Tolstoi and is, to date, Miss Nansen's

The story of Anna is as old as time,

learns that he is false she takes the

BAKER PICTURES
BEGIN TONIGHT

When asked regarding the ticket
sales for his picture exhibit, R. j..
Baker said today that they had been
very satisfactory and that the inter
est being shown was much greater
than he had expected. The Territori-
al Messenger Service on Union street
is handling the tickets for Mr.. Baker.
The program, which was announced
yesterday, shows many unusual fea-
lures. Instead of any speaking there
win be music during the entire even
ing. A printed Program gives the
titles and descriptive matter for the
pictures. There are many pictures OF
more than ordinary interest. A view
of Kalapapa (the leper settlement
on Molokai from the cliff is one that
many desire but few have the oppor-
tunity to see. The deck sports on
board the steamers are shown full OF
life and action. The canyons and wa
terfalls of the outside islands are
shown together with their splendid
coloring and cloud effects have always
been feature with Baker. 1t might
also be mentioned that the "Haole
Hula Dancer" is one of the latest cap
lures of Mr. Bakers camera. .s
The exhibit is going to be both to-
night and tomorrow night and begins
promptly at 8 o'clock. ..-~...

That's where the Seven Keys to
Baldpate come in-Baldpate being the

logue ends with Magee just settling

verdict last night, referring to all the
plays the Lytell-Vaughan company
has presented to date. The current
offering gives every member of the
cast something really worth while to
do. 49,. ..-E
The dominant figure is Magee
played by Bert Lytell, and he de-
serves to carry of the honors, as he
does in almost every scene. His work
is sure, vigorous and particularly fine
because he keeps the whole bewilder-
ing story moving just between the
real and the pretended. His is mag
netic presence and yet at all times he
is willing to subordinate his role
where needful and let some other char
acter hold the stage. Through ten
or fifteen minutes last night he mere
ly sat and watched the others. 49,.
Miss Evelyn Vaughan's lines are
brief and the role is not a particu.
larry large one, but she makes it as
clean-cut as cameo. deft character

rest of the company share pretty

An amazingly clever play is this of
the inimitable George Cohan. The
author, with that deftness of touch
which has redeemed him from tawdri-
ness, burfesque stage patriotism and
mock heroics, in this two-act show
laughs at himself, at his theme, at
the audience, at the critics, at popu-
lar matchmaking and at melodrama.
And in the midst of the farcial
turns OF plot which develop with the
suddenness of explosions, there runs
a strong vein of melodramatic story,
saved from grotesqueness by the fact
that, as you view it from ''the front"
you half suspect it's all joke on
somebody anyway, and are quite pre-.
pared to believe it's on you.
For. the sake of the three thousand
or more people who are going to see
this splendid show tonight and tenor
row night, the present critic won't
spoil the story by telling about 1t.
Enough to say that William Hollowell
Magee goes to a summer hotel shut
up in the dead of winter to win a bet
that he can write a 10000 word story

The Two-Thirds Rule.

thus cleared, why not, then, ask the
champions Of majority rule, put party
procedure in this matter on a majority
basis?
For years there has been a growing
impatience with the old order; and as
some believe, it would long since have
been abolished if the objection had
been properly pressed. It has appeared
strange and illogical that the party
calling itself democratic should not in
everything be guided by majority sen,
