WHAT'S DOING IN THE THEATERS
BACK STAGE WITH LOUIS MANN

| expected to find Louis Mann
breathless and exhausted, for l was
ushered into his dressing room i'm
mediately after the intense scene in
which the curtain falls on the second
act of THE Bubble" 1t seemed i'm
possible that any man could simulate
such emotion as tore the heart of the
old delicatessen dealer when he dis
covered his dream of wealth dis
sipated and not find his vitality
sapped for the time.
But the actor met me with buoyant
smile that shone right through his
makeup and gripped my hand with
force that bespoke exuberant life and
energy, as well as a courteous well
come.
shall it be philology," he laughed,
'or history or suffrage or-what do
you wish me to talk about?"
These may come later" l re-
sponded. what l want to know now,
Mr.. Mann, is where did you get it
that wonderful accent of yours?"
That's easy. 1 am what you
might call mimetic I was born with
an adaptability to the languages and
have always found it easy to do a
dialect. I think 1 am able to give
voice to any dialect in Germany-or
France either, for that matter. So
you see it is comparatively easy to
speak on the particular language
prevalent in the locality whence came
Gustave Mueller.
And the type? No, 1 cannot say
that l have met a Gustave Mueller.
He is composite-that is, combina-
tion of several types, each of which
| have met in real life. For instance,
there was a German in my fathers
employ years ago, who, while the soul
of good nature, was extremely iras-
cible-the exact kind of irascibility
that l have pictured in the delicates-
sen dealer. Another employe of my
father, whom l knew quite we'll and
studied carefully, had the Gustave
Mueller faculty of passing very quick
ly from anger to good nature and vice
versa. Still others whom 1 have
known have lent themselves to this
character So you see that the man
himself is real even If composite.
What is more, he is growth.
That is to say he has developed very
strikingly during the life of The
Bubbles A play itself, you know
always grows, if 1t lives, for improve
ment in lines or in business con-
tinually suggest themselves to the
actor and are frequently embodied in
the play. One of the chief interests
in first night Is that the man who
sees it has an opportunity afterwards
of measuring the improvement which
experience succeeds in making on the
play. Gustave Mueller is not only a
composite type, but he has developed
to marked degree since he came into
being"

us it easy to make people laugh?"
1 asked.
Yes. Very easy, In fact too easy
sometimes, for as you may have OBJ
served the audience laughs in the
wrong place once in while But this
isn't due to ignorance or inattention,
as some imagine. 1t is a sort of
hysteria born in their very apprecia-
tion of the play
"And laughter in the audience often
prolongs a performance unduly or
causes one to strain his voice in an

"a Wonderful Adventure"
At the Strand.

In the Fox film, "A Wonderful
Adventure" shown this week at the
Strand Theater, William Farnum
wins new laurels. The dual role in
which he appears in this absorbingly
interesting story gives him an op-
portunity to display his histrionic
gifts in an entirely different char
acterization than heretofore. Virility,
rather than versatility, has been
Farnum's forte In the majority of the
photo dramas written for him, but
In "A Wonderful Adventure" the
contrast between two men, one a
moral weakling who goes down to
his doom. and the other a sound
principled, honorable fellow who is
not led astray either by woman's vile,
or the glitter of wealth and power, is
brought out with splendid effective
ness. AS the former personality, Will
liam Demarest, the gradual deca-
dence, physical and spiritual, of q
man in the prime 70 health and
prosperity is simulated with a power
that make the play an object lesson
of gripping interest. As Martin
Stanley, the man, poor in purse, but
rich in spirit and strength of char
acter, William Farnum is a figure
that compels admiration.
Not less effective than the Farnum
Interpretation of the contrasting roles
is the clever mechanism of the pic
ture itself. 1t is little less than witch
work to see depicted on the screen
the projections of what appears to
be two separate entities, alike, yet
unlike; exhorting each other, and
carrying out with entire consistency
the widely divergent demands of the
two roles, and yet to realize that the
two characterizations are by one and
the same man.
An excellent support is given the
leading man by Mary Martin, as the
wife. and Dorothy Green, as Mazora,
the mystic.

