follows:
"In reference to the statement
which appeared in one of the service

you on the subject
The writer was one of the naval
militia officers who participated in
the recent battle ship cruise to the

BILLIE BURKE's DAUGHTER. ;

When the announcement was made
a short time ago that little Adele Cheri-
DIAL who is soon to make her debut in
musical comedy. was a daughter OF
Billie Burke, the admirers of that &C.
tress were all at sea and their Ques-
tons brought out a pretty story.
1t seems that three or four years ago
two Of the most frequent callers at Miss
Burke's home at Hudson
were a Mrs Thomas Watson and her
daughter. Cheridal When at the close
OF the season she had to sail for Europe
Mrs. Watson and Cheridal were at the
pier to bid her bon voyage. 1t was rain
ing and Mrs Watson caught cold. Pneu-
monia developed and Mrs. Watson died
in few days. Upon her arrival at Liv-
erpool Miss Burke learned the news and
took the next ship home to mother the
grieving child. Mrs. Watson had sep
arated from her husband and Miss
Burke, in burst Of sympathy. told the
child to come and live with her. Cheri-
DIAL came and so endeared herself 10
her benefactor that the actress took
steps to adopt her. Thomas Watson. the
father. a builder Of Porto Rican rail-
roads, declined to give up the child. but
Miss Burke persisted. She showed how
lonesome Cheridal would be away from
her and finally In a woman's way per-
suaded the father to let her legally
adopt Cheridal- And now she is going
to train this daughter for the stage.

ARCHER SHOCKED

would have done so. There are no such

Mr.. Archer said the drama had been
greatly uplifted in America in the last
twenty years, but we were still lacking
in that form OF literature.
You are not developing dramatic
literature as we are in England" he as
serted. Twenty years ago the drama
in London was such that the plays were
printed only in paperback books, but to-
day, they have reached such a standard
that they will be preserved and handed
down.
