lam A. Brady gave this piece it's orig
inal production in New York city some
seasons ago, it found such men as
Douglas Fairbanks, Frank MacVickers,
Frederick Perry and George Fawcett
playing important roles in the cast.
The play may be said to be distinctly
a ''man's play and the characters in
which these men appeared caused their
recognition and advance to stardom
This is true, with the exception of
Frank MacVickers, who was having a
play written in which he was to have
been starred, when he met an un-
timely death, while still engaged in
playing the role of the political boss,
Horrigan, in THE Man of the Hour"
Douglas Fairbanks originated the
role of Perry Carter wainwright dur
ing the plays long run in New York,
Chicago and Boston. He has since
been elevated to a starring position,
as has George Fawcett, who was re-
Gently seen in Los Angeles in 1.-The
Great John Canton"
For many years Mr.. Broadhurst has
written plays for men, but he has
now turned his attention to the prefer
ence of women, and is engaged in
work on two new plays for feminine
stars, which may be produced at the
Belasco theater before they are given
their New York hearing.

MORE OR LESS OF
LOCAL CHATTER

Miss That's Magrane, leading woman
of the Belasco stock company, says
she is afraid to watch a play from
the audience The last time she at
tempted it, in the middle west, the
stress of emotional acting was such
that she tainted, and had to be as
sisted from the theater. ''NeVer
mind" said a good matron consoling-
ly to her in the foyer, where she was
recuperating. You won't mind it a
bit when you get used to it." "And
yet they say that Il player is a mere
automaton!' concludes Miss Magrane,
in telling the story.
Variety in impersonation has notice

he seemed to have right presum ptiVe
doubtless a personal bore-to any
and every juvenile. Now-and possi-
bly, Stage Manager Hartford is re-
sponsible for the change-we see Mr..
Mestayer as Kaneko, who never was a
juvenile, and again as the German
clerk in The Crisis'-the latter
vaguely a juvenile, but more obvious
ly a German. ] venture the sugges-
ton that characterization, not type
portrayed, is Mr.. Mestayer's true me-
tier. In life there are no Juveniles,
but tOlerable diversity of characters.
The difference is that between Butter
ick's fashions and a Dickens novel.
The patrons of the Unique have

The VIEW OE AN EXPERT

The truest sign of a peoples civili-
zation is it's comedies. Good comic
writer's only spring up in communi-
ties of men and women where percep-
tions are quick, many ideas have ready
flow and the merely emotional is alb
sent. The place to learn playwriting is
not on the stage, but in the audience.

Corn and Hogs.

Most farmers believe that corn,
and corn alone. with plenty of wat
er, is sufficient TO grow and fatten
hogs, These animals are more fond
Of corn than any other one diet and
will eat more of it thananything els,
Therefore corn should be the cher
part of ration to make pork. Bat
corn alone is not sufficient to grow
bacon, it is a fattener and contains
very little albumenOid. Hogs need
other things to develop bone, mus
Gle and lean meat. Clover, COW
peas, alfalfa, tankage, cottonseed Or
oil meal, wheat bran, all of these
carry a good percentage of protein
and some one or more should enter
into every ration for a feeding pen
and especially for growing pigs,

to the will and purposes OF God;
thus we see the hope of the Chris
tan blending with the stern real
tiles of death and kindling path of
light to the throne Of God. She
was admired by those who knew her
for the traits of character that con-
stituted her noble woman, a fond
mother, an affectionate wife. Sad,
indeed, the scene, when death pals
a home with such bereavements.
How hard the separation of the
grave, as futurity is a gulf whose di-
menisons no eye can take and
on whose misty surface no wreck
is seen. Hope In death is a Heav-
en-appointed Solace, and we'll may
we believe that she fell asleep
with the ever-abiding presence of
God soothing the pangs of death
and lifting her vision to the city
of eternal life. Such death is
more to be desired than all the
gold that misers ever counted or
the crowns that tyrants ever be-
slowed.
Husband, children, you may see
her again. The bow of promise is
seen arching the heavens and
reaching down to earth to impart
its radiance to the gloom of the
grave. Love to her memory and
peace to her dust. .J.M.M.

Wednesday morning, November

took its flight to the fields of inn
mortality.
She was the wife of William
Moore and daughter of James and

her death was about forty-seven
ears of age, She leaves husband
and ten children, the youngest child
being only three years old. She
was a patient sufferer unable to
walk, for over two years, and was
truly a model Of Christian resigna-
ton, "meekly waiting" the end
which came as peacefully and glor-
iously as summer sunset.
She expressed her willingness to
go and said she was fully resigned
