 LARGE AUDIENCE

 Popular Drama.

That ever-romantic dramatization. "St. Elmo" which has thrilled hum dreds of thousands of people, is being given an excellent production this week at the Park theatre by Miss Cecil Spooner and her accomplish ed company.

COHAN SHOW AT
 LYRIC PLEASES LARGE PATRONAGE
"The Yankee Prince" Attracts Many First Nighters-Wel- -
 come for Kearney.

! Bonville and Schoeneck presented the George M. Cohan musical play, ''The Yankee Prince" to a crowded house at the Lyric theatre last even- ing and if performances in the future are to be as good as this one, the musical stock company which has opened there is assured of a success full engagement. With one or two ex. captions. honors were about even among the principals in the cast last night. Of all the Conan musical shows. t"The Yankee Prince" probably has the fewest song hits, but what 1t lacks in tuneful and catchy music is made up in bright dialogue funny situations and character types.
 Of the latter, William Sellery as Steve Daily, the part made famous by Tom Lewis, and Isabelle winloche as Mrs. Fielding. from Chicago" were easily the favorites. They deserved the curtain calls which the audience tried to give them but for some req son the stage directors would not al- low them to accept. In fact when the audience asked for repetition o1 several of the song numbers, all though the performers seemed willing to repeat, the orchestra leader od the stage director would not give the cue for an encore.
 Dave Mallen, who scored in the part of Percy Springer, originally played by MT. Conan, had the same experience His songs and speech were distinctly Cohanese and his dances with Dorothy Wright who was cast as Evelyn Fielding, were repeat. edly applauded. Miss Wright was not in good voice but if she lacked ir this respect she made up for it in vii vacity, graceful boise and in hel dances.
 John Kearney. an old favorite here received a. warm welcome. He was cast as John Pagan, d part we'll suited 1, to him and his song. Come On Dowr Town" was one of the hits of the per. formances. Phyllis Pell, who was advertised as the prima donna of the company did not sing last night, al tn ough she was on the program fol two songs. Her voice as she spoke her lines, scarcely carried beyond the footlights. It was reported she was suffering from severe Icold. She has a charming stage presence. how. ever, and seems capable of a better performance than she gave las night.
 Royal Cutter as the Earl of Wey mouth, pleased. Others in the cas- were Allan Ramsay as Franklin Fielding, Briggs French, as White side Webster, Ed Morrell as De Vrie Edward H. Crawford. as the Duke o1 Dolsford and Marion Chase as Ger trude Spevins.
 Walter Gilbert got some fine com edy bits out of the characters O guard. waiter and bobby. One O. the best numbers was the Coster song q Say. F'lo.' > The large chorus sang the sons numbers in good voice and the seen cry and lighting effects fitted thu play.

PLAZA.

One of the best programs that the Plaza has had on its boards in two months at leaAt, has been arranged for the first half of the week and every feature on the bill is decided hit.
 Bert. and Vera Morrissey, the letter the pretty young local girl, known to her many friends and acquaintances as Martha Hurd, put over a singing and dancing fantasy that won instant favor for this versatile pair. Martha is a striking and vivacious young wo- man with talent sparkling from her finger tips and her partner is one of the neatest soft-shoe dancers seen To- cally this season. The act was given a rousing ovation by yesterdays audi ences and many floral pieces were presented over the footlights.
 Richard, Brandt and Martin, trio of acrobats who cleverly combine com edy and thrills in a manner. that keeps their audience with them to the finish, had an easy victory and their last feat, real sensation. kept applause coming for several minutes after the curtain dropped.
 As always, The Three Migrants, those talented musicians garbed as Italian street singers and musicians, WatkeQ OH W1tn nOnOrS. They nave a unique and ever pleasing way of droIl- ing out their melody and the comedy injected is greatly appreciated. They responded tol more than half a dozen encores at the opening performance yesterday.
 The Faynes, an interesting pair, have an offering that is really put-of- the ordinary in every respect. Most of the act is laid upon the shoulders of the male member who does s,me acrobatic or, might say, contortion- dancing that made many a member of the audience hold their breath while he performed.
 "The Walters Ball" Keystone in two part. with Fatty Arbuckle, was responsible for plenty of laughter. [ William S. Hart. the idol of fIm- dom has new role in 'The Captive God" the five-part Triangle play. Hart is Spaniard brought up as an Indian chief and his work is simply wonderful The story is most absorb ' 1ne and the thrills come fast and fur1- ous It Is easily Hart's greatest work 1n the films.

AN OLD PRovERB

It used to be proverbial that every man (and it is certainly no less true of woman) is either a fool or phy- sician at forty. This means that every intelligent person must learn so much about caring for his own health that by the time he is forty years of age he can almost be reckoned as a physician.
 Why, then, is there so much talk by doctors against ''self-medication"? A woman can recognize all ordinary, ail- ments without calling on doctor. If they are ailments distinctive to her sex she generally knows enough to use that greatest of all remedies for such ailments, Lydia B. Pinkham' 8 Vegetable Compound, and likewise she is familiar with the standard remedies for other diseases.-Adv.

 Santa Ana. president of Mexico, after
 his defeat by the Texans, April 23. 1886, and his capture, while a prisoner,
 acknowledged the independence of Texas. When released he disavowed this recognition for various reasons, and Mexico continued from 1886 on ward to claim, the sovereignty over Texas. The United States annexed Texas in 1S45, whereupon the then Mexican president issued proclama- tion declaring the annexation breach of international faith and called upon the citizens of Mexico to rally to the defense of the territorial integrity of the country, and troops were sent north into Texas

 If an immigrant comes here from Eu. rope and stays long enough to takq out first and second papers, then goes te his native land for four years and goee into business there can he claim ther to be citizen of the United States?
 Stockton in his Outlines of Inter national Law" page 1S2, says that eff a naturalized American citizen resides continuously for two years in the for eign state.- from whence he came or five years in any other foreign state it is presumptive evidence that he has ceased to be an American citizen. Such presumption can be overcome on the presentation of satisfactory evidence to the country" This is a fair ruling because foreign born should not be en- couraged to make this country's privi- leges a mere convenience.
 Walker, who took part of Mexico some Who was he and what became of him Walker was born May 8, 1924. at Nashville, Tenn. He was graduated from the University of Nashville in 1888, but instead of entering the min istry, as his family desired he should do, he studied medicine at the Uni versity of Pennsylvania. getting the degree of NJ. D. in 1S43. He spent two years in Europe. and then he studied law, was admitted to the bar and hung out his shingle in New Orleans. When the gold fever broke out in 1S49 he joined the gold rush, but once on the coast found the avocation of a fili- buster, in which he was to make his fame, open to just such adventurous spirits as he. His first adventure was a raid in Lower. California in 1852. In June of the following year he sailed for Guaymas. This. project was failure. Later he chartered the shir Caroline and set sail now as "Colonef Walker, for Cape San Lucas and thenc' to La Paz, where the expedition landed on Nov 3, made prisoner of the gov ernor, hauled down the Mexican flag and replaced it with the flag of tn independent state of Lower California In an attempt to annex Sonora to his new republic he came to grief anc was obliged to take his shattered arm over to the United States. He was tried and released. His next and las adventure was in Nicaragua. He sur rendered to British warship and wa shot to death by a firing squad Sept 12. 1860.
