LOUIS MANN AS A
 DISCOvERER Of STARS
THE STAR OF "ELEvATlNG A HUS- BAND" RECALLS FAMOUS PLAY FRS WHO WERE ONCE HUMBLE MEMBERS OF HIS COMPANIES.

Perhaps no producer nor actor de serves the distinction of having dis covered in the embryo more future stars and theatrical celebrities than Louis Mann. who is to be seen at the Auditorium theatre on Tuesday eyen- ing, March 25th, for one performance only. The list of Mir. Mann's finds" is indeed an imposing one:
 In the chorus of An English Daisy many seasons ago Mr. Mann found a blonde wisp of girl whom he chose for small part in his production of The Second Fiddle" Since playing that minor role the young woman has advanced steadily and during the pres. ent season is playing the stellar role in Primrose" for she is none other than earning Elsie Ferguson. Irene Fenwick, girl who has made de- lightful impression in Douglass Fair banks play. Hawthorne U. s Az had CT first line to speak in this same pro duction of "The Second Fiddle" MT.

It is the unsurpassed mil. itary spectacle in three parts. by the "l01' Bison company. "The Battle of Bull Run
 Royal patrons will easily recall "Sheridan's Ride, that other great pic ture by the same company, and when the Royal assures it's patrons that "The Battle of Bull Run" is still great CT than "Sheridan's Ride" they will realize that a real motion picture sensation is to be shown on Monday
 In creating this wonderful picture the Bison company has used all it's wonderful war paraphernalia. all it's greatest was picture stars. all it's mil- itary trained horses, it's artillery, its battalions of soldiers, it's cavalry and it has produced the greatest master piece of motion picture photography.
 You cannot afford to miss this great picture. Remember, Monday.

It's old scouts and trappers have actually lived the lives which they re- produce in the arena; the stage-coach drivers are among the last of that recklessly-daring race of men who crossed the plains and mountains, with the reins in one hand and six-sho0ter in the other; the cowboys are the real chap-wearing, short-vamp, high-heeled ropers of the cattle ranges; the cow girls are to the manner born; the Mexicans have been recruited from the great Sapnish ranches in Central Mexico or from the bull-rings of the oldest of rebellion-swept Old Mexico; and even the troupe of Cossacks, un- der Prince Lucca, who contract the riding of the Russian Steppes with that of the American cattle ranch, are declared to be among the most clever ly-daring of their race.

THE LYRIC rHEATER.

The big novelty you have been looking for has arrived, or rat1er will be on deck at the Lyric theater Monday afternoon. The management has booked the La Noles. a feature comedy bar and novelty bounding bed act, with more laughs in the short time they are on than are found in a musical comedy show of two hours duration. This is a Eu- ro1ean feature and is making it's first appearance in the west, after an interrupted seasons success i1 the big vaudeville houses of the East.
 The team, man and woman, are said to be the most excrusicatingly funny people on the vaudeville stage today and will repeat their success in other theaters.
 On the same bill will be "The Fer ris Wheel Girls, five in number, of handsome face, perfect forms and doing a series of poses and imper- sonations of statuary and paintings. This is a little tot with them who IS an artlbst in his line, and the en- tire feature is an artistic treat from beginning to end.

Mabel Frenyear, now a distinguish ed member of William H. Cranes company. was a member of Mir. Mann's chorus in The Telephone Girl" and later was promoted to a leading role in "The Girl in the Barracks" La Belle Titcomb, now a vaudeville head liner of prominence in this country and and in Europe. Mir. Mann helped to climb from "The Telephone Girl" chorus. It was in this same chorus also that the actor discovered Emma Janvier, now perhaps, with te excep- ton. of Zelda Sears, the best known American player of curious and eccen- tric character women. Although Miss Janvier started with an extremely small role in Mir Mann's support, she was a valuable understudy and was eventually entrusted with a more i'm portant part in All On Account of Eliza" Amy Lesser, now winning some little fame for herself as the funny maid in "The Quaker Girl" played a childs role in All On Ac- count of Eliza" and was promoted by Mir. Mann, who was certain of her fu- ture. Martin Brown, now in The Merry Countess, Mir. Mann discover ed as a humble member of his Julie Bon Bon" chorus. The latest discov- cry of the descending actors is his present leading woman, Emily Ann WeIlman. who MT.

