GERMANY SURRENOERS CHINA
Secret Arrangement to Annex 1t tc
California Disclosed
JAPAN STIRRED
Minister -Wing-Tu Won Over
by Imperial Valley Envoy,
Barbara Ware

German secret State circles
will undoubtedly be reused to
know that full publicity has
been made of the diplomatic
fact that, acting merely in a
clerical capacity for the au-
thor, we had the privilege last
spring of forwarding to the pub
fishers the final manuscript of
The Winning of Barbara
Worth" Having an abiding
faith in the merit and influence
Of the book tO-be, and rejecting
that pictorial presentation was
potent factor with the public
today, the thought arose that
truthful and artistic delineation
of actual development of Bar
bara's desert would be of value
beth at home and for sending
abroad.
We therefore placed an order
in Germany for the manufacture,
for us exclusively, of line OF
fine China, both thin and medi->
um, to be decorated in highest
art from subjects furnished by
us, photographs of actual nat
ural scenes OF this desert
The commission was entrust-
ed to German artisan whose
name is little known in this
country But where it is famil-
lar, it is one of those names pro-
nounced, by not sounding any OF
the latters in it. Yonrc:e. Cruel
as is the name, it nevertheless
is recognized in Germany as
that of an exceptionally accurate
and delicate delineatOr. The
beauty of his blendingS and his
rich and softened colorings are
exceedingly rare, yet never false
or discordant.
Our hopes were high, our eX-
DectatiOns confident. In the fin
ished product both have been
more than fulfilled; and we take
pardOnable pride in present
ing to this valley worthy ware,
originated here and christened
for its typical heroine, Barbara.
The subjects are hand-painted
scenes, painted by the hand OF
the Almighty.
Henceforth Barbara ware will
be souvenir Of this valley, rich,
glowing and growing, and its
w rthy exponent wherever seen.
It's tuff 10 be pore; but it's
porer not to be at all. And so,
while we have all the Barbara
ware that exists, we have not
very large stock. 1t will be ad-
visable for you, therefore, to
make your selections from it
early, remembering that every
piece you obtain is of the orig
inal creation of beautiful truth
ful and artistic BARBARA ware.

Just in time to see Dick 60 tearin down the
street. Mumsy was hangin' on for dear life.
She'd lost her hat Her hair was streamin',
her skirts was bowin', an Dick Croker was
goin' for all he was worth, when suddenly
little sawed-off runt of man saw what was
up an as quick as chain lightnin' he runs
towards the boltin' donkey grabs the reins,
and ties his feet in knot around Dicks
neck. Deck stopped in his own length, he
was SO surprised.
Poor Mumsy was very near all in an
scared almost to death. An when she saw
that the man who had saved her was Bunny,
she grabbed him round the neck an kissed
him like a long lost son.
"There!" says she. "Ill not object to
YOU and Aileen any more. Now I'm salts
fed, and if Ailecn is willing you may get
married right away"
So she an Bunny starts back to the Cat
aract an meets mean sees by Bunny's
smile that my ruse has worked as sure as
Black Hand bomb. Bunny invites me to
witness the splicin' up at the Cataract, an
they were made one forever an ever.
Mumsy came over to them kids hand
somely. She gave 'em five thousand dol
lars for honeymoon expenses, an ordered
an automobile for them, an besides gave
Aileen the dough for a mansion in Cairo.
When all this was over they started on their
honeymoon.
where are you goin'?" says I.
Back to the moonbeams of Karnak,"
says they.
Evening star., 1911-01-15

tomorrow before eleven O'Clock" l tells
him.
He hung on my neck for JOY when l ut
tered them words. What's your dope?'
he asks me.
Are you wilin' to stop a runaway don
key if it'll save the life of your future mother
in law?" / asks him.
"Not on your life!' says he. But if
savin' the life of my future mother in law
by stopping runaway donkey will give me
Aileen," says he, I'm your mani says he.
"All right" l says. ''You be walkin
along Main-st. about five minutes after eight
tomorrow mornin' an stop the first run
away donkey you see. I'll do the rest
You see, Mumsy and Aileen were booked
for donkey ride at eight o'clock, an
Mumsy was stuck on donkey called Dick
Croker an didn't ride any other at Assuan.
l handed the donkey boy who took care of
Dick ten-spot to let me give the brute
drug that would make him wild. l fixed it
to give him the dope just before he left the
stable.
X7ELL, Son. it all worked to the tick of
w the clock. The next mornin' when
Mumsy mounted Dick, he leaped for joy an
set off at flying pace from the Cataract
yard, sendin his boy spinnin' and frighten-
in six years growth out of all concerned.
He was good an gay, an down the hill he
galloped, making the trees look like the
teeth in comb. hurried across lots over
the hill down into the main street of Assuan

By George Jean Nathan


- gained columns of notoriety through
having written musical comedy in twenty
four hours. The feat was accomplished as
the result of wager, the product having
been given the title of 1.-The Koh--Noor."
Within the last year Paul Armstrong in
similar fashion gained considerable press
chronicle by completing the dramatization
of short detective story in four days. Both
of these playwriting records have been re-
garded as unique and unassailable-until
now. For in New York city, there has come
to light dramatist who makes up his plays
while his audiences wait; who, moreover,
extemporaneously presents different play
every week night in the year. and finally in
vests those plays with certain element of
historical accuracy that forbids their being
dismissed with doubling sneer.
This extemporaneous dramatlst is An
tonic Parisi, owner, operator, and dramatlst
in chief of the Sicilian Marionette Theater,
little playhouse on East 11th-st., New York,
which boasts clientele of more regular at
tendants than probably any other theater
in the United States. This clientele is COM
posed nine-tenths of Sicilians, who visit the
theater almost every night to watch the
completion of cycle of drama that takes
exactly year to run its course.
Under the manipulations of Parisi and an
ASSISTANT, dIQ W IIlt WOlOS VI Illc I'll dlIldS
from Parisi's mind and mouth, the marion
ettes night in and night out for year enact
the story OF The Paladins of France" The
cycle starts anew on the first of January of
each year with the death of Charlemagne,
and one dramatic chapter is presented each
night. Parisi has made deep and careful
study of the Carolingian legend and has
read widely in literature of the period in
which his dramas arr laid.
Just previous to the beginning OF per-
formance by his puppet actors, the drama
tist reads that part of the long story that is
due for presentation the evening in question.
When the curtain rises, he begins his play
extemporaneously, and thus, with an Unborn
knowledge of climax building, he drives his
drama in telling manner to its conclusion
He never hesitates. He never mumbles his
words or seeks phrase vainly. Under his
improvising hand, his puppets work their
way to the denouement and thence to the
curtain. which carries a sequel with it.
Although the theater has been in existence
for several years, and although the Paladin
cycle has been presented twice, it is a matter
for record that in each presentation the inn
provsed dramas differed radically in ex-
ploitation; although, to be sure, the final
evolution was the same.
The best Judgment of the comparative
merit of Parisi's extemporaneous plays may
audiences greet them. These people cheer
and laugh and cry during the dramas just as
if they were being affected, like their Ameri-
can brothers and sisters, by living actors and
finished plays on Broadway. 1t is no un-
common sight to see women break down and
weep during one of Parisi's improvised pres