The Two Notable stars to BE Seen
simultaneously in This Country I'm
der One Management.
Before 1915 has ended the Universal
Film Company will present two of its
foremost stars on the screen simulta-
neously in the principal cities Of this
country.
It is rare, indeed, that any one
direction has been privileged to offer
at one time two such formidable at
fractions as Sarah Bernhardt AMI
Anna Pavlowa. Not even the late
Henry E. Abbey. in his halcyon days,
ever undertook to present two world
celebrities in the same season.
The two colossal film offerings fea-
turing the divine Sarah and the il
lustrious Pavlowa will not only be
seen in New York simultaneously,
but the officials of the Universal Film
Corporation are planning to have the
screen debut of Pavlowa take place
not only in several great American
cities on the same date, but in a
half dozen European capitals as well.
The PaVlowa production of "The
Dumb Girl of Portici' is completed,
but as a courtesy TO its foremost star,
the Universal Film Company decided
not to present the photo-spectacle
until Pavlowa's season at the LeXing-
ton Opera House has been termi-
mated

Unusually Good Bill
At Loew's.

The bill put on at Loew's Theater
last night is one of the best of the
season for variety interest and gen.

in a responsive mood and spontaneous
in applaud for whatever was pleasing.
Dunn and Stevens were entertaining
in their limitations of a hypnotic sub
ject who reproduces barnyard sounds
and songs of birds. Dave Roth, with
his piano and cigar-box violin, re-
ceived big applause until it was made
clear that he could not respond.
Barnes and Robinson gave a song
part that contained much repetition
a bout az it wasn't for you' and 'if it
wasn't for me-" The Kullevore Bros.
did clever and remarkable acrobatic
work with grace and ease.
The one-act play of the evening was
untitled "The Secret" and had to do
with the affairs of couple who were
irving to write drama, and, Incl
dentally, getting into trouble that we'll
nigh led to separation. Golden and
Keating made fun by their buriesque
work The feature of the bill is Con-

other pieces were exhibited. On the
screen was stated how many lives Mr..
Conroy had saved, and various medals
receiyed by him were shown. Mr..

60 TO THE POLLS TUESDAY.

In this, our last issue before cleo
ton, we wish to again urge oul
voters to go to the polls on Tues
day next and vote against the pro.
posed Constitutional Convention
We know that you are opposed to
the Convention, and that if you
vote your vote will be against it !,
and we urge you to give up bust
ness for few minutes and go to the
polls. A Convention held at this
time, will in our opinion, be purely
political in nature; it will be test
Of strength and a battle royal be.
tween the various candidates fol-
various state offices, and the inter.
ests of the people will be neglected
in the political turmoil and excite
ment. We know that our present
Constitution may be defective, that
we may need a new one, but we
doubt if Constitution written dur
ing the heat and excitement of a
state campaign will be an improve
ment.
Every argument in favor of hold
ing Convention at this time could
have been made with equal truth
and with equal force in 1914, but
when Hon. Amade Tete of Asump-
ton, introduced a bill i'm the House
OF Representatives in 1914, propos-
ing Constitutional Convention to
be held during that year, the State
Administration did not lift its voice
in its support, and the bill hardly
got out of the committee. But now,
for some reason, the administration
finds that new Constitution is alb
solutely necessary for the welfare of
the State. If it is necessary, then
why don't some one, some where,
rise up and point out the necessity.
They say we need more revenue and
they propose to raise it without in
creasing taxation, but do no tell us
how.
They say they will equalize assess
ments, but keep the manner of do
ing 80 State secret. We hope that
the people Of the State will not be
fooled by any such rot, and that
next Wednesday will see the pro-
posed Convention a thing of the
past and as dead as the dead
past.

OLIVER OIL COMPANY, SHREVEPORT.

