care and complete rest could be
baniShed in a week, was all that
allied the Pope. The bronchial af-
fection spread yesterday, however,
and then it was admitted that the
PontiffS condition was serious.
AT 8 o'clock Wednesday after
noon, DrS. Marchia Fava and Am
arci gave out the following bulle-
tin: "The Pops condition grew
worse during the night. This was
due to the diffusion of the bron-
chitiS to the lower lobe of the left
lung.
Symptoms of heart weakness
became so threatening at 1O:3O
o'clock this morning that it was
believed the Pontiff's life was en-
dangered. AT l 80 p. m, the symp-
toms were slightly improved but
are still grave.

Pope Summons Mgr. Rosa.
Toward II o'clock the patient
rallied again after oxygen had
been administered. He was able
to speak to those gathered at his
bedside. He asked that MonSig-
nor Rosa, secretary of the conSiS-
torial congregation, be sent for.
MonSignor Rosa was an intimate
friend of the Pope since the lat
ter was bishop of Treviso. A mes
Senger was dispatched for him
and he was rushed to the Vati-
can in an automobile.
The Pope'S strength was slowly
diminishing. He asked that he be
left alone with MOnSignOr Rosa
and the doctors and the Pontiff'S
sister, who had been at his bed
side almost continuously since
the previous night, withdrew.
Then Came the End.
This last act of the Pope is con.
Sidered significant. In the even
of his death the Pope knew Mgr
Rosa would be secretary of the
cOnclave. 1t is believed that the
Pontiff gave Mgr. Rosa his fina
instructions and repoSed in hin

POPE Plus x DIED
EARLY THURSDAY MORN.
Dies With Prayer On Lips for
Peace in Europe.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-POpe PluS Il
died early this morning, his last
words a prayer that peace might
soon be restored to warning Eu-
rope. The news was given out in
this city about 2 o'clock, and was
announced in the churches, which
had been filled since the preced-
ing afternoon with throngS, who
silently prayed that his holiness
might be spared. Thousands wept
as the news Of the Pope'S death
reached St. Peters square, where
crowds had waited all day long,
anxiouSly awaiting news from
the Vatican.
Early in the evening the wait
ing masses had been cheered by
a bulletin, which stated that the
Pope had responded to the ad-
miniStration of Oxygen and that
his condition had vastly improv-
ed. Later, however, DR.. Marchia
Fava announced that the POpe'S
temperature had reached 103 and
that his pulse was weak and in
termittent. The doctors chief
fear at this time was that a Seiz-
ure of Suffocation would end the
POpe'S life. Throughout the night
his holiness fought valiently for
breath. No bulletins were issued,
but the waiting crowds outside
the Vatican were moved to new
hope as the hours went by, by
numberleSS reports that his hoi-
ness had rallied. This hope ami
mated all Rome, gaining strength
hourly until the news of the end
came.
bronchial Trouble Re-appeared
Fears for the Pope had held the
Catholics of the world since about
ten days ago, when the old brOn-
chial affection from which the
pOntiff had suffered much in
times past, reaSSerted itself. This
was aggravated to a considerable
extent by the deep grief and anx.

1.-THE LITTLE MILLIONAIRE

The following criticism of "The
Little Millionaire" which will appear
at the Colonial Friday, February 20,
was taken from the Dallas News:
The Little Millionaire" a George
NJ. 'Cohan drama with the Cohanesque
atmosphere and the Cohanesque We
locity, was offered TO a large and en-.
joyful audience at the Dallas Opera
House last night. Bert Leigh, a favor
lite on this circuit, had the principal
masculine lines in the piece, and Ha-
zele Burgess, entitled to be a favorite,
had most of the feminine Nesponsi-
bility. But Frank Phelps as the Little
Millionaire, William F. Scheller as the
secretary. and Eugene Phelps as
Spooner Pere, were prominent in the
picture and high lights, all of them.
Then there were Aleyn Marlyn, Clara
Athy and Dot Karroll, also worthy in
their undertakings. We liked to have
forgotten Edward Kerr, the patient
butler, not that he was an unnecessary
adjunct, but because the French maid
also forgot him and wed the secretary
and we wanted to feel about it like
the French maid felt.
Well, this show as Mr.. Leigh ad-
mitted when he responded to cur
tain call and accepted the nominal
ton this show is just to laugh
at. If there weE a serious line in II
it would be spurious. But in addition
to the laughing matter there was a
bright little chorus. not too geudy and
not too gay, dressed in outfits that
looked real fresh and tidy. The Choir
US choroused and the ballet balleted.
all in good order and quite pretty TO
hear and to see. Then FranF Phelps
and Miss Burgess did a dance turn
that was a terpsichorean torchlight.
and Messrs. Alderman, Shay Friedel
and Freyer renders a quartet that
was musical and fine all the way down
from tenor to bass.
Altogether The Little Millionaire
was a full-grown success, in its own
wa
