ALONG THE GREAT
WHITE WAY.
**"*********%~**.
(By William S. Brewer.

Advance sales of seats show that
the theatres will not suffer greatly
this year from the effects of the len
ten season. Several new plays are
scheduled for production before the
close of the season. while the estab-
lished successes will run well into hot
weather time. The most important
change for the coming week will be at
the Hudson where Nine. Simone will
give the first American production of
the romance by Edmond Rostand
known in the French criminal as LA
Princesse Lointaine," but which will
be called "The Lady of Dreams" for
the Hudson theatre presentation. This
new play will be put on next Monday
night, following "The Return from
Jerusalem" in which Nine. Simone
has acted so successfully. Following
"The Lady of Dreams" will come the
final play in the repertory Of the
French actress, a revival Of "Frou
Frou."

BAN ON DRINK CAUSES INSANE
PATIENTS FEWER IN KANSAS.

Topeka, Kas., Feb. 23.-That the
falling off each year in the number of
patients in the Kansas State institu-
tions for the insane is due to the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law is
the belief of the superintendent of the
State hospitals for the insane and the
members of the board of control.
In 1904 when the prohibitory law
was not so rigidly enforced as in 1910,
the number of patients committed to
the institutions was 62.4 for each
thousand population. In 1910 it was
52.4.

not been exaggerated.

AT THE PRINCESS.

 The Princess Theater for today has one of the greatest historical two. reel pictures ever produced. made by the company that makes the best west. ern pictures to be had---The American company.
 "ueronimos Last stand is the title of the feature offering. It is a film story of the conquest of the last war. ike tribe of Indians in this country, those wolves of the desert, the Apaches.
 Old Geronimo, now a prisoner at Ft. Sill, blind and helpless, in his prime was one of the most bloodthirsty, but withal one of the bravest chiefs that ever wore war paint. For months and years this 'old gray wolf of the castus country" held at bay and defied the entire United States army. with half starved, footsore and hunted band of his braves, and it was only after his followers were no longer able to scam3er from one cactus plain to an other and no longer able to hold their rifles at aim, that the dogged old ehieftain finally gave up.
 It is one of the most thrilling, and one of the most pathetic ston.es of American history.
 The American company, with it's small army of rough riders, it's h. dians and all the native environment of old Geronimo in his palmy days, has given to this picture reality, a his torical accuracy that would be impos- sible under any other circumstances. In this picture the Princess guaran- tees it's patrons the biggest and best program i'll the city today.
