Although reports circulated yester-

personal popularity make it necessary
to run extra exhibitions, hence the

, performance every detail of which
I has been given the most careful
thought and consideration. In the
case of @The Red Widow" the musical
pay which comes to the Illinois New
Years eve the casting was left en-
tireIy to Messrs Wolf and Pollock,
who also directed the staging of the
piece. The result is said to be one
of the best and most evenly balanced
companies that has ever been sent on
tour Miss Beatrice Doan, who sings
the title role, has been identified with
many of the best productions made in
this country. She is an actress as
well as a prima donna and makes of
her part a gem of the purest ray.
Cliff Heckinger will be seen as the
wealthy corset manufacturer who be-
comes entangled with the Russian
secret police. He has much clever
work to his credit, but is likely best
remembered on account of his associa-
ton with THE Merry Wluow" with
which he was seen for many years.
All of the other principals are people
well and favorably known in the
dramatic profession. YIeZ Dean has
been with most of the prominent
stars, but her present part is said to
be better suited to her than any in
which she has yet been seen. Georgia
lie Mae, who is the ingenue with THE
Red Widow" was one OF the famous
Three Twins" Yama Girls. She was,
however. in vaudeville playing in the
big b. F Keith houses when secured
for her present role. William Prnette,
Jr., another of the all star Red Wild
ow'' cast, comes of an old theatrical
family His father, William Pruette,
Sr., is even today considered the best
baritone TO be found for musical COM
edy. His son is a clean cut young
chap and as clever juvenile as could
be found The other principals are
Walter Paschal, Fred Hoadley. Joseph
Carter and Leonard Delmore, all play
ers who have earned their laurels and
are entitled TO the best their calling
has TO offer. THE Red Widow chorus
is one of it's features.

cred from his bodily injury. Always

LIVE FOREVER IN MEMORY
Loved Dead Who Have Gone Before
May Still Speak to Us With
Compelling Voices.

Who has not known old men and
women, bent by the storms of life,
bearing on their foreheads the scars
of bereavement? They have lowered
into the tomb with the sons and daugh-
tiers they loved the most precious
thing they had on earth. But there
was SO much kindness in their eyes
and so much peace in their faces, that
we are won, we know not how. And
before the peace which their loved
dead have shed about their heads, we
bow as low as the hills bow before
Mont Blanc. For you, young men and
women, who perhaps have lost father
or mother, no precept, no book, no
example. however great it may be,
can do as much as their momory at
the bottom of your heart. if you keep
it sacred. They are here no longer to
follow you, to console you. to point
out the way for You, nor to rebuke you
by raising their voices against your
errors; but in the silence their mem.
DRY speaks to your hearts, and If you
are responsive it will be seen that this
compelling voice of absent loved ones
is able to accomplish more with you
than ever their direct advice and their
material presence was able to effect
