Belasco-"Marryins Money!


1t is not often that the production of
new play attracts attention from the
ambassadors OF foreign countries. vet
that is what is happening to the new
comedy. Marrying Money" which Gil
pert Miller will present at the Relasco
Theater this week. The play was writ
ten oy Washington Pezet, son of the
present Minister from the republic of
Peru to this government. Mr.. Pezet is
himself an attache to the Peruvian Ie-
CATION and is also a graduate of Har-
ward. His comedy, Marrying Money"
is his second play, and its production
has attracted international attention, so
tar as the South American republic is
concerned. To show his son that he is
taking proper interest in the play, Minis
ter Pezet and his suite went to Syracuse
for the opening performance several
weeks ago. Furthermore Minister Pezet
and his suite accompanied the Marry
ing Money company for one week, trav-
cling as guests of the MANAGEMENT in

disposal Of the principal players
Marrying Money" is asmodern Amer
ican comedy, with the scenes laid in a
summer resort in Maine. The story con-
Germs the efforts of two supposedly
interests and their fortunes by a matri
monial alliance. The daughter of a
wealthy father. who has ust been ruined
by unfortunate stock speculations, eIopes
with the penniless son of another aristo-
cratic father. Each supposes the other
to be enormously wealthy, and the COM
plications that ensue when the DECEPTION
is discovered may be imagined How
ever, by that time the young people dis
cover that they really love each other
anyhow. and so the play ends happily,
with the young husband putting his
shoulder to the wheel and the bride de-
Gliding that love in a cottage with bread
and cheese and kisses is better than
matrimony in a palace with all the
wealth of the Indies, yet without love.
Mr.. Pezet's comedy will be acted here
by a cast OF New York players headed
by William Roselle, VIII Deming, and
Nan Campbell

Whip Behind!

A good story of Sir Francis BERTHE is
told by French diplomatist, who set
out to pay call at the British EN-
bassy in Paris.
AS he drove up to the door he was
Mortified to see Sir Francis running
down the street as hard as he could
go. shouting and frantically waving an
umbrella.
Fearing that there had been an an
archist outrage or something equally
dreadful, the diplomatist prepared to
join in the chase; but the explanation
of Sir Francis excitement was quite
simple and not at all murderous.
Lady BERTHE had just set out for a
drive. After she left, Sir Francis had
noticed one or two street arabs"
clinging to the back of the carriage
and had promptly started off in pur-
suit with the idea of dislodging them
from their dangerous position.

still more went to sleep. At last, on

Artificial Wood.

French experinenters at work In
the city Of Lyons have Just produced
an artificial wood, according to the
American consul at tina. place. The
new product has been found after
years of study and practical expert

given eminently satisfactory results.
The process consists in transforming
straw into solid material having the
resistance of oak The straw, after
being cut into small pieces, is reduced
to s. paste by boiling Certain chemi-
calls are then added. When the paste
has been reduced to a homogeneous
mass it is put into presses, and planKs,
beams. laths and holdings of all sizes
are readily made. This new material
can be sawed like natural wood AS
