Stage Folk Visit Mrs.
Welding, Once Star in
"MikadO."
BELLE BAKER, ABSENT,
SENDS BIG BOUQUET
lack Pollard, Mrs. Russ and MISS
Jocelyn Among Guests at
Hospital "Show."

For five long years Mrs. Rose Cook
Welding has lived in the past. Some
times the bricks in the row OF houses
across the way from the Home for IN
curablcs would form themself magi-
cally into a stage and she would again
net the part of Katisha, in the
"Mikado." Occasionally the picture OF
hor dear friend Charles Frohman
would rouse into life and speak about
old times with her from its niche above
her bed.
Thus the wears have been dragging
for Mrs. Welding. But yesterday
raw of light was thrust into the drap
of her waning life. A younger genera
ton of actors and actresses came TO
entertain her and other scores Of dim
eyed waiting men and women.
"When Mahomet cannot come to the
mountain" said the little wise woman
of the new Bagdad with wry smile
"the mountain will come TO Mahomet.
Kate Bradley. who dances Russian
step on roller skates. didn't look much
like a mountain. Wyatt's Scotch Lads
and Lassies were far from being colos-
sal and statuesque, likewise Bancroft
and Broske, song artists. Anyhow, the
men and women of the home applauded
them heartily.
Mrs. Welding and the others had
wanted to hear Belle Baker sing and
act. but Miss Baker couldn't come. 80
instead she sent her manager with
flowers, white and pink and red show
ers of them, for the members "of the
profession" who now could only dream
of the footlights and packed houses and
cues.
There was Jack Pollard, seventy
wears old. who used to act, but dropped
il for the Job Of protecting chorus girls
from stage Johnnies. Two years ago
the malady that will take him away
from this earth encroached upon his
Job as doorkceper. There was Mrs.
Russ. who was Nadia in Michael Stro-
rof" and knew Augustin DAILY well.
Miss Jocelyn, a nice little old lady, who
didn't look at all different from ones
own grandmother. had acted with Rich
ard Mansfield. And then there was
white-haired, blue-eyed Rose Cook
Welding. -.
at was ever so kind Of Miss Baker,
she said, burying her face in the car
nations. 81 remember when was
young, too, and clipper enough to trip
across the stage" 49,
"Was that long time ago. Mrs.
Welding was asked.
well, I'm a child, you know-second
childhood. I'm just seventy-one years
old. My lad, can remember Gilbert
and Augustin Daily and Booth as
though they stood in front Of me. IL
was Gilbert who asked me TO be the
first Katishs in The Mikado.' | used

Chief as Anti-German.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-opening a
campaign against the denomination Of
Woodrow Wilson in a statement here
tonight, George Fred Williams, the
Presidents own sppointee as Minister
to Greece, who was recalled for rash
public statements, denounced the Presi-
dent as imperialistic and snti-Cerman.
"War has three essential elements
he declared, money, munitions and
men. We are already furnishing money
and munitions to one party Of bel
lgerents, and when we attempt to tell
their enemy how our belligerent friends
may be attacked we lack little Of

concluded, "to discuss the advisabilIty
OF the denomination Of President VIII

pneumonia ever since he was taken
from his warm home and started on
his journey Northward. where it SHOWS

Three times during the passage he
was apparently on the verge OF giving
up the ghost, and each time he changed
owners. A monkey of his type is worth

Farewell Wednesday.
COACHING PARTY
TO ADVERTISE BALL
Girls with Bugles and Banners
viii Remind Town of Big
March 7 Carnival.

The saddest party the sufragists ever
managed is scheduled for Wednesday
next. The sufragists know II is going
TO be a melancholy occasion, and that Is
why they want everybody to come wear
ing their gladdest rags to cheer things
up ms much as possible.
Invitations announce yellow conch-
ing party. Nothing melancholy about a
coaching party. Of course, but that Is
not the who.e of the programme. After
the trip about town. blowing bugles'
waving yellow flags and dazzling Broad
wav with the first public view OF the
yellow caps and ruifs designed for the
Suffrage Carnival Ball at Madison
souare Garden on March z, the coach
ing fans will return to 663 Fifth Ave
nue. for the weeps. 1t will be the last
psrty at that address.
No. Cos Fifth Avenue is to be taken
away from the suffragists. Yes, the

leaders of the cause have expounded l's

Sufrragists were so downcast yester-
dav they didn't know nor care 10 whom
