William Collier, STAR. Close.
ly Crowded by His Son
for Honors.

II seems as though dramatists and
playwrights had exhausted pretty near
ly every idea in the world for material
for their tragedies or comedies. No
event In life. from the cradle to the
grave has been overlooked In the search
for something upon which a plot could
be hung. But II has remained for Will
liam Collier, with the able assistance Of
W. II. Post. to find something new and
Jus, little bit different. They have
made into u play the last sad days
OF mans life. ..
Only the man didn't die after all.
There's where tho Joke comes In. The
man fooled the audience last night In
the Belasco Theater, where the new
play. "Never Say DE-" was presented
In what was practically Its premiere,
and he fooled the two doctors who said
he had things the matter with his liver
that wouldn't allow him to live more
than a month longer at the most. and
he fooled the girl. who. 1t developed
later. was perfectly willing to be fool
cd.
Even His Name
Was q Drawback.
Imagine a name like Dionysius Wood
bury being tackled upon a man who
couldn't live a month. Place several
million dollars in his hands and send
him to England, where his best friend,
an artist. is trailing around after a
pretty English girl. who is an heiress,
and thinks she Is In love with him. In
troduce into the situation a lack of
funds On the part OF the artist person
that prevents him from marrying the
English girl. until he has painted some
pot boilers and sold them: also intro
duce lowering in the misty background
a willing suitor for the girls hand, who

this complicated state Of affairs comes
Dionysius Woodbury.. He begs hit
friends to say Dee" when they pro.
nounce his Christian name. and not tG

He declares that he hasn't tho slightest
interest In his millions in view OF the
fact that he expects to leave them Sc
soon. and offers to send Friend Artls
10 Italy to complete his education, sc
that he may marry the girl.
Then comes the news that the prettj
English girl. Violet Stevenson, and hel
mother. the Hon. Mrs. Stevenson, hav,
lost their fortune through the failure o

must marry the rich suitor who hover

Seen in the Shops

One of the first matters to be consid-
cred by the parent who wishes the life
Of the boy at school to be as pleasant
as possible. Is the question of clothing
and more than one boy whose parents
could amply afford better things Is let
roam about In shabby suits, with cast
of neckties of more than questionable
appearance. No child who Is well or
comfortably dressed has much expert
ence with awkwardness when In the
company OF his own kind. The mems
store on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Ninth and Tenth'streets, which has the
agency for clothing sold by standard
Arm, Is full Of suggestions for clothing
for the young man at school. Now.
when clean, fresh .neckties, not cheap
ones. but ones made to sell for so cents,
can be had for 80 cents, there is no
reason why a boy should not have. new
ones whenever 1t Ii necessary.

had found a strange land. but he
thought they were coming to throw him
into the water, SO he sprang overheard
and swan to land. And all the sailors,

When the hoy reached shore he
looked back and saw the sailors fol-

the sailors coming on far behind. Sud
denly he came upon big stone cave,

a pile of gold and Jewels of every kind.
The ogre was not very tall, but he was
very wicked robber. and when he
saw the drummer boy coming toward
his cave he ran out to attack the boy.
But the lad was too quick for him
and sprang aside into the bushes. Just
as the wicked ogre was about to fol-
lew. up came the crowd of sailors, and
seeing the drummer In danger. they
all fell on the ogre and soon threw
him into the sea.
Then the drummer boy led the way
into the ogre's cave. Here they found
the bags OF gold and chests of Jewels
piled high to the top. And 80 much
was there OF the treasure, that Il took
them Ave days to load the fifty ships
with all they found.
The sailors thought that this was
