EAGELS WAS WAITING FOR CHANCE Pretty Star of "Outcast" Prepared Herself for
 Advancement

Preparedness is beyond question the tivities of life. It is the one great quality which commands success when opportunity arrives. In no vocation in life is it more essential than in the profession of the actor. Managers are loathe to displace the old and popular favorites so long as they manifest any drawing power with the public, but they eventually go, and it is then that the younger actors find their opportu- nifty. Very frequently it comes unex- pectedly, and it is the young man or young woman who is prepared that wins out These are the instances of stars being made over night
 Jeanne Eagels, who plays the leading role in "Outcast," Is evidently entitled to a place in this list of the famous. She began her stage career when she
 was but 15 years of age, with Q stock company in Kansas City, and she has endured all the hard knocks expe- rienced with minor repertoire com panies. She developed petite, pretty blond beauty that made her attractive in ingenue roles and managers would not consider her aspirations for more serious parts Her opportunity finally came when she was recommended for the character of Miriam" the heroine of "Outcast." with London company that was to tour the south. Her open ing night in Richmond about three weeks ago proved not only that she had ability, but the severest critics de-

clared she was an unusual actress of rare artistic merit. The critic of tho Virginian Pilot of Norfolk in glowing E phrase described her as "revelation" in the part. and one of the finest emo tional actresses who has ever visited the south.
 Similar high praise was awarded her in other cities. And so it has come to pass that at 22 this beautiful young woman is hailed with acclaim as an exceptionally fine actress in one of the most difficult and most complex roles that has been presented on the stage in many years. Gifted with undoubted native talent, and with a high pur- pose in view, she had prepared herself for the great opportunity. When 1t came she was ready.

''CAUGHT IN THE HAREM" THIS WEEK Manager Boone Kelly Of fers New Burlesque at
 the Orpheum

Caught in the Harem" will be the title of the burlesque performance at the orpheum theatre this week in the presentation of which quite number of new people will appear.
 It has been the policy of Manager Boone Kelly to improve the quality of the shows ever since taking hold of the orpheum house, and the bill for this week Is claimed to be a consider ably better burlesque programme than any yet witnessed at this theatre.
 Joe Mack and Doc Dorman will play the leading comedy characters, Joe Mack as the Irishman and Doc Dor man as the Dutchman
 In mentioning Joe Mack, the Or pheum patrons are very familiar with his manner of doing the Irish comedy, but as to Doc Dorman, it is well to state that he is one of the new people to be added to this company this week. MT. Dorman is a burlesque comedian of clever ability and he promises in his assistance to Joe Mack, to afford fun of the class which the Orpheum pa irons are sure to approve.
 Among the pretty girls who will participate in Caught in the Harem'' there will be several new and fasci- hating beauties, among whom will be the prima donna who is claimed to be the most pleasing and attractive of any appearing at the. Orpheum.
 Also the chorus will be very notice- ably strengthened by the addition of clever dancers and good singers.
 In promising a better programme this week, the musical numbers and specialties are featured as especially catchy.
 Miss Drisdale will render two num- bers, entitled eff We Can't Be the Same Old Sweethearts," and If You've Got a Little Bit, Hold On to It." In these songs Miss Drisdale expects to please her audience most satisfactor- fly.
 Miss Esther Roberts, dainty little favorite, will appear In "You Didn't Care.'' which will be one of the bright est numbers on the programme, and
 Miss Mae Bernard will sing "LinlSy Winky Chinatown" In the rendition of these numbers the large chorus with the assistance of new members, will appear in very effective manner. In addition to playing one of the leading comedy parts, Doc Dorman will appear in a singing and dancing speciality. entitled, What the Engine Done," in which he will endeavor to initiate the famous Neil OBrien. Tom Findley will play the part Of the Sultan and Isabella Drisdale will play a leading part as his favorite wife
 Caught in the Harem' takes place, of course, in harem, where the Irish man and Dutchman are caught. They disguise themselves as women. ap- bearing as members of the harem and just there is where the real fun of the performance develops most pleasingly. The country store will be the fea- tuve for Wednesday night, amateur performers Thursday night while athletic night will be Friday. These special nights have been proving big drawing cards in the past and for this week these features are billed as real thrillers and fun makers.