W. H. Byram and A. D. Morris, spec
ial representatives of the Oliver Oil Co.
OF Shreveport, La, are in Natchez, ant
are registered at the Natchez Hotel. The,
will remain here for the next ten days OF
two weeks.
Coming as they do, direct from thu
great Red River field, where 200 produc
ing wells have recently been brought in
they give much valuable and interesting
information on the development worh
now in progress.
The Oliver Company has AZ acres d.
rectly in the heart Of the producing field
and where its wells are being drilled il
only short distance from the two gush.
ers just brought in by the Gulf Refining
Company and the Producers Oil Co. The
output of these wells is 1850 and 5000
gallons. They are situated just across the
river from the Oliver Oil Co. g holdings.
At present the wells of the Oliver Co.
are at the following depths, 2O75, 2O45
234l. A strike is possible at 24OO feet,
as this is the depth at which other pro-
ducing wells have been brought in.
Recently John T. Fuller, consulting en-
gineer and State mineralogist of Arkan-
sas, inspected the property Of the Oliver
Company in the Red River field and re-
ported that he was greatly impressed
with the methods of the company in con-
Quoting the operations and the efficient
business management. He stated i'm his
official report that he had found the Of
ficers OF the company to be men Of marked
ability and mentioned the fact that the
AZ acres of the company in the proven
field are opposite the famous Gusher
Bend.
The Oliver Company has 55l acres in
the territory where wells are being drilled
and extensive holdings elsewhere. For
the reason that strike lie imminent-it
is thought that it will come in this month
interest has been concentrated to q
large degree on the proven field.
The representatives of the company
say that they will be in and out of Nat
chez. for the next ten days or two weeks
and will cheerfully furnish all desired in

Col. MAxVtlI's ESTATE.

The million dollar estate, as il is an
proximated, of the late Col. Friend L.
Maxwell of Mound, La, is to be equally
divided among his wife and five children,
namely as follows: Mrs. George Yerger
and Mrs. John Potts, Misses Routh, Doro.
thy and Alma Maxwell and Mrs. F. L.
Maxwell. This authentic information be-
came known through relatives of the de-
ceased who were in the city yesterday,
The Maxwell estate consists of about 25,-
600 acres of the finest Louisiana lands,
1000 OF which are in cultivation, stocks
and other industries, which are conserya-
lively estimated to make up the million
dollar estate.
The Maxwell company will proceed a.
heretofore in the transaction of all plan
tation and business affairs and the large
plantation interests will continue to be
operated ON the modern and up-to-date
methods just the same as while Col.
Maxwell was alive.
Mr.. George Yerger, q member of the
firm, was in the city yesterday looking
into details regarding the winding up of
the affairs of the insurance aud other
matters in connection with the estate.
The legal notice and general legal in
formation concerning the affairs of the
Maxwell estate win of course be made
formally known in the usual manner in
the North Louisiana records where the
will will be admitted to probate, but the
general news Of the matter is fully out

stitution and their work not submitted
to the people for adoption or rejection,
yet no man is 30 bold as to advocate such
a principle, it being fragrant and open
violation of the fundamental laws of a
republican form of government. Strange
to say, however, that in this year of grace,
1915, the original Sundberry bill carried
with it provision that the convention
should make Constitution and the in
struments thus made should not be SUBJ
mitted to the people for their adoption or
rejection. Again, as showing the spirit
permeating the reasons leading up to the
call. we find that each delegate is requir-
ed to take an oath to observe the terms
OF Act 80. No delegate representing the
sovereignty of the people should be sub
mitted to such and indignity; it is not go
much an affront to him, but to the eIec-
torate sending him to represent them.
1t isknown that an alliance is on be-
tween the administration and the organi-
zation and this alone is good and sufficient
cause to make us pause and think well
before approving call for Constitution
al Convention, emanating under such
conditions. The mere fact that an alliance
OF any nature, irrespective of its causes
or extent, evidences most dangerous pol
itical conditions and should not be ap-
proved and sanctioned by the liberty
loving people Of this state. For these rea-
sons and many others too numerous to
mention in this statement, l shall cast
my vote against the holding of Consti-
tutional Convention under the terms of
Act SO of 1915.
