 It is quite likely that we know as much about actual conditions that exist there as do the British government officials, but an under standing of the situation in Ireland was never the strong point of the London governments genius.

Letters to Nome convey particu- lars of the latest strike in the Koy- uk country which is said to be l bona fide. One letter from a man who was on the spot said that twelve holes were sunk and pay To- cated in two. Thomas Gaffney in- forms this paper that the pay found he was told when at Dime creke, consisted of several feet of ten cent dirt at the bottom of one shaft.
 
 In the Eagle Hall seven repeated reels will be shown Sunday night. Mary Fuller stars in the headliner three reel Victor Comedy that ends well when the soap kings daughter marries the scion of Knickerbocker family and Mama marries the duke. An industrial reel entitled Liquid Bread is full of instruction and interest. It Happened on A Friday, is a Nestor Comedy well acted. A Coats Coat is some class picture of the farce variety, while a Universal Weekly showing war scenes and our growing navy is of never failing interest. This is a well balanced program.

 Duffy O'Connor left yesterday for Golovin to attend 10 the Hettie B. He is intending to launch the boat out over the ice to open water or until the craft breaks through He will then cruise up the coast and expects to be riding safe when the ice goes out from here, ready for the spring business. There is a amount of freight to go down to Dime creek as soon as the ice goes out and there is likely also to be considerable competition for the carriage of it to the Koyuk. l At least five boats have siguified in- tentions of leaving for Dime on the first trip after the ice goes out.

As a film star Maxine Elliott will be seen
by thousands Of amusement patrons who
never beheld her before the footlights. Her
road tours in drawing room comedies were
necessarily confined to the larger cities
Tho democracy of motion pictures has
changed all this. Miss Elliott's art will ne
exhibited throughout the land Her new
picture, which was made by the Goldwyns,
is entitled Fighting Odds" and 1t will be
shown a the Stanley Theatre all next week
Tho scenario is the work of Roi Cooper
Megrue, whose successful plays "Und, r
Cover" and Under Fire" earned the face
tious title of the underwater" and Irwin
Cobb, the popular humorist.
Miss Elliotts statuesque beauty has oc-
casionally provoked rumor that she was
of British birth. She IS, indeed not far
from Du Maurier's ideal Of n handsome
woman. But its New and not Old Eng
land that rightly claims this artist.
She was born at Rockland, Me, the
daughter of a sea captain. She was chris
tened Jessie Dermot, and bore the name
unth, at the age Of sixteen she crystalllzed
her determination TO become an actress
She had just been graduated from the Con-
vent of Notre Dame, at Roxbury, Mass.
From there she went to New York and
placed herself under the guidance of the
celebrated Irish actor and dramatlst, Dion
Bouclcault, who was then at the zenith Of
his career. 1t was Boucicault who sug-
gested the name of Maxine Elliott. Her
rise was rapid, and from her first engage
ment with j.. S. Willard in THE Middle
man" she soon was playing important roles
in support of Rose Coghlan. With that fine
actress she appeared in Diplomacy" and
Forget Me Not" In subsequent years she
created leading parts in many stage sue
cesses under the management OF Augustin
DAILY. After her marriage to Nat c. Good
win, later set aside, she was costarred
with him In several dramas written es-
pecially for them by Clyde Fitch. 1t was
Fitch who aided her to her first independent
venture as star when he wrote "IIer own
Way" In 1908 her name was given TO
new theatre, a playhouse Of the intimate
type, on Thirty-ninth street, New York. She
was one of the first women to own and
operate theatre in the eastern metropolis
This theatre is conducted for her now by
another management under a contract
which has the unique clause that it must

