"Everywoman," in many ways the
most talked-about play OF recent
years, is to be offered by Henry w.
Savage at the Grand Wednesday

made such ar extraordinary success
in England in addition to its Ameri-
can triumphs, has been witnessed by
four million people during the seven
years which have elapsed since its
first performance. There has never
been No. road company. Mr..
Savage is bringing his own great or
ganization, the one and only Every
woman" company.
."Fverywoman" is clever adm1x-
ture of grand opera, drama and must
cal comedy, and yet, strictly speak
ing. It does not belong to one OF the
three classes.
.Eyerywoman'' is chapter in the
life of every woman. 1t is pilgrim
age in quest of love, a portrayal OF
universal experience. Everywoman,
the central figure, whose life story
ia the motif Of the play, Is a beau
tiful. refined and accomplished young
woman. She is of our day and the
warnings which fill her soul are
those which every woman knows.
An unsatisfed longing in her heart
for love-for great overwhelming
loye-takes her from the flreside OF
her home out into the mystery OF
life.
The production Is on vast scale
and represents cash outlay of up.
ward of sixty-thousand dollars. 1t is
considered by Henry w. Savage as
his greatest triumph as producer
The cast is long one and includes
fhirty-seven speaking characterse.
The leading and title role Is played
nv Paula Shay, beautiful young
woman considered by many the best
"Eyerywoman" Mr.. Savage has ever
had.
The accompanying music is one OF
the features 1t is symphonic IN
character and includes twenty-six
numbers which were especially COM
posed for "Everywoman" by George
Whitefield Chadwick, dean OF the
New England conservatory OF music
of Boston. A special orchestra is
carried by the organization to prop
erly render the score. The costumes
for the production are especially rich.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"rhe Princess Pat.n

Enchanting music and an unusual
ly bright book and lyrics according
to the critics elsewhere, accounts for
the immense success that is being
enjoyed by the latest Victor Herbert
Henry Blossom musical play THE
Princess Pat" which comes to the
Grand Saturday, matinee and night,
straight from its run of over six
months at the Cort theatre, New
York. That interesting and humorous
book and lyrics and enhancing music
can be created by Blossom and Her
bert respectively, is best proven by
their earlier combined achievements
which includes Mile Modiste' and
1.-THE Prima Donna" two operas in
which FRITZ Scheff starred and 1.-The
Red MILL" vehicle that was valu-
able to Montgomery and Stone. The
story Of "The Princess Pat" is built
around the endeavor OF the Princess
di Montaldo (nee Patrice O'Connor,
otherwise known as Pat) to win back
the warm affection of her Italian hus-
band who latterly has shown signs
OF Indifference toward his viyacious
young Irish wife. That the witty ana

American Refugees.
LONDON. Feb. 20.-The problem or

from Germany, constantly growing IN

sistant chief Of stan.
The fact that three Of these ON
GERS now comamnd army depart
partm ents is believed to preclude the
possibility OF one of them becoming
commander of the southern depart
ment. Bliss, as assistant chief OF
stafr, probably would not be relieved,
SO Pershing is believed to be the
logical man. His long experience on
the border, 1t is admitted, hts him
peculiarly for the command
Although Secretary Baker 10 ex-
pected to act quickly in view OF the
present Mexican and European
troubles. there has been no him as
to his probable decision.
General Funston became MEM
Der of the United States army after
a career in the Cuban army during
the war with Spain. He had previ-
ously been a newspaper reporter,
combining this experience with being
an officer of the law, during which
time he single handed arrested
two hundred pound bad man.
He quit the Cuban army when fifty
guerillas were lined up against wall
and shot against his advice. He was
captured on his way from the front
and saved his life by swallowing
letter which would have betrayed his
identity. He became brlgadier gen.
eral after his capture of the Filipino
chieftain Aguinaldo, ana remained at
that rank until elevated by President
Wilson.
His Last OFFICIAL Act.
SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Feb. 20
Practically the last official act OF
General Funston was the designation
of dates for departure of militia con-
tingents under the recent order OF
the war department which will send
home the $4,000 national guardsmen
remaining on the border.
The guardsmen. In two groups OF
$4,000 each, will leave the border at
the rate Of about six thousand a
week. 1t is estimated that about $50
trains will be required to move these
troops and that two months will be
consumed in the movement.
