THE REINCARNATION OF "P. T."

There are a lot of people In this
world who believe that p. T. Bar
mum. the renowned Snowman. is
resting quietly under the mossy
mound in his family plot in a little
cemetery in Connecticut, but thous-
ands OF theatergoers who have seen
the production Of 'Maytime" know
that "P. T." has returned.
OF course, il isn't "P. T." him
self, but IL looks so much like the
bustling creator of the greatest
show on earth" that even the most
skeptical are convinced that the
thing can be done and done well.
Edward F. Nannary. who. for
twenty-five years, has played lead
ing parts in big productions. was
selected to impersonate this char
acter in the second act of the big
musical success.
Mr.. Nannary is almost p. T. Bar
mum. He is the same age today
that p. T. was in 1855. the year in
which the action of this scene takes
place. and his thick, curly hair, big
double chin and jovial expression
make him a perfect likeness Of the
Snowman. In fact. he looks, talks
and acts so like the renowned Bar
mum that even the showman's fam
lily %ould have difficulty distin-
gushing Mr.. Nannary from their
ancestor.
Barnum's philosophy OF life forms
an interesting side of Mr.. Nan
nary's characterization OF the role.
The lines that were written for him
contain many of the true sayings
Of Barnum. especially when two OF
his celebrated entertainers profess
ed ignorance Of the value OF adver-
tising.

terprising criminal we venture 10 re-

Miss Ferguson as a Southern girl OF

cial straits who joins the Secret Serv-
ice to try and win the reward offered
for rounding up band Of counterfeit

of the rich at Newport and she traces
the forgers not to a sordid den in
some secluded spot. but to lavishly
furnished yacht lying in the harbor.

arch-crook does make use OF this idea,

Miss Ferguson is on the job to foil

RUSSIA A WORLD PROBLEM.

Russia in 1917 had a population or 178,378,OO0, or approximately sixteen to the square mile.
 Seven hundred and seventy-one of every 1000 were peasants.
 One hundred and seven of every 1000 were city people.
 Fifteen out of every 1000 were noblemen and members of the gentry. Five out of every 1000 were clergy. Seventy-five per cent were farmers. Ten per cent were in industrial pur- suits.
 Four and half per cent were do- mestics.
 Three and a half per cent were in commercial pursuits.
 Of every 1000 soldiers, 611 were iiliterate. ..
 Four per cent of the population of Russia attended public schools, as compared with 20 per cent in the United States.
 About 65 per cent of the entire population of Russia was illiterate as compared with seven per cent in the United States.
 More than 100 languages are spoken in Russia.

WHERE MEETING ISPLANNEDFOR
 RUSS FACTIONS

The National Geographic society from it's Washington headquarters has issued the following bulletin con. corning the Princes island, in the Sea of Marmora, where the warning fac tions of Russia have been asked to send delegates for a conference at which it is hoped the internal dissen. sions in the vast Slav dominions can be composed.
 ''It would seem that the peace con. ference in Paris may have had the number of the Princes islands in mind as well as their geographical location when they named as the place of meeting on February 15 for the warning factions in Russia. There are nine islands-enough for each group of delegates to have an island to ynem. selves should such course of segre- gation prove expedient.

"One of the most populous of the islands is Halki (also spelled Chalcitis and Khalki) where there are a naval college and theological college. A Greek commercial school occupies the site of an ancient monastery. At the entrance to the school is the tomb. stone of Sir Edward Barton, English ambassador to Turkey during the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
 "On the island of Plate the peace delegates will find a castle, built after the model of Windsor castle. It is now falling into decay. Once it was the summer residence of Sir Henry Bulwer (the famous author Of the Clayton-B -Bulwer treaty of American history) when he was British ambas sador at Constantinople. Upon his re tirement, the one-time British am bassador at Washington sold the island to the Khedive of Egypt, whose family still owned it at the outbreak of the world war"

Near Turkeys Capital.
 "The islands lie from ten to fifteen miles southeast of Constantinople, near the Asiatic shore. Four of them are inhabited and the largest of the group, Prinkipo (also called Pityusa, meaning rich in pines) has a popula- tion of more than 10000, Turks and Greeks being about equal in number.
 "The islands in modern times have owing to the salubrity of their climate and their proximity to the Turkish capital.
 Few islands have a history more poignant with tragedy, with high hopes and shattered dreams, with dia- bolical mach'nations of empire wreck CTS and makers than these few square miles of earth washed by the waters of the Marmona. Their very name is significant of their past, for in the days of the Byzantine empire they were the retreats, either forced or voluntary, of princes and princesses who had fallen into disfavor at the nearby court.
 Of Histories Renown.
 Each island of the group could tell it's own story of famous exiles. None is more pathetic, however, than that of Proti as the prison of the deposed emperor, Romanus w. called Diog- enes. The life of this ruler reads like one of the fictitious romances of Cleo patra's days. He was distinguished young soldier, descended from Cap padocian family. Having been impli- cated in a conspiracy to depose his sovereign, Constantine w., he was condemned to be executed for treason. While being led to his death, accord ing to one account, he caught the eye of the empress regent, Eudocia Ma crembolitissa, who instantly fell in love with him, granted him pardon | and shortly thereafter married him. After his coronation as emperor he led three successful expeditions against the Seljuk Turks, his fourth campaign, against Alp Arslan, was a disastrous failure.

Upon the death of her husband, she assumed the reins of government for her 10-year.old son, Constantine VI. For 8 decade her reign was distinguished by firmness and wisdom. Then began the conflict with her ambitious son, which term mated in the greatest blot upon her career, the capture of the neeing youth, his return to Constantinople, where, by his mothers orders. his eyes were gouged out.
