Only one spot in all the theatre has
been untouched by palette and brush, and
that is the cameo" picture right in the
center of the high ceiling, of the late
Joseph Jefferson-the great actor for
whom the theatre is named; this hand

Gated.
The new curtain at the Jefferson is quite
the loveliest thing you've seen for long
time, as the large clientele of this big
playhouse will notice when during the
month of September the doors of the
theatre will be thrown open and the
handsome new curtain will rise over some
dazzling. stunning Broadway comedy.
The new curtain is built of dark green
velvet-exquisitely soft and graceful
not of the Shakesperean type of curtain
but of the modern type used in most OF
the New York theatres.
Across the top of the stage is a plain
"frieze" of the rich dark green velvet
ornamented with costly gold fringe; from
beneath this frieze hangs the graceful
elegant folds of the curtain which is
manipulated in the same manner as the
former curtain used there, being con-
cealed beneath the frieze as it is raised
This beautiful curtain, in its plain, ele'
CANT effect, is tremendous addition to
the theatre, giving it an air of dignity
land beauty which is in keeping with a
PLAYHOUSE of its reputation and stand
ling.
One each side of the stage the panelins
has been done" over in golden ivory
tints. the boxes redecorated and the walls
given a new hue of soft ivory tints.

Our Railroad Army in France


For the past is months or SO, some
70 900 healthy aggressive young Amerl-
cans have been railroading in France,
their Jobs varying all the way from that
of the director general of transportation
to those of track repairers and engine
wipers. There had been engineers from
the Santa Fe," writes Edward Hunger
ford in Everybody's, "and firemen from
the a. conductors from the New York
Central. brakemen from the Pennsyl-
yania, mechanics from the Southern or
the New Haven; bridge gangs from the
Milwaukee or the Northwestern-an army
of II, 436 enlisted men and 1858 officers,
and all in the khaki of Uncle Sam. These
men have been helping operate some 5000
miles of French railway-a system In
size roughly approximating the Northern
Pacific, and known as the United States
military railroad in France.
There has been a deal of misunder-
standing in regard to our railroad IN
France. In the first place, it is not a
corpora ton; and in the second, it is not
even a railroad-not in the sense, at
least, that we Americans know and I'M
derstand railroads. For while American
engineers have planned, and American
workers laid 947 miles of track--a track

"Oysters" and the opening Of the
theatrical season."
There is a particular significance at

things; it is the first opening since
the war; the Actors Strike" which has
threatened to shake the foundation clear
out from underneath the whole theatrical

In fact, as l said before, we almost
