doubtless pure coincidence, but with
peace comes by far the most interest

mainly British cast, but the Irish

Lucille Ager of Sharon Centre, a little
village twelve miles from Akron, Ohio

Miss Ager was a member OF the choir
OF John ID. Rockefeller's Church, as
the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church
Is often called, until that fateful night
Mr.. Hitchcock arrived in Cleveland
On" Sunday afternoon for his usual
visit to the Euclid Avenue Opera
House. That evening he strolled up
the avenue and as he was passing the
Euclid Avenue Baptist Church he was
arrested by the singing of the church
choir. One voice rose high and clear
above the others and Hitchcock was so
Impressed with 1t that he entered
the church to hear it to more ad.

asked his friend. And to make a long
story short Mr.. Hitchcock and his

renewed his offer in person, and much
to his surprise Miss Ager announced
that she was exceedingly anxious 10

Miss Marlowe always shrinks from
being quoted. She feels that her work
on the stage must speak for itself, and
does not feel that 1t is necessary to
preface her interpretations by discus
sion. If a players portrayals need
footnotes then Miss Marlowe believes
that the player had better give up act
ing. The actor has the advantage over
every other artist in that he is able
to express himself through his own
personality Immediately to the public.
The man in the theatre is or should
be too busy watching the play and the
players to think Of explanations. They
are fatal, as fatal as footnotes are to
the average man reading Shakespeare.
What will happen If actors talk too
much about Shakespeare? queries
Miss Marlowe. "Will not this brighten
the public away. make it feel more and
more that Shakespeare is not to be en-
joyed first hand? Lead him to despair
in the idea that Shakespeare must be
understood first of all by diligent
study? This is not true. Shakespeare
Is primarily great dramatist. Give
him but half a chance and he will

According to advices received

in the slough has been noted this

may be possible for the Nenana

The gauge al the White Pass
dock indicated that there is suff-

slough to permit of the passage
of the steamers, and accordingly. an
attempt will be made to bring the
steamer Tanana up to the dock at

Indications point to the fact that
further rise in the water level
may be expected, and the White

their steamers will be able to make

RACES Of MANY
CHIMES GATHER
IN GREEK CITY

SALONIkI.-The American visi-
tor finds here an extraordinary mix
ture of races, tongues, beliefs and
customs. Saloniki is literally a
melting-pot Of humanity. No other
city in the world, unless it be one
Of the great American centers, is
so thoroughly cosmopolitan Greeks,
Mongols, Turks. Slavs, Teutons,
Italians and Europeans mingle, and
each understands the language of
the other. The market place is
babel of tongues The lowliest
street peddler speaks at least four
languages.
But these diverse races mingle
together only for business purposes.
In their religious beliefs, aspira-
lions and sentiments a great gulf
separates them. Each has a differ
emf ideal and a distinct viewpoint
of life. In Macedonia all religions
are tolerated. Saloniki, or Thessa-
lonica, as it was called in early
times, is said to have been the door
by which Christianity entered Eu-
rope. Indeed, devout residents re-
late with pride that it was here
the Apostle Paul, after having evan
gelized Syria and Asia Minor, came
to preach the gospel TO the unbe-
levers of Macedonia.
The money-changer has been a
fixture in Saloniki from time i'm
memorial. During the war he
reaped rich harvest on the fluc-
tuating value of the currency of
the wat-afected countries. The
American dollar was the only cur
rency that he could not buy at d
profit. 1t resisted all the vicissi-
tudes and varying fortunes of the
war and held steadily at 100 cents
when all the other money of the
world was fluctuating.
Saloniki is essentially Jewish
city, for there are more than 10O,-
600 Jews who make their homes
here. They control the bulk of the
business. About so per cent of
them are Spanish Hebrews whose
ancestors were driven from Spain
by Ferdinand and Isabella in the
fifteenth century. To indicate the
wide diversity of other races. how
ever, it is sufficient only to say
that there are five Greek newspa-
pers, seven Spanish-Hebrew. four
French, three Serbian, one Turkish,
and one English. The lone English
newspaper is published by the Brit
ish army for the use of its men n
the Levant.
If the Apostle Paul could come
to Saloniki today he probably would
preach to the Thessalonians a Cos
pei of cleanliness as we'll as of
piety, for dirt seems to be an in
separable part of the city and #
the people. HYGIENE and sanitary
methods, as the Allied military au-
thorities soon learned. are woefully
