BEIASCO

Oliver Morosco will present at the
Belasco Theater for it's first perform
arce on any stage and for an engage
ment of three nights and a Saturday
matinee. beginning Thursday night, a
rev four-act comedy by Edward Childs
Carpenter entitled The Cinderella
Man"
The play is American in character
ana setting, and is the story of Mar
torie Gamer. who has returned from
abroad where she has lived all her
life. deficately. reared under the loving
care of her mother. who had separated
from the father long before. Marjorie
has known such life as great wealth
and unquestioned social position can
command. The death of her mother has
brought her back to New York and to
her father. a grim, powerful man of
great ambition. Immediately there is
a clash between father and daughter.
Among her fathers friends are a ia
nous musician. an eminent lawyer and
a great physician, who offer Marjorie
consolation. but, being of an indepen-
dent spirit, she seeks her own COM
panion. In a rather odd manner she
meets Anthony Quintard, a young writ
er of good family, but poor. He be-
comes her comrade,f friend and finally,
to her. just the one man in all the
world. The unconventional manner of
their meeting is misunderstood, and
tragedy thrusts its unwelcome pres
ence into their young lives. The humor
that eraerges from the many efforts of
the father to Offset their union comes
with relieving surprises. The cast will
include Phoebe Foster. Shelley Hull,
Frank Bacon. Reginald Mason. Charles
Lane. Hubert Wilke, Theodore Blb-
cock. William Yerance. Lillian Dix and
others

HOSPITALS FOR WAR HORSES.
Benefcent Work of Purple Gross
Among Animals of the Armies.

From the London News.
How the wounded horses of not only
the allies. but of the Germans as well,
are nursed back to health was ex-
planned at public meeting of the Pur-
pie Cross service for wounded and sick
army horses at Bechstein Hall yester-
day afternoon.
Lord Leigh presided and gave details
Of the good objects Of the oreanization.
which is authorized by the French min
lister of war to work in the zone of the
armies and in conjunction with the
army authorities.
Miss nI-Af-Hageby said that the
service now had three hospitals for
sick horses-at Vesoul, Foulain (near
ChaumonD and Bordeaux, and in these
places, she said. they dealt with horses
straight from the French lines. The
French authorities were very pleased
with the work they had done, both
from the humanitarian and utilitarian
points of view. Many of the worst
cases-very bad cases, indeed-they had
been able to cure, but only by giving
the poor animals the very best atten-
tion for as long as five or six weeks.
In ordinary circumstances many OF
the cases would have been treated as
hopeless from the beginning, and the
poor animals would have been shot
dead, but they had as their principal
officer Prof. j. Shore-Jones,
who had effected some wonderful cures.
They never had less than $50 very
serious cases in their hospitals.

German Hymns.
e Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Those who have any knowledge Of
our hymnology would have recognized
two old favorites In the German wire
less message yesterday. They were
two sung before the chancellor's pal
ace In Berlin, and they were described
as 'the old Lutheran song, "A Mighty
Fortress Is Our Cod" and Now Let
Us All Thank God" OF course we know
them in this country as "A Safe Strong
hold Our God Is Still" and the ever
popular Now Thank We All Our God"
Both are great favorites in this coun-
try, as in Germany, where the former
is known as a battle hymn. In Ger
many a hymn Is sung on the smallest
excuse. There are at least 100000 Ger
man hymns: 10000 have passed into
German hymn books and about 1000
are regarded as classics by the Ger
man critics. We have borrowed largely
from the enemy in this respect, and. in
deed. until the modern revival OF the
translation of hymns from the Latin
and other languages Germany was al
most the only source from which
hymns other than British were taken
for our hymn books. Luther wrote a
large number marked by rugged and
intense power, and other writers whom
We know well here are Rickart. Won
Lowenstern; Freylinghausen and the
Moravian Count Zinzendorf.
