traffic in New York city makes the
statement that more opium Is used in
America than in China. Certain New

result in an increased use of habit

The Supreme Court OF Utah has
given a ruling on the law which pro-
vides for the confiscation OF autos and
vehicles used for transporting con-
'traband liquor, that the real owner
of the auto is exempt from the penal
ties OF the law unless he has knowl-
edge that his car Is being used for
unlawful liquor traffic. This ruling is
in conformity with its sponsors in

higious in its wording and It is also in
conformity with the laws the drys
tried to get through last legislature.

In order to have these provisos

Itch stood adamant. On one point only
did she acquiesce to the wishes Of
the director OF the Imperial Theatre,

piece for her debut. la Dame

for this occasion and inasmuch as
the young prima donna was shrewd
enough to realize that any role viii: h
gave her an opportunity of appearing
primarily as a beauty before her first
Bucharest audience was necessarily
the best role, she accepted. Then she
inquired the date of the first re-
hearsal, and proved to the astonlshed
director that she had already a fluent
knowledge Of the Rumanian tongue
She was then II years old, and that
was in the spring of 1894.
Less than three weeks later the
young beauty from Poland made her
debut in the title role of this blithe-

FUCH has been said and writ
MI ten about Bertha Kalich.
L l. about her art and the almost
insuperable obstacles she was obliged
to surmount before attaining her pres
ent position on the English speaking
stage, but 1t is doubtful whether there
are more than dozen persons in
America who are familiar with the
most significant Of all the astonishing
facts in the career Of the Polish born
star of THE Riddle: Woman" at the
Fulton Theatre.
Outside Of her friends and compa-
triots, Marcella Sembrich, the late
Helena Modjeska. and a handful OF
others, the true facts regarding the
beginning of the Kalich career have
been thus far held as a profound Sc
cret-a secret which the actress
though the primal cause for conceal
ment is long past. even now some
what reluctantly allows to be divulged
That secret is that It was the Kalich
face and figure, not the kalich ability
which won for her as a 14-year-old
girl a place in the chorus OF the
Skarbek Theatre at Lemberg: that II
was the Kalich face and figure. rather
than her dawning promises as an ac-
tress and singer, which kept her there

Now'that we have won the war, do we

Cohan-tho theatre goes awry. Our
futuristic playwrights know this only
too well. Critics have the same axiom
in mind when they assert that the

the value placed upon perspective!
I'VE know that the memorable plays
OF the civil war-'Shenandoah,' Secret

conflict. The Copperhead' was pro-
duced only last season. But II we must

precedents, the director of the Ruma-
MAN Imperial Theatre OF Bucharest
came to her with the voluntary propo-
sition that she become n member OF
the subsidized stock company main
tained there.
At that time Bertha Kalich didn't
know a word of Rumanian, but that
was a slight handicap compared to the
obstacles Of her race and religion. 1t
required considerable persuasion on
the directors part to get her to sign
the contract-a contract which would
carry her, a. Jewess of the most ortho-
dox faith, into the most Jew-hating
country and capital in all Europe. For
in the Bucharest of that time, twenty
five years ago, no Jew was permitted
to buy n seat or enter any theatre out
side his own ghetto. For three months
Bertha Kalich kept the contract up
her sleeve. still unsigned. busying her
self secretly all the while with the
mastery Of the Rumanian tongue.
| AS she now confesses, nothing in her
career ever presented such a dilemma.
The possibilities involved I'm the VEN
ture were dazzling. To appear upon
the stage of the Rumanian National
Theatre at the earnest request of Its
director and to make good" with the
hostile audience she would be sure TO
