followed the unfolding Of the Egyp-

eager interest which noble music,

in Washington.
The evening was distinguished
also by the presence Of Miss Alice

given a most vivid and affectionate
greeting by her hosts Of friends at
the presentation. She played the

Mr.. De Vines Returns

Henri de vries' appearances at the
Shubert-Garrick next Sunday night
practically marks his return to the
stage after an absence Of several
seasons Why he should have re-
tired at all has always been a rnys-
terry to many people, for there have
been very few actors In the history
of tho stage who ever received such
superlative laudation from the most
ieninent Critics in England and the
United States as Mr.. de vries did
sfor his remarkable performance Of
sseven different characters in the
little play "A Case Of Arson"
The truth is-that the work was
exhausting and Mr.. de Vries grew
tired Of everlastingly appearing in
the same roles. Being unable to Sc
cure another play that would en-
able him to display his distinctive
versatility. he decided to retire and
sengage in the business of making
Theatrical productions. Recently.
fthe play Luck" was brought to his
attentien and as it gives him an
.opportunity Of playing the role of
twin brothers-absolutel unlike in
sappearance. temperament and dis
.position-he decided to return to the
stage.

Mr.. de vries IL q Hollander by
birth. He lived so long in England
that he Is usually referred to as an
English actor. His first appearance
In London was under the auspices
OF q Dutch society. and he present
ed his famous little play In his
native tongue. The most famous
and distinguished critics in England
hailed him as q great artist and he
was prevailed upon to remain In
the English capital and study Eng
lish. This he accomplished success
fully. and he subsequently played
"A Case OF Arson" for over . year
continuously.
There is nothing stolid about Mr..
de vries. though that Is . quality
that Is usually ascribed a. ma
tional characteristics of his country
men. He Is a nervous. energetic in
dividual. fun of vigor. Unlike most
people of artistic temperament he
has a keen eye for business. A very
curious thing about him II that
though he has toured successfully In
all the European countries. II ID
difficult to draw any Information
from him regarding his personal ex-
periences. This is certainly most

LABOR STORE MAY TO PRESENT IRON
Be Co OPERATIVE CROSS TO NORWOOD
Council May Establish Store Here
For Benefit of Labor People.

According to the best information
obtainable there is a movement on
foot in local labor circles looking to
the establishment of a cooperative
store in Columbus.
Announcement was made several
days ago that Rene S. Curtiss, Of
Chicago, Grand President of the
Transportation Employees Union
of America was coming to Columbus
to establish a Transportation Club in
this city.
One Of the functions and benefits
Of the Club is the operation of a co
operative store for the families of
the various union orders. The store
viii be conducted under the direction
and control Of the labor union and
it win not be operated for profit.
It is understood that this plan was
suggested sometime ago but no
definite action was taken at that
time. Now that here is a central lab
or body, the Trades and Labor Coun-
ell recently organized, such a plan
could be put in operation with much
more facility and handled in a more
satisfactory manner.
