Statue by HOudOn

"UN washington's diary for Oct. 9,
1855, he writes that about II
o'clock, after they were In bed,
Mr.. Houdon and his three young
men assistants arrived, coming by boat
from Alexandria.
During the sculptor's two weeks
stay Washington sat for a bust that
was modelled In clay, writing in his
diary a full account Of the method of
mixing the plaster of paris and the
making OF the molds, process IN
which he was greatly interested. He
also submitted to the unpleasant op-
Grafton of having a life mask made of
his features In order to insure a per-
feet likeness. In the presence Of Mr..
Madison exact measurements Of his
figure were made and full details of
his uniform were noted to enable the
sculptor to complete his work.
"The clay bust was then left by the
sculptor at Mount Vernon, where It Is
one Of the most highly valued Of all
Of Mount yernon's relics of the Father
Of His Country. But the life mask
and molds of the bust Houdon himself
took to Paris, not trusting them to the
hands Of his assistant, for said he.

termined to perish with them
"One day during his stay at Mount
Vernon Washington was looking at
some fine horses with a view to their
purchase. but the high price asked by
the groom In charge SO incensed him
that the man was promptly sent away.
Houdon, who witnessed the transac-
tho, saw with an artists eye in Wash
ington's pose and expression the very
thing needed for his statue and made

him hither, went up Monday with his

"The statue, according to agreement,
was to be finished in three years, but
was not completed until 1850. Jeffer-
son saw the work as 1t progressed and
was enthusiastic over the likeness and

tor had caught."-H. A. Ogden in st.

WashingtOn's Life
In Brief

GORGE WASHINGTON,
III Father of His Country,
was born on Feb. %, 1892,
In westmoreland county, Va.
He received common Eng
lish education, and upon that
foundation, with the cardinal
virtues Of truth, integrity and
Justice, was built the structure
Of his greatness. When seven
teen years Of age he had become
one of the most accurate land
surveyors Of his time, and q year
later he was appointed public
surveyor. At the age Of nineteen
he was appointed adjutant gen.
eral Of militia, with the rank Of
major, but soon afterward re-
signed to accompany his invalid
half brother, Lawrence, to the
Barbados, where George was
Frustrated by smallpox. Law
renee died, and George thus be-
came the owner Of the fne e. !;
tate Of Mount Vernon, which he
owned and occupied until his
death.
When General Braddock came
to this country In 1865 to make
war on the French. Washington
was chosen his principal aid-de-
camp and accompanied him on
the march against Fort Du-
Quesne, at the site Of the pres
ent city Of Pittsburgh. After
Braddock's defeat and death
Washington skillfully directed
the retreat of the vanquished
troops. At the age Of twenty
seven he married Mrs. Martha
Gusts, a young widow. and they
took up their abode at Mount
Vernon. Washington was chosen
az a delegate to the first Cont
mental congress and In June,
1775. was appointed commander
In chief Of the Continental
armies. For eight years he d.
rected the heroic forces Of the
colonies In their struggle for in
dependence, and at the close Of
1888, having triumphed In the
- war. he retired to private life at
Mount Vernon. There he lived
the life Of a gentleman farmer,
paying close attention to all the
details Of estate management.
When. under the constitution
Of the new republic, a president
was to be chosen. all eyes were
turned toward Washington as
"the first American" and he
was elected by the unanimous
vote Of the people. his Inaugural
ton taking place on April 80.

laying the permanent founda-
lions Of the republic. Retiring
again to private life, he enjoyed
domestic happiness for nearly
three years, and then suddenly,
on Dec. II. 1850, the country was
called upon 20 mourn his death,
after an illness Of about twenty
four hours. His last words were,

THE THEATRE
Genesta Theatre.

Occasionally there comes motion
picture which dignifies the silent dra-
ma and lifts it far above the usual
banalities of the entertainment of the
screens.
1t is no wonder that the Rialto
Theatre was literally besieged all last
week during the exhibitions of Jean
Richepin's picture play Mother Of
France" The fact that Sarah Bern
hardt acted before the camera in one
of its roles is not the secret of the
publics great interest. The reason is
rather, that Mothers of France" was
recognized at once as the symbol of
the spirit of the French Republic i'm
the great war. Emotionaly the play
could not have been more powerful or
appealing if expressed in spoken dia-
logue, and the ability of the camera
tc overcome the restrictions of the
regular stages gave the scenes a real
ism which brought their message
home 10 every spectator.
But the entire production is a not
able one, not only for its effectiveness
but for its fine ideals. For future
generations it is quite sure to be one