U. S. MONEY ORDERS BOON TO WORLD

Although there was decided decrease in inter
national money order exchange in this country for
some time after the outbreak of the war; conditions
are said now to be fast returning to normal Despite
great difficulties the United States continued its
money order service to all countries which did not
of their own accord suspend the exchange. The
Postoffice Department has not only been able thus
to accommodate the public during trying period,
but is now planning to go even farther and extend
the international money order service to principal
Latin American countries in order to facilitate trade
between North and South America.
Money orders to the amount of hundred million
dollars are under ordinary conditions issued annu-
ally in the United States for payment abroad, and
these orders are the means not only of conducting
small business transactions but also of conveying
across the aid to those who dependent for
support in part or in whole upon persons in this
country. A suspension of the money order ex-
change by the United States at critical period
several months ago would have meant hardships
for those who then urgently in need of funds.
The continuation OF the Servce though the
high price of foreign exchange had interfered with
the liquidation by the Postofice Department of it's
Indebtedness to foreign departments and invited
dlscontinuance, enabled missionaries abroad to re-
ceive aid from American church organizations, and
stranded tourists to get funds from relatives and
friends in this country.
The high price of foreign exchange brought the
Postoffice Department business, too that was not
altogether welcome. American bankers and bust
ness men having European connections sent remit
tances abroad by means of large quantities Of
money orders. The procedure meant saving to
them, but hindrance to the service in the condi-
ton in which it then was. The Department ac.
cordingy restricted to hundred dollars the maxi
mum amount that could be sent to one European
payee
Since the exchange rates are again normal the
restriction has now been removed. Money order
business is at present being conducted with all
countries with which the United States has been
carrying on such business in the past, with the ex
ception of Belgium Austria, Portugal and Egypt
whose postal administrations took the initiative in
suspending the exchange of money orders.
The negotiations now under way between the
United States and important South American coun
tries to provide for the exchange of money orders
between the republics, deserve to be successful
Our international money order service has been in
Indispensable so far European nations are con-
cerned, and once extended to our-Latn American

The Telephone Man,s Troubles

The telephone man was being kidded
about the phone service and, incident
ally, quizzed as to the number and ma
ture OF complaints he receives. He
told this story:
A rural subscriber, upon entering
the business Office of the telephone com
pany, explained that he is paying $S6
for the use of two phones, one being
an extension in his reading or smoking
room on the second floor. The sub
scrIber thought it was about time to
cut down expenses and he thought the
family could do with one telephone.
NOW / want the main telephone
the one on the first ioor,-taken out
and l think / will keep the extension -
he said to the woman clerk in the Of
fee.
"That will mean a reduction of Sc
a year, she said.
"Oh, no." quickly replied the sub.
scriber. "Thirty dollars, you mean"
"But you are Mistaken" she insist
ed.
Not on your life. This telephone
company cannot hunswoggle me like
that. Didn It / get Sc rate on that
extension phone and don t I pay $50
for the main phone. Now if l keep
only the extension phone, why should
/ nav more than S62,t
The clerk tried to explain, but the
subscriber was too much excited to
" think that telephone company would
dig right into my pockets and take out
my money" Besides he couldn't ex-
press himself the way he desired be-
cause the clerk was woman, so he left
the Office shouting that he would be
back again to prove his claim and get
"Justice.'

THE EXPO AND THE sTAY-AT.HoMEs

The opinion of the Louisville Courier Journal
is that the chief benefits resulting from long jour-
neys to and through expositons are privileges
which such experiences give the sightseers not
only to talk indefinitely about exposition wonders
but also to ward off persons who may at future
times want to tell them all about those wonders
Visitors in Chicago and in ST. Louis in the years
of the big exposition times in those cities still want
to describe what they saw and they do not tire of
repeating accounts of their experiences, for much
of the appreciation of fine things lies in telling
about them to Others although the listeners are
not always the appreciative ones The persons who
see San Francisco will have something to say too
when they return home. If they will find pleasure
in reviewing in their memories and in recounting
in their conversations their experiences at the great
exposition surely that pleasure will be recompense
enough-to them-for any tiresome features of the
trip.
Most of over here near the Atlantic coast
will not get to the San Francisco exposition be-
cause-well, primarily and perhaps solely, because
the expenses would be too great in comparison with
our available funds.
IF physical weakness is enough to keep the old
Liberty Bell from the exposition, financial weak
ness is sufficient to deprive San Francisco of
the presence of the many persons in this part of the
country who really do not care enough about the
fair to take the trouble to run out and see it but
who while staying at home attending to business
are nevertheless absorbing eagerly the flowery ac-
counts of the big show feasting ravenousy on the
photographs of the beautiful buildings and har.
boring mad though secret desires to be on the
glorious scene.
