Washingtons 10 at. ss;2.:-Senator Hir.
am Johnson's reception in the middle
west, as he toured in. opposition to
the league of nations, has set repub'
lican tongues wagging, anew in house
and senate cloakrooms, to the effect
that johnson is going to prove a
mighty formidable claimant to the
&. O.. P. presidential nomination that
is to be handed to, somebody the
coming summer.
johnson of course, has been re.
garded all along as having only an
''outside chance" because the stand,
pat leaders of the party find his pro
gressivism unacceptable.
But now, the talk goes, there is
reason to- believe that Johnson's en-
thusiastic greeting in the middle west
is but one evidence that whether they
Ike him or not, republican leaders
will have to give respectful ear to
Johnson's claims. o.
There is Johnson's popularity
among American soldiers, for one
thing. The soldier vote, all the po-
litical wiseacres here say, is going
pretty far towards deciding who will
be the next president. Also, they as
sert, the soldiers will not vote for
another soldier. Pershing and~Leonard
Wood therefore, won't do, if this sort
of reasoning is correct.
But Johnson, many republicans
here believe, can get the soldier vote,
because he has won popularity among
them by his fight to bring American
boys out of Russia and Europe.
Evidence that this is true is sub
mitted by his friends in the form of
polls taken aboard returning trans
ports. In half dozen such polls,
where the soldiers voted for anybody
they fancied, Johnson's name led all
the rest. The soldiers represented
practically every state.
Again, it is whispered that Lodge
Knox and other conservative leaders
are not 50 alarmed by Johnson's
progressivism as they once were
They understand now, it is said, that
he is not radical, is in fact as much
against "reds" as anybody in the
party, and is forward looking rath.

that's the thing he's counting on

In 1898 King Albert visited the
United States and in company with
the late James J. Hill he toured the
northwest country around St. Paul
and Minneapolis and west. He worked
as reporter for a weekly newspaper
while in the Twin Cities. He was
much feted in Washington.
Similarly he went disguised as a
newspaper reporter to Belfast in 1908
and studied at first hand conditions

The king belongs to the Catholic
party of Belgium. Opposed to him
are the socialists and the liberals.

Calls Upon Kaiser.
One of the first trips the king
made after his coronation was visit
to Berlin. A few months afterward
the kaiser and encourage repaid the
visit, receiving considerable atten-
ton in Brussels. After that, how
ever, there was little communication
between the rules, numerous incl
dents occurring which separated
them. -

The activities of the king on the

America is in the nature Of mission
to thank the nation for aid given in

Dorothy Donnelly Wrote
Forbidden as a Tribute
To Occupation Army

Forbidden" the romantic plav by
Dorothy Donnely which George Moose,
is presenting at the Manhattan Opera
House. is showing, for the first time or
any stage incidents pursuant to our
entry into Germany and of the lives of
our boys of the army of occupation
Miss Donnelly has written this plav
virtually in tribute to our men who in
every way portrayed that wonderful
spirit which is America. Not alone
bravery under fire, but the fairminded
ness, the frankncss of speech betoken-
ing their absolute sincerity, their keen
ness Of mind topping all subtcrfuge
and guile, their gallantry, their kindli-
ness and their humor AS Miss Don
nelly herself says, at is easy to be a
good loser-pridc looks out for that.
But a good winner-that is indeed a
wonderful thing. America is good
winner"
Miss Donnelly's best known successes
on the stage were in candida, y
Madame X" and maria Rosa" She was
the first one in America to play in
"Cathleen nj Houlihan," by Yeats. and
the leading feminine role in tn "Shad-
ow of the Glen" by Synge. Hey plays,
written in collaboration. beginning in
1915 with "Florabella," have followed
in rapid succession Johnny Get
Your Gun in 1916, and Fancy Free
In 1917-and "Thc Riddle: Woman" i"
produced by George Mooser, was ono
of the biz hits of last year. running
the entire season on Broadway And
now we have "Forb dden." with associa-
tions dear to Miss Donnellv's heart
Practically coincident with our entry
into the war there sprang into being
the Stage Womcns War Relief. Dor
othy Donnelly. as its national vice
president, in Newark, organized. fitted
up and stocked its workroom in ten
days; she organized and opened the
electric workroom, wherein old kid
gloves were so successfully converted
into warmth providing vests, and she
also organized and ran the free Sunday
night theatrical entertainments for sol
diers and sailors, in which latter work.
upon her appointment to overseas ser
vice, she was succeeded by Grace
George.
Miss Donnelly was first stationed at
general headquarters. Chaumont,
France, giving programs Of songs,
recltatlons and one-act plays. Also,
she played the organ Sundays for the
travelling prayer meetings. All this up
to the signing Of the armisticc. After
the armistice Miss Donnelly wrote. or
ganized and produced the general head
quarters show entitled "Ah, Ou," fo,
the army. This was distinctly an army
show which was given by the special
order of General Pershing for the
Prince of Wales and Elizabeth, Queen
Of the Belgians. At Christmas Dor

raise the level of the newer plays.

Mr. Sherman has good word to say

He loves her as an audience AND thinks
her enthusiasm one of the most en-

Anyway, women make better audiences,
he believes, and-yes, they are inclined
to like the william. He was too modest
to say so, but his interviewer was at

And there's just ono other thing

does not conceal for moment. He
religiously reads all the reviews in

and has even been known to stay up
very late at night-or rather, early in
the morning - especially to sec what
they had to say about himself. And
when they roast him he thinks it's very
good for him.
Mr.. Sherman is Californian and
likes costume plays better than any
thing, and some Of the things he has
played in are "a Marriage of Convcn-
icncc, "The Woman in Room II" and
"Thc Heart of Wctonah."
