surprised when she became relig-

beginning Monday. when that distin-
guished actor will make his farewell
bow in theatricals in this city. Mr..
Sothern has retired from the stage as
far as monetary consideration goes and
during his present tour of twenty weeks
he will give his entire shares Of Is
per cent Of the gross receipts to the
British Red Cross. But for the present
war Sothern would already have retired
from the stage, but he felt that he could
do something for the Red Cross. and
So his present tour was arranged. He
will even pay his own living and rail-
road expenses.

works that Sothern has ever given, will
have a splendid cast, for besides the
star himself there will be George w.
