Sweetest GIRL IN
PARIS" WILL PLEASE
ONE OF LARGEST MUSICAL COM
PANIES ON THE ROAD
Entire Chorus will Appear Here, To-
gether with Famous La Sale
Beauty Chorus.

Beauty Chorus.
The Duluth Herald said of the pro-
duction of the "Sweetest Girl in
Paris," which appeared there last
week:
Harem' skirt, massive green sky
piece, spangles and all, Trixie Frigan-
"a bounced on the Lyceum stage last
evening and proceeded to keep "The
Sweetest Girl in Paris" moving
through two bright and tuneful acts,
ably assisted by most competent
company of fun makers, and a big
chorus that is much above the ordin'
ary.
"The Sweetest Girl in Paris" is a
good example of what musical COM
edy should be. The production is
new, the costumes clean and fresh;
the company most capable, the music
tuneful enough to be whistled, and
entire production has a smart, up to
the minute tone that pleased the big
Labor Day audiences yesterday.
The libretto is by Addison Burk-
hardt, the lyrics by Collin Davis
the music by Joseph E. Howard, and
the production is owned by the La.
Sale Opera House Company Of Chi
cagO.
There is no use trying to deny the
fact that Miss Friganza is growing
stout-to put it badly, fat. She ad-
mits it herself, and makes capital OF
her weight. She has retained her old
high spirits, and the increasing avor-
dupois has not proved handicap to
her fun-making abilities.
Miss Friganza's chief assistants as
fun.makers are Robert Leonard, as
Duquesne Armstrong of Pittsburg,
Miss Myrtle Johnson, a buyer for
Chicago hosier, and Miss Cathryn
Rowe Palmer, as Annette, maid OF
all work.
Mr.. Leonard looks the part of the
Pittsburg millionaire son, with more
money than he knows what to do
with: He might have been fine
guard or tackle on a football team,
and his voice would win him place
in a college glee club. His three
songs were all we'll sung, with Il
love them all from A to z" standing
ing out as his best.
Miss Daisy Leon as Mary Blake, a
student of music, carries the heavy
feminine voice of the company. Miss
Leon would never take any medals in
tragedy or straight drama of any
kind. She speaks her lines as though
she had studied them all hours, but
she isn't bit lost when the spot
light is turned on and the orchestra
begins. She has voice that she
uses to advantage in her two songs
"Boys, Boys! Boys!" and "The Sweet
est Girl in Paris" and the numbers
are all too few.
Miss Friganza has three songs into
which she carries the inimitable fun
making ability she displays all thru
the piece. "That's How limitations
Look to Me-" was the scream Of the
show, and the singer received encore
after encore at both performances
yesterday. Don't forget the number"
has a whistlable air and catchy words
and Miss Friganza mixes the most OF
it.

lesuue maid of all work, was scream

given a vigorous hand when she went

One persistent and remarkable stum-

to contend with Is the reluctance of
parents Of sightless children to send
them to school where they can be

there are people so ignorant that they
do not know such schools exist, but 1t
Is q selfish affection which will allow

| Gated here.
Fully nifty years after the foundation
OF this Institute the first American
schools for tho blind were founded,
by DR.. Friedlandor. Of Philadelphia.
and DIR. Howe, OF Boston. DR.. Howe
had already educated Laura Bridgman
and DR.. Fricdlunder started tho school
at Overbrook. l'a.. which Is today one
OF the most progressive institutions in
tho country and possesses tho most
beautiful grounds Of any such school.
Since then. tho movement has grown
so TINT many States have Institutions
for tho blind. Although efforts are
made to prevent infantil, blindness.
and these schools arc. rs a rule, we'll
equipped, tho home teaching societies
In America arc inferior to those
abroad. Recently. the legislature OF
NJ assac husetts made an appropriation
to employ three blind teachers and
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania have
Homo Teaching Societies. but New
York has no appropriation for this
purpose. Neither are our libraries or
magazines for the blind equal to those
abroad. though Mrs. Zcigler estab-
lished Il magazine which will be print
ed both In Braillo and New York
Point. This raised print which Is uni
versally used Is tho invention Of Louis
Braillc. Il teacher In the National In
stituto for the Blind. He died without
seeing his alphabet adopted but 1t con-
sists of using six dots to represent the
various twcnty-six letters. The New
York point Is u horizontal adaptation
OF tho SIX points which In Braille are
used pcrpcndicularly.

