and Jungman Sextet Among
Others Numbers Of Bill.

Vaudeville has added another star to
It's ranks and the latest one to take on
the two a day" is native of Wash
ington and none other than Miss Percy
Hasweli. For the past two years Miss
HaswelI has been starring In London
and the provinces, and there has been
no limit to her triumphs. For her vaude-
wife tour a comedy Of the Elizabethan
era entitled Master Wills Players is
the vehicle in which this gifted actress
Is given opportunity to display her
histrionic talents. Being possessed Of a
charming personality Miss Haswell
makes q delightful Rosalind, in a scene
from "As You Like It." which is apro-
priately interpolated. AS Lady Alice

wood. a player in shakespeare's COM
pany, and she goes to his inn disguised
as a boy and declares she Is player
like himself and N putting her to the
test scenes from ''As You Like 1t, and
Tanning Of the Shrew" are given. As
Rosalind and Katherine, Miss Haswell
gives portrayals that completely cap
tiyate her audiences. Her supporting
company shared the honors Of the
opening performances with the star.
Frank Fogarty, the Dublin Minstrel,
is undoubtedly one OF the best enter
tainers On the vaudeville stage and for
fully twenty minutes kept his audience
amused with the funny stories of his
friends, Kerrigan and O'Brien. With
nearly all acts booked with "and COM
pany'' Mr.. Fogarty Is in line and for
his support he takes the orchestra for
his "and company" in singing a patter

MRS, LESLIE CARTER,
WITH GOOD CAST, At
BELASC0 THEATER
"Zaza" Well Received, Although
Play Is Now in Fifteenth
Season.

Mrs. Leslie Carter, whose appearance
more than fifteen years ago in "Zaza'
was the talk of the dramatic world,
again appeared in the title role of that
famous play at the Belasco last night.
An audience that well filled the theater
greeted her and company equally as
strong as the original one.
"Zaza'' is the story of French music
hall singer on the eve of becoming the
rage as an artist, who steps into the
life of a married man, not knowing his
marital condition, falls madly in love
with him, and. after it is a bit too late,
discovers her mistake. is morally
strengthened by her experiences, and
as a result. enters into the straight and
narrow path.
The story Of Zaza is an old one, and
hut few of present-day theater-goers
have not heard it as told by Mrs. Car
ter and her company at one time or
another. Last nights performance was
not as smooth as will follow the re-
naming part of the week. Even the
principals were inclined to halt with
their lines. and more thsn once one of
the leading characters promised to
place a cuss on the brow" Of Zaza,
having later to change his wording to
kiss"
Brandon Hurst, as Bernard Dufrene,
who plays opposite Mrs. Carter as
Zaza, is well fitted for the unsympa-
thetic part. Throughout the perform
ance he shows himself to be a careful
student of the part. Hamilton Mott, as
Rigauit, the college chum of Dufrene,
who occupies the stage for couple OF
acts, gives a good portrayal Of the
young writer responsible for the song
i'm which Zaza makes her hit
AS clever as the original Cascart is
Albert Perry, who appears as the sing
ing partner of Zaza- Miss Josephine
Morse, as Zaza's aunt, plays well her
part as the unwelcome relative with
habit of showing up at the wrong time.

GREAT SUCCESS IN
THE QUAKERG|RL' y
Dainty Washingtonian, With
PercivaI Knight, Scores at
the National.

Many persons witnessed the perform
ance OF THE Quaker Girl at the Ma
uonal Theater last night. and as a
most substantial proof of popularity
many left the house whistling and hum
ming the catchy airs of this musical
show.
No matter how hard the producer
tries there does not seem to be any
thing left In the way of plot which
Ii startlingly original, but there was at
ieast one little surprise for the audience
last night. which. coming as it did in
the midst of plot which was all too
Transparent, was refreshing. In nine
cases out of ten the chorus comes to

which means that the star is coming,
and then parts in the middle for her or

and make bow to the audience.

For city Officers

The city election, which takes
place on Tuesday, the 10Th inst,
does not seem to create any ex-
element this year. But one
petition for Mayor has been cir
culated-that of DR.. J w. Ross.
In the first ward we understand
a petition is in circulation for
John Lewis for alderman. In
the second ward there are two
aldermen to be elected, J. S.
F'arley's term having expired,
and the vacancy caused by the
removal of alderman H. F.. Mel
son from the ward is also to be
filled at this election. Mr.. Hen
ry Martens has been filling the
latter place by appointment
and we understand will be a
candidate for reelection, as will
also Mr.. Farley, and D. Stats is
also a candidate for alderman
from this ward. In the third
ward petitions are being circu-
lated for John Malsed and w. G.

Be Cheerful

How many of you have risen the past few
cloudy days and actually prayed that the sun
would shine?
How many of you felt the effect of the dull
grey days on your tempers or in your homes
or at work?
How many of you responded hopefully and
cheerfully when yesterday old Sol finally drove
through his grey enemies and cast abroad his
warm, life giving rays?
Follow the suns example. Cast your rays of
brightness, cheerfulness and opt mism abroad as
you go about. Too many people resemble too
closely the deadening grey clouds-so many, in
fact, that practically all particularly notice the
cheerful and optimistic individual who radiates
sympathy, gentleness and encouragement.
Encourage the cheerfulness and optimism in
your own nature. To do so you must give. Like
the weakling who develops strength of muscles
by first spending his scant store of energy in
gymnasium exercises, receiving it back with
manifold increase, so must you give of your
store of cheerfulness if you would increase the
capacity of that side of your nature.

was boy, IT years old who knew he
had sister. but as the family was
broken up when they were both very
young, he didn't know where to look
for her. How a branch of the Pres
byterian church was the means
| through which the brother and sister
were restored again reads like a tale
! from the yellow backed novel which
boys used TO try to hide from their
mothers.
George Greenway last heard about
his sister in Chicago, so he went to
that city to find Helen. George never
heard of the needle that went visiting

read the latest census reports on the
population of Chicago. He took the
most direct route and started with
no clues but his sisters name.
| In two days he found her!
Some people would call it Provi-
dence. Some might say he was lucky.
George first got into prominence
when he was walking on the Grand
Boulevard in front of the First Pres
byterian church. This is two miles
from the loop district in Chicago and
no one knows how he got there. He
read the pastors name on the front of
the church and went next door to DR..
w. c. Covert's house and told his
story. DR.. Covert is editor of Men at
Work" the organ of the Presbyterian
Brotherhood. 1t so happens that a
few weeks ago, this brotherhood of
Chicago had organized a new depart
ment to welcome strange young men
in Chicago and help them to find a
church here. This work was put in
charge of DR.. Francis Fox, one of the
associate secretaries of the brother
hood. Dr. Covert thought that find
ing lost sister was not far separated
from the main job of this bureau of
finding lost boys or churches for the
wandering young men, so he sent the
lad to DR.. Fox.
DR.. Fox fortunately was in his Of
fee at 500 South Wabash avenue and
was ready to help the boy without a
friend. He took him to a newspaper
office and told the city editor the boys
story. The paper was ready to help
