I royal road to fame, that not much
more is necessary than to secure an
entrance to the theater by way of the
stage door, speak few lines in public,
look pretty and the matter is accom-
plished. Those. however, who have
got beyond the stage door can attest
to the fallacy of such beliefs. There
is no harder taskmaster than the
Drama and though for a few the re-
ward is perhaps great enough, for the
majority the emolumentS are pitifully
small in comparison to the amount OF
energy and self-denial that are de-
manded.
The story of Margaret Anglin, who
appears at the Grand Wednesday,
March 20, in Green Stockings has
doubtless inspired the ambition of
many a tyro but the experience of this
actress is a splendid example OF what
must be undergone. From the first
time she stepped on the stage Miss
Anglin has been a worker. steady,
conscientious, sacrificing. 1t was not
enough for her to earn approval from
her managers and to win applause
from her audiences. Slowly and with
infinite pains she sought means by
study and practice to improve her art
and develop her resources. Although,
through her family connection, she
might have occupied high social
position in Canada. she chose to aban-
don that way of enjoying life to carve
for herself an independent career.
In such manner she qualified to be-
come SIdT. Anu II Was uOI W1lAOOI
much trouble and effort that she did
finally achieve the distinction of head
ing her own company. Having attain
ed it, tired and with many of her early
illusions somewhat shattered and
spoiled, she, herself, acknowledges
that it seemed that she had every
thing to do over again. 1t became nee
essary then to justify her claims by
not only securing her audiences but
to keep them as well. Work. work,
work, she found was still to be her
portion. and harder work than ever.
She found that she had to inspire con-
fidence in authors willing to entrust
their plays to her, to learn to exercise
the difficult art of selection of plays
and players and above all she had to
put into practice the ability which. if
it existed, had remained dormant in
her for organization and administra-
ton And all of this demanded and
commanded work, hard work, SO that
she had no time for play.
To follow Margaret Anglin in her
work from the moment of selection to
the time of production of a play might
be an excellent object lesson to the
novice whose idea is that to be a star
is so easy. With wonderful patience

then started back. 1t got four miles
from the town before it was stuck in a
snowdrift and could not bulge. The
train stood there two weeks. When the
line was opened it was found that the
engine had no water. The nearest water
tank was four miles away. The Digh-
ton men, just to be good fellows, rugged
up a water tank on a handcar and
pushed it back and forth from Dighton
to the engine, carried water in buckets
to the tender, and poured it into the
tank until enough was there to get the
engine steamed up. The station agent
sent in the names of fifteen men who
helped, and they were surprised when
checks for two dollars each were re-
ceived

X. U. MEN FIGHT SLANG.
Professor Doesn't Approve of "Queen''
in Ice Cream "Joint."

Lawrence, Kan, March ia cam
paign to discourage the use of slang
has been started by the department of
English at the University of Kansas.
The professors believe the popular
slang phrases are getting such a hold,
not only on the students, but on the
people throughout the country, that
they can not express themselves with
out using ''distasteful expressions
my attitude against slang is a hos
tile one Prof. c. G. Dunlop, head of
the English department, said today.
''It may sound smart to call an ice
cream parlor joint and your girl a
queen, but George AIDE does a great
harm to the English language by writ
ing take your queen to an ice cream

Slang is detestable,'' said Professor
R. D. O'Leary. formerly of England.

the expression of every emotion. There

and natural skill she selects her COM
pany rapidly, yet with profoundest eau
ton 1t is said of her selections of
actors that SO sure is her judgment
that she seldom has to make a change
in her cast, once the preliminaries are
adjusted. At rehearsal she is para
mount. Actors with many years more
experience than she has had are content
and happy to follow her direction for
they recognize in her that rarest Of all
qualities-an unerring talent for teach
ing how a part. should be played,
And the same with the scenery and
stage furnishings. All the work of color
schemes and combina lions falls upon
Miss Anglin's willing shoulders and the
fact that her productions are renowned
from New York to San Francisco is suf-
.ficient evidence of the excellence of her
work.
So this clever actress may be readily
said to be hard working woman.

Railroad Official Objected to Rough
Handling of Baggage.
Henry Clews, at a dinner in New
port, said of American travelling:
"It is delightful to travel in Amer
lea. but 1 think that American poFters
handle our baggage little too
roughly.
"Once, at a certain station, I was
amazed and pleased to hear a uni
formed official shout to burly porter:
Hi, what are you knockin' those
trunks about like that for?''

trunks above his head and hurting
them down on to the floor furiously,
but now he stopped stock still in

Novelty.
The Novelty theater, to open the
new bill Monday matinee. March Is,
will have an old time vaudeville show
the headline act of which will be Van
Camp and his trained pig. This act,
and in fact all the other acts on this
bill, have never played in Topeka be-
fore. Van Camp and his trained pig
Will make every visitor at the Novelty
laugh. Van Camp is a clever expon-
ent of black art and his feats in pres
tidigitation alone would make him a
welcome addition to any bill, but he is
also pig trainer and his educated pig
can show it's accomplishments on the
best programs. Van Camps porcine
actor is Billy, a spankerfel about IA
inches long and two hands high. Billy
is cleaner than many children, even if
he is q pig, for besides acting Billy
does nothing but take a bath and
drink milk. He is a fiend for nursing
bottles but earns all the sweet milk
around in which ever direction he is
ordered, shakes hands, leaps hurdles,
kneels, sits on his launches, dances a
jig, and does other things as com
manded. After Billy gets to be four
months old he will retire from the
stage and his understudy takes his
place, for a hog is no longer cute.
The Bootb1ack Quartette which was
booked here some three weeks ago and
the time was changed by the Western
Vaudeville Managers association at
Chicago, will be here sure next Mon
day.. This act has made a big hit
