EDITH HELENA WILL
Be HEARD IN MARCH
ON VICTOR RECORD
Aborn Company's Prima
Donna Has Had Repro

Edith Helena the prima donna OF the
Aborn company and a vocalist often
heard I'm Washington, is one OF the
singers whose tones will be heard by
purchasers of Victor records for March.
Miss Helena, who really merits the
somewhat worn title, local favoritc," +"
mere, has reproduced two favorite airs
from "Trovatore'' and Lucia"
Caruso is the foremost artist of these
new records, sale of which is announced
for this, the penultimate day OF the
month. His voice will be heard with
that OF Marcel Journet as we'll as in
solos and also in a trio with Journet
and Frances Aida
With Journet, Caruso sings Faure's
noble "Crucifix," the two artists bring
ing out all the beauties of this most
nlelodious number. With Nine Aida
they are heard again in a Verdi num-
Der.
Among the other grand opera sing
efs to be heard in the new records are
Pasquale Amato. giving the great
scene of Act III in "Rigoletto." while
Emma Eames is represented by a
charming Tosti song.

To Have Complexion
That Men Admire

"a man may admit, with great So
phisticatlon, that powder and rouge
are necessary aids TO beauty" writes
the Countess OF wenick, yet deep in
his heart he dreams of the woman
whose loveliness needs no artificial
touching up. Women who appreciate
this, who give consideration to the mas
culine viewpoint, avoid using anything
that might indicate their beauty Is not
all their own.
such women in increasing number
are acquiring the mercolized wax hablt
By applying the wax at night as they
would cold cream, washing It off in the
morning, they secure. and maintain,
entirely natural compilations. Their
faces exhibit no evidence of having
been 'beautifed.' Nothing is added to
the old complexion--the' latter, instead,
is discarded. Mercolized wax, procur-
able at any drug store-an ounce will
do-absorbs the devitalized outer skin,
gradually. almost imperceptibly. The
fresh. clear. satiny underskin which
appears, bears healthy. youthful
bloom not comparable with the fixed
artificial color

Politicians Plot Against
PoinCare Ministry

PARIS. Feb. 2S.-That there is a group
OF politicians plotting in secret the
downfall OF the Poincare ministry, the
grand ministry" as it IL called, is gen
orally believed here. Various predic-
tions as to the length OF time the cab
inet can stand are being made. The
theory is that there is a faction in
the chamber with ministerial ambi-
tions. and the stronger the cabinet the
stronger these men are against II.
NJ. Gabriel HanotauX, in an article
contributed TO the Figaro, declares:
'"rhose Who are already working TO
overthrow the Poincare cabinet do not
realize what they are doing. Their
success would be a real disaster for
France and cause dismay abroad"

Julia Murdock Says Lackaye Play
Suffers in Comparison With Becky"

Drama, like literature, art, and his
tory, runs in in circles.
This statement may seem trife
dogmatic, but ons has only to recall
the past theaterical seasons TO the
number of about ten-and that is a good
many to admit numbering-to bring to
mind the successive vogues of the ro-
mantle, colonial, civil war, society,
slum, and problem plays to see that the
dogma is approximately correct. OF
course, there have been exceptions to
the rule, but, for the most part, his
tory has repeated itself in tho cycles
and circles of dramas presented season
after season.
Now the pendulum. having swung as
far in one direction as II can, has
started its backward course and has
reached again the era Of double per-
sonality" plays-started by the never
to. .be-forgotten DIR. Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde"
Already this season has been VII

initial presentation Of the Belasco play

Curious Conduct of Judge LeGarde."

The story of the present piece, the
work of Victor Mapes and Louis For

resemblance that one is tempted to
wonder II Locke did not get his basic
idea for Becky from the same Ger

while not brother and sister by long
way, still blood relations.
Legarde and Becky
Plays In Comparison.
Comparison between Legarde and
Becky, however, must inevitably lead
to but one conclusion, the immense su-
periority of the Belasco production
While the latter was finished and pol
ished even during its first week here
the Mapes-Forest piece is crude. to
say the least. and fits appeal is far less
than that made by Locke's character
ization Of the wayward, forward, semi
barbaric but still lovable Becky.
Judge Legarde Is Partisan jurist
about to deliver a lecture on crimi-
nology, in the preparation Of which he
has worked himself into a state of ex-
this condition that his other personality

ders. The second act takes place at
the Lame Duck Inn" a name singu-
larly appropriate at this time and in
this city. Here is seen a supposedly
true picture OF Partisan life in the un-
derworld. Criminals. ruffians, besotted
women, and all the types Of Paris
life-by-night lend local color to the
scene.
Legarde, known TO his band as the
Prince" arrives at the Lame Duck and
receives there a picture of Amelia, a

