WILL BE ORNATE PLACE

| The accompanying perspective OF
a front elevation Of Kimmel's theat-
err gives but a faint idea of the in
terror, furnishings and elaboratenes
in equipment Of the structure wheE
| finished. No doubt it will rank far
ahead of any similar building with
in radius OF $50 miles of Cairo
Mr.. Kimmel in spite Of adverse
comments has gone on steadily with
his proposed plans, adding to them
as he absorbed new ideas relating to
| the construction Of an absolutely
perfect theater, complete in every
| little detail.
The perspective shows facade OF

covered with vari-colqred rubber
tile laid on a foundation of concrete
and cement. The side walls will be
covered with Italian marble to the
height of nine feet. The space above
this, as well as the ceiling, will be
elaborately done in oil paintings,
representing neurological scenes, by
a well known cathedral artist. This
auditorium is IS feet wide and II

height giving room for mezzanine
balcony There will be pitch OF
|6R feet to the floor OF the auditor,
ium.
The balcony can be easily reached

MY EARLY EXPERIENCES ON
THE STAGE
BY Pauline Lord,
Of THE Talker" Company

Pauline Lord. who plays Ruth
Lenox In 1.-THE Talker," was born In
Visalia, Cal. She made her debut on
the stage at the Alcazar Theater,
San Francisco, in Are You A Ma
son"--playing the maid Her next
engagement was obtained through
Mr. n. d. Price. who witnessed an
amateur performance. IN which she
played the leading role. Her next
engagement was with Nat Goodwin,
in 1.-THE American Citizen The
following year she was again seen
with Mr.. Goodwin, in George Broad
bursts "The Fastener" Miss Lord
playing Dora Johnson, the leading
female role. She then obtained a
stock" engagement in Milwaukee,
opening in "Quo Vadis. playing the
lead" After a season there she
went to Springfield, Mass. with the
Hunter-Bradford Company, playing
the ingenue leads.
Miss Lords theatrical experience
began at the age OF fourteen, when
she ran away from home, and joined
repertoire company. While play
ing the part of an old Irish woman
in Hoyt's "A Rag Baby In Vallejo,
Cal, she experienced the first taste
of wild excitement in her career 1t
was the first time the company pre-
scented "A Ray Baby" and the mem
bers were not familiar with the lines
nor situations. and gave very bad
performance. The audience, about
one hundred in number, sat through
the entire PERFORMANCE, and the mo-
ment the curtain dropped. rushed tc
the nearest grocery stores and
bought up the available supply of de-
cayed vegetables and ancient eggs
Then they repaired to the stage door
of the theater. and waited the actors
AS fast as they appeared, each was
compelled to run the gauntlet o.
showers OF eggs and vegetables, anC
before they escaped, they were sorr,
sights. The stage hands took pit,
on Miss Lord, by reason Of her ex
IRENE youth, and kept her hidden il
the theater. and notified her brother
who was a naval officer at the Val
lejo station. He. with a squad o
marines, rushed to the scene, ant
dispensing the rioters, forced thei
way into the theater. and rescued
Miss Lord. The next day she was es
corted back to the bosom of he
family, but for this prodigal daught
er, no "fatted calf" was killed, and II
lieu thereof, her mother used tn
family carpet-slipper The following
day she was packed UP and sent t.
convent, where she stayed for {
year.

ture and search ships of neutral ma
tions suspected of carrying contra
band of war. This has been the
course followed rot only in the case
of French steamers, but also with
British, German and Austrian YES
sells. 1t is pointed out that other ma
tions have acted similarly in recent
years and that Italy is ready to sub
nit the cases to The Hague tribunal
and pay indemnity if an error has
been committed.
Italy, however, does not admit any
Limitation of that right. 1t is its in
tention TO protect the army before
the enemy. So far as the Italian
authorities will speak, the examina-
ton of the Turks in question seems
to have proved that both doctors
and nurses were included in the
group of prisoners, but it is suspect
ed that the object OF their presence
was TO distract attention from 9th
ers, who are believed to be Turkish
officers, as they were in possession
of arms, maps and a check for a
large sum of money.
Italian officials call attention to the
fact that another alleged Red Ores
cent expedition was once halted in
Egypt by General Kitchener and
sent back, as it was composed OF
! belligerents.
Italy admits that France is eXer-
cising its duty admirably as a neu.
trail power, but urges that France
! should not resent the wish on the
part of Italy. even if a mistake is
made, to the actions that it cOnsid
ers TO be what is it's right, neither
J France nor any Dthe" nation can
guarantee that, in applying all pos
sible measures to observe strict neu
! trality, it may not be deceived.
! The results of the conference
have been reported to the French
government and so far the two coun
tries have been animated by such
cOnciliatory spirit that il is expected
a satisfactory solution will soon b.
found.
