MEMORIAL RESOLUTION.


behalf OF the members OF
the American Asiatic Association the
Executive Committee have to record
their sense OF the irreparable loss the
Association has sustained by the I'M
timely death OF its former President
and present member OF the Committee,
Major Willard Straight. Stricken in
the midst OF exacting duties performed
In the service OF his country. Major
Straight died as he had lived, an earnest,
devoted and self-sacrihcng patriot.
His associates on this Committee wha
have had ample occasion to appra !se
MS value as fellow-worker in the
task Of broadening the relations and
deepening the sympathy between the
United States and the peoples Of East
srn Asia, can testify to the fact that
In this field OF effort willard Straight
had no peer. His preparation for the
task. leading up through experience in
the consular and Diplomatic service to
responsible initiative in financial ne
Eotiat!ons and constructive enterprises
Of for-reaching import. was unique,
equally In kind and degree. It 10 the
simple truth that no man can MI the
place In the work OF Asiatic develop
ment and reconciIement which his
o"ath leaves vacant. Even in times
Ike these there is an exceptionally
tragic pathos abou: the interruption OF
career the brilliancy OF whose past
achievements was merely the earne Y
az services still more valuable to the
Immediate future OF Asia and to the
world at large. His associates have
lost resolute leader, a wise coun.
s"lor and well-beloved friend. His
country has lost a distinguished repre-
sentative OF the best type OF American
Ism and an authoritative exponent OF
her obligations and her true policy
toward Asiat!c millions with whom
her destiny Is indissolubly bound. Those
who knew him most intimately have
lost the companionship OF a man OF
rare personal charm. large-minded
liberation and warm hearted impulse,
WHOSE generous expression was the
Characteristic note OF nature of ex.
ctptional hneness OF temper.

TIE AUTHOR OF "DADDIEs.

The daddy Of "Daddies" came out
OF the West. He wouldn't speak thus
of Kansas now, but in the days when
John L. Hobble was born in a little

Mr.. Hobble watches nightly the pro-
duction of "Daddies," his first success

slips in and out of the theatre with an
absorbed interest in audiences and
play alike, for it's all like dream
come true-this brilliant success for
the comedy which he wrote with a
deep purpose.

whether they directly affect me or not,
but never in my life has anything so

at least they soon cease to be man
ayers. 1t is with this conviction that
the records of this department con-
fine their attention to those matters
In plays that happen on the other
side Of the footlights..
OF course there is nothing moro
mysterious to the observer from the
outside than the fact that Jane Doe
should receive so many hundreds Of
dollars for her appearance every week
while Mary Roe is regarded as worth
much less. OF course there Is a rea-
son. II there were not the compensa-
ton for both would be the same. But
the managers must be able to distin-
guish between the talents of the two.
Last week the general gloom of the
theatre managers who would SO love
to be ordered to shut up shop in order
that they might not be forced to pay
rent was dispelled long enough for
them to laugh at the plight Of one Of
their colleagues. He was suddenly
compelled to postpone a new play
through the sudden withdrawal of his
leading actress He Is known as a
most extravagant bidder for the SER
vices Of artists. The prices he is will
ing to pay them when they become
known astonish the public. But his
play had to be postponed because the
actress at the head of it's cast de-
handed that her salary be doubled be-
fore she consented to act in the new
play.
But This time the worm turned. The
manager, in other words. refused TO
make this sudden advance IL salary.
So it was necessary to postpone the
performance and seek another actress
for the leading role. Now she has been
found and the play viii soon be seen
But the pretty and talented leading
woman who expected to play the lead
ing role will not be seen just because
the manager who had lifted her from
cbscurity and gave hor the only op-
portunities she had ever had for sue
cess In New York refused to consent
when at the last minute he was called
on to double the ante. This was a time
and the first time apparently in his
experimentation there was really a
difference between Tweedledum and
Tweedledee.
