OF the work of Walker whiteside as
much praise. Self-contained, repressive
when the lines fairly cried for melo-
dramatic utterance which would have
detracted from their effectiveness, and
wearing a well-nigh perfect makeup.
Mr.. Whiteside did not appear to act
Tokeramo-he was Tokeramo. His more
dramatic moments were marked with
an excellent repression, while his softer
speeches were characterized by a finish
which rendered 1t a positive delight to
be able to listen to them. Tokenamo
is amply fitted to take place In a gal
lery which already contains such ex-
cellent bits Of Characterization a. those
of Mr.. Whiteside in The Melting Pot
and The Magic Melody"-two of the
finest character sketches Of the modern
American stage.
1t Is pity that one cannot conscf-
entiousiy say the same Of the work of
Miss Florence Fisher, as Illona, the
other big" role Of THE Typhoon."
Her demi-mondaine was too coarse. too
unfinished, too much of the Broadway
type 10 nave Appeared 70 u man Oh tnc
innate refinement of Tokeramo. The
harsh notes which she injected into her
voice in the second act seemed utterly
out Of accord with the soft. carressing
tones Of the first. while her posturfng
was more theatrical than sensuous.
The Typhoon" gives splendid oppor-
tunity for a large number OF smaller
roles, all of them excellently done.
Among the best were the Joshikawa OF
Stephen Wright, the Omayi of Arda Ia
Croix, and the Lindner Of Hubert Wflke.
The latter marred his first act appear
ance by overacting. but his other
scenes were admirably finished

presentation of the imminence OF the
yellow peril. not only to Germany but

Good and Bad Roads

hap. On arriving here the party met
with hearty reception. In the
evening little informal spread"
and reception was held at the Meeker
hotel, at which A. 9. Moulton,
presided.
A number of short addresses were
made. Mr.. Ehrhart WINS the first
speaker. He said he was well pleased

and White river route to the Uintah
basin. 1t wasn't part of his duties to
make suggestions ms to what route

mately adopt for the coast to coast
| highway, but so far as the state Is
concerned every available means
would be used in building fine
highway from Denver to the Uintah
basin, in Utah. He hoped the coun-
ties would do their share. He was
In favor of the state and counties

claims or suggestions of the hot air

The work Of road building, this
year, was, Mr.. Ehrhart observed,
largely preliminary. Routes and sur
veys had to be adopted. The state
and counties were going ahead with
the work in hand as fast rs possible.
