William H. Crane, whose delft and subtle comedy art has given to the American stage some of the greatest characteristics in the history of the atricals, is to appear in new play, "The Happy Stranger" by Harvey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford. at the Orpheum theatre, Tuesday, May 1st
 Mir Crane will be seen for the first time in a role Of mystery and the play is said 10 furnish him one of the best vehicles of his long and famous car ger as a star.
 William H. Cranes exquisite crafts manship, which makes art as natural as lift, the beauty of his diction. and the innate grace and finish of the ve- riest trifes of his lightest comedy. to- gether with the appealing human in terest he is able to instill in his more serious moments. have given him a ! lace unique among American actors. His amazing virility and youth and fresh inspiration after over half a cen ,tury of acting-Crane has perhaps created more notable roles than any other player-proclaim him at the height of his creative power. And since "The Happy Stranger" is play of tenderness and whimsy. of fun and poetry. of horse sense" and human nature. there is deal of delight 10 be anticipated in what Mir. Crane will do with the play and what the play will do for Mir. Crane. The role which MT Crane will portray is that of an Australian miner returned "as from the dead" and uncertain of his identi- ty, whose heart tells him he is the father of Patricia Molloy, and whose head tells him that for twenty years he has been building up serious ob- stacles to his qualifying as the first husband of Dr. Sylvester's wife There are said tO be the tantiliZing elements of Stockton's Lady or the Tiger" in the plot of "The Happy Stranger" but with the irresistible young love story. too.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
 !. EXISTED YEARS PAST
Hawthorne, Who Wrote "The Scarlet Letter" Felt Pinch of Hunger In His Home.

With all of us worrying about the dizzy altitude that the cost of living has already reached, and asking our selves how many more square meals we are going to get it is interesting to learn that there was once a time when beef and mutton and butter and eggs were really staples of life.
 Here are some sample prices taken from a letter by Mrs. Nathaniel Flaw thorne to her mother in 1S50-when her husband was waiting for his first pay envelope from the publisher of 'The Scarlet Letter" which appears in motion pictures at the Eagle thea tre today. that classic which has just been photodramatized by William Fox.
 We give cents a quart for the best of milk. Butter is IA cents a pound, and eggs Il and 12 cents dozen; potatoes. very good ones, shillings a bushel. The most superb buckwheat, 62 cents for 24 pounds: wood, 3 and dollars a cord; charciol S cents a bushel; veal. cents a pound; mutton, , cents; beef. at 9 cents."

The bombardment scenes of The Girl Philippa," the special eight-reel Vitagraph production from the novel by Robert w. Chambers. which was directed by S. Rankin Drew, starring Americas daintiest actress, Anita Stewart. are remarkably vivid and re- alistic.
 For the realism of this picture, which is the attraction at the Orphe- um theatre on Sunday and Monday the Vitagraph Company erected a French village in their immense op- en air studio. Here cobble stones were laid for the street, skirted on either side by the rough sidewalks be- fore the quaint two-stcry houses with the gable roofs. In the center of the public square they placed the fountain which sings. a happy song of peace and contentment in the first part of the picture as it tinkles into the large stone basin.
 Then the neighboring country was searched for rough market wagons, such as the French peasants use on market day when they bring their goods into town from the country Eventually it was found necessary to build them from a valuable model. A large flock of sheep was then install ed with the old shepherd and his crook. Hundreds of extra people were dressed as French peasants, and they may be seen strolling arm in arm and in groups as they buy and sell goods.
 But the enemy is merciless in its effort to gain victory, and suddenly the peaceful inhabitants are startled by the bursting of a shell in the viii lage square. As they fee hither and thither in confusion, the people run from the different houses and the en- emy may be seen pressing forward iH the distance. Now one aircraft after another circles over the previously peaceful town. dropping horrible death-dealing shells into the modest homes. The air is filled with smoke and the frantic forms of the villagers are hardly discernible.
 Furniture dragged from the houses is placed on either side of the fOun tain. forming a barricade. Now one house falls; then as it catches fire the flames extend to the next building The girl Philippa, played by Anita Stewart. is in terror lest the house which holds the proofs to her right full heritage nobility-be destroyed before she can enter the wine-ceilar and obtain the precious papers which are concealed in safe. Toward the house she runs as though on wings, and it is only by the merest chance that she reaches it in time to claim what is rightfully hers.

HOLLAND IS NENACED

London, Feb. 2G.-Late and accu-

at is. perfectly true" says the
informant, who had just returned to
Holland from Germany, "that the
towns and villages near the Dutch
frontier are crowded with troops.
For instance, Emmerich, which US
ually has had 800 men, now has three
regiments.
"But I have seen and spoken with
many of these men and also with
their officers. They are not fighting
troops, but mostly old men and Sec
ond-class troops. They are rotten
lot, but very numerous.

tended partly to suppress smuggling
and partly to protect the German
frontier in case of invasion by Eng
land. This concentration of troops
has. however, led to a belief that they
may be intended to invade Holland.
'The people believe devoutly that
Holland sends 10 times as much food
to England as to Germany, and since
they know what huge quantities go
to Germany you can see how they re-
gard Holland as country simply
blocked up with spare food.
"Now, about the state of health of
the people, I watched the children
fairly for a time. They do not look
thin, but there is striking look of
listlessness about them. Among
girls of IA to 20 you notice that the
eyes are flat and have no sparkle, and
that the whole attitude is listless and
lifeless. Despite denials, know that
the death rate is very high, and the
reason is that if illness or disease
gets hold Of person there is no
strength or stamina left to throw it
off; consequently, despite German
medical science and precaution, quite
harmless illnesses frequently take a
fatal turn.

and even among the soldiers and
junior officers and non-commissioned
officers, with whom | often talked,
the only ones who show any war
keenness are those who have not yet
been to the front.
Naturally, there is much discon-
tent, but there is no rioting, for the
following reason: The system of po-
lice espionage and information by
amateur spies is amazing. If dis
contented person begins murmuring,
he or she is seized and taken before

do more than get the discriminating
