DR.. Stafford, for many years pro-
fessor of chemistry in the Medical
College of the University of Nash
Vile, used to tell his students ia

together to ascertain the explanation
of statement that when two glasses
of water of equal weight are balanced
on the beams of balance scale and
a frog is then put In one of the yes

ton that frog has no weight whel.

had his own explanation. and there
was much heated argument and dis

men said: but is your statement
true? Let's prove It," OF course when
it came to proving it, they couldn t.
So when you hear people say that
Coco-Cola is injurious, just ASH

can, because it is not injurious. But
on the other hand it can be proved
that it is not injurious by chemical
analysis. Or if you are not chemist
yourself why not accept the verdict
of every competent chemist who ever
analyzed it? Eminent College and
University chemists, government,
and state and city chemists--all he~e

Five years To a day after the pro-
duction of The Clansman. Thomas
Dixon brought out, ct Norfolk w.
Va. his latest drama. The Sins of
the Father" II was received by ire
mendous crowds. and with great en-
thusiasm. but presently 1t provoked
a controversy that was even more
| bitterly fought than the controversy
over THE Clansman," while Mr..
Dixon's old time opponents were in
full cry of pursuit of the new work,
one of the leading players in the
company lost his life by drowning
In the emergency, Mr. Dixon, who
was accompanying the play on its
travels and making speeches be-
tween the acts, went on the stag,
himself and read the actors lines.
Unexpectedly to himself and per
haps to the outside public. he at
once established himself as an actor
of sterling worth. When the play Wis
tied Atlanta all of the papers united
in praisng his Interpretation of the
leading part
Finally Geo. H Brennan engaged
him specially. at the largest salary
ever paid a new star, to make tour
of Texas cities.
And so he is coming here to
the Shelton theatre Friday, Febru-
airy To- heading his own company, in
what many people have styled the
latest and greatest Dixon drama,
THE Sins of the Father. Thus con-
troversy has he'd the effect of making
the former Baptist clergyman tho
star actor of his own production.
| The play itself deals with vital so
cial problem. The complications are
| caused by the suspicion that one of
| the characters is tainted by an adj
| mixture of negro blood.

about it, and a continuous interest
| that holds and entertains. Polly is 4
star rider in the circus that has just
| come to a staid old town in the mid
die west. The circus pitches its tent
next to the parsonage. Polly meets
with an accident, and is brought into
the minister's house, unconscious.
The parson, the two protectors OF
the girl-Toby. the clown, and Mo
ther and Jim the boss canvassman
to care for her
Polly stays at the parsons home
for eleven months and during that
time she has learned to love and be
loved by all of the younger folks,
The inevitable of course happens;
Polly and the minister fall in love,
and to the scandal of the proper par
ishioners. Polly hears how she is
dragging down the clergyman gooo
name, so she decided to go back to
the circus and not reveal her PAS
sion.
A month after her departure the
circus comes again to the town, ana
the big tent is packed, all eager TO
see Polly ride. Polly who was i'll

The play ends, of course, with Pol

Savage English Opera Company and
then went to Germany to sing in the
HOf-Theaters, as the theaters under
state control are called there. Miss
Gale has sung her favorite role OF Brunn-
hide in Die Walkure" before Cosima
Wagner, an honor not easily won.
The Imperial Theater is beginning to
take on a completed look With the
removal Of the front obstructions and
the laying Of the sidewalk, things be-
gin to show progress. Equal speed has
been made on the inside, and the scat
folding has been removed. while the
auditorium will shortly be ready to re-
ceive the seats.
A slight impression OF the finished
beauty of the playhouse can be gained
from the present state Of the front, but
even this can give but a slight impress
sion Of the beauty of the interior deco
rations.
In THE Girl Of the Golden West"
which Henry W. Savage will present in
English this season, Puccini has, for the
first time, completely abandoned the
leitmotif idea which is so conspicuous
in his other works. The one motif"
which occurs in the role of the lover
(Johnson), and which occurs in every
ensemble, consists simply of five notes,
{. d, f, F, and G, in rotation and coun-
ter-rOtation. Through the rhythmical
blending of these tones in three-four
time Puccini has attained marvellous re-
suits.
Paul Armstrong two years ago turned
out one of the most successful melo-
dramas of recent years in Alias Jimmy
Valentine Inspired by that success,
he collaborated with Wilson Mizner in
writing The Deep Purple" which the
Messrs. Liebler & Co. will present at
the Belasco early in November. The play
is a story of New York life, and its fas-
cinating exposition of the underworld, it's
rapid action, stirring scenes, and vivid
dialogue made 1t one of the big successes
of last season in New York and Chicago.

After a long rehearsal the other day,
Miss Charlotte Walker, who appears at
the Columbia Theater tomorrow in THE
Trail Of the Lonesome Pine" went into
one of the tea gardens which are part
of the afternoon life Of the big hotels in
most cities nowadays, and ordered a cup
of tea. To a friend who accompanied her
Miss Walker unbosomed herself to the
extent of saying that the wonderful
phenomena of fashion paralyzes the optic
nerve, as one finds it in the fullest of
grandeur at such function. Miss Walk
er is seldom interviewed, but whenever
she is in q talkative mood she says some
very interesting things. While in the
accepted sense a tea at a fashionable
hosiery is a gathering of the Intelligent
elite" not necessarily any one class of So
cial arbiters-fOr instance, the upper
forty or the sacred ten'-the small
gossip that comes to the ears of one who
is alert is often diverting. Over a cup
of tea and lemon social mind is readily
created. as a highway to new ideas. In

ARCADE'S SECOND WEEK.
Popular Resort Presents Another
Interesting Programme.

Tomorrow the Arcade, Fourteenth
street and Park road, starts into the
second week OF it's season, and the
daily increasing patronage of the first
week gives promise of a record-breaking
popularity.
In the skating rink the management
is paying particular attention to the aft
ernoon sessions and the morning sessions,
when beginners are welcomed and given
the benefit of free instruction by the
manager and his assistants. The best
rink in the country" is the boast of
the management.
Afternoon bowling is another feature
that is being given especial attention
This innovation is partly for the benefit
of the women patrons. The big ball
room is open to the public every even
ing except Fridays, when admission Is
by card only. Among the features" is
the exhibition Of the wonderfully trained
f1eas. Music at all sessions in the skating
rink is another of this seasons innova-
tons.

fact, such teas bring together little
groups fairly teeming with a desire for
ennobling and uplifting thoughts. A
group of people, If 1t does not possess a
social mind, is a mere heterogeneous
mass, and, as Miss Walker was over
heard to remark to her friend, the value
of social mind is indicated by the fact
that 1t receives only such ideas as prom
ises uplift, especially when the cup is
tilted Upward and held aloft while a
friend expiates on the decadence of the
drama. For a change the debutante may
touch lightly" said Miss Walker to her
friend, ''on the wonderful modern phe-
nomena of fashion, as she observes 1t
over the neighboring table, II she has ac-
CURED the art of expressing herself with
deft mental gymnastics. Maiden aunts,
however, may wander at will in the maze
of the stable standards of esthetic
values, and, without fear, condemn that
line created by social art laws, beyond
which fashion must fear to tread. and
which is reassuring in this age OF hobble
skirts and headpiece monstrosities."
