"EVERYWOMAN"

It would seem. a difficult task to devise a theatrical and musical per- formance to please all classes of people; the hardened theatre-goer, the tired business sman, the young girl who must not be shocked and whose amusement food must be wholesome and palatable; the man of much learning and the man who cannot read and write; the person who wants light and color and the glifft of rounded limbs, and the staid individual who seeks instruction and inspiration in his entertainment. :. Perhaps the man who has come nearest to satisfying all these varied phases of humanity was Walter Browne, the lamented author of the dramatic spectacle, "Everywoman",
 which will be disclosed by Henry w. Sava at the Elks theatre soon.
 MT. Browne was an actor and singer and had performed in all classes of entertainments in all parts of the world. He had been an opera singer in London where he was a member of the original cast of Gill bert & Sullivan's Patience. Ho had been a concert singer in South Africa, where he toured in musical monologues, speaking and singing in Dutch and English. He had sung in grand opera. ia Rio Janiro and other capitals of South America, and in India he had played leading comedy roles before Eastern potent ates. In New York he sang and played in several productions and then, believing that he possessed gifts which would meet with richer rewards as a writer he became an editor and wrote plays. He wrote to suit popular taste. Several of his plays were successful but he set no store by them as he had conceived "Everywoman" and it's construction was a matter of years. He drew upon his remarkable experiences, and any one familiar with the build- ing of plays must admire the extra ordinary skill with which he welded together the component parts. It accomplished a wonderful thing in New York. It brought back the gallery to the theatre. For many years that portion of the New York

"THE LITTLE MILLIONAIRE"
 Geo. M. Cohan's musical farce, "The Little Millionaire" last seasons annual offering at the Conan theatre New York come to the Elks theatre for one night only, January IA. "The Little Millionaire" is said to be a typical Cohan show, full of whirl- wind action, alluring dances, melo- dies that finger in the memory, a splendid cast and e picked Broadway chours; we are told also that there is story of real interest-it is as follows; Robert Spooner, son Of a millionaire father, who falls in love with Goldie Grey, of the Zig Tag Folly Co. chorus. The young people have been introduced by Bill Costigan, a wine agent who is not avert to sampling his own goods. Costigan, whose wife has divorced him because he only came home three nights in five years, is paying $1 ,000 month alimony, and, fear ing that his young friend Spoonel may meet with a like fate if allowed ito marry, devotes most of his time to breaking up the match, and, in'
 cidentally to keeping the audience in continuous bursts of laughter. or course everything comes out right just before the fall of the final curtain. The lovers are united, Costigan marries his ex-wife to save alimony, and his father announces his engagement to the aunt ot the prety chours girl just as the Conan Chorus bring the performance to an end. <
 Geo, M. Conan has given the theatre-going public many striking examples of his skill as coustruc- tor of musical plays, but in this, his latest effort, it is said he has eclipsed all of his former successes.

.RINE FEATHERSy

At the Elks theatre Friday night one night only, H. H. Frazee will present for the first time here Eugene Walters latest and most famous play, Fine Feathers than which no drama in recent years has created a more profound impression among theatre-goe-s of the biggest cities in this country.
 "Fine Feathers" is described as a drama of today. It is said to deal with problems that confront the average American household and is peopled with characters familiar to every man and woman who goes to the theatre. Dealing with the in- creased cost and higher standard of living, and their effect on the Amer ican home, it also diagnosis human life in g relentless, searching way with it's lights and shadows, it's ' humor and it's serious aspects.
 Touching upon the teltacles of the ssbig interests Fine Feathers" shows how the reach into the Amer ican family and effect the mans method of industrial attack. There is an absence of hero, heroine and villain. The play deals with ordi- nary human beings, who are not in- volved in love story in the ordi- nary sense of the word, yet display the truest affection of all-the love of a husband and wife that has to fight selfishness and vanity as we'll as the romantic ambitions which come into all lives.
 MT. Walter has passed his play on modern conditions in the home, and in the world of business; he has endeevored to show the double standards of morals existing in 2 modern commerce, which condone sharp practice in the office but would not be tolerated in the draw ing-room.
 Briefly, the story of "Fine Feath- < OIo Ao IA0V OA yONA6 WA~S e-'AAA5 humbly on her husbands's meagre salary, who falls under the influ- once of better dress and better liv- ing. Vexed at the pretty econ-alies their income demands, and blinded to the principles of business, she urges her husband to accept a proposition made by an old school friend (now grown into a man rich in the world of commerce) to lend his services to 8 dishonest deal, which will turn a modest fortune his way. The wife is innocent of any wrongdoing in this case, as she is firmly convinced that the business proposed is above reproach.
 The husband, too weak to fight against his wife's rebellion, finally , decides to put his hand in the fin ancial grab-bag and sells his ideals for a mess of pottage.

carlyle's caustic Tongue.

A delightful Carlyle story is told in
connection with the painting of the
portrait of Carlyle by Sir John Mil
lais The portrait was painted in 1877
at the home of Millais. Carlyle and
his niece, who accompanied him. were
both impressed with the magnifcence
of the furnishings and the objects OF
art with which it was filed
And does all this-er-come from a
paint pot?" queried the niece. The
artist replied in the affirmative. Then
this characteristic comment came from
Carlyle:
''Ah, well, it shows what number
of fools there are in the world!''
Only three sittings were given. and
the picture is classed as unfinished. "
Maybe that remark is the reason why
it was never completed.

Cranky Vessels.

Even the best designers never know
how their ships will turn out when
completed. They may break all records
for speed. or they may be so slow as to
be entirely useless-a mere waste of
money. Years ago two mud barges
were built at San Francisco. exactly
alike. constructed from one design.
One of them was quite commonplace.
but the other raced every barge in the
bay and beat them all. raced every
yacht on the Pacific coast and beat
them. She was so fast that yachts
were built on her lines, but turned out
mere barges for sloth. Nobody could
see how this craft differed from her
crawling sisters or from the yachts.
In 1851 the America went to Cowes.
England, and raced for prize cup.
She won that trophy. and then an Eng
lishman bought her and improved her
hull, stiffening it with knees through
out. After that she lost every race.
