Fanny Heddens mind was full of
bitter thoughts as she walked uptown
this afternoon of early spring. She
felt as if life lay before her, a nar-
row, sandy road that led no where ex-
cept over treeless plains. She told her
self that she was fit for nothing ex-
cept the kind Of work she was doing
now, and that this meant pity or pat
ronage from people no better than her
self.
When she was tired Of walking she

Broadway stations, then, leaving the

afternoon when she seated herself on
one Of the benches on the edge of the
walk and gazed sadly over the river.
She actually wished that she was dead.

Nile. Anna PavlOwa, the Russian
dancer, who was seen here once before
this winter at a benefit performance,
has started a four weeks season with
her splendid company at the Century
opera house. There is nothing like the
Pavlowa performance anywhere else in
the world. We get snatChes Of it at
the opera and perhaps a taste or two
once in a while in a musical comedy.
But the full intOXicatiOn of the dance
is not to be obtained anywhere else.
About her, PavlOwa has gathered a
notable cOterie, which includes Ivan
Klustine, Alexander Volinine, the classic
dancer; Stephanie PlaskOvietzka and
PavlOwa's repertoire New York will see
many entirely new ballets.
An entirely new form Of burlesque
show was presented at the Columbia
theater in Barney Gerard's two act
satire called "FOllies of the Day"
What does the public want?" is the
question that is raised at the beginning
OF the performance, and the solution is
worked out throughout the two acts by
prototypes of David Belasco, George NJ
Conan. Oscar Hammerstein and Al
Reeves.
This unique idea provides oppOrtuni-
ties for burlesQuing drama, farce
comedy, grand opera and burlesqUe.
The representations Of the four cele-
brated impressariOs are presented by
Jack McSorley as Belasco, Billy Wal
dron as HammeTstein, E D. Sedan as
Conan and John B, Williams as Al
Reeves.
Sam Sidman, the principal comedian
Of the company, appears as David War

tributed by Elsa May, Anna Propp.

others.

There was cynical smile on his face,

1t is this. Be kind to me for five

She nodded, but did not look at him

He laid his hand on hers. but she
snatched her fingers from his grasp.
So violent was. the action that a young
man, crossing the road back Of the
bench, noticed the movement and
stopped in amazement, then, walking
a few PAGES away, he stopped again
and stood in the shelter Of a tree.
watching the man whose features he
could not discern, fOrN CrandalPs hat
was pulled down over his eyes. FaRny's
face, still turned TO the west, shone
family in the falling light.
Fanny Hedden mOistened her dry
lips. i have nothing to say" she NUT

She looked at CrandalL. and he
smiled sadly, and with seeming tender
ness.

"Cruel as It is. But you will surely
tell me what work you are doing now
whether You are happy or not?'
The dark memories which had
thrOnged the girls brain during his
pleading were suddenly pierced BY the
swift recollection OF her present Do
sitiOn. She threw back her head and
spoke defiantly, bitterly.
Yes" she exclaimed. Il will tell

cept old Peter, the gardner. and father
Fisher.
Then the Franco-Prussian war be-
gins. In terror Of what may befalI the
nuns, their father confessor comes to
them with news Of the advancing Prus-
slams and bids them desert the convent.
Marketable, in mOmentary fit of re-
belliOn against the stern rule of the
mother superior, has hidden in the loft
above the refectory and stays behind.
To the convent comes a squad OF
Prussian soldiers, the first one an inno-
cent young man, whom Marie-Odile
takes to he St. Michael, since he is a
soldier. much in bearing like the paint
ing of the militant saint on the con-
vent wall. The commander OF the squad
is PFussian trooper, seasoned in love
as well as war. He discusses with
corporal Meissner the fact that the
young soldier has never been in love
and openly delights in the opportunity
presented by the presence Of the young
novice alone.
Marie-Odile knows nothing Of men,
and she makes love to this shy young
soldier like a pagan. She bids him
stay longer than the half hour allotted
for his purpose by sergeant Beck to
corporal Meissner-and the soldier
stays. After an interval of a year, we
see Marie-Odile, still living alone in the
convent, with only old Peter to help
her keep the place and possessed of
the physical signs of what she calls "a
miracle"
The sisters return and in her out
ragged sense of virtue the mother SUI
perior is about to drive Marie-Odile
from the convent, when something hap
pens with a halo around the young
head that would seem to indi-
cate a change of heart on the part of
the mother superior. and a stay OF sen
tence for Marie-Odile. But of this we
are not at all sure.

TO the HONORABLE SONS OF REST


say, you will be somewhat sur
prised to hear that l have enter

year. You see those who come
in at the eleventh hour get the
same as those who labored full
day. My theme is: Behold.
old things have passed away and
all things are now new" This
is now the second dispensation.
Nearly two thousand years ago
the doctrine of Christ and the
Apostles absorbed the doctrine
of Moses. creating new dispen-
sation. People concluded that
they could not keep the Mosaical
law. Christ then came to re-
lease the distressed, but did not
destroy the law; but He told
them He came to fulfill the law
and make it of more effect.
Now. they claim it is easier to
hang. sit in electric chairs, work
in prisons and State farms, and
sleep in iron cages than keep
the Mosaic law. 1t is just as
dangerous now for a minister to
preach and put into practice the
society and doctrine that Jesus
taught as it was then. Jesus
and the Apostles, under adverse
circumstances. were allowed to
preach their doctrine, but when
they went to put it into practice
all suffered marterdom except
John. The same would happen
now. | have due respect for the
of the different Church
organizations, but the time is
here that they are afraid to
preach the gospel in it's highest
ideals. They must preach like
Constantine. Half christianity
and half paganism make it pos
sible that all will be sacred
regardless of what they do.
