P0LI'S PRODUCTION OF
JULIUS CAESAR SUCCESS
Rendering Of S6Akespearean Tragedy
BY Stock Company Wins Ap-
proval Of Public.

MOST peoplo are afraid To see a Shake
spearean production. Not because they
lack an appreciation of the Bard OF
Avon. but becauss they have too much
appreciation for his Immortal works to
see "a passion torn to .tatters," and
having their ewn ideas as to the inter-
probation Of the lines. are afraid that
the Installation upon the stage will
>hatter the concept they have formed in
their minds eye Especially is this
true as regards the production Of a
shakespearean play by a stock company
Therefore, certain amount of hard-
hood and an unshakabie confidence in
the players are required for the manage
ment OF Polls Theater to attempt the
production Of the tragedy OF Julius
Caesar" That their confidence In both
players and public was we'll founded Is
attested by the crowded houses that have
greeted every performance this week.
Much praise has been bestowed upon
the players of the popular Avenue play
house for their ability in handling 30
stupendous an undertaking. Prof. Len
nox, Of Catholic University. is one of the
prominent student teachers of English lit
ersture who gives the production his un-
qualified approval
There Is probably no play OF Shakes
peare that calls for SO much ability as
does that of Julius Caesar. The inn
passioned oratory Of Marc Antony calls
for an exceptionally high ability in elocu-
tion. and In this role the leading man of
Polls, A. II. Van Buren,. not only meets
the demand. but displays q keen insight
into the moods of the high-minded Ro-
man whose love for his friend. the fallen
Caesar changes him from the dilletantc
to the man OF vengeance. 1t was very
gratifying to the Poll audience to see
their footlisht favorite, whom they have
viewed only in lighter roles. prove so sue

figure of the tragedy. is admirably en-

As Cassius. the arch conspirator. Mark
Kent acquitted himself finely. He por-
trsyed the scheminS. jealous enemy of
Caesar in a manner that was at once
both realistic and artistic.
The supporting company Is well bal
anced and the production Ii on the whole
not only one of the most ambitious un-
dertakinss of the Poll Theater. but one of
the best acted plays that has been pro
duced on the Poll stage in years.

rough Such was the humble beginning
Of Lew Hilton, leading comedian with
the Million Dollar Doll Company at
the Gayety Thester this week.
Lew was not much of a success at the
candy business. He was always stage
struck and most of his working hours
were spent standing In the aisles with
his eyes fastened on the performers on
the stage. However, the patrons at the
old Windsor Theater in New York soon
found way to get even with him for
getting in front OF them. Lew was so
occupied watching what WAS happening
on the stage that he did not have time
to watch his wares. Consequently the
crowd used to purioin candy. cigarettes
and cigars from Lew's basket Lew used
to owe about forty or fffy cents each
performance and soon came to the con-
clusion that IL was a slow road to wealth.
At benefit at the old Tony Pastor
Theater. In New York. Lew volunteered
his services They showed him on and
he did an imitation Of an Italian char
acter that won his instant recognition.
Gus Edwards. song writer and vsude-
willie producer. was in the house that
night. and before Lew could leave the
stage Gus was behind the scenes with a
contract in one hand and bunch OF
bills I'm the other. with Edwards his
experience as character comedian n
soon brought him to the attention Of the
big burlesdue producers and, in 1877.
Thomas Miner managed TO secure him
for his famous Jardn de Paris Girls
Company.

One Way to Regulate.

The street signs and regulations are
the most crude and confusing of any
CITY in the world. 1 noticed ladicrous
one on the Seventy-second street

Cars Stop Here" but there was not
a word to indicate that il was a sub

In St Louis some humorist has put
signs in front of the trolley cars
which read, Don't run in front OF the
cars" What do they want you to
do Stand still and get run over? If
I was caught in front of one of those
st. Louis trolley cars I'd run for all

ARGUE ON OPIUM Act
Discuss Scope of Harri-
son Anti-nnrcotic Law.


Arguments upon which depend scores
of prosecutions for alleged violation Of
the Harrison drug act OF 1914. regulating
the use Of opium. were begun yesterday
in District Supreme Court.
Attorneys for Jim Fuzzy Moy, indicted
in Pittsburgh on the charge of having
opium in his possession, contended that
the law was limited in operation to drug
dealers and did not extend to consumers.
Assistant Attorney General Wallace ex-
planned the governments Interpretation
that the act made it unlawful for any
person not registered to have opium In
his possession.
In a decision of the Federal district
court in western Pennsylvania 1t is
claimed that. unless the Supreme Court
reverses the lower court, traffic" In
opium will be inevitably diverted from
reputable physicians and druggists to
the Infamous class OF persons who for
gain are willing to pander to one Of the
most lamentable and miserable weak
nesses Of human nature.

Special Correspondent Of The WAshington Aerald
New York. Dec. Lit seems as
though there are certain men who
when they become muitimfllfonaires
lose all money-sense or else become 81
gantic liars. -
The Emo will case reveals the fact
that the late Amos F. Emo didn't
know how much money he had-didn't
know whether he was worth $5.oo0.0oo
or sl5,ooO. 600. If the latter sum. as seems
likely, Columbia University will probably
get a nice little wad of about seven mil
lions.
Emo was not the only rich man, by
any means. who died without know
ing how much he was worth. TWO
weeks before he died, Mr.. Hartman
told James r. Stillman in the Union
Club that he didn't know whether he
had seventy-five or eighty-fve mil
lions. This little discrepancy of ten
millions had nothing to do with his
death either. though it was more than
enough to have killed a good many
men. William II. Vanderbilt had no
very definite idea of how rich he was
for a number of years before he died.
Two Kinds of Money.
Then what's the good of having
these extra millions? If you don't
know you have them, you might as
well not have them. Also, il you
have only ten millions and think you
have twenty you are just as well of
as though you had twenty. There are
ten millions of fictitious wealth which
answers all the purposes of real
wealth. So why have wealth at all?
A philosopher would probably say,
just believe that you have it and you
are as well off as though you did
have it. AS for me. / don't care for
that Christian Science kind of riches.
] want the real thing. the vulgar kind
of money you can see and feel. At
least the kind the landlord can see.
wonder if all this is pose on
the part Of rich men that they sim
ply pretend not to know how large
could tell closer than ten millions and
act. ] am sure there is no ten-mil
lion-dollar discrepancy in my bank ac-
count at the present moment.
To he sure. some milionaires have died
who knew exactly about their wealth
their money as ! am with mine. who
not only regarded the dollars as old
friends. but had speaking acquaintance
with the tcn-cent pieces and bowed to
the pennies. Russell Sage was such
one. He knew 10 a dot how much he
had. You could trust him for that. He
not only bowed TO the pennies-he
scraped for them. William r. Grade
also. I believe. knew just how much he
had down to the deduction OF the last
nickel for car fare.
