ADJUSTMENTS
GRAND.

The story of street urchin and his
equally lawless dog forms the main
thread OF the delightful comedy, Young
America which will be presented by
Conan and Harris for one week at the
Grand Opera House, commencing
Monday night. The author, Fred Bal
lard, has taken his idea for the play
from Pearl Franklin's Mrs. Doray stor-
les and has written dramatic plea for
better consideration Of the street waif,
whose environment, he contends, is oft
en- responsible for his misshapen char
acter. chance to do better is demand
ed for the boy and the proper direction
so that the Young America" may de
velop into the ideal American manhood
to which the world looks up. The reform
school may punish, but will not correct.
he play shows the natural boy, beaten
and cuited by a heartless relative, until
home becomes synonym for lladcs.
Driven into the society Of similar char
acters with no moral direction, he com
mits acts that make him the mark for
all blame. The juvenile court takes him
in hand and a kindly judge endeavors to
give him chance to reform without the
strong hand Of the law being laid upon
him. Then we have one Of the strongest
scenes OF the piece, where the charming
Mrs Doray pleads with her husband to
give the boy a home, and finally takes
him into her house despite the protest
of her spouse.
The reconciliation Of Jack Doray to
the establishment of the young vaga-
bond is brought about through the ur-
chin's great love for his dog The lat
ter, IT may be told, is no other than the
famous canine actor, Jasper, whose won
derfu intelligence has puzzled scientists
everywhere. There is much heart inter
est III the piece and the auditor is not
human who can sit unmovcd throughout
the telling Of the story.
Charming Peggy Wood, who deserted
musical comedy for the legitimate dra-
ma, is the Mrs. Doray, and among the
other members Of the cast are Doris
Kelly, Dorothy Fox Slayton, Adclla
Barker Otto Kruger, William Sampson,
Sam Colt, Charles Frohman Everett
Benny Sweeney, Forrest Robinson,
Charles Dow Clark, and Dixie Taylor.
Messrs. Cohan and Harris have given
the piece a handsome scenic production
and the performance here will be prac-
rically the same as seen at the Gaycty
Theatcr, New York, during the six
months run of the play.

.i'ItIt'.

One of the most interesting and in
many ways the most important theatrical
events Of the current season, will be the
engagement of Margaret Anglin at this
theatre during the week of Monday
March q, i'll her new play, called "Thc
Vein Of Gold" Rupert Hughes dramati-
zation of Gertrude Athcrton's great
novel entitled Perch of the Devil"
which was one Of the half dozen best
sellers a year ago
The simple announcement of such a
trinity Of celebrated names as Anglin,
Hughes and Athcrton; each one of
whom has gained the highest distinction
IN the ilclds of arts and letters, is in itself
formidable magnet to the discriminat-
ing playgocr and those who appreciate
the best form OF theatrical amusement.
The new play is essentially American
in its locals and treatment and in the
central character Of this moving, com
pclling and absorbing drama-which is
presented in three acts Miss Anglin has
role quite the equal il not surprising,
IN It's emotional possibilities, of any Of
the many great parts with which her
name is linked
Miss Anglin has occupied a place Of
exalted distinction and prominence on
the American stage for a number of
years. She has demonstrated again and
agan-in widely divergent rolcs-hcr
right to be classcd among the new really
great emotional actresses on the Eng
lish speaking stage, and by her perform
anccs OF Shakcspcarcan characters. and
in the classic Greek drama she has
measured up to the highest standards of
her art in both comedy and tragedy.
Miss Anglin's engagement here in
The Vein OF Gold" should, and un-
doubtcdly will, attract the attention of
patrons OF the theatre who appreciate
and maintain the best in the art OF the
acted drama, The supporting company
includes w. lawson Butt, who played
with Miss Anglin in her classic Greek
revlvals in the Greek theatre of the
University Of California last summer:
Walter Walker, Viola I'ortcsquc, Mrs
Charles g. Craig, George Dcnry, Alfred
Lunt Mrs. Charles Willard, Howard
Lindsey Ferdinand Gouschalk, Ralph
Kemmet, and a dozen others.

WATCHING
ELECTION IN THEU.S.
Vienna and Berlin Papers Say
Result Will Not InfIu-
ence War.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN

By the Associated Press
VIENNA, via London, November A.
The Austro-Hungarian press, which a
week ago paid no attention to the Ameri-
can presidential campaign. has discussed
the subject during the last few days as
thoroughly as the fragmentary reports
| reaching Vienna will permit. Generally
the papers express the opinion that the
result Of the presidential election will have
no influence upon the war.
The Vienna Allgemeine Zeitung, after
expressing belief that the result of the
election is in doubt, says: THE presi-
dental election in itself is a matter for
which the political life Of Europe has no
parallel Questions in many cases more
important than problems associated with
the election Of an executive chief in the
United States are often decided in Eu-
rope by vote in parliament. It is hard to
imagine what the political atmosphere of
America would be were it not for this
four years. Just for this reason Is the
presidential election specifically Ameri-
can that Is to say, an internal affair, in
which questions Of home politics give the
to guard against the view that the result
Of the American election would bring
about great change in the course Of
American policies or would materially in
f1uence the public attitude in the United
States toward the European war.
Thinks Course Would Be Same.
'Mr. Wilson. should he remain at the
wheel. will not let go the political
plumb line he has so far held. Mr.
Hughes, should he take Mr. Wilson's
place, would not guide the policies of
the country into new channels Amer
lean policies toward the central states
during the coming months generally
will remain what they have been. be-
cause motives underlying decisions of
the American State Department remain
the same. A study of the country leads
to the conclusion that Mr.. Wilson's
attitude differs in no particular respect
from that of Influential circles Of Amer
lean, people and that the course he has
followed was a consequence Of that
country's interior policy"
Germans Interested in Election.
BERLIN. November 4.-The German
press shows considerable interest in
the approaching American election,
printing all available news arriving
by way of Holland or reprfnting sum-
maries Of the situation from old Eng
fish newspapers. The Catholic organ.
the Koelnische Volks Zeitung, devoted
"a lengthy editorial to the subject, but
studiously avoided taking1sides. If the
German people at one time. it says,
sided with one of theEcandidates be-
cause they assumed that he was more
friendly to Germany they now see their
mistake.
The Frankfurter Zeitung also prints
leading editorial expressing the opin-
very much in doubt. 1t treats with
great sympathy President Wilson's
program for eliminating war through
a peace organization established
through propaganda of the peace idea,
but refrains from expressing prefer
ence between candidates

FEWER PANAMAs BOUGHT.
Americans Paid More for Hats in
1915 Than in 1914. However.

Americans last year wore SIS dozen
fewer so-called Panama hats MANU-
featured in the Island of Curacao,
Dutch West Indies. than they did in
1914. but those they did wear cost
more. The making of these hats is the
second industry OF this island. The
value of those exported to this country
in 1914 was 100000: in 1915 1t had
risen to $155.ooo, a gain Of $4,000.
This higher price is attributed partly
to the better quality of the headgear,
and hat experts state that some straw
hats as fine as the very best produced
anywhere else now come from this lit
tie island. This is largely a result
Of the instruction given the natives in
a school for hat making operated by
the colonial government.