wakes up from the influence of his
other-self In his own home, while his
band are plundering the house. The
play ends with the discovery of the
secret of the two personalities through
Amelias picture, which Legarde discov-
ers in his pocket upon awakening"
Play Is Crude
In Present Form.
While decidedly crude in its present
form, THE Curious Conduct of Judge
Legarde" has number of strong points
which might well be developed and
made the basis for a pleasing melo-
drama, for as long as the present story
is adhered to It will be nothing but
melodrama, and one of most violent ac-
ton, at that. The raid by the police on
the Lame Duck Inn, as ] saw II at the
Columbia last night, did not fail to send
thrill, and a big one, out over the
footlights, but the interest is not well
spread over the entire evening, IT Is too
much punched, being particularly tenu-
Gus in the opening act.
AS might be expected in q play writ
ten for male star, Wilton Lackaye
has by far the greatest amount OF
work to do during the performance,
His lines in the opening act were con-
siderably marred, i thought, by an
overdeslre TO simulate nervousness, and
his facial expression became contor-

mainder OF the piece was excellent,
and clearly cut. His smashing of the
lamp, previous to his escape in the raid
scene, brought to mind forcibly the es-
Holmes" Both of them came as the
climax to the big" scene, and both
we're productive of much applause;
There was little doubt after the raid
, even the kind which is usually spelled
"mellowdrammer,' still has It's hold
upon the public, for the applause was
long and loud.

not fulfilling ones expectations OF

than she does in this play. Miss Mar

1t will be a decided success In its
present form, however, II is too mclO-

American Boy Worlds Champion
Marksman.

In the parade of Olympic heroes
which thrilled Broadway a few weeks
ago there rode a lad of twenty who
Is champion pistol shot of the world
and who was the only member of the
American Olympic team to bring
home three gold medals. A little
over two years ago Alfred P. Lane
began Shooting at mark" in the
cellar of his fathers house in New
York city. When the boy marksman
started to use a SO revolver instead
OF 20 rifle he was graduated from
his underground gallery to nearby
revolver club. Stimulated by the
rivalry of fellow shooters, young
Lane made such rapid strides in his
industrious practice that he was soon
in the tboy wonder" class. While
still in the knee pants of his teens
Lane held three worlds pistol and
revolver records and was champion
indoor pistol shot of the United
States Revolver Association. His
beating of the worlds crack shots in
the pistol and revolver competitions
at Stockholm is now bright page in
the history Of American marksman-
ship. To get thus far in less than
two and one half years is rather re-
markab le-eyen for an American boy
Is reason enough for the In
terest evidenced by Broadway in this
peaeeable gun man. as he rode in
q laW-abiding taxicab down the Great
White Way.

Don't Eat Things You Don't Like.

Don't Eat Things You Don't Like.
In the October Woman's Home Com.
panion, Harvey w. Wiley, former
chief of the United States Bureau Of
Chemistry, writes valuable article
entitled Intelligent Eating an ar
ticle full of practical suggestions. Fol-
lowing is an extract:
Some people cannot eat potatoes,
others are made i'll by strawberries,
and others by this, that, or the other
food product which is perfectly whole
some and palatable to most people.
The way to cure an idiosyncrasy is
not to hold it in contempt; it should
be respected. It is a human attri-
butte of which every one Of us may
be in possession, in some form or
attempt TO force either a child or
an adult to eat a wholesome food
product il he had an antipathy to it.
should like to call attention, at
this point, to the wisdom Of the
simple life. First, let us have pure,
wholesome, and nutritious foods
similar to those have already sug-
gesLed, not deteriorated in any way,
and free from any manipulation in
the way of added injurious substances
Of any description; and, secondly, a
diet OF simple food, avoiding complex
dishes md multiplicity Of courses,
but securing a sufficient variety to
minister to the legitimate wants Of
the palate. The frying pan too often
takes the place of the spit, and
while some fried dishes may be toler-
ated, it IS not a. method of cooking
that may be generally recommended.
Il this simplicity We're combined with
proper attention to the quantity Of
diet, frequency of eating, and proper
mastication, each Individual would be
kept in a condition best suited to
enable him to perform the special
functions in life to which he devotes
himself. Too great hurry in eating
not only makes digestion more diff
ficult, but also robs the meal of its
social opportunities Of conversation.
The masticating of the food should
receive special attention, especially
all starchy substances. =

Philadelphia, dated Sept. %, re counts
the following marvellous incident:
1.-THE pulmotor, that wonderful ma
chine that causes artificial respira-
ton by pumping oxygen in, and
drawing it out Of the lungs, Sunday
night saved a young mans life. The
physicians who worked the pulI actor
are inclined to the opinion that the
spark of life may have left the body,
but it was brought back by the arti-
fetal respiration.
Ward Worthington, aged twenty
three, Of this city, was overcome by
nitric acid fumes from a broken car
boy. He lansed into Inconsistencies
upon reaching the frankfort Hospi-
tai.
AS a last resort DR.. JOS, eph A.
Thompson suggested that a pl11lmotor
be esnt for. BY the time a taxicab
had returned with the nadine, life
apparently had left the body of
Worthington. An artery in his arm
was cut and ten ounces OF blood,
which had turned black, vas taken
cut. Into the -ineision fifteen ounces
OF salt water was Injected tso pro

was adjusted SO it covered the face
