THE FRICK WILL.

III amassing his fortune the late Henry
c. Frick held steadily to a design To leave
most Of it for public uses at his death.
He was not swcrved from what he be-
licved 10 be his duty by envy and dctrac-
ton lie was unjGstly assaded and even
execrated IS an employer u labor. Once
Il dastar3ly attempt was made upon
his life which almost succeeded But the
experience did not emhitter him. Indeed
he urged clemcncv for the anarchist
who had attacked him a. an enemy Of
society.
society never had truer friend than
Henry c. Frlck one Of his executors
speaks of his viii, which is now published,
rs '.one Of the most wonderful from the
standpoint Of its pubic and charitable
benefactions ever heard Of 1t Is a noble
will, monument to man Of generous
imagination and large heart He was
called in his life a captain Of industry, but
if he had been only that MS career might
be dismissed in few words. He WAS
also captain of his soul, and he desired
TO be known when the end came as a
trustee of his wealth for the public good
As he toiled he planned divulging nothing
Of his intentions, retired, quiet. modest
content never TO hear the applause of those
he aimed to serve.
A thousand men accumulate moderate
fortunes and no public institution, no
city. no community may be the better
for their farewell to lie. One man has q
genius for creating great enterprises, and,
reaping the reward Of executive ability,
acquires extraordinary wealth The OPP
portunity comes 70 him to benefit ms
fellow-nen by leaving his possessions for
their instruction, entertainment, improve
ment But for him there might have
been no fine library, 10 wonderful art

The Rex theatre has contracted to
show, beginning next Sunday and
Monday, Miss Anita Stewards initial
First National production, "Virtuous
Wives" adapted from the two million
edition book of the same title by
Owen Johnson "Virtuous Wives" is
described as a truthful story Of
married life in New York society.
According to the author, In the intro
duction to his story, virtuous wife
is becoming an extinct specie of FEM
ininity under present-day condi-
tons. The reasons for this, as de-
scribed in his novel, have been in
cluded in the screen adoption. Miss
Stewart makes her return to the
American screen after an absence Of
several months in the role Of Amy
Forester, the "only member of So
cial set to whom pleasure is young
AS the wife Of Andrew Forester, aud
obsessed only with the idea of con-
slant and uninterrupted amusement,
she appears in the role Of the young
society matron who finally is brought
to a realization that unbridled
pleasure Is but the ash of happiness.

AT REX TODAY,

"Intoferance'' at the Rex today
and tomorrow is said to be the most
stupendous theatrical amusement
ever created. 1t reveals four periods
of world history, ancient Babylon.
Judea in the time of the Nazarene,
Medieval Paris and modern American
life. Mae Marsh, Lillian Gish, Con-
stance Talmadge, Miriam Cooper,
Seena Owen, Robert Harron and AL
fred Paget, are among the screen
celebrities having the most import
ant roles. Some idea of the tremend-
Gus size of this master-work may be
had from the statement that it cost
two million dollars, employed 1885,
900 people, made use of 1900 horses
and 1900 chariots and Mr. Griffith
was three years making it.
