NEW THEATER PLAN


film, a short one OF a humorous
nature, two musical numbers and two
solos.
MY scheme is to have a theater
that every one will enjoy attending
and one In which a person will SEQ
and hear for ten cents what now costs
not less than half dollar. Moving
pictures so far have been used to
amuse, to startle the Imagination and
to reproduce many things which the
public would be better without having
seen. These pictures will have no
place in my theater."
Mrs. Clement will have the COOP
Grafton of the Harvard Dramatic So
ciety, as she had in her work at the
Bijou, and of many clergymen and
city officials who have been foremost
in the agitation against the moving
picture shows that are given in many
theaters.
Back of the stage will be reading
room in which the actors can amuse
themselves between their acts. There
will be luncheon, where they will be
able to purchase meals at cost.
Young men and women will be Civ
en- an opportunity to begin at the bot
tom and work to the top.

young persons said Mrs. Clement,

promising young men and women. !

TURKS FORCED INTO BAPTISM
Bulgarians christianlze Village In
Macedonia After Taking Formal
Possession of Place.

Athens.-The story of curious cpl
sode has reached here from the Greek
headquarters, which are stationed in a
village near Djumaya. 1t appears that
the village was originally Turkish, but
when the Bulgarians arrived here last
October they determined to Christian
ize it at once.
They demolished the minaret on the
mosque and turned the mosque itself
INTO church, with huge timber cross
In place of the minaret. They then
proceeded to forcibly baptize the in
habitants-men, women and children.
A pile of gaudy baptismal certifi-
Gates was procured from local print
er and placed at the door of the
church, where the baptismal line
formed every day. A candidate was
forced to take certificate and passed
with it to the fount, where priest and
clerk stood ready, respectively, to bap-
tize and to register the baptism.
When the Greeks arrived last month

Japanese courtesy.

A country where courtesy is bust
ness, and business but gentle avo.
cation, reflects it's popularity in the
most trifling details of conduct. Such
a country is Japan and such detail
recently came into notice when city
electric bureau Of Tokyo asked the
patrons on its street car lines how
they preferred to be addressed when
it was necessary to urge them to
move up" Out of the 2,719 sugges-
lions sent In the Independent selects
and translates six, as follows:
Those not getting off, to the mid
die, pleased"
1.-THE middle is more comfortable"
I'm sorry, but all move on by one
strap"
There's a pretty girl about the
middle of the carl"
"A pickpocket has just come on
board!"
The municipal authorities frowned
somewhat upon the last three sugges-
tions, but the conductors will be
taught to use some of the other forms.
Is 1t possible that the Japanese hope
to enjoy an efficient traction service
on such terms? Apparently they hope
to, and we pass along the Japanese
idea as a helpful hint to the gentle
men who jerk gong on the hear OF
our own street cars.

A Bonnet Party.

Now do not say that bonnet parties
are old, until you hear about this one,
which was given for twenty children.
When all had arrived the hostess
passed three sheets of colored tissue
paper, some squares of crepe paper of
gay color, and two fancy paper nap
kins to each child. On a center Ia
BILE she puts pins, scissors, tubes Of
paste and little towels and bowl of
water for wiping the paste off of fin.
ger-tips. She said half-hour would
be allowed for making any kind of a
hat, cap or bonnet, the maker to don
the headgear and when time was call
ed they were to form in line and pass
before the judges, who would award
the prizes.
Such busy time as those children
had; they were really most clever,
too, in building their hats. The old.
est guest was eleven and the young
est eight and some of the work was
excellent. The prizes were doll band
boxes containing lovely hats for dolly
and the ice cream was served in the
dearest straw hats (dcll size) lined
with waxed paper, The children en-.
joyed the novelty and each one went
home with her creation on her head.
1t Is needless to say that there were
no boys at this party. The young
hostess declared that boys from nine
to twelve were mo fun" l do not
know what our boy friends will say
to this; perhaps some of them will
mend their ways bit, so as not to
be left out of parties.

A Steamer ExperIenee Parry.

