American forces from Mexico is be-
ieved here to be object of trip to the
border on which Chief of Staff Scott

Gen. ScOtt's trip is generally as
signed to fact that Villa hunt is at a

Officially, Scott is to canvass situa-

organization in this case, as with all
his productions includes artists who
can give a perfect ensemble perform
ance, which is a delight to the lovers
Of good things in the theatre. The
Hawk" has scored a great personal
success for Mr.. Faversham both for
his acting and as a producer. 1t is a
love story of modern life, big, thrilling
and unusual in its treatment of per
tinent subject. The Hawk" made a
record run when it was originally
produced in Paris and repeated that
success when Mr. Faversham brought
it to New York This engagement
will afford local playgoers their only
opportunity for one engagement in
each play in any city. He now has
another play under consideration
which will probably be brought tc
| production early in the fall.

AT SPENCER SQUARE.

Captain Jinks of the Horse Ma

the politics and the frivolities of the
'70s, to be seen at the Spencer Square
Thursday, has been wrought into film
form by Essanay, with Ann Murdoch,
the baby star" of the Charles Froh-
man company, and Richard c. Travers
in the leads.
Fitch, it is believed, would have been
the equal Of George Bernard Shaw
had he lived until his gifts had devel-
oped to their full. He was cut off
just as his influence was beginning to
be felt in the American drama His
gift lay in the creation of situations
as we'll as in dialogue Captain links
of the Horse Marines" is one of the
most brilliant examples of this gift.
