Veteran Painter Has
Much Work Mapped
Out for the Future

Actors and play.writers are natural
ally associated with curtain calls in
the mind Of the public.
But there was painter once who
responded to curtain call. And that
painter is George Upp, who for the
past two months has been living and
painting and exhibiting his work in
,Keokuk.
Many years ago when such stars of
the stage as Edwin Booth and Edwin
Forrest and Alice Nelson were in
the prime, of their popularity, MI.
Upp painted curtain and the scenery
property Of McVicker's theatre in
Chicago, then one of the country's
most widely known theatres.
The curtain was Of the city of Paris,
and was one of the best pieces Of work
George Upp considers he has ever done
In that line. Well, on the first night
the city of Paris curtain was seen at
McVickers, Mr.. Upp had to respond
three times to curtain calls. But
those were in the good old days when
the theatre was much more serious
proposition than It is now.

ty-five wears in advance" said George
Upp recently, and he has passed the
SEVENTEEN milestone already But
he is as straight and active and works
as hard as he did fifteen years ago
and does not feel the effect, SO the
chances are that he will continue to
give his good pictures to the world
for as long a time as he has set.
Still Works Hard.
Mr.. Upp hiss painted about two
thousand pictures and about five times
as many sketches, and many of the
latter are better than some Of the al
legged works of art put out today.
And still he works necessarily and
1t is his great ambition to paint
something that will live forever. He
don't know what this will be yet and
the idea has not taken definite shape
i'm his head, but in the next twenty-five
years he hopes that in something he
paints there will be the quality that
will make 1t; a treasure in the world
through the years to come.
Mr.. Upp paints all day long and IN
the evening models frames in putty.
Since he has been in Keokuk he has
done a great deal of work. His por'

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-Twenty-five
persons were drowned in a panic
aboard the British steamer Barulos
in the Mediterranean when a, Turkish
submarine fired shot across the
Barluos' bows on October 8, Mrs.
Eleanor Franklin Egan, magazine
writer, declared today on her return
from Europe.
When the Barulos, which sailed from
Piraeus for Alexandria with two hun
bred passengers, was five hours south
of Crete. she picked up three life
boats from the summarized British
steamship Sailor Prince, Mrs. Egan,
who was a passenger of the Barulos,
said.
A few minutes later, big Turkish
submarine hove in sight and fired a
shot with peremptory order for the
Barulos to halt. The passengers rush
ed for the life boats.
Women, unable to reach the boats,
jumped into the sea. Some threw their
babies into the water.
Mrs. Esan said she escaped death
because she was a good swimmer.

Longfellow was a personal friend as

that day. He also knew many OF the

Grafton and once had his portrait
sketched by Alice Nelson, the great
Swedish singer.
These he met while he was theatre
artist at Mcvickers Mr. Upp intro
duced several new features into the
scene painting art at that time that
are still being used throughout the
country
Mr.. Upp recalls some interesting ex-
periences with the late Robert Bur-
dette. for many years the editor Of
the Burlington Hawk-Eye, and one Of
the country's best known humorists.
The painter first met him in Carthage,
ILL.,. where he had gone to paint the
portraits Of the faculty OF Carthage
college.
Burdette had gone to Carthage to
deliver lecture on "Milk"-the only
way the subject came in was when the
humorist took a drink out of glass
OF milk on the table before he started
his speecfl-and was given into the
care Of Upp to be entertained until
the evening of the lecture.
It was at this time that Burdette
told Upp Of the new definition OF a
bore that he had Just thought of and
which he was going to send out with
his next batch of stuff. This dehni-
ton, that bore is one who talks
about his troubles when you want to
talk about yours, has been born over
again in the comic pages with automo-
biles and children and a dozen other
things substituted for troubles, and it
always gets by with the comic editor
and the public.
| Burdette delivered that classic gem,
The Rise and Fall Of the Mustache,'
for the first time In Keokuk, and It
was Ups good fortune to be pres
ent. He was in Keokuk at the tina,
painting portraits. Burdette later
wrote about how he came to deliver
the address. He said that he was
anxious to go on the platform as a
speaker but couldn't get up the nerve.
His wife finally bolstered him up and
when he refu sed to make his first pub
lie appearance in Burlington, he
came to Keokuk and scored a knock
out. After that he delivered the ad-
dress all over the country.

erculosis have supplied the various
local organizations conducting sales
of seals with complete information as
to how the various methods should
be used, and it is hoped that Iowa,
instead of being twenty-eighth place
among the states, as it was last year,
will this year come up into the front
rank in this very important work, as
it does in so many of the material
and intellectual achievements.
Important Results Expected.
An intelligent and sympathetic re
spouse to the appeal to purchase and
use the seals will have important re-
suits to the state of Iowa. Local or

duct more preventive and curative

ganized by leading professional and
lay people all over the state, will be

necessary work along the lines of or
ganization, education, legislation and
agitation. Under the latter head, for
instance, agitation will be conducted

cases Of tuberculosis, and so prevent
them from remaining a menace to the
healthy.
The appeal is made not only for the
purchase Of the seals, but what is
perhaps equally important, their use,
There are various ways in which
these may be used by firms and indi
viduals, and the appearance of the
seals on the mail OF the purchasers
displays a public spiritedness and
serves to give wide currency to the
sentiment behind the seals.
The people are doing this in many
other states, why not in Iowa?
