The Forsberg Players interpreta-
tlon of David Belasco's success, The
Governors Lady" is more than a
success this week--it is a triumph
The vital drama which had a long
run in New York when first perform
ed some years ago, is one which re-
quires unusual histrionie ability III
the delineatlon of it's characters, but
no play produced under the manage
ment of Mr.. Forsberg this season has
been so peculiarly well adapted to
the personnel of the stock company
which holds forth at the Orpheum
Theatre.
1T is a play singularly well fitted
to become the sequel of last weeks
gripping drama, THE Divorce Cues
ton" The vehicle, however, Is
eminently more graceful and vastly
superior in construction than the iat-
ter play.
The theme deals with that Ameri-
can ideal-the self made man, Jim
Slade, who, risen from the ranks by
his own efforts, until he can count
his money in millions, becomes i'm
bued with the desire to lead a high
public life. The governorship of a
western State is at his command be-
cause of his powerful influence and
his combativeness In coping with all
sorts of obstacles. The political
enemies who spring up on every side
when his name is first mentioned fan
before his wrath like so many
sheaves of wheat before the winds,
but q sudden barrier is placed In the
path of his aspirations by his wife's
raFHaoI m ~ 1aaNenIf n thu ms
social surroundings which come with
the advance of her husbands in
fluence and the piling of his wealth.
Mrs. Slade continually repines for
the days when she labored over the
washtub knitted the governor to
be's" socks and cooked for him three
times a day. Slade wishes to kick
the ladder on which he climbed"
from under him, but Mrs. Slade can
not and will not become accustomed
to the new order of things. She finds
herself suddenly surrounded by
wealth and luxury with a retinue of
servants at her beck and call, but
the etiquette and eXactions of social
life are a source of untold horror to
her.
Finally realizing the futility of eX-
horting his wife to assist him in his
fight for the governorship by mixing
In with the social set, Slade decides
that separation and finally divorce is
the proper course for him to pursue.
1t is at this point that Slade, ably
portrayed by Charles Dingle, comes
into contact with an insurmountable
obstacle. The pluck and fortltude
with which Mrs Slade assisted him
In his Climb" are now thrown
against him. The difficult role o

Miss Stahl Is an actress whose abil-
ity is backed by years of varied ex-
perience. That she is tho life-saver
of "a Perfect Lady" goes without
saying. She gives Lucille le Jambon
a personality of her own, despite the
playwrights.
Lucille is a "burlesque queen" who
has been forced into the work
through her desire to earn money
enough to keep her young sister in
school. She went upon the stage
with Shakespearean ambitions, but
they had to be put aside when the
necessity for money came.
The opening of the play finds the
company waiting at Sycamore juno

1t is expected that Fritz Kreisler,
the famous violinist, who was
wounded recently while serving as
an officer in the Austrian army. Will
be a guest of John Mccormack at
the recital to be given by the latter
tonight at the First Regiment
Armory. Kreisler arrived in this
country day before yesterday with
an interesting fund Of information
concerning the war He and McCor-
mack are intimate friends, and We're
to have made a concert tour to-
gether in Europe during the early
fall.
The outbreak of the war sum
moned Kreisler to the colors of his
native country and found McCor-
mack in Ostend with a big check he
was unable to cash. When McCor-
mack reached London he had only
nine cents in his pocket and hadn't
tasted food for forty-eight hours.
Kreisler's wound incapacitated him
for service.

Drophead Disease.

One of the strangest diseases Is
known as kubisagari. 1t is common
i'm Northern Japan and in small dis
trict on the Franco-Swiss frontier
but unknown elsewhere. Its symp
toms are a sudden paralysis of GER
tain muscles, loss of vision and YER
tigo. The attacks last about ten min
utes and continue at intervals from
May to November, recovery always
coming in the autumn. Nothing is
known about its cause, though DR.. p.
L. Couchaud describes in the Presse
Medicate a microbe he found in the
cerebro spinal fluid and the milk of
persons suffering from the disease.
The name kubisagari is Japanese, and
means "drophead."

HOW PARIS STYLES MAKE
MUCH HAIR FROM LITTLE

You have noticed the prevailing
hair styles, which are Partisan, make
it impossible to use false hair because
of the simple lines which conform to
re natural shape of the head. It
'--refore becomes necessary to make
gour own hair look as heavy as pos
sible. This is not a difficult task if
YOU are careful to keep It perfectly
clean. In washing the hair it is not
advisable to use a makeshift, but
always use a preparation made for
shsmpooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting pack
age Of canthrox from your druggist;
dissolve teaspoonful In a cup of hot
water and your shampoo is ready.
After it's use the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be SO fluffy
that ii will look much heavier than it
is. It's lustre and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth. Advertisement.

thronged last night at the entertain

of the church. There was a pleasing
minstrel program, in which the young
women attested to their weeks OF

The affair was the first to be given
by the society since Rev. Michael p.
Corcoran was appointed head of the
parish. The performance will be re-
peated tonight.
The cast was made up solely of
young women, from the interlocutor
down. They proved to be as well able
to entertain as the young men of the
parish The latter were forced to sit
in the audience while the fair sex
sprung jokes at their expense from
the stage.

MINERS

, Butch Cooper'S Globe Irottefs at
Miners Theatre this week is tune
full little extravaganza that is more
of a musical comedy than what Is
popularity termed burlesque. In two
features 1t stands out more prom
| inently than most other shows of
the burlesque type in that 1t has
half a dozen comedians and come
diennes who are rare artists at the
task of manufacturing laughs, and
ii has a chorus of pretty girls with
musical voices.
Such merrymakers as Leo Kendall,
Eddie B. Collins, Frank Hunter, Billy
Moore. Don Trent, Bob" Algiers,
Eta Joerns and frankie Rice, along
with Madge Darrell. who says she
weighs ESQ pounds and looks every
ounce of it, are well known to Miners
Theatre audiences, and their group
ing in one cast tells a story In itself.
The show is zone laugh from begin
ming to end" as a press agent would
say, if the dramatic editor didn't
catch him at 1t.
Eddie CoAlns, in an Irish makeup,
can tie his face into more grotesQue
knots than we ever saw on single
human countenance, Joe jackson In
Guided. OF course, a two-faced man
like Frank Hunter isn't so limited,
but Collins furnishes his own scenery
for every one of his innumerable jests
and there were more than that last
night because there was a delegation
of Baker Printing Company men
present and additional merriment was
served up at their expense. One of
the men, whose laugh ought to win
him fortune, had the performers
beside themselves with laughter all
the time.
The music is excellent, including
such popular numbers as "Dengoza
Strain" ABA Daba Honeymoon,
Valley of the Moon" and THE Waltz
of the Rose" Fancy and soft-shoe
dancing are features in themselves.
Altogether, the show is q good one,
fully as brilliant as THE Golden
Crook which attained such popu-
larity here two weeks ago.
