New York, May 3.-Every once in a
while something happens to discount all
that experienced theatrical people can say
to discourage stage-struck young folks
who think fame is theirs for the asking.
The experience of the thousands who
starve in cheap lodging houses, wearing
out shoe leather in a fruitless search for
opportunities, only to meet discourage
ment from one manager and another,
from one week to another, until funds
give out and hope is extinguished-all
these experiences go for naught in the
face of a single experience like that of
Lily CahilIs. IF she could do it, why
not I?'' is the question that frames inself
instantly on the lips of thousands of aspir-
ants.
Miss Cahi1I began her stage career last
summer in a stock company in a western
city. She did very well, indeed but how
were the New York managers to hear of
her work? Like so many other ambitious
girls, she saved enough money to take her
east. Luck being with her, she found
employment with obscure company

WARFIELD'SODD CAREER
Started as an Usher in a San Francisco
Theater.

When youngster in San Francisco,
David Warfield had a passion for the
atmosphere of the theater Usually it
| satisfied him if he were permitted to
stand in front and gaze at the three
Sheets" but there came an hour when
the impulse to become a factor in the
playhouse overmastered family objec-
tions and the adolescent David OBJ
tanned employment as an usher at
nothing per week save the joy of seeing
all the performances and establishing
an actual footing in a domain that
hitherto had been a radiant dream.
At that time there was living in San
Francisco a poor man who needed an
artificial leg Some of his friends I'M
dertook to promote a theatrical per-
Torrance for the purpose of raising
leg fund. Usher Warfield volunteered
for the occasion, and went on as a
story-teller and imitator of actors he
had studied That was the taste of
blood that reused the actor passion in
him. His first salaried employment
was as a member of a repertory COM
pany at Napa, Cal 1t lasted one week.
The crash was a cruel hurt to the
pride and ambition of the ardent aspir-
ant fsr glory; but he resolutely set out
for the city on foot and again took his
place as an usher at the old theater.
In the autumn of 1890 he cut loose
from his Pacific mornings and jour
neyed to New York. He reached there
November IL and after a discouraging
quest, he secured an engagement in an
Eighth avenue concert hall, where his
salary was SIS a week. In less than
a year he was called to an import
ant place with Russells Comedians,

be the record hreak king star for an en-
firo nm m

dearest hope-an engagement on
Broadway. II turned out that he was
on the straight road to success. The
season of 1928 found him struggling
along with Annie Lewis in "A Nutmeg
Match" That was followed in 1894-5
by a return to Russell's Comedians in
an experiment, named 1.-The Review"
1t was a disastrous failure, but it led
to Warfield's present wonderful career.
George Lederer, then producing must
cal comedies at the New York Casino,
engaged Warfield but hesitated to al
low him to present his chara ton

hit in THE Review

field collarless, with shabby frock coat
and old derby hat damned against his

CoNCoRDIA GETS HOSPITAL.
Missouri Pacific Will Treat Emergency
Cases There.

Concordia. Kan, May 3.-Concordia
will have another Improvement In the
matter of a Missouri Pacific Emergency
hospital, which was granted by the
chief surgeon, DR.. Paul Mastering of
St Louis. About one year ago the en-
plovees of the northern Kansas divi-
sion, with the branches pertaining to
it, sent petition to the chief surgeon
at St Louis, asking that Concordia be
given an emergency station and dis
pensary, as DR.. w. r. Priest is located
here, and he is the division surgeon.
DR.. Priest used his influence and it
was largely through his influence that
the hospital was established here. The
Missouri Pacific will have their hos
pitaI in connection with St. Joseph's
hospital of which DR.. w. r. Priest is
chief surgeon. All Missouri Pacific
employees can be treated at this hos
pital from now on, and this will give
them treatment for which they pay
hospital dues each month, without
having to go to Kansas City or ST

ed the managers that a really remarkable
young actress was hiding her light in the
out-of-the-way playhouse where this COM
pany labored. Several came to see her,
and Miss Cahill was in a position to pick
her own career.
She chose to join the company at one
of Broadways foremost playhouses, which
was then preparing the production of it's
greatest success. No sooner had she be-
gun rehearsalS than it became apparent
that the role assigned her was hardly of
sufficient consequence for an actress of
her abilities. Soon she was given an
important role in "a Mans Friend" made
up almost entirely of stars, and made the
hit of the play.
Then came the plans for the production
of Israel ZangwilPS 1.-The Next Religion
for a single performance for charity. A
cast of stars was engaged for the play,
but the leading part, one that surpassed
all others in strength and Importance.
remained untitled until some one thought
of Miss Cahill. Thus, within seven months
of the arrival in New York of an actress,
without reputation, friends or money, she
had become the leading member of one
of the very strangest casts of the year.

TEST HORSES FOR CHAMBERS
GraybiH Says All Brought in State
Must Be Examined.

Hutchinson, Kan, May Sam
GraybiIl, state livestock commissioner.
announced today that after May Is
all horses brought into Kansas are to
be treated for CHAMBERS and must be
free from the disease before they can
be brought into the state. Every
horse imported into Kansas for pri-
waite use or for sale must be given the
MaIIein test and a certificate of free
dom from CHAMBERS must accompany
the animals.
The order was issued because of the
numerous cases of CHAMBERS reported
from several parts of the state recent
~ and the Investigations of the cases
showed that the disease was brought
in and spread to Kansas horses
through the importation of animals
from several other states 1t is as
serted that there are more cases of
CHAMBERS in Kansas now than at any
time in several years and the live
stock department is going to stop any
more horses coming in and injecting
others
The Mallein test is administered in
much the same way that the tubercu-
lin test is administered to cows and it
is said to be infallible in detecting
the least trace of the disease in the
horse as the tuberculin test detects
tuberculosis in cattle.
