The Girl In The Taxi" a melange
of melody. mirth and merry-making,
comes to the Opera House tomorrow
night.
The Girl In the Taxi" created a
sensation alike in Berlin and Paris,
and upon its production in New York,
Chicago and Boston last season scored
an unqualified triumph, remaining in
each city for run Of six months. Pub
lie and press are unanimous in &C
claiming this adoption from the French
the greatest laugh-producing enter
tainment ever presented in this coun-
try and the phenomenal success which
has rewarded its production bears out
this verdict. From curtain to curtain
the merriment never ceases, except to
permit of the introduction of refresh
ing musical and dancing specialtias
which are seized by the audience as
breathing spots in this Marathon of
mirth.

"The White Sister.

1t may not be generally known but
it is a fact, nevertheless, that the last
act in the life of the late F. Marion
Crawford, the famous writer of tic-
ton was to afiX his autograph of
approval upon the dramatization of
his widely read novel The White Sis
ter" in which work Walter Hackett
elaborated. At the time. Mr.. Craw-
ford was lying at the point Of death in
Italy, whittier he had gone in hope Of
recovering his health. Mir. Hackett
was residing in Chicago and during
the entire year it took to make the
dramatization the work was accom-
Iplished by mail. so that it may be said
the play Of "The White Sister" was
evolved through correspondence.
It seems a pity that the distinguish
ed author of such an enduring work
was not permitted to live long enough
to see the actual fruits of so fine a
conception. Surely would he have
been more than delighted over the I'M
animous verdict of the clergy, as we'll
as the press, who, wherever THE
Whit Sister" has been presented have
eulogized it's uplifting qualities and
have given it place among the few
plays which appeal not only to the
most intense side of romantic nature
but to religious sentiment, regardless
of creed.
The story of THE White Sister" has
been so loudly eulogized as one of the
most absorbing imaginable, that the
play, dramauzation faithfully made,
is bound to be of special interest in
definitely.

MThA ChnrnS Lady"

The Chorus Lady" which comes to
the Opera House on Nov. 18th for an
engagement of one night, was one of
the biggest successes of the season in
New York where it ran for one solid
year. The New York World criticises
as follows:
"The Chorus Lady" by James
Forbes, which was presented at the
Wallack's Theatre last night, proved
to be one of the best comedies of the
season. Not only did the author pro-
vide four acts of keen enjoyment, but
he introduced character entirely new
to Broadway. In developing his play
of love and intrigue off and on the
stage. Mr.. Forbes used material that
was very novel and he clothed his
characters with new raiment and drew
them so true to life that they pleased
the finer sensibilities. The first scene
Patricia in the guise Of a chorus girl
out of a job. Some of the slang may
miss fire with the general public, but
there is enough to appeal to the lay
mind to carry it. The second act rep
resents the chorus room of a New
York Theatre and proved to be one Of
the brightest, with its score of girls
and the general trend of life behind
the scenes. The third and fourth acts
have just the required amount OF
strength and it was in these that the
real dramatic action occurs and they
held the audience in breathless uncer-
tainty until a moment before the cur
tain fell. The play is a model of pure
cCmedy.

approved by the Attorney Genera, OF ths
United States
In a recent address Attorney Genera.
Wfckersham called attention to the opera
ton or this new law. He showed that
during the year ending June 30, 1911. tho
federal parole board had considered c1t
applications for parole Favorable action
was recommended in "a OF these cases
ana Zl9 approved by him Paroles were
refused by the board in 40 cases \
peculiar fact In connection with tho
parole Is that four prisoners actually re-
FUSED TO accept the parole. The success

but 1t shows that instead of being a
charge on the government the prisoners
at liberty on parole actually earned dur
ing that portion OF the year the sum OF
S21 ,SS1.40.
In speaking OF extending the federal
parole system to liz prisoners the At
torney General called attention TO the
fact that considerable thought and dis
cussion had been devoted to the a,Ies.
ton as to whether or not the benefits OF
the parole law should be extended to
this class. The statutes OF some states
make life prisoners eligible to pa
role after they have actually served a
long term OF years. Under the federal
statutes prisoners sentenced to a term
or. say. thirty years are eligible for pa
role. but the Attorney General adds:
Probably no greater moral dereliction il
involved IN the commission Of the crime
or murder in the second degree, for
winch a life sentence is imposed, than
making power considers reformation con-
ditional to liberation, and reinstatement
to normal position in society possible
in the case of one who has been con-
Nlcted or a crime which may be punished
by term OF imprisonment so long as TO
be practically equivalent to a life term
IT Is difficult to say why the same pos
sibility and hope OF reformation and con-
ditional liberation should not he extended
to one convicted OF murder under cir
cumstances not punishable by DEATH
The Attorney General closed his re-
marks by saying: Where there is life
there should be hope. 1t may be far Off
delayed-a dim. distant possibility-but
II would seem that il should be held out
as possible attainment to the mean
est wretch who is allowed to live The
justice of man should aim at the per-
lection Of Divine justice and though
finite wisdom, not knowing the hearts
of men, may not always deal Justly with
offenders, yet IL should not entirely shut
the gates of mercy against even the

was to find out if possible the effect the
play had upon the prisoners. and whether
1t would really aid in the reformation of
any of the men An unusually striking
and well thought out criticism was writ

said Mr.. La Dow. This dinner usually
consists of the same things a man would
obtain on the outside. Then there is di
ne service during the day. and in the
talent furnished by the prisoners them
selves.
1.-The Christmas dinner will include
roast turkey. dressing, baked potatoes
gravy, fruit and nuts, bread, butter and
coffee. At Leavenworth and Mcneil Is
land the dinner will be similar. The cost
of these dinners to Uncle Sam is much
less than one would suppose from reading
the list. This is because most of the ar
ticles are raised on the farms and gar
dens connected with the Institutions and
cultivated by the prisoners themselves.
The turkeys are about the only things
not produced on the premises. All din
ners are preceded by a blessing asked by
the chaplain connected with the inStitu-
ton.
During the administration Of Attorney
General Wickersham, continued Mr.. La
Dow, there has been a great change in
the treatment of prisoners at federal
prisons, and | notice that progress Is a so
being made along sim lar lines in state
institutions. Within the past year INCL
Sans prisoners have been perm tied to
play base ball. Recently at Atlanta the
warden, at dinner one day. told the men
that that afternoon they could repair to
the base ball grounds, which is inside the
prison wall, and each man would be al
lowed to take camp chair so that he
might be seated while watching the game.
I'm addition, he added, every man would
be allowed to smoke and talk with his
neighbor. 1t was expressly stated by the
warden that from and after that game it
would be looked upon a privilege the
same as other privileges. to be gained by
good conduct and obedience to the rules
of the institution. After the first game,
games were arranged to take
place every Saturday afternoon, between
mines selected from different parts of the
institution. For instance. one Saturday
the game would be played between the
east wing and the west wing: another
time a game would be arranged between
the men employed in the kitchen and dim
ing rooms, and the men from some other
part of the building.
