Many Stars Brought Forward by
 Robert Edeson

'There is considerable satisfaction,
 says Robert Edeson, who comes to the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night, in his own play, Where the Trail Divides" 'in looking back over your theatrical career and noting the achievements Of members of your. various. companies. must have some of the feeling of the hen watching over her chicks in regard to my companies, for I always feel a fatherly interest in every player down to the most humble. During my career as, a star I have had the pleasure of sec ing six former members of my con- panies become full-fledged stars in pop ular successes, while Us many more come forward from minor roles to leading parts in Broadway successes The most recent acquisition to the stellar Sfield is Miss Helen Ware, who is achieving such pronounced success in a new military play, The Deserters.' Miss Ware was with me for several seasons and I al- ways prophesied a big future for her, as she showed early all The artistic ten dencies that go into the makeup of a great emotional actress. It was one of the most enjoyable moments of my life when I was privileged to attend the Hudson M lsh. theatre, @ New f5rS and go back ce and congratulate Miss Ware.
 Another of my former players was jolly Frank Mcintyre, who scored SO wonderfully in The Travelling Salesman MT. Mcintyre was the comedian with me in 'Strongheart' and Classmates and we all hated to see him go, as he enlightened many a blue afternoon on the trains and in the one-night stands with his ready wit and constant good na- ture. Dorothy Donnelly, who is doing such wonderful work in Madame X,' was another for whom ! always prognos-. ticated big things, and it> was no sur prise to me when the New York papers

posed to have invented, among other things, a machine for making gas from crude oil There was no thought in the authors minds of a real invention, but thiswas used only as any other might, part of the play. To MT. Bacon, how ever, it suggested the possibility of a ma chine that would create gas from crude oil, on the principle of natural gases that are found in the coal regionS.
 In the actors hotel a working model is nearly ready to be sent to Washington for the obtaining of patent. MT. Bacon having succeeded in crude way in tually accomplishing the playwrights idea. He has obtained an Illuminating gas by his secret process and only needs the completion of storage tank that will be non-communcable with the oil supply to prevent denger of explosion by ignation. When this Is done MT Bacon believes he will have an invention that will supply gas to cost less than 15 cents per 1000 cubic feet, safe and simple in its mechanism and handling and of partcu- lar value in rural districts far removed from electric and gas plants.

French Thoroughness

With the characteristic thOroughness ot the French Madame Sarah Bernhardt has attended to every detail of her ac- cessories. To the consernation of her managers, she brought to America sev- eral hundred tons of scenery, costumes and stage properties billed to MT Con- nor, c. O. D. She literally empties her Paris storehouse of it's entire outfit of costumes. props and scenic investl- ture.
 The list of properties alone, as sched- uled in the invoices, covers several pages of closely typed matter, and shows that each play is to be presented without a single duplicate or double, even to the smallest jar of flowers or the most in- significant grass mat.
 "Of course, I didn't suppose that the 'moyen age sets for Jeanne d'Arc' would be made to do service in Camille '' said MT. Connor, but I did think that the same flowers used in La Sorcere' might be made to bloom in 'L'Aiglon' and the troops in La Tosca' might De since they are of the same period and the same army. allowed to wear the same uniforms they donned in the serv- ice of the Little Eagle "

Sarah Bernhardt

Madame Sarah Bernhardt the great French tragedienne, is so peculiarly asso- ciated with one of the greatest of her plays" Camille" or in the French, Le Dame aux Camelias' that her appear ance in this celebrated and favorite play at the Jefferson theatre on March 23 Will be an event of more than usual dramatic interest. Madame Bernhardt's Camille is so strikingly true that the character has become world famous over the foot lights.
 Many actresses have assayed the role of this beautiful consumptive of the aristorcratic demi-nionde of Paris. put none have made her live and die, carry ing her suffering to the heart of all be- holders as Madame Bernhardt. Critics may chatter that the play is sentimental, morbid, untrue to life and dangerous to morals, but it will live long after the chatterers are hushed and for years to come 1t will be associated with the ac- tress who now reveals her unconpaIap art to men and women.
 The drama is so well known that little need be said of it's plot. It is the story of deep and sincere love and the acme of human sacrifice, portrayed by beau- tiful girl whose environment has smotn- cred her better nature and turned wom- an intended for nobleness into creature of the under world. There we find her when Armand Duval enters her life. Love come to her and we see this butterfly grow and develop into beautiful and sincere woman with going all the old life of lrx,ry. Then the sacrifice of this new found happiness is demanded of her by Armands father, and we see her relapse and become again figure of the under world, so beautiful in sorrow, and so sad in her suffering and final death.

 "The more I see of the United States the more delighted am with this great and progressive country. I truly believe that by the time have finished my tour I shall want to remain in this country for the rest of my life, and that is saying a good deal for girl who has been born and reared in England.
 If Miss Glenne is still single when she reaches Birmingham there is no reason why she is not likely to remain in the United States permanently.

It has the distinct honor of receiving the unanimous praise of the press on it's opening in New York at the Herald Square theatre. It also had a run of five months at the Whitney opera house in Chicago. It Is the most elaborately staged production in America and is said to contain more novel features than all the other musical comedies combined The faceograph and the electrical aerial swing are distinct novelties, the latter being one of the most wonderful pieces of stage craft ever de- vised. It is a steel structure weighing over 4OO0 pounds and illuminated With over o00O electric lights It requires three ma chinists, which the company carries, to handle this wonderful electrician effect and takes three large scene trucks t., transport it from the baggage cars to the theatre This is only one of the many novelties.
 Mr. Gates has spared no expense in staging the attraction and the New York Telegraph said 1t was the handsomest costumed company on Broadway. It re- quires two baggage cars and three coaches to transport the 'Three Twins company and they generally travel by special train. The company is headed by Victor Morley, who was associated with Richard Carle in The Spring Chicken until he created the title role in Three T'wius' at the Whitney opera hous, Chi caeo. others in the company are Bessie Clifford, E. P. Bower, Frank Smith. ward wade, Helen DuBois, Minnie Allen

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try
This Remedy at Our Risk.

Catarrh is a disease of the mucous
membrane The mucous membrane is,
one may say, the interior lining of
the body. Catarrh therefore may
exist in any part of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma
ture fails to throw off the accumu-
lated poisons. The organ which has
been afflicted ceases to perform it's
proper function as nature intended it
should The result is, complication
upon complication, which may lead to
other even more serious affections
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrh. 1t is made from the
prescription of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh,
and his great success with this rem
edy was an enviable one.
We want you, if you are sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-Tone a thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persistency
for a reasonable time, then If you
are not satisfied, come back and tell
us, and without question or formality
we will hand back to you every cent
you paid us. This is certainly the
fairest offer that any one could make
and should attest our sincerity of pur-
pose. 1t comes in two sizes, prices
so cents and 81. Remember you can
obtain it only at-The Rexall Store.
