Chances" after its six months run at
the Belasco and George VI. Cohan Thea
ters, New York. when it begins a week s
engagement at the BeIasco Theater next
week
1t was written by Roi Cooper Megrue,
who already has to his credit such we'll
known stage successes as Under Cover -
Under Fire" and 1T Pays to Adver-
tise." The story revolves around a young
bachelor, with a distinct aversion to the
fair sex, who suddenly finds himself
obliged to marry within twenty-fOur
hours or lose a large fortune left by his
grandfather. His efforts to secure a wife
from seven eligible girls. each OF whom
refuses his suit. and his unconscious love
for a girl whom he eventually wins, are
the basis OF three hours of clean and
wholesome fun.
The play will be presented here by the
entire original cast, which embraces such

ACTRESS OBLIGED TO Be
ALMOST SELF.TRAINED
Stage Dispenses with Formal Prepar-
ation." Says Miss Berlein.

THE stage is almost the only pursuit
which largely dispenses with formal
preparation" says Annie Mack Berlein,
who will be seen in one of the principal
roles in ATLAS" the new play by Willard
Mack from short story by John A.
Moroso. which David Belasco is to pre-
sent for the first time on any stage at
the Belasco Theater this week
AN actress is comparatively self-in-
structed. She acquires the mastery of
her art by unfiagging personal applica-
ton, and. except in the mechanical part
of it. or what is termed stage business,
she derives little advantage from the ex-
perience OF others.
"A good actress must be a good study.
Inability to memorize begets the slovenly
habit Of endeavoring to retain the sense
instead of the words of the author, and
this not infrequently disqualiaes a per-
former completely. The pursuit of ex-
cellence becomes toll. which is relin-
quished for that less painful mediocrity
which will secure a livelihood, although
1t will never lead to fame or fortune"

Viola Dana, will grace the screen in an

BILLY SUNDAY LAUDS
BEN,HUR" PRODUCTION
Says He'd Like to Talk to $4,000 Peo-
pie After They Had Seen Show.

Billy Sunday. the evangelist, advises
everybody to SEQ "Ben-Hur." Here are
his words:
Ben-Hur.' with its powerful effects,
its galloping horses in the chariot race,
typical Of mans mad race for happiness,
It's slaves. its lepers, and its beautiful
light that irradiates the world, Is like a
plow digging into mems thoughts and
stirring their con ciences. I'd like moth
Ing better than to talk to $1,000 men and
women just after they had seen Ben
Hur.'
"A hundred million people ought to see
the play, for the play is the thing
IF II were possible to do It. I'd arrange
for every school child and every young
boy and man and woman to see 'Ben-Hur'
nrst and then hear sermons about 1t.
There Is IN the stage a marvellous power
that goes to waste. hope that theatrical
managers seeing Lew wallace's Ben
Hur crowded to the roof will realize that
the people like what is good and true.
advise everybody to see Ben-Hur.'
William Jennings Bryan says:
Il have enjoyed 'Ben-Hur' as the
greatest play on the stage today. when
measured by its religious tone and moral
effect II tells a wonderful story in a
thrilling way and leaves a profound i'm
preston upon the mind and heart"

INGENIOUS WATER SYSTEM

While camping in the Sierras some time
ago. members of a.. Western outing club
improvised a water tystem which worked
effectively and proved to be a great con-
venience. according to the Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A water wheel of
medium size was placed in a swift noun
tain stream about 80 feet below the point
where the tents were pitched. A small
pump was set on either side and the pis-
ton OF each connected with a crank ex-
tended from the axle. The water was
forced to a canvas tank constructed on
the slope above. From there it was con-
veyed to the camp through a rubber hose
A continuous flow of water was thus
provided and much inconvenience averted
by a small expenditure. With the proper
materials at hand. an apparatus of this
kind can easily be constructed in camn

This is a day of balancing good and
evil, according to astrology. While Mer-
curry is strongly adverse, Venus rules for
benef1o purposes.
1t is a most unfavorable day for writ
ing letters, especially to fiancees or those
bound by ties of love.
Under this sway petty worries and
anxieties may assume undue Importance.
1t Is sinister Tor domestic peace
Mercury in evil place is supposed to
encourage hasty and bitter speech. 1t is
we'll to set a guard over the tongue.
while this configuration prevails
Journeys, changes and removals are
subject to the most disappointing rule
of the stars. This is especially true, if
business missions are undertaken.
Under this direction of the stars dis.
turbance of the stomach and whole di-
gestive tract are supposed to multiply.
The nervous system Is most easily upset
and the mind assumes an attitude of un-
certainty. sensitiveness and despondency.
Warning is given that a serious mis-
take on the part of an envoy or a dfplo-
mat of the United States may cause trou-
BILE with one of the allies.
In the evening of this day Venus has
a kindly sway held to encourage love az

IN writing, should be lucky.
Again agitation concerning maria pe
laws Is foretold and this may involve
demands relating to the protection of
women and children through some dowry
system.
Art has the best possible sway at this
time and many rare possessions will come
