The. theory that a child should not

career is to be that of an actor or
actress, is simply absurd. l am in

our committee with the committee
OFF the Child Labor Law even so emf
nent a man as DR. Felix Adler made
the assertion that there was no he
cessity for d child to go on the stage
until it is fourteen; he hoped to have
law passed prohibiting it until it
was sixteen, as the dramatic schools
would fill all the bill of preparation

Signor Espinosa one of the rubber
kings of Brazil, heard a band of Bo-
gotta play one of Murrillio's compost
tions, and he declared it to be the
work of the lamented Carlos Gomez,
whose melodies have enshrined him
in the hearts of every Brazilian.
When Espinosa learned that the
romanza was the work Of a Column
bian, he sought out Murrillio; had a
talk, which resulted in the young Col
umbian and Barnett being rushed to
Germany, then France, and finally to
New York in pursuit of musical edu.
cation.
The actor and the South American
musician have been working hard on
the opera, the former writing the lib
retto, which deals with the legends
of the Indians of the Amazon, and
helping the composer work out the
musical themes.
The unhappy heroine is the Water
Spirit of the Amazon. The story
tells how she gave up her life and
hopes of eternal existence to appease
the wicked god of the storms, who
had caused the floods to rise until
the country was practically inundated
and the people starving.
Historians agree that these Indian
legends which are to be found among
all tribes on the Western Hemisphere
agree, in the main with the Biblical

During her engagement with the
Albany Stock Company. from which
Ada Reban graduated, Mrs. Bowers
was playing Lucrezia Borgia. One OF
the big moments of the play was
when her son, Genaro, is poisoned.
Having an antidote in a vial, which
she carried with her, she saves his
life Just Immediately before this
scene, Mrs. Bowers remembered that
she had failed to bring the vial on
with her, ana communicated her want
to the man who was playing Bel
thazer, who made an exit and came
back in time to supply the deficiency.
The actor evidently didn't catch the
full sound of the letter " for when
he went of the stage he went into
