evening gown Of spanglcd material
in color scheme OF orchid and tur-

tendency to crinolines shown in so
many imported models. Simplicity Of
line and richness Of material Is tho
keynote of the creation. Turquoise
blue velvet is effectively used in a
square cut bodice of almost empire

falls the long skirt in clinging lines.

TWO NEW PLAYSFOR
WEEK AT THEPALACE
They Are "The Lion and the
Mouse" and "Amy Of
the Circus"

The play chosen for the first half
OF this week for presentation by the
Lewis-oliver players at the Palace
theater. entitled THE Lion and the
Mouse" is probably one Of the most
dramatic plays ever presented at this
popular play house. The production
is already completed for the opening
tomorrow and will no doubt prove a
sensation in scenic beauty.
Love and High Finance.
The story Of THE Lion and the
Mouse" is Of love and high finance,
and in brief is as follows: Judge Ross
more Of the supreme bench is uniyer-
sally recognized as an enemy to the
trusts and money kings. His daugh-
ter. a sweet young woman Of decided
literary attainments, is in perfect
sympathy with her fathers convictions
and has written successful book,
THE Octopus" in which she covert
y attacks one John Burkett Rider, a
power in the financial world and a
bitter enemy of her fathers.
The Judge, while strictly honest in
spirit has committed the indiscretion
OF issuing certain correspondence, rel
alive to the purchase of securities.
which in the strict letter of the law
makes 1t appear that he has used his
judicial position for his own person.
al gain. This correspondence falls in
to the hands of Rider, whose aim 1t
is to have the old Judge impeached;
and put in his place man whose SYM
pathies and interests are identical
with his own.
Sudden Affair.
1t is at this interesting stage Of de-
velopment that Shirley Rossmore. the
judges daughter. returns from trip
abroad. On the voyage she has met

Jefferson Rider, son OF the great
money king, and sudden love affair
has developed in an engagement, but
Of course tho true identity of each Is
unknown to the other.
On learning of her fathers imper-
lied position and threatened disgrace.
Shirley seeks means to prevent it.
and succeeds in engaging herself as
private secretary to John Burkett
Rider, under the name of Miss Green.
The rest of the story concerns itself
with the manner in which she warns
herself into the good graces of her
employer, and finally. with the aid Of
young Jefferson Rider. she outwits the
heretofore invincible and all power
full king of finance. Not only does
she outwit him, but succeeds in win
ming him over completely to their
side. Rider finally welcomes Shirley
as his loving daughter.
Another Good One.
The play for the last three days
needs no introduction as its past sue
cess is known to nearly every thea
tergoing person in this city. "Amy Of
the Circus" contains oil the necessary
drama and comedy to be one Of the
most enjoyable plays ever seen on the
local stage and is most acceptable
holiday entertainment.
Special matinees will be held We'd

EDISON WINS

Noted Broadway Theatrical
Producer is Engaged as

In the nature of triumph for the

rical producer. to become its direc.

division manager. For bright 60

owe to Mr.. Smithson's acumen their
present eminent position on the stage
and screen. and in the majority OF
these cases, owe their very theatrical
or screen existence to his judgmeu,
and advancing OF them. 1t may safe.

Mr.. Smithson had Just returned

success when he jumped into the re-
hearsing Of another in New York.
Comedian In England.
Twenty years of a most active life
have been spent in America by Mr.
Smithson who. however, was a well
known leading comedian in England
before he came here. There. he was
associated with Sir Augustus Harris
William Greet and others of prom
tnence. He has originated many parts
notably such as Uncle Matt in ia
Cigale," Larry o'Brien in DANDY
Dick" with May Yohe who had made
a sensational success at that time.
Mr.. Smithson also played in, and
staged, many English plays and pan
tomimes. Then he visited this coun-
try for pleasure. Here he met E. E
Rice who prevailed upon him to re-
main and stage THE Girl from Paris
at the Herald Square theater. Since
that time Mr.. Smithson has become q
loyal American citizen, declaring
that he loves his adopted land the
!. more each year he stays.
!. Negotiated Long.
Mr.. Smithson will work hand and
hand with the studio manager, Mr..
McChesney. but the former will en-
JOY more latitude and authority than
has heretofore been allotted one in a
similar position in recognition of Mr..
smithson's uncommon and successful
experience and ability. The Edison
organization long negotiated with Mr..
smithson before he could hear the
call Of motion pictures, but now that
they have been successful, there is a
feeling that he will be motive and
Energetic factor in placing Edison re-
leases in an enviable position and
that he will be no small force in the
constant betterment OF screen artis-
lie and dramatic standards.

This situation is appalling. 1t can
not be shirked; it must be met. And
the question is how are we to meet it
There are several ways in which it
can be done. The simplest, but prob
ably the most obnoxious, would be to
issue bonds; another would be to re-
enact the war tax act in times of pro-
found peace, when possibly Europe
itself will be at peace and increase
that tax; another still would be to re-
adjust the income tax by decreasing
the exemption and increasing the rate,
or again, to revert back to the old
practice of collecting money from a
duty on sugar"
The Lamar register., 1915-02-03

If things keep on as they have been
going for the past few years, it will
be much easier for an American citi-
zen to go to Jail and stay there than
it will be to keep out of jail. Every
now and then some individual or some
clique bobs up with a bran new plan
for turning some of US into criminals
The number of new ways for getting
a man into jail is surprising. Wis
consin has its "eugenics law" which
makes it a felony for couple to mar
ry without undergoing a physical ex-
animation. The Illinois legislature, at
its present session, will gravely con-
slider the passage of a similar crimi-
nal statute. Other states are being
asked to pass laws making it a felony
for citizen to have liquor in his home
