jim HILLS PROPHECIES AND FEARS.

II 10 rather hard and difficult prob
lem to reconcile Jim Hill to his old
prophecies with those OF his latest ones.
He made heannouncemen' two or three
years ago that dire calamity would fall
upon the American people II the rail-
roads didn't spend several billions on
expensive Improvements. There was
not anywhere near that gum used in this
country, and yet we escaped the dire
calamity.
Now that we again have bumper crops
and reasonable prospects, Mr.. Jim tells
us that the railroad companies are not
ordering anything worth mentioning in
the way OF additional equipment or inn
provements. lie also predicts a series
OF lean years to come, with many unem-
ployed and thelcurtalment Of produc-
ton and trade, Really what has hap
pened in the past two years has revo-
lutionized the railroads and the indus
trial condition.
SO far, Jim's gloom has not overtaken
us, but now he claims that we are living
too high and that the "dire calamity
will surely overtake us in the course OF a
Jew moons.
Fortunately, ior us, there are those
who are always watching for the pot tC
boil over, but II even has not come to (
boil, so the anticipated calamity never
occurred.
Evidently Mr.. Hill goes "galahooting'
over the country making predictions o
calamity disasters in order to produc,
moral reaction, in the endeavor tt
make the average American either
hopeful and determined to prevent
calamity in business by prudence, com
mon sense and economy.

The Southern Pacific railroad have
decided to try new innovation in the
matter of feeding its passengers on the
train. With this end in view, the com
pany is having Etwo cars built which
will be called "lunch cars" and which
are to be especially designed for the
purpose of feeding people who ride in
the day coaches. No doubt but what
the lunch cars" will become quite
popular for those who ride in the
Pulmans, who would prefer light
lunch TO thatsof the expensive one in
the diner
The inside arrangement of the cars
will be about the same as that of a
short order counter in the city. The
cars will carry everything to be had in
the market In front of the counter in
stead of the revolving stools, will be a
comfortable high-backed revolving
chair, which will permit safety and
comfort while eating.

MAINTAINING OUR REPUTATION.

The unbroken line of victories which
Hood River has achieved in the sever
al apple shows around the country
maintains our reputation. 1t has got
to a point where we cannot afford tc
lose if we would keep at the head.
There is no reason why we should lose
if our standards are maintained, if we
put up an honest pack and make the
Hood River label a standard of excel
lence, which can be depended upon by
the buyer. The quality of the Hood
River apples cannot be excelled, or
even equalled, but the pack is being
closely initiated by our competitors.
1t is this reputation (which is Of the
utmost value to us in commercial
way. The heavy increase of acreage
all over the Pacific Northwest in ap-
Piles must make some difference in
time in market values. 1t is our ex-
cellence in quality and pack which will
be depended upon more and more in
the future TO give us the extra price
for the apple which is the profit. 1t
will be the best apples that will have
the first sale, and the best apples
which will be in demand for the high
priced trade. An extra ten cents a
box adds a profit of $50 an acre to the
grower who can produce 500 boxes per
acre, and adds $500 an acre to the
value of his land Let us maintain our
reputation and keep at the head of the
procession.

RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The results of the city election, in
spite Of the fact that two of the old
administration failed of election by a
narrow majority, is vindication Of
the work of the present administration
in their efforts to provide the city
with good water. If the new admin
istration carries out the wishes Of the
citizens and taxpayers, they will
continue the efforts of the present adj
mintration to secure a municipal water
system as soon as possible. The
council will stand as a majority on this
question-in .fact, five to one even il
the newly elected member opposes it.
1t is to be hoped that it will be unani'
nous, even to the mayor.
