Wall street and western buying was in

the incentive needed for bringing about d

brighter as a result.
At one time prices were about 50 q bale

their cotton back home rather than to sell
it at the prices current.

in any way relates to Mr.. Dale's pub
hshed, novel of about twenty-five
years ago, called "a Marriage Be-

ate for its principal character. Mr..

is OF rather ? SENSATIONAL nature
and he says that he intends to pro-
duce it with the most formidable cast
he has ever assembled. A prelimi-
nary engagement will be played in
Washington, and S9hen comes the

Many will be curious to learn the
attitude of Mr.. Daie's colleagues.
There is a tradition, not entirely
without foundation of fact, that
newspaper men as a class resent the
efforts of their brethren to achieve
advancement outside of their profes-

watch the attitude of playerfolk at

less many Of them will gladly accept

new Rialto Theater at Ninth and G

important announcements from the
Moore Offices. The Rialto, which, &C
cording to blue-prints and architects
drawings, is going to be one of the
finest and most complete picture
houses in the East, is to be ready
for occupancy within FIVE months
under contractors guarantee. The
supply of labor and materials now
available are thought ample to justify
the contractors promise. The Rialto,
however, represents but a small part
Of the building plans Of its owner.
The Moore string Of theaters is to be
increased to at least nine and perhaps
twelve. There will be q house in each