SMART FRENCH PLAY
TO BE STAGED HERE

Announcement was made yesterday by
Leonard Blumberg, Philadelphia representa-
tive of Mr.. Shubert, that on November IL
the former will produce at the Walnut
street Theatre for the first time in America
new comedy which aroused enormous In
terest when 1t was first done i'm Paris sew
eral years ago. This play will be produced
in America under the title of 1.-THE Wise
Virgin" 1t is free adaptation by William
A. Page of a French comedy by Edouard
Bourdet, entitled lie Rubicon." The rights
to this play for America were originally
held by Charles Frohman, who intended to
produce the play before his death.
At one time the play was owned by the
Little Theatre management of Philadelphia,
when Mr.. Page was the business manager
of that enterprise. 1t was placed IN re-
hearsal, but owing to the extremely radical
nature of the play the sponsors of the Little
Theatre decided not to produce It, and IL
was withdrawn from rehearsal. Since then
Mr.. Page acquired the American and
Canadian rights on the French play and has
completely rewritten It, adapting all of the
scenes and characters to America. In it's
present state 1t is declared that the piece,
while exceedingly daring in it's central idea,
is treated with delicate touches of humor
void of offense, but rich in appeal TO modern
sophisticated audiences.
A cast of unusual brilliancy is being en-
gagged for the presentation of this play in
Philadelphia. In view of the fact that this
play created such q discussion in this city
when il was announced for production at
the Little Theatre, It is anticipated that
it's presentation under the managerial di-
rection of Mr. Blumberg will be of par
ticular interest.

DOORMAN'S TROUSERS
SAVED 18TH CHAIR"

Many funny incidents occur during the
atrical performances which, as rule, are
not utilized by the press agents for their
snecial stories, and here is one which took
nlaoe last Saturday night at the Adelphi
Theatre. where "Tho Thirteenth Chair" is
bIIIed. one of the actresses in the COM
many was taken violently i'll after the matt
nee performance on Saturday, but word Of
this was not received by the company man
ager until o'clock in the evening. The
company has n general sunderstudy for all
the feminine roles, but this understudy also
plays part, a small one, as this role was
introduced by the author in order to have
thirteen people in the seance scene. This
understudy was notified that she would
have to play the role Of the missing actress
but that left her own small part open. 1t
was I'D to tho manager to think, and think
fast general male understudy had been
sent over from New York the day before,
but he had not studied any of the roles yet
and was hardly expected TO be at the thea
ter that night. However, by luck, he showed
I'D at Sis o'clock, but his trunk had
not yet arrived, so that he did not have
the evening clothes which all tho actors in
the play wear. 1t would never do TO have
this player go on in street attire, although
he could go on as the extra character
making the thirteenth person a man instead
Of a woman. The manager remembered
that the orchestra all wore dinner jackets,
80 he rushed into the music room and
grabbed the coat and waistcoat from an
istonished Italian flute player Those gar
ments fitted tho actor, but not the trousers.
A hasty search was made, and finally it was
ascertained that Tommy" Strain, the door
man, wore u pair that would fit the actor.
Tommy was quickly dragged from his
position Of ticket-talling and compelled to
give up his trousers and hide away in
vacant dressing room during the entire per-
formance. Thus the show went on and not
one of the packed house knew how near he
came to missing the show and getting his
money back. TOmmy's trousers had saved
the day.

Geraldine Farrar Joins Goldwyn

Word comes from Los Angeles that Ger
aldne Farrar has signed a contract to ap-
pear in motion pictures with the Goldwyn
Pictures Corporation. 1t had been generally
supposed that the operatic and motion pic
ture star was linked up with the interests
of Paramount Those on the inside, how
ever, have known of this arrangement since
early last July, as it was at that time that
Lou Tellegen. the husband of the prima
donna, told of tho new agreement a Los
Angeles newspaper man. When the con-
tract with Goldwyn was signed, Miss Farrar
pledged Samuel Goldfish to make no capital
of the event in any way until her contract

