in sawdust" is the verdict of those
who took part this week in White

as clear as crystal and ID inches thick

something that makes a noise like a

just now.

The paraphernalia of the Maude Adams
company was being unloaded at the door
OF theatre In Michigan the other day.
An important-looklng individual found his
way to the stage and, approaching some
men who were at work connecting wires,
demanded information.

And in her own company Maude Adams

ment. There is not thing connected with
her productions that does not get her per-
sonal attention. For years she has made
a study of stage lighting. and probably
knows as much about II as any man in
the profession. There are said TO be more
new patented devices used in stage light
ing by Miss Adams in her productions
than by any other company on the road.
All that Miss Adams asks of any theatre
in which she plays is plenty of electric
current; she will furnish the necessary
switchboard, DINNERS and lamps. She
doesn't want any scenery, the bare walls
of the stage are enough for her, and, if
necessary, she will put in a curtain. When

On With the Dance! |!
Society and Stage

The dancing craze which has swept over
the country is responsible for the entrance
of a number of society girls into a stage
career, Among the most prominent is
Diana Lemee, who has taken small part
In the new musical comedy, "Come to Bo-
hemia," which will have it's metropolitan
premiere at the Forrest April 3, Two
other society girls are also in the cast,
Mabel Guilford, of the famous Baltimore
family, and the Baroness Won Ulm.
Dancing" said Miss Lemee, in explain
ing why she had taken up stage career,

sense OF independence. Society Is not

one except those who are old enough to

10 the stage, this time as decorator.
In the theatre, too, individuality should
be the keynote, instead OF blind follow
ing OF foreign fashion. In Colonial times
our art was charming, because il was the
natural expression OF the needs of the
people. Then came the following after
false gods. and we dressed up our homes
with unnatural French elegance or Italian
heaviness or English severity, when II was
not suitable at all. Now we are beginning
to realize that beautiful as an Italian villa
is on the shores OF the Adriatic, il may
not be at all suited TO the shores OF an
American river or lake.

in the Wrong Place.

There are men today who are wrecks
because they are droning their lives
away in city bank when their whole
nature demands life on the farm. There
are farmers who would make splendid
brokers. They are miserable, disSatis-
fed, and even i'll on the farm. There
are failures in law offices who could
build first-class automobiles. There is
here In Houston a waiter in Il restau-
rant who could sell pair of gold spec
tacles to blind man. They are all
out of place and they know it. But
they do not know where or how to
remedy the matter. And with the
years come dissatisfaction with life,
worry, Illness perhaps, and hopeless
ness always. Half the criminals are
made just that way. They are not al
together to blame. Society in general
must share with the responsibility as
it does In the punishments.-Hou

alternate links of blue and silver give
an attractive effect. The paper costs
