Solving the Difficulty

From Pearson's Weekly.
There is another story told in connec-
ton with the formation of the great dia-
mond trust.
Rhodes wanted some weeks TO complete
his ARRANGEMENTS, but Barney Barnato
wanted to hustle Rhodes into going on
with the scheme at once. Barnato had
large stock of diamond. sorted for the
market-and anybody who knows about
diamonds is aware of the number of
sorted-and he threatene-, to put them
on the market at once unless his terms
were agreed TO.
Rhodes. Barnato and Alfred Belt had
meeting at which to discuss the sit
uation, and Barnato, with a complacent
smile, laid out his little heaps of pre-
cious stones on side table, In the
midst of the discussion Rhodes led Bar
nato up to the side table
~Barnev.' he said. 'have you ever seen
bucketful Of diamonds?"
Barnato, off his guard, said he hadn't,
and Rhodes went on: well. If these
diamonds fill a bucket I'll take them all
over from you at your price, Then,
without giving Bainato time to answer,
Rhodes swept the heaps pell-mell into
bucket standing near.
The stones, as Rhodes expected. did
not fill 1t. but they were all mixed up
again. and the resorting of them. which
would take sone weeks, would give him
time to complete hts arrangements.
With triumphant grin Rhodes marched
from the room, having gained his point.

ANNIE RUSSELL TO BE
SEEN in THE RIVALS"
Favorite Actress and Her Comedy
Company Returns to jefferson
Theatre Thursday Night

Few persons not familiar with theatrical
affairs can appreciate the greatness of
the task, and consequently, the impor-
tance of the achievement signified in the
undertaking and the successful issue of
Annie Russells Old English Comedy COM
pany, which returns to the Jefferson
theatre Thursday night in THE Rivals"
In New York three important plays
were acted-"She Stoops to Conquer"
"Much Ado About Nothing and 1.-THE
Rivals'--three ambitious productions
which left g. lasting impression of charm
and beauty upon large and intelligent
public that is not interested in the av-
erage theatrical offering Of the day. The
;redit for this achievement belongs to
Miss Annie Russell, whom theatregoers in
his country and in England have known
n the past for a certain delicate and
POLISHED dramatic method. and great per-
sonal charm, but not for any managerial
effort. Miss Russell has high Ideals. and
the successful launching of her comedy
company is their realization. 1t was her
own capital that was used to finance her
artistic pilgrimage which practical" mna-
ayers had little hope for at the begin
ming. But the venture has resulted in
practical success.
: Hundreds of theatregoers will also be
glad to renew their acquaintance with
''Thc Rivals" Sheridan's find old comedy
which has had no adequate representa-
tion for many years.
Miss Russell will take the exquisitely
quaint part of Lydia Languish, veritable
pastel OF the eighteenth century; Oswald
Yorlxe will be seen as Captain Absolute
and Mr.. Stevens as the irrepressible and
iun-making Bob Acres
1t is not necessary to recommend 1.-THE
Rivals" on the ground of great educa-
tional value for there is a much better
recommendation in the jolly good fun of
it. The enduring vitality of this stage

"TRUXTON FTNG"
AT THE BIJOU
characterization of Georpe Barr Me-
Cutcheon's Most Popular Romance
to Be Presented

Young Truxton King didn't care FOR
manufacturing steel, the thing his father
wanted him to do, nor did he vearn to be
social Solomon. which was his mothers
expectation of him So he went the wide
world over in pursuit of romance. Not
until he had ventured into Graustark and
there had about decided that no such
thing as a romance existed, did the good
genii who guards the alluring creature
appear before him and show him the OBJ
ject of his dreams.
How young King fought the good fight
with those who protected the little Prince
Robin and wooed and won a maiden fair
is told, as most fiction lovers know, in
George Barr McCutcheon's novel. ''Trux-
ton King" now comes forth in a play
and with him the beautiful Olga Plata
nova, the grim Dangloss. the iron Count
Marlanx, the unhappy Countess Ingomede,
and others of the interesting characters
who made the pages of ''Truxton King"
seem all too brief.
The play is the work of Miss Grace
Haywood, whose dramatization of Mr..
McCutcheon's "Graustark' q few years
ago met immediate success. Miss Hay
wood spent her summer vacation In Swift
zerland, and she had but to imagine that
just on the other side of any of the
great mountain peaks she loved so well
lay "Graustark," that mythical place of
adventure. So in that inspirational coun-
try Miss Haywood wove Mr.. McCutch-
cons sprightly tale into a play and
brought her creation home for submis-
sion to her friends, whose verdict war;
ranted it's prompt submission TO the pub
lie.
The stage version of '@Truxton King
is told in four acts. and the scenic in
vestiture is picturesque and elaborate.
The first and second acts show the pri-
vate garden of the Prince of Edelweiss-
capital of Graustark. The third act the
underground room Of the anarchists and
the last act the throne room at tho
castle. Written solely to amuse and to
provoke good humoh.. the sprlnghtly
romance causes one to forget for a while
the troubles of a workaday world. "Trux-
ton King" which will be presented at
the Bijou theatre all this week. with
matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day ought to prove good dramatic enter
tainment.