tion had expired

handed her into the waiting elevator
and said, goodnight
On the day following the hindering
concrete failure at the dam, Smith
gave still more color to the charges
of his detractors in the business field.
Those whose affairs brought them in
contact with him found a man sud-
denly grown years older and harder,
boody and harshly dictatorial, not to
say quarrelsome; a man who seemed
to have parted, in the short space of
a single night, with all of the hu-
manizing affabilities which he had
shown to such marked degree in
the reorganizing and refinancing of
the irrigation project.
We've got our young Napoleon of
finance on the toboggan slide, at
last" was the way in which Mr..
Crawford Stanton phrased it for the
bejeweled lady at their luncheon in
the Hophra' cafe. "Kinzie is about to
throw him over, and all this talk
about botch-work on the dam is get
ting his goat. They're telling it
around town this morning that you
can't get near him without risking a
fight. Old Man Backus went up TO
his Office in behalf of a bunch of the
scared stockholders, and Smith
abused him first and then threw him
out bodily-hurt him pretty savage
ly, they say"
The large lady's accurately pen
ciled eyebrows went up in mild sur
prise.
Bad temper?" she queried.
BAD temper, or an acute attack of
'rattleitis'; you can take your choice.
I suppose he hasn't. by any chance,
quarreled with Miss Richlander
over -night?-or has he?"
The fat lady shook her diamonds.
'I should say not. They were at
luncheon together in the ladies' ordi-
nary as l came down a few minutes
ago"
Thus the partner of Crawford Stan
tons joys and sorrows. But an invis-
ible onlooker in the small dining
room above stairs might have drawn
other conclusions. Smith and the
daughter of the Lawrenceville mag
nate had a small table to themselves,
and if the talk were not precisely
quarrelsome, It leaned that way at
times.
"I have never seen you quite so
brutal and impossible as you are to-
day, Montague. You don't seem like
the same man. Are you going to re-
consider and take me out to the
Baldwin ranch this afternoon"

'I didn't think that of you, John;
sure didn't. Why, that's what you
might call a low-down. tin-horn sort
of game"
"It is just that, and I know It as
we'll as you do. But it's the price I
have to pay for my few days of
grace. Miss Richlander knows the
Stantons; they've made it their busi-
ness to get acquainted with her. One
word from her to Crawford Stanton,
and a wire from him to my home
town in the middle West would set
tie me-"
The old man Strengthened himself
in his chair, and his steel-gray eyes
blazed suddenly.
Break away from 'em, john" he
urged. Break it off short, and let
EN- all do their worst! Away along at
the first, Williams and I both said
you wasn't a crooked crook, and I'm
believing it yet. When it comes to the
showdown We'll all fight for you,
and they'll have to bring a derrick
along If they want to snatch you out
of the Timanyoni. You go over yon-
de- to the Hophra House and tell that
young woman that the briddle's off,
and she can talk all she wants to-"
No" said Smith shortly. Il know
what I am doing, and I shall go on
g 4ASNfO pSS Ill IL lllS OIlly way .
Matters are desperate enough with
us now, and if I should drop out"
The telephone bell was ringing and
Baldwin twisted his chair to bring
himself within reach of the desk set.
The message was brief one. and at
its finish the ranchman-president was
frowning heavily.
BY Jupiter! it does seem as if the
bad luck all comes in a bunch!" he
protested. Williams was rushing
things just a little too fast, and
they've lost a whole section of the
dam by stripping the forms before
the concrete was set. That puts us
back another twenty-four hours, at
least. Don't that beat the michief?"
Smith reached for his hat. It's six
O'clock" he said; "and williams
form-strippers have furnished one
more reason why I shouldn't keep
Miss Richlander waiting for her din
ner." And with that he cut the talk
short and went his way.
With a blank evening before her,
Miss Richlander, making the tete-a-
Ute dinner count for what it would,
tightened her hold upon the one man
available, demanding excitement.
Nothing else offering, she suggested

that my thoughts had been so busy
that l had forgotten to shake hands
with my employer.
"Oh,-good night" I stammered
again, trying to laugh. IT forgot
that I had not shaken hands with
you!"
His grip hurt my fingers, and
there was a disagreeable CLEAN in his
eyes. Although he, too, laughed,
there was no amusement in the
sound.
"Oh, I would not let you forget!
he rejoined, harshly. You may be
very sure of that"
1 almost snatched my hand from
him, and ran upstairs.
At the first landing I paused and
looked down. My employer had
turned away to lock the front door,
but Hugh Parker stood where I had
left him. AS I paused, he raised his
eyes and they met mine. Although
his look was calm and reassuring,
l fancied that l saw also an ex-
preston of perplexity on his face.
I would not look again. but went
on up to my room.
That night I dreamed of two men
the one to whom I had given a
lf-promise to which he had said
he would hold me- and the other.
who had told me he loved me, but
who had demanded no promise from
me.
