ACTORS FAIR CLOSES
in AN ELK TINGE"
Julian and B. P. o. E. Night Conn.,
bine to Give Eddie Cor
bett His Chance.

With a scamper and a scurry the White
Rats folded up their tents and went
back into their holes last night-or this
morning. simultaneously the Actors
Fair that has been going on in the 46th
st. clubhouse for eight days came TO an
end
All of the big Rats swore that the jolli-
fcations last evening were the merriest
yet. and up to midnight it was undoubt-
eddy true. There will be no telling what
happened after that until about o'clock
this evening. when some of those who
were there get up for the day. II was
Elks' Club night. and added attractions
were George NJ Cohan. Julian Eltinge
and Victor Moore.
The sole casualty of the evening was a
Joke by Eddie Corbett. AS stated, 1t was
Elks' Club night, and Julian Eltinge-but
let him tell it himself.
1--WE have Eltinge," said Mr.. Corbett.
"And there are so many Elks within that
the place may also be said to have an Elk
tinge" applause and laughter by friends
Of Mr. Corbett)
George NJ. Cohan was guided from
booth to booth and sideshow to sideshow
by half a dozen OF the more skilled hold
up girls. which is one reason why last
night marked the close OF the fair. They
had to close-for Mr.. Cohan bought nearly
everything.
At midnight II was estimated that about
ten thousand persons had walked into
the Rat traps during the week. but there
were no figures available TO tell how
they got out. Those who have any
doubt. however, are invited to spend a
few minutes at the next fair. If It re-
sSmbles the one just concluded they will
spend other things than minutes

II is agreed that the investigations OF

tested that II Mellen end some New Ha-
ven directors were called as witnesses
they would receive immunity from crlmi-
nal prosecution. which he Intended to
bring about as soon as the dissolution
proceedings were out Of the way.
Senator Norris tells different story.
He declares that Mr.. McReynolds told
him no criminal proceedings were con-
templated, and that when he learned the
Attorney General did not intend to take
that course he saw no reason why Mellen
should not go on the stand and lay bare
the financial history Of the New Haven.
Senator Norris is firm as to his state
ments regarding his conversation with
Mr.. McReynolds.
Although President Wilson has suc-

comes after a woman's children are
grown and have left the parent nest,
and the once busy mother feels the
need of some dehnite outlet for her
energy. Such is the story Of Mrs.
Clarence Rice, who after she was
grandmother very young grand
mother, to be sure became a success
full designer and maker of fsience.
Mrs. Rice had married early, and as
the wife Of busy physician she had
her hands full with the making Of a
home, with her social duties and with
active work in various philanthropies.
When her children we're married and
launched in life she deliberately looked
about to find some outlet for the strong
creative impulses she had always felt.
"Of course, thought seriously Of
household decoration said Mrs. Rice,
telling the story Of her quest. but de-
cided against it as a profession.
The reason she repeated. "A
purely selfish one-my love Of the
country and out Of doors. House
decoration would keep me much in the
city, constantly in shops, and well,
[ have had enough Of both to last my
lifetime. Our country home has been
for several years the real centre Of
our family life, and wanted some
work I could carry on there" The
making OF pottery eventually enlisted
Mrs. Rices attention after tentative
study of several other crafts. Nor
did she 90 into this unprepared Mrs.
Rico set herself to a thorough study
OF clays and glazcs. But first she
spent summer studying design and
refreshing herself with serious work
in color and under a we'll known artist.
Then. building her kilns and studios
al the foot OF the lovely Italian gar
dcns OF her home in Bedford Hills,
she entered upon the exacting work
OF experimentation.
There were many failures and dis
ccuragements." said Mrs. Rice, "and
shall probably never be entirely sat
isfcd with the result But that is the
JOY OF creative work, isn't it, always
TO have a goal further on?'
About her successes Mrs. Rice is
very modest But the fact that one
Of her smaller. vases has been valued
by an expert at $1,000 and that one Of
her Persian blue jars has been placed
side by side with a priceless antique
