this country by Charles Frohman as a
starring vehicle for Miss Barrymore. Its
first New York production was at the
Bruce McRae. William Simpson. Edgar
selwyn. and Anita Roth in the cast. The
origin of the play is shrouded In mys-
terry. for beyond the fact that 1t is a
composite composition. toward which
some of the best known of English ac-
tors contributed. none have been able
to penetrate the program announcement
that Thomas Raceward" is the author.
Its story deals with the adventures of
q pretty little English girl whom for
tune has left in wild cattle town of

BIindne,s of Virtue"


Cosmo Hamflton's comedy. built on a
serious theme The Blindness of Vir-
ture." will be presented at Polls Thea
ter tomorrow afternoon by the first all
American cast selected to interpret the
stage story since il began its two years
run at the Little Theater in London. The
Poll Players will be called upon to enact
roles that have been played in the United
States heretofore only by members of
the original English companies. The play
itself is now famous wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken 1t is a drama
tization of book by Mr.. Hamilton, which
dealt with one of the most vital themes
in the life of today. The play and the
original American cast were imported
from the American Theaters by William
Morris at the beginning Of last season.
and the London success of the play was
duplicated in New York, Chicago. and
Boston. The story is laid in the home of
an English vicar and tells how an inno-
cent daughter of the household almost
becomes the victim of a tragedy be-
cause her parents have allowed her to
reach adolescence utterly ignorant of the
fundamental facts of life. The quick
success of the comedy, of course, was
due to the fact that it tells a charming
and wholesome love story, presents many
legitimate and tense dramatic situations.
and is written in the brilliant epigram-
matte style or which Cosrno Hamilton is
famous. The three leading roles in this
weeks production will be played by Miss
Jewel. as the girl; Mr. Buhler. as her
lover, and Mr.. Corbett. as the vicar.
Other characters will be interpreted by
Frank Shannon, Stanley James, Cecil
Bowser. Russell Fillmore, Louise Kent,
Gertrude BondhiIl. and Helen Tracy.

SOMETHING TO SAY FOR MULE
Travelling Tobacco Man Made a Study
of Spanish With a Distinct OBJ
ject in View.

Before returning from my first trip
to Cuba l improved my Spanish by
diligent study in order to inform a
mule in his own language just what
thought of him without any confus-
ing equivocation," said a travelling to-
bacco man.
This mule was one that l rode on
a tour of some tobacco plantations.
The people from whom borrowed the
mule said that 1t was an animal of
tireless energy, tenacious disposition,
and marvellous speed
Il had no sooner mounted the beast
than it showed a disposition to can
ter far in advance of my party over
hills and through fields until / real
lied suddenly that l had practically
lost the others.
81 spoke sharply to the mule and
tried to rein it in. Instead Of slack
ing pace the animal went faster.
II spoke more sharply still and
refined harder. Same result.
Faster and faster went the mule.
It galloped on through forests, open
country and startled villages. might
have been galloping yet, kind of
permanent John Gilpin, had l not ut
tered, wholly by chance, word Of
Spanish profanity that the mule
might understand.
What yelled was the Spanish for
'Whoa!' 1t stopped the mule like
magic. Throughout the trip had been

while saving at the reins.
But that mule heard lot of un-
Ineligible Spanish from me before

The whale is usually supposed to he

were on an ice foe when they were at
tackled by six or seven whales. The
method Of assault was ingenious. The
animals swan under the ice and
smashed 1t by blows from their bodies
with the evident intention of shaking
their victims into the water. Then it
was clear that the whales shared our
establishment, for one after another
their huge, hideous heads shot verti-
cally into the air through the cracks
which they had made. AS they reared
them to height of six or eight feet
1t was possible to see their tawny
head markings, their small, glistening
eyes. and their terrible array of teeth
by far the largest and the most ter
rtfying in the world. There cannot be
doubt that they looked up to see
what had happened to Pointing and his
dogs. That they could display
such deliberate cunning, that they
were able to break ice of such thick

that they could act in unison were a
