Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America of
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
"You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is, You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has a difforent taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
once saw-an urchin who, as he
stoned frog to death, repeated Sc
verely:
"Tll Earn We to be toad"

PEACE
OFFICER IS DEAD
Captain W. Glennon, for l6
Years With Palace Hotel,
Dies in San Mateo

Captain William Glennon, for 16
years house officer of the Palace hotel,
died yesterday morning at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. A. c. Boldemann, in
San Mateo. Captain Glennon has been
failing for six months and death came
quietly without pain.
Travellers the world over knew Cap
tain Glennon and liked him. He has
conducted presidents and princes
through the interesting places of the
city. He knew the old Chinatown like
a book, having had experience in the
oriental section as a sergeant of po-
lice.
When the new hotel opened in De-
cember, Glennon was in poor health
and was given his preference of join
ing the Palace staff or remaining at
the Fairmont. He preferred to stay at
the Fairmont. About three months ago
he gave UP his active duties and took
up his residence with his daughter.
For many years Glennon was a mem
Der of the Chinatown squad of the
local police. He had a reputation of
having captured more notorious GRIM
inals than any man in the department.
The deceased leaves a widow, Annie
Martinez Glennon, and two daughters,
Mrs. A. c. Boldemann and Mrs. Carl
Bach. He was 81 years old and was
born in Boston. The funeral will take
place from Mrs. Boldemann's home.

Cormack last night declared that he
would prefer to have the young people
view them to many others that are
constantly being thrown on the screens
of the cheap class of theaters. Dean
Mccormack said:
Personally if had to make a
choice, I would rather see the scenes
Of the prizefght exhibited than many
of the scenes that are permitted. In
one ca Sc, at least, one man gets aw-
fully punished. In the other he es-
capes scot free and leaves the inn
preston behind that he is somewhat of
a hero.
The problem is not should the pic
lures of the prizefight be exhibited, but
rather Is the moving picture show as it
is permitted to operate at the present
time a menace to public morals?"
