Three Chicago Theaters
Dark During Holy Week

CHICAGO, Ill. April 9.-Because of
the increasing piety of Chicago's citi-
zens, three of the leading theaters in
the city are to be closed during Holy
Week They are all Shubert houses
the Garrick, the Lyric, and the Princess.
The Chicago vice commission, after a
protracted study of conditions here and
in fifty-two other American municipalI-
ties, expressed the conviction early in
the week that Chicago is nearer decency
and morality than most Of her sister
cities.
The action of the Shuberts seems to
strengthen this statement.
Holy Week is probably the poorest
week of the year for theater people, -
said the Chicago representative of the
Shuberts. 1T would be a waste of
money to play before such small houses
as We would be able to get. To save
expenses, We have decided to close the
three theaters until after Easter"

And likewise the guady colored

cred, for at this time the gun fires its
salute, and either the band or the
trumpeters are sounding appropriate
music or call.
Twenty-One guns, the number fired
in the international salute, were not
selected at random. The number was
chosen by our government because it
was the number long used by the Brit.
ish for their international salute. Why
the British used twenty-one guns was
no doubt due to an early custom which
had for a warship salute seven guns.
A fort was allowed to fire three times
as many guns as a warship, because
in those days it was difficult to keep
powder in good condition at sea. 1t
eould be kept in good condition on land,
and consequently the shore battery was
allowed a larger number, or twenty-One.
When the time arrived that better
powder was made and it could be car
ried at sea without deterioration the
warship was allowed the same num-
ber of guns as the shore battery. and
the twenty-one Of today are the result.

why came the rose? Because the sun

Found in the mold some atoms rare
and fine;
and, stopping, drew arid warmed them
into growing
Dust, with the spirits mystic coun.

What made, the perfume? All his
wondfous kisses
Fell on the sweet red mouth, till
lost to sight
The lowe became to exquisite and
vanished
Into a viewless rapture Of the night
why did the rose die? All, why ask
the question:
There is a time to love, time to
give;
She perished gladly, folding close the
secret
Wherein is garnered what t is TO