The description of this novel party
will be in time to assist many of you
who want to give welcomes home
to many Of your friends who have
Jared abroad this summer. Ocean
travel and trips on the great lakes
clear through to Buffalo have been
very popular, as there have been
some palatial steamers put on this
year which have given yoyagers a
sense Of security on our treaeherous
inland seas.
With all this in mind the hostess
asked eight friends, every one of
whom had taken steamer" vaca-
ton. Two of them having made the
old-fashioned "befo' de war" trip from
st. Louis to New Orleans on the
river" The guests were asked to
give only f1fteen-minute descriptions
of what was to them the most inter-
esting or exciting part of their trip,
and thus you see two hours Of the
afternoon from three to six" was
beautifully filled. While one person
talked" the others had their needle
work.
The affair was held on the porch
and there were as many steamer
chairs as the hostess could borrow.
After all had arrived, the twelve-year-
old boy of the household dressed as
a ships steward, served hot beef tea
and pilot biscuit" and during the
afternoon the time was sounded by
bells. Books Of travel, guide books
and literature so abundantly furnish
ed by steamship lines was scattered
about, and there were many souvenir
postals with a desk equipped for
writing should anyone wish to send
a last message back by the pilot, who
came in dressed as sailor Ga dear
little chap in MILDLY suit with First
Pilot" on his capband).
After each one had had her turn
with no Interruptions of NAL de mer,
delicious refreshments were served,
and everyone agreed that it had been
q most delightful afternoon, as 1t had
given good friends the opportunity
Of meeting and hearing each others

Boston Woman Arranging to
Erect Model Playhouse.
She Alma at Moral Growth-Readinq-
Room and Lunch Stand in Rear of
Sage Will Aid Comfort of the
Performers.

Boston, Mass.-Mrs. Josephine Gle
ment, probably the best-known woman
theatrical manager in the country, has
a scheme for a model theater which
she hopes to build within a few
months.
She has not yet decided where she
will erect the theater, but she has
abundant financial backing by per-
SONS who have been attracted by her
success with the theater of which for
several years she has been the man.
ager
1t Is to be a theater In which ev
cry seat will give an unobstructed
view of the stage. The cost of a seat
will be ten cents and the entertain
ments will be of type that will have
the approval of leaders in the "uplift
movement" throughout the United
States.
1T will be different from anything
there is In the United States" said
Mrs. Clement. only performances of
the highest class will be given and
the theater will be unique, as 1t will
have light and air on all four sides.
ut will have dignified entrances,
and everything inside will be arranged
for the comfort of the patrons and the
actors.
II believe that actors who have
brains enough to amuse audiences are
entitled to as much as the patrons,
and that Is why there will be as good
an entrance in the back for them as
there is for the public in front.
Actors who are satisfied with their
surroundings will cooperate with the
management, and that means success
for the theater."
The Bijou theater, under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Clement, has made fea-
ture of moving pictures, and 1t is her
intention to give pictures in her new
theater, but they will be of a type
different from any now in general use.
There will be nothing in them to Of
fend, and they will be entirely free
from the weird features which have
brought forth Criticisms from clergy
men all over the world
Mrs. Clements idea is to have pic
lures that will educate and aid in up
lift work.
Il am going to show pictures that
will tend towards moral and intel
lectual development" said Mrs. Gle
ment. Il intend to give one long

and am for anything that pleases the

slit skirt may do some good because

A Corn Roast.

Our amusements are greatly gov
erned by the season of the year, and
right now the popular thing is a
corn roast" OF course they are not
new, but there is something decided
ly alluring in moonlight night, a
big bonfire, just the right crowd, and
plenty of nice, sweet roasting ears,
not forgetting sweet potatoes, bacon,
coffee and the delicious sandwiches

Even the effete east is having corn
roasts with the smartest of the smart
set as host and hostess. Motor cars
are often discarded and hayracks
with four horses call for the guests.
If colored man who knows lust
how" Is available, he may be called
upon to superintend the broiling of
the bacon, roasting the potatoes, corn,
and making the coffee; if not, the
men Of the party will be found quite
capable. Banjos, guitars and the
cushions from the wagon add to the
enjoyment after the repast, then the
affair usually winds up with an in
formal dance at the home of the host

affairs. Here is list of sandwiches
