THEATRICAL NOTES

That Honey Boy" Evans knows how to stage a good minstrel show has been demonstrated during the past six years that he has annually given new offering in th.s field. The announcement that the George Evans Honey Boy Minstre,s will hold forth at the Jefferson in January, in what is promised to be an all new pro- duction in every detail, will be of interest to lovers of this time -honored style of American entertainment.
 If you have a laugh in your system, prepare to deliver it to Raymond Hitch cock, who is coming to the Jefferson shortly. At this popular playhouse the one and only national cut-up' will be presented by Conan and Harris in new musical fcomedy entitled "The Beauty Shop" This piece Is said to be the best thing Raymond Hitchcock has appeared in for several seasons and has just closed long and very successful run at the Astor theatre, Broadway, New York
 Americas greatest success, dear to mill Hons the country Ter, comes to the Jef- ferson in January, referring, of course, to Denman Thompson's famous idyl of New England, 'The Old Homestead l" This celebrated drama of New England rural life is now in it's twenty-ninth year of uninterrupted success. Looking back upon the years that have intervened since The Old Homestead" was first produced at the Boston theatre in April, 1885, it seems incredible that this same, simple, domestic drama, dealing as 1t does with scenes and incidents which are in no way remarkable in themselves. should in this theatrical season of 19l4-15 be still one of the best drawing cards in the theatrical world. Millions of people have witnessed it during the past 27 years and still the theatregoing public has not yet tired of dear Uncle Josh.

 Today is from the pen of that mas ter playwright, George Broadhurst and Abraham Schooner. It deals with the con- genial phases of mankind: Love, passion, fear hatred, self-sacrifice and loyalty are all blended in an endeavor to portray a woman's passion for gaudy tinsel and a mad desire to gratify her social ambitions tempt her to betray the trust reposed in her by an unforgiving husband.
 In an instant she Is dashed to the rocks of destruction. The distracted hus- band, unable to save her with entreaties, destroys her. The Announcement is cleo tribal, the audience at the crisis being wrought to a pitch of speeches. cxpec- tancy and quickening pulse. Today Is not a white slave play, or of the under world drama, nor Is a drama of disease. unless 1t is that mental disease that af- fiicts some unfortunates the mania for clothes. no matter the cost.

She also protects Helen from a drunken miner, and learns of the use her uncle has made of the girl The plot is wrapped in mystery at this point but finally unrayels and works out right.

TELEPATHY
H. AoDINGToN BRUCE


Several correspondents nave ask
ed me to make clear what Is meant
by the term "telepathy.' Others
write TO inquire how telepathy
works"
Stated briefly. the term telepathy
Is the modern equivalent for the old
fashioned phrase, thought transfer
ence." II is used TO denote the
transmission of ideas from one mind
to another by some means other
than any of the ordinary. recognized
methods OF communication
Here, for example. Is a typical
instance OF telepathic communica-
ton, as recently reported TO me by
resident OF Minnesota:
81 dreamed one night OF my broth
er, who is a farmer. He was in a
field with hand-plough. and was
limping painfully. The dream was
so vivid I awoke-could not sleep
for some time-and on awaking in
the morning IL was the first thought
in my mind.

successful telepathic experiments, II
Is true that such experiments usually
fail
But for this there is an excellent
reason in the fact, indicated By all
the instances similar to that quoted

a matter OF conscious willing as a

SO that mere willing Is not sufi-

telepathy must rest mainly on spon-

May II Reach the Blessed
Haven 1t Seeks

Like the dove holding in its beak the
olive branch, is the peace ship of Henry
Ford, which is 10 carry its small party
of loyal. peace-loving souls from our
shores TO storm-tossed Europe.
1t seems hardly TO be real, but rather
to belong to one of those mythical tales
when Ulysses or Aeneas Jared forth up
on an unknown sea in quest of adventure
and foreign shores.
1t seems to be enveloped in haze of
unreality, so seldom is a spiritual i'm
pulse made manifest to the senses with
so little apparent effort. When Alladin
rubbed the lamp, the genii appeared.
When Nine. Rosika Schwimmer spent
the day at the Ford farm at Dearborn
last Friday forces were at work little to
be realized by the wayfarers on the mud
dy roads that bleak and rainy day.
What will come of this little company
of ardent pacifists' hopes and prayers we
do not know.
When the Mayfower set out from
Plymouth nearly 800 years ago, her lit
tie band of voyagers was thought to be
a fooIhardy, obstinate handful of people
of very little account to the great coun-
try of England; yet it stood for the re-
ligious liberty which America has claimed
as its birthright.
Perhaps the Oscar II may be written
down in history as the ship which
brought to wounded Europe. helpless IN
the grip of its own folly, healing balm
and hope-hope without which all beings
would perish-for peace and love and
happiness once more.
