''For some reason" said Paula,
although our play was proving a
great success, we could not extend
the engagement any longer. Already
we had heightened our stay twice
and had played twenty-five weeks I'M
stead of ten for which we first con-
tracted.
Another production was clamor-
ing for its rights to our playhouse
and we could not find an idle theater
in all New York. When 1 arrived at
the theater one night, saw the order
posted:
Owing to the inability of the
manager to get a theater in New
York, the members OF the Woman
He Chose company will leave for
Philadelphia next Sunday at 1 p. m
CAS- usual everyone was greatly
excited in the week that followed.
Many had to shut up or sublet apart
ments. Some Of the people did not
want to leave New York and others
were glad to go.
Even I was quite surprised as
Earnest had not told me a wOru
about it. This moving of actors and
actresses like pawns on a chess board
is one of the peculiar ways of doing
business in the theater.
81 remember a dear friend of mine
who was a splendid actor, a leading
man of parts, who would say when
ever he started out to obtain an en-
gagement: Pm going to stop this
business, Paula, and get job in a
butcher shop. There, if 1 once de-
mOnstrated that I could cut beef
steak or sell sausage, I'd be taken
at my proper valuation, but in the
theatrical profession each time I go
after a job nothing that have done
before counts. 1 am treated abso-
IUteIy like a newcomer
This, of course, does not apply to
the stars, but, in a way, that makes
the system so much worse SDIeO-

Mercy" said Paula as she paused
for breath, here 1 have been giving
you the inside dope as Emma would
say, of the stage, and started in to
tell you about our leaving for Phila-
deIphia.
Ruth Dayton especially did not
want to go on the road and she look
ed at me so peculiarly when I told
her I'd be mighty glad to get away
from New York.
Why, they say, Paula she said,
that nice, much tUbbed-looking Eng
fish lord is desperately in love with
you and that the stage is again going
to give wife to British nobility
Now, my dear Ruth, you know
better than that I exclaimed. 4 con-
fess have been flirting with him a
little, but it was more to devil Aunt
Rachel and the girls than anything
else. He is a nice chap, isn't he?
But somehow, don't seem to take to
these nice chaps.
You have met Jeff Perrygreen,
haven't you Ruth? Well, I think JEFF
quite the incest chap I know, and he
has the advantage over me LODI of
being an American, but even at that
1 can't see dear old JEFF as husband.
Perhaps it is because I am welded
to my art l added rather fiippantly.
No, dear answered Ruth Day
ton quietly. 1T is not because you
are welded to your art.
What is it them I asked in
amazement.

have to, ask me that was her am

HoLLWEG'S FALL DUE TO oPPc- SETON TO ELECTORAL
 REFORMS.
RUSSIAN MINISTER QUITS
Germany's Censorship Has Concealed Full Story of Political Strife Which
 Has Culminated in Downfall
 of the Empires Statesman.

London.-Kaiser Wilhelm has ac- cepted the resingation of his imperial chancellor, Theobald von Bethmann- Hollweg and has appointed Dr. George Michaelis, under secretary of finance for Prussia and a privy counsellor in his place.
 An official German wireless dis patch with the information was an- nounced by the British admiralty.
 No further details were given Un- doubtedly, however, the whole Holl- veg cabinet has fallen.
 Chancellor Hollweg, in company with other members of the Prussian ministry, submitted his resignation to the kaiser several days ago.
 Dr. George Michaelis has been un- der secretary of state for finance and is one of the empires private coun- sel. He has not figured extensively in recent political discussions in Ber- lin.
 The announcement was made here by the admiralty which intercepted this message from Berlin:
 "Bethmann-Hollweg has resigned. Dr. Michaelis, Prussian finance un- der secretary, has been appointed chancellor"
 Official confirmation was had ear Her in the day that the Prussian min- ister of war, Gen. von Stein, had re- signed, and that his retirement had been approved by the kaiser.
 The resignations of all the Prus- sian cabinet were formally rendered the kaiser several days ago, when the German political situation be- came acute. The emperor delayed acceptances of several of these, but delayed dispatches from Berlin men, toned that neither Minister of the Interior Helfferich nor Minister of Insurrection Solz of the Prussian min istry had been in attendance at recent meetings of that body, indicating their imperial master had dropped them from his official list of counsellors.
 In dropping Hollweg-changing pi- lots in the midst of Germany's great est crisis internally as we'll as exter- nally-the kaiser has abandoned one of his oldest friends. The two became friends back in the days when the kaiser, as the Crown Prince William, attended the University of Bonn. Through all the years since then Hoil- veg has served his royal friend faith fully.
 Germany's censorship has concealed the full story of the political strife which has now eliminated in the downfall of the empires most astute and most powerful politician and statesman. The reformers who preci- pitated the crisis originally marked Hollweg for destruction purely be- cause of his individual refusal to ac- quiesce in their demands for wide electoral reforms and for pledge that Germany's peace aims do not contemplate annexations./ Then later dispatches reported that the Center party revolters and the Radicals who joined with them to assume control i'll the Reichstag were opposed to Hollweg's retirement, being fearful that his successor would be even less amenable to reform influences than Hollweg.