certain occupations. Massage by tho
blind is an accepteu business in Lon.
don. in Japan out Of one thousand
masseurs, nine hundred were blind.
Their sense of touch is SO acute that
at Overlook massage is an important
part Of the curriculum.
| In fact, it is wonderful what the
blind can do II they are given an op-
portunity to learn and to apply their
knowledge. A blind electrician keeps
the bells and batteries in order In the
New York Association and two blind
girls act as secretaries in the Office.
This association asks the public to dic-
tate letters to these girls and to send
Photographic records and let them
typewritc them. They have pupils that
give shampooing, facial and scalp mas
sage, that tune pianos make baskets
Of RATA and sweet grass. knit and cro-
Chef, and prepare beadwork, especially
artistic lamp shades to match drapery
and walls. Every effort Is made to
have the public employ these trained
blind persons and to send them tickets
for concerts, theatres and lectures.
Present efforts for the blind may be
in their infancy, but certain things are
established as essential for their relief.
Among them are laws to prevent UNI
n eces sary blindness. kindergarten
training technical and manual train
ing. special classes for backward blind
children, scholarships for qualified
blind students, shops where the blind
can carry on their trades. home teach
ing associations, bureaus of information
employment bureaus, homes for aged
and infirm blind, free circulating IL
braries and reduced car fare for blind
people and their guides. But the stu

Of all Is occupation. Whether these

It is generally conceded that If a
child can be taken early in life and
taught, half Of the battle is won. Re-
alizing this. Cynthia Westover Alden
started the Sunshine Home for Babies
in Brooklyn. Previous to the opening
of this home there were only two
places where blind babies could be
cared form Boston and Hartford.
Twenty-Five babies are now in this
Sunshine Home. They come from va
ricus States. puny little things. fearful
of everything. Under the kindness
and kindergarten training they learn
to play. dig in the soil. jump and en-

is non-sectarian and all nationalities
are admitted. Some of the cases come
from spinal meningitis and scarlet
fever, but many instances Of blindness
in children are due to lack of proper
care at time Of birth and after. It
is conceded that over 80 per cent Of
blindness is unnecessary, rs per cent.
being caused by infant opthalmia,
which Is a preventable disease and for
which the law holds the person In
charge at the birth Of a baby respon-
sible. Few realize the number of
blind children among the poorer
classes and the influences that sur
round them often stunt them mentally
and physically. A blind child is apt
to lead a neglected life without the
play and study that other children
enjoy.
Gradually but surely the education
Of the blind is rising to higher plane
and the time will slowly come when
it will be provided for by an educa-
tional fund. It will then cease to be,
q charity and become an accepted
means of assisting persons to earn
their livings. This Is what the blind
desire. When it was decided to found

York Association was started, two
blind beggars who made a living in
this way, asked to be taught some
trade whereby they could feel SELF

ing understood that the blind excel in

right arm is we'll padded with soft
silk material. The duelling room Is
perhaps fifty by thirty feet. The floor
is bare and we'll spotted with blood.
Tables and chairs are placed around
the sides Of the room where the men,
bers Of the Korps may sit with their
wine while the duel is in progress
The different Korps do not intermin.
gle during these festive occasions, but
sit apart and encourage their members
who are fighting. The sword used Il
known as the "Schlaeger" and the
mode Of fighting with it is said to be
excellent exercise. The blade is about
three and a half feet long and half an
inch in breadth. The entire front edge
is sharp as well as part Of the back
of the blade. The end is not pointed,
but rounded. The fighting Is done
from the wrist and the slightest move
ment Of the head. even though 1t be
unintentional or accidental, would
suggest cowardice and cause q dismis-
sal from the Korps. The four main
strokes are called Teri, Prim. Quart
and Durchzieher. The last stroke,
with the wrist turned back. Is extreme
ly difficult and unless the opponent
keepr' his point well down you can
run your Schlaeger underneath his
blade and give him cut under the
left side Of the chin. This Is termed
pull through"
There Is great art In Schlaeger fight
ing, and where two men are we'll
matched the duel is long one. The
face alone is slashed: how deep the
wounds are made shows in the faces
Of SO many noted Germans. A scar
from Heidelberg is regarded as an
honor, and no effort Is made to efYace
the mark after it has healed. The
most serious duels sometimes reach
forty-five rounds and are ARRANGED by
special court of honor composed OF
students. When the two combatan,s
face each other the umpire demands
silence. and at the word CO." the
men begin. Blood often flows a, the
first slash. Frequently q second will
have the duel stopped while he ex-
amines 4 wound or wipes away the
blood. A surgeon il always present
and he too examines the slashes from
