"(D Argentina and Brazil have in ev-
cry conceivable way increased the abil-
ity of their capitals to raise tax money.
The United States has. on the other
hand, habitually reduced the tax-rais-
ing capacity of Washington. The
South American cities are great and
rich in taxable resources, and their
wealth and commercial and industrial
prosperity have been as vigorously pro-
noted by the nation as by their own
enterprise. Washington is and has

industrialiy by deliberate national

fields new role will depict another and
entirely different character than he ever
before has played. Though Mr.. Warfield
has only created and played four roles
since he came under the management OF
Mr. Belasco fifteen years ago. these four
parts have been such as no other actor,
living or dead, ever essayed. Mr.. War
fields remarkable delineation of charac-
ter and his wonderful human touches
which he gives TO his dramatic creations
have made him not only the greatest
actor on the stage. but the most lovable

In his new play, that of Van der
Decken,'' which Mr.. Belasco has written
expressly for him, MIR. Warfield not only
will have role Of tremendous human
qualities. but one of remarkable strength
and wonderful beauty and tenderness.
While Mr. Belasco has used the funda-
mental idea suggested in the old familiar
legend of the Flying Dutchman," he has
made his play and created his chief
character out of his own brain-one might
say more truly, out of his own heart
and soul.
