Ada Rehan.

au2 hCU8Hs
The death Of Ada Rehan can have
no erect on the present stage, but it
throws a vivid light upon it by con-
trast with the period of which Miss
Rehan was a central figure. The re-
greet at her death will be nowhere
greater than in brooklyn. where Miss
Rehan had her home for many years.
We commonly think of the great
English classic school as passing
with the death OF Edwin Booth. In
reality it lasted for some little time
longer, hut it's end really came with
the retirement Of Miss Rehan, whose
Katharine, ROsalind and Beatrice
were az distinctive and authorita-
tive Gmbodtments of the comedy ira
1itions of that school as were
Booths Hamlet and Iago OF its
tragic traditions. Actresses who
now seek to revive the glories OF
its comedy will DC at the same dis
advantage that Mir. Sothern was in
dealing with It's heroes, the disad-
vantage Of having been trained at
something else and NJ trying -
adapt a matured method to a styla
which they know only through
volumes OF "reminiscences and Old
portraits. Had the photograph and
the cinema been perfected In time
to DCrDetuate Booth in tragedy and
Miss Fehan and Ellen Terry in com

all future generations would have

more profitable.
Ada Rehan commanded or sparkled
with unfailing majesty or grace, az

ice in the same costume in which
the skating has been done. a warm
wrap should always be added. since
the body is more or less overheated
after the exertion.
Unlike those shown in the illus
tration. skating shoes should have
low. broad heels. not alone for the
comfort but for the safety OF the
weGrer. No skate can get a good
grip on the foot encased in a high
heel.
The boomers. as shown in this

WASHINGTON, Dec 4. Congress
assembled at noon today for the short
session which will mark the closing
OF President Wilson's first term.
With crowded program OF lcgisla.
ton foremost in which is the l'resi-
dents plan for railroad legislation, SEN
Gtors and representatives settled down
to work as Speaker Clark and Vice
President Marshall brought down the
gavels.
roday's opening was marked by the
usual flood of bills and resolutions,
many of which are expected to die in
committee with Congress itself on
March 4.
The energies of administration lead.
ers were at once concentrated on the
passage Of big supply bills necessary
for the conduct of the government and
upon limited program OF general leg

Speaker Clark declared the next

Four bills designed to touch the high

Two proposed food embargoes, one
would regulate the transportation of
cold storage food and another would
regulate the admission Of farm prod

A mass OF petitions was wiled in ia.
