THE CHANGE.

l know a lady in this here town
Who would pass John by with
her high. brown frown;
In company with him she would
not 60
For private's clothes are quite
coarse you know.
But today she stopped on the
street in awe,
She was struck quite dumb by
the sight she saw;
For John came by in his officer
trays
Displaying two bars on his Shout
der straps.
She now looked downcast for she
felt so mean,
Her face from the soldier she
tried to screen.
She realized now that the time
was brief
Till he'd change those bars for a
golden leaf;
And the leof then change to
eagles of gold.
And o how she wished his
to hold;
But she felt that for her he haC
sounded taps
When she saw those bars on hi!
shoulder straps.
When those bars on his shoulder
straps she saw
She realized how she'd treated
him raw;
She realized too that he'd fel
the sting
Of her up-turned nose,-th
naughty thing;
But now she would kneel at hi
feet in dust
If this would bring back his low
and trust.
But the love which disdains tn
private's traps
Is too base for the bars on one
shoulder straps.
So in his trying days. or dire dis
tress
We should never Judge man b
his dress;
And if his high esteem yol
would not lose
Don't turn up your nose at
private's shoes.
Because he's a private we shout
not rap,
His hat is easily snapped for
cap;
| And the boy who is spurned 70
the other chaps
May display gold stars on hi
, shoulder straps.

Hart Quits Combine,
According to Rumor

A contract has been signed by the
big four" and not by the big
i've" as had been originally intend
ed when the meeting took place at
the home of Mary Piodxford that
history making Tuesday afternoon
two weeks ago in Los Angeles.
Rumors have been received from
the coast for the last few days say
Ing William s. Hart, who was one
OF the charter members of the big
hve," had considered the fat weekly
salary offered him by a producing
concern and was not so enthusiastic
over the star distribution PROPOSE
tion as he had been at first.
This rumor was virtually verified
In New York yesterday. "A wire was
received from the Griffith Offices say
ing the big four" had been signed
and plans for the organization had
been completed.
My telegram definitely reads big
four" said Mr.. Albert Grey. ''and
there is all the difference in the
world between the words four and
fve-' 1t would not surprise me If
Mr.. Hart did decide to accept one
of the offers made by the different
producing companies. One of the Of
fers was for a s1o,000-a-week con-
tract, and naturally Mr.. Hart gave
heed whene such an interesting
piece of paper was held up for him
TO sign. l do not want to say alb
solutely Mr.. Hart has left the or
ganization, but it would not surprise
me If it were true. There are only
four membess. and since one OF the
five must have resigned-weIl. Mr..
Hart is probably that one"
Mr.. Grey smiled when asked about
the increase in salary for William
G. McAdoo. The original amount
quoted had been 10000. and it was
whispered about the streets yester-
day the big four has decided the
services of the former Secretary of
the Treasury were worth 5000 and

Now They're Hunting
Nat Goodwin's Will

Much curiosity was aroused early
this week as to the probable dispo-
sition of the property which the late
Nat c. Goodwin was known to own
at one time and interest was height
ened by the fact that it is uncertain
whether he made a. will. His law
yers stated Monday that they knew
of no will disposing OF his property.
and that a member of the firm would
go to Boston this week to interview
the parents of Goodwin. who live
at Roxbury. 1t was thought they
may know of the existence of will.
Goodwin's lawyers have represent
| ed the late actor during the last five
years, during which time, they
stated, they never drew any instru-
ment disposing of his property.
However, H. c. Birney. manager of
/ the Hotel Claridge, where Goodwin
died last week, and an intimate
friend of the late actor. stated that
he knew OF the existence OF Will
made by Goodwin about six years
ago in Boston. In this will. Birney
! said. Goodwin had devised all his
property to his aged mother, the lat
ter being over so years old at the
present time.
| At the time Goodwin is reported
to have made this will, he owned
1 considerable real estate in California,
including several hotels, and large
blocks of stock in various mining
and oil corporations. His stock
holdings alone were valued at con-
siderably over 100000. His hotel
holdings were worth s150,OO0, and
| his ranch at San Jacinto, Cal, which
he owned in the name of his mother,
is at the present time worth $780,
900.
| Another considerable item that
now reverts to Goodwin's estate is
the $4,000 judgment the late actor
recently obtained in the Supreme
| Court against the Mirror Film Com
pany. The company has taken an
appeal from the judgment, but has
deposited a bond guaranteeing the
payment of the $4,000 in the event
I that the higher court sustains the
| judgment. 1t would appear that
| Goodwin was at one time worth
! over $5OO,OO0, but the money settle
ments he made on his ex-wives in
his tangled domestic affairs is be-
lieved to have reduced his financial
worth.
Margaret Moreland. who is now
Mrs. ellison, the late actors last
wife, from whom he was divorced
several months ago. is reported to
have received $4,000 in lump sum
in lieu of alimony.
Though it is doubtful whether the
estate left by Goodwin is worth any
where near what the late actor was
worth about six years ago, it is be-
| lieved by those who should know
that it will total about 100000.

Charles Cherry Returns

1t will no doubt be interesting news
TO local playgoers that Charles Cherry
is to be seen here co-starring with
Miss Francine Larrimore I'm Cosmo
Hamilton's new play called Scan
dal," which comes TO the Shubert-
Garrick Theater for the week begin
ming next Monday, February Il.
Mr.. Cherry will be remembered as
having been a source OF delight when
seen here with William Faversham in
Getting Married" On this occasion
Mr.. Cherry established himself as a
star player and his efforts in the fas-
cinating Hamilton play will no doubt
maintain his favoritism-
His youthful co-star has had the
distinction of creating leading roles
in more comedies than any other ar
tiste near her age, inasmuch as she
was the hit in the original COM
pany OF Fair and Warmer" ''Parior.
Bedroom and Bath" Here Comes
the Bride" Double Exposure and
early part Of the season. she was the
most talked-of singing comedian in
Arthur Hammerstein's Sometime"
With the tremendous circulation of
Cosmo Hamilton's Scandal" in book
form and as a serial in a popular
magazine, 1t is perhaps one Of the
most w'dely-read stories Of the de-
cade. His portrayal Of the little girl
who yearned TO have her eyes opened
and who so definitely asserts that
she always feels sure OF herself is
portrayed in this little play in a most
charming manner. Through the stage
craft of John Harwood, the tense sit
uations are relieved by comedy scenes
in which battles of wit bring forth
roaring climaXes
In association with Mr.. Cherry and
Miss Larrimore, Walter Hast, the
producer, has engaged a company Of
noted players comprising William Da-
vid. Carl Eckstrom, Henry Trader,
Frank Gregory, Jerome Colamor. Miss

gan. Miss Mary Cecil, Miss Lillian