AT THE PRINCESS.

Harry Beresford, the well-known actor and playwright, win be at the Princess the fore part of the week with his excellent company, in yau- deyille's greatest playlet Tn Old New York" The stage setting ana the character of the piece, as well as the character of the company make mp what is strict innovation in vaudeville, in fact real master. piece in every detail. Mir Beresford ought to need no introduction to the people of Hot Springs or any other city.
 In old New York, is the sweet story of a life time told in the space of time allotted for vaudeville 1roduc- tions, so it can readily be seen that there is not a dull moment in 1t.
 Whitfield and Ireland in the yau- devile skit, The Belle of Bingville' is one of the cleverest country hits that ever visited the Princess. Marie Ireland, as the Belle of Bingyille" is one of the most unique comedians on the stage today. The act is big scream, just fun and nothing else,
 The Great Delno Troupe, acrobats, will prove one of the big hits of this excellent bill. Hazardous aero batic stunts and comedy intermnsled in their best form go to make up an act that is full of character. Tae act is of the type that never fails to please and it is sure to catch on here.
 Excela and Franks, sister team, one Of the prettiest and cleverest in the business, is an offering that will create a sensation. They are known as the physical culture girls and they are entitled to tine name as every one will coneede when they see the faces and forms of these two girls They are handsome and talented and will surely please.
 Billy Woodall, the prince of min- streis. is the fifth act on tlis big vaudeville offering. Woodall Is in a class by himself. in fact he is one pr the very few who successfully pull off a single blackface act. He does it, however, and he leaves noth- Ing to be desired when he has fin ished.

Real progress, particularly Ia dis
ltingutshfng between the various
types Of exceptional children. IS re-
ported by Or. Groszmann. He con-
siders the great lesson OF the year
to be the need for intelligent, united
effort on the part of educators, med
icaI men. social workers, charity or
foundations, welfare societies. 1u-
yenile courts and other agencies that
have been in the endeavor to remedy
early neglect Of exceptional condi-
tons. HIS point Is that each OF
these exceptional agencies is doing
conlmendable work. but that they
must now Join forces.
DR.. Groszmann asks compulsory
education for all children, texcep-
tionaP' as well as others. He con-
tends that it is a mistake to exempt
the exceptional child from the com
ulsory law. He declared: THE
very children who need special at
tention and who may become bur-
dens and dangers to society are de-
pendent for their education, special
training, and custody upon the good
Will of their parents, who are often
enough disinclined to follow the
right course. We need legislation
which would establish the right of
the commonwealth to direct the edu-
cation and training of every child,
and which would secure to the state
and municipality an authority which
can not be superseded by. parental
prejudice. We also need legislation
which would establish such board
or boards as can regulate and deter
mine the disposition which is to be
made Of every child according to his
need and the good OF the commu-
nifty"

LONDON, July 19-Sir William
.Osler, Regius professor of medicine
at oxford, has been yoicing the opin-
ion of the medical. profession at the
inadequacy OF the hospital accom-
mediation in england and comparing
unfavorably the voluntary system IN
vogue here with the system in Amer
lea and Canada, where all hospitals
accept paying patients Through
out the united Kingdom the hospital
accept no pay from their patients
with the result that they are crowd
ed with those who cannot afford to
pay. and in many cases are partially
closed because the lack of funds will
not allow all the beds to be occupied
while people who could afford to pay
something have to go to nursing
homes, which are in. most cases very
expensive. or he nursed at home.
The result, according TO doctors with
large practices, is that only the very
poor or the very rich get proper
medical attention.
