Must Give Welcome.

| America is not and must not become
like some caste-cursed lands, where
every ladder-climber kisses the heels
of him above and kicks the face OF him
below him. America is what it is OF
good because of it's efforts to discover
and call forth the very best in every
stranger come within our gates for
refuge, shelter, home. Our hereditary
patriotic societies are feeling their
chief reason for existence should be
that of standing committees or recep-
ton and welcome to all abiding under
our roOftree.
Accordingly at this Washington-Lin
coin celebration the official represen-
tatives of each national or radical
body will be assigned a box for their
occupancy in national attire, the box
to be decorated by them with their col
ors and emblems, and their fellow
countrymen providing in the program
some typical exercise expressive of
their national or patriotic custom.
After prayer a Goddess of Liberty
will sign America" the governor will
interpret the occasion, and the school
children will give a flag drill. The
Scotch, Hibernian, Welsh, Swedish
Greek, Italian, Japanese and German
societies will present patriotic drills
sented entitled 1.-The Spirit of 1914" the
of Liberty being supported by
some representative of every nation
atty in native dress. All will then
join in saluting the Flag with national
anthem THE Star Spangled Banner"

wreck-strewn season of dramatic par
adoxes, when good shows have failed
and mediocre productions have scored
hits, one should be surprised ut moth
ing. But it does give one a start
to see Chauncey Olcott, that staunch
booster for the Aud Sod, in an Amer
lean play. His latest production at
the Grand Opera House is about the
American Revolution. But its name
is "Shameen Dhu," Rida Johnson
Young wrote it, and it's scenes are laid
In Ireland SO Olcott's departure Is
not radical after all.
The play is about representative
of the Continental Congress who goes
to Ireland to solicit help for the Co
lonials and all the action deals with
George Washington's struggle against
the British. The piece is filled with
genuine humor and a lot of pretty
songs. Also there is a regulation love
story that ends as all love stories
should. Olcott as Dare O'Donnell is
the hero, and the heroine is Peggy
O'Dea, played by Miss Constance Mol
ineaux, brand new leading woman
who is having her first Broadway
chance. And she gets away with it.
Olcott found her down south some

Glad to See Blanche Ring.
The best that can be said for when

street is that Blanche Ring is brought |
back to Broadway. Miss Ring was a
long time gone and Broadway missed |
her. Now that she is back again, no
body is quibbling much because
When Claudia Smiles" is innocent OF |
plot and is filled with "reminiscences
of lot of musical things of the long :,
ago. 1t is a reminder that the road
show audiences are not such stick
lers for the new and the logical as are
the New York audiences.
All of the songs of the piece make
the audience think vaguely of some
thing they heard several seasons ago.
Also, when Claudia starts a song all
alone in the privacy of her boudoir, a
double chorus files out of her bed
chamber and takes up the refrain.
Critics always question things like
that but evidently audiences do not.
Anyway the action of when Claudia
Smiles" is laughable, the songs are
and then there's Miss
Ring.

fact that some years ago he paid

open, sewed him up and charged him
$4,000. Mr.. Van Vliet died as the
