THE QUAKER GIRL

This is the story which j. Lawrence

Quaker Girl" which is to appear at
the Harnois on January 20.
The Quaker Girl who was born in
London during Coronation year-my

Of the Columbia theater last night.
And she wasn't slapped on to that
stage like so many of her sisters,
English and American, before she had
had a chance to get the creases and
s%mudges of the roady road out of her

been dry cleaned and steam cleaned
and starched and ironed and coached
to look her prettiest before they let
the curtain divulge her. For which

was quite tonic-y.
However, the time "The Quaker
Girl' takes to weave her spell should
not be held up against her. She is
charming apart from the dried-clean>
ness of her. Not by one-half is she as
demure as her name would suggest.

Cohan has bought a large farm
where. he hopes to live a good share
of the time and be more with his
family. He doesn't propose to quit
theatrical work however. He says he
will double his activities as composer,
author and manager, and nus keep in
the game
George M. Cohan's rise has been one
of the wonders of the American the
atrical business. At thirty-four he is
said to be worth over $1,000, 600, all of
which he has made through his w
efforts. He started out is a young
ster in bu~rlesque, and didn't seem to
be very wonderful. After he and the
other members of the Cohan family
Josephine and Jerry-left this style of
entertainment and began to give the
entire evenings show on the Stair and
Havelin circuit, he started writing the
things in which the family appeared.

Carolina White, who is to appear in
a grand opera recital in Missoula on
February 3 under the auspices of the
Philharmonic society, has already quit
the Chicago Grand Opera company,
the prinna donna of which she has
been since the season opened, and has
commenced her concert tour. Much
has been written concerning Cardinals
devotion to her art and of the hard
work she was doing, taking one par,
and then another whenever she was
needed to fill in for someone else a,
scheduled performances. 1t is pos
sihle hat the star became weary of
this hard work, for her decision not
to sing in the performance with which
an end, was suddenly made and an
nounced. The Chicago Tribune tells
the story as follows:
Carolina White, recalcitrant star OF
the Chicago Opera company, did not
sing last night in Aida" Her decision
was sudden, firm and late. There
was only a polite little note to Mana
ger DIPPED that she was not well
enough to appear.
But her health was sufficient to
give a dinner party at her hotel. And
she left her guests long enough to in
form a reporter she was perfectly
happy and not i'll a bit. She asserted
she refused to sing for various rea>
sons. They are:
L have sung too much in opera
lately; l have been overworked.

and l did not wish to strain my voice
further by singing tonight.

Nine. Whites appearance was to
have been her last in Chicago opera

not give.
Her unexpected announcement left
the opera management "in a pickle

came a hero.
This encouraged Cohan to write
more, and he kept getting buster and
buster with the pen while keeping up
his regular grind as an actor. Soon
his work was popular in the high
grade houses, and as he turned out
play after play his bank account grew
and grew.
He earned a reputation and a small
fortune with comical stuff that could
hardly be classed as legitimate COM
edy. More RECENTLY, however, he has
shown hat he really has the straight
dramatic sense. His broadway Jones'
has received a glowing tribute from no
less an authority than Arnold Bennett,
the English writer.
SO Conan has concluded that as an
author and producer he a score. a
| greater success than as an actor. That
accounts for his decision to quit the
stage for all time.

Cohan to Quit Stage

New York, Jan. 11.-(Special)-Some
actors and actresses have a habit OF
retiring. They announce regularly that
they are about to quit the f~ootlights
forever. Then they go on gailN about
their business as if they had made no
announcement at all, and retire only
when their ~lifeless forms are dragged
off the stage.
Perhaps this is the reason why the
recent announcement that George M.
Conan, the. Yankee Doodle Kid" Is to
quit the footlights for good has not
been taken seriously by everybody. But
George has given out an authoritative
statement that he positively will quit
the stage very soon.

(stafF Correspondent United Press.)
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 16.-The re-
moval from the once to which he was
elected governor Of the state OF New
York-WiIliam Sulser was a math%
mAtical certainty today. His op-'
ponents have the two-thirds votes
needed under the constitution And
they have, In addition, the determine
tion to put through their program.
It seemed certain when the high
court Of impeachment met 1t 1915
this morning, that the verdict would
be recorded tonight. 1t was possible
that 1t might not be complete until
tomorrow. But the constitutional ma
jority of the court-38 votes-was
against the elected governor.
The initial test vote, taken yester-
day, showed one more vote than was
needed to remove. On this question.
which is that william Sulzer fled a
false statement OF his monetary
transactions following the last gu.
bernatorial campaign, the judges Of
the court of appeals divided Ave
against the governor to four In favor
Of hiS contention that the court did
not have the power to pass upon acts
committed prior to his subscribing to
the oath Of ONCE. Among the judges
who upheld the contention of the gov
ernor. was Edgar M. Cullen. the chief
Justice.
The real issue will come on the
fourth article Of impeachment. This

were committed after he became gov.

The attempt to send It back to the
assembly for amendment 80 that IL
would include the allegation that he
also tried to tamper with the high
court Of impeachment. failed. But the
court, by q vote of 46 to IL, ruled
that the original article was broad
enough to include the testimony OF
Duncan w. Peck. Peck, who Is state
superintendent of public works, d.
rectly charged Sulxer with attempted
subornation Of perjury. He said that
after he was subpoenaed by the Fraw.
ley investigating committee. he went
to Sulxer, told him that he had been
called a. q witness, and asked him
what he could say under oath regard
ing cash contribution Of $500. which,
he swore, he made to the governors
campaign fund. According to Peck,
Sulxer said:
Forget 1t, as ! will"
On this vote, already a matter OF
record, Il was said by members. OF the
impeachment court, Sulzer was certain
to be removed from the ONCE. The
friends Of the governor, who are
handling his fight behind closed doors
In the Impeachment court. privately
admitted before entering the court
today, that their fight was well-nigh
hopeless.
