CAMPAIGN MONEY
Chairman Hitchcock Establishes Rec
ord BY Returning Sum Not Needed

From the Omaha Bee.
Answering questions propounded to him
as a witness before the Senate investiga-
ting committee, Charles P. Taft. the Pres
ident's brother, informed his interrogators
that for the campaign of 1903 he had given
Chairman Frank II. Hitchcock of the re-
publican national committee, $271 of. 40,
of which Mr.. Hitchcock returned $3.50 0o1
which ii had not been necessary to spend.
Mr.. Taft explained his readiness to make
his contribution large enough to meet all
reasonable requirements. in order to save
the President from embarrassing obliga-
lions to large financial interests, and
added:
II gave the money, and / was very
pleasantly surprised when Mr. Hitchcock
returned SO much of IT,"
This unsolicited testimonial to Chair
man Hitchcock deserves to be inscribed
In large letters on the pages of history.
II is possible. but not probable, that there
may have been other similar cases. but
this is the first authentic record of the
return of campaign contribution of sub
stantial amount because not needed The
campaign manager who gives back $50 =
COO must be not only scrupulously con-
scientious, but particularly careful not to
spend more money than the campaign
legitimatey calls for. He Is a man to be
implicitly trusted In any undertaking car

lutely no danger to the audiences, as
every safeguard is thrown around the
public.
A wonderful novelty of an act is said
to be that of the -Four Dancing Bugs,
two pretty, shapely girls who can wear
pretty costumes and dance, and two
clever men, dancers and singers. The
act is a snappy novelty and a feature act
that will please Birmingham theatre
goers.
Another distinct Offering of the Majestic
will be the Clerise- Kellar-Grogan Trio,
which includes a harpist, truly Won
derful whistler and blind pianist, three
musical effects which are rarely heard
on the stage and still searcer when COM
bined into one act. The musical end of
the act is said to be unusually good
Dorothy Curtis was an English girl be-
fore her talents We're discovered, and as
soon as the American agents found out
about her ABILITY to sing and initiate they
brought her Across the pond to amuse.
and she is still doing 1t cleverly. She is
another Majestic act this week.
Dyer and Dyer have knack of falling
and tumt ing about the stage which is
artistic sensational and some of it ex-
tremely funny. They get tangled up in
their clothing. they fall down and the
audience laughs. 1t is good comedy
acrobatic turn.
The Offering for the week is complete
with the first run motion pictures and the
music. Theme are matinees every after
noon at 80 and two performances every
night at 1880 and . o'clock.

PLAYWRIGHT WAKES
IN IMPORTANCE NOW
An Established Author Is of Far
Greater Interest in the Scheme
Than Manager

An author who writes a single notable
success is a man with a fortune easily
within his grasp, providing his success
falls into the managerial keeping of a
man of resources. good Judgment and a
knowledge of the theatrical business as
1t ought to be.
Now, Louisiana Lou is that kind of a
success, although by no means the first
success of any of the three men con-
cerned in writing it-Addison Burkhardt,
Frederick Donaghey and Ben M Jerome.
That it is not expected to be their last
success. either, Is proved by the fact
that they are under contract to deliver
next seasons musical comedy for the La
Sale Opera house, Cicago.
The contract between these three writ
ers of musical comedy and Harry Askin.
the manager of the baSalle, gives to the
authors absolute power ito decide on the
cast. No player can be engaged for any
part unless he meet with the joint APP
prevail of Messrs. Burkhardt, Donaghey
and Jerome. The name of every player
must be submitted to them before that
player can be engaged, and they have the
right, by contract, to cause the dismissal
of any player after rehearsals have
proved him to be unsuitable.

The PLAYHOUSE World

Everywhere she goes Miss Poynter
takes along with her huge trunk This
trunk is marked Hotel" and it is no
fairY,s burden as many an expressman
and hotel porter can testify from per-
sonal knowledge. As soon as she reaches
her hotel this trunk is opened. When the
lid is opened, instead of disclosing the
usual contents of a woman's trunk, 1t is
found to contain books of historic and
modern writer's encyclopedias, paper, PEN
ellis and a tiny aluminium typewriter In
its leather case It is a. veritable library
of the travelling sort. But there isn't a
single Paris gown in this trunk Of hers,
nor even a New York creation.
1t is not that Miss POINTER does not
admire pretty gowns. for being a wom-
an, and a delightfully."- feminine woman
at that. she is like all of her sex when it
comes to beautiful clothes. But as all
of the plays in which she has appeared
In recently are of the rural type, she has
little chance TO wear modish costumes OF
the stage, and In private life. Miss Poyn-
ter is too busy with the contents of that
trunk TO bother much about clothes.
Already Miss Poynter has dramatized
a number of the plays in which she has
been seen in past seasons as a star.

The operas of their repertoire are all

all important grand opera organizations,
maintains double set OF artists, as real

traction. Duval became so rich with
his Ill gotten gains that he was enabled
to retire from the profession and re-
turn to France. But a quiet life, free
from the excitement Of his old career,
did not agree with his adventurous
spirit. He returned again to England
and resumed his avocation. At length
he was captured at the Hole in the
Wall, In Chandos street. While In
prison awaiting his doom many ladies'
of position visited him and endeavored
to obtain his release, but justice was
memorable, and he was hanged at Ty-
burn in January, 1870, His epitaph in
St. Paul's church, Covent Garden,
speaks of him as "Old Tyburn's glory,
England's illustrious thief" and tells

art,
Look to thy purse; il female, to thy heart.
