production at the Capitol was rather q

production at the Capitol was rather q
profited by the shortcomings and
lapses and tho succeeding attempts
were distinct improvements. "Lohen-
grim yesterday was by no means with
out faults, but it was easily the best
thlng that has been done at the larg-
est Of the city's theaters.
Karl Jorn, the Wagnerian tenor, who
formerly sang at the Metropolitan,
singing in English, was a satisfying
Lohengrin, both to the eye and to the
ear. Although it is doubtful that he
ever sang the role in English before,
ms dlction was excellent So, too. the
diction Of Wilfred Glenn, as the King;
James Goddard, as the Herald, and
II irene Williams, as Elsa, was excellent.
It is not possible to overlook one dis
tinct flaw in the production, the sing
ing and acting of William Beck, who
plays the part Of Telramund 1t is a
mistake to allow him to sing in Eng
llsh, for he has really pleasing voice.
But his struggles with the English
words do much to obscure the finer
qualities of his singing.
His duel last night with Lohengrin,
which ends the first act, was not in
tended to amuse, vet the large audi
ence was moved to laughter by his
ludicrous performance. Jorn makes a
motion with his foil, and before it has
reached within three feet of him Beck
does most ungraceful fall. All
around the writer could be heard the
familiar baseball cry, "He never even
touched him!" Perhaps with a little re-
hearsing this part Of the performance
can be improved.
On the screen Alice Brady is seen in
the film version of Sinners" the play
by Owen Davis in which she appeared
on the stage. All the time worn props
OF melodrama are contained in the
picture, just as they were in the play,
except that on the screen there is more
opportunity to expand and enlarge on
them. There is the simple country
girl, Mary Horton, played WELL on the
whole, by Miss Brady. Then there is
her country homo in the fishing town
OF Ponset Point, her ailing mother and
the sumptuously furnished apartment
OF Hilda,s who once lived in Ponset
Point, but who is known as Mrs. Far
rell to her friends" in New York.
Mary comes to the city to earn
money to support her mother, but fails
Hilda recognizes her, takes her in. and
she meets William Morgan, the old
bills, and Bob Merrick, a westerner
Mary is tempted to give up the strug-
gle and live the same kind of life
that Hilda lives. In the nick of time.
of course, she receives a message from
her dying mother and goes home.
Later Merrick and the others follow
her, and in the end, Merrick, who does
not belong to the "vicious circle of
Sinners" marrics her.

Ziegfeld Girls to Wear
Tights at $500 a Pair
Shipment of S7l Kind Just Re.

Rise in Theater Tickets

There has been a report current
along Broadway that the best seats at
some of the shows next winter will be
S. each If this includes the Ziegfeld
"Follies" the high cost of seats may be
attributed to the high cost of tights.
Prices Of silk tights have scared.
And a Ziegfeld show and Ziegfeld
girl without tights would be unthink-
able. 1t was said yesterday that tights
which formerly cost SO a pair now
cost $7l. Silk lace tights cost as high
as $500 pair. A shipment of the $71-
a-pair tights has just been received by
L. Ziegfeld jr. from Paris.
"The tremendous increase in prices
for costumes for my productions pre-
sents serious problem" said Mr..
Ziegfeld, seriously. "The new 'Follies'
will cost more than 100000 to pro
duce. To make the venture pay every
seat must be sold every night during
the engagement of the show. At for
mer prices the production would be
impossible"

BIG CROPS REPORTED
IN CALDWELL HILLS
COTTON PROSPECTS BRIGHTEST
FARMERS HAVE HAD IN
YEARS.
EXCESSIVE RAIN DAMAGING
Sweet Potato Crop Is Reported as Sur
passing Anything That Has Ever
Been Done in That Line-Large
Curing Plant Is Established.

Columbia, La. = In that portion OF
Caldwell parish lying west OF the
Ouachita river, commonly known as
the hill section of the parish, reports
of very encouraging nature are com
ing in every day. An unusually aound-
ant corn crop is assured. There IS on
exhibition at the Caldwell Bank ana
Trust Company three ears Of corn
gathered at random from the field OF
David McClary which measure eleven
and one-half inches in length. one OF
the ears has 575 well-matured grams,
while the other two have sos and
571 respectively. Mr.. McClary When
placing the corn on exhibition sald
that his corn crop is no better than
the average in his neighborhood. IN
nuirv from other sections confirms the
fact that the corn crop in the mills IS
far beyond anything that has been &C
complished in corn raising during the
past severa lyears.
The sweet potato crop in that sec
ton is reported as SURPRISING any
thing that has ever been done IN thaI
narticular line. The acreage planted
to sweet potatoes has been increased
bv reason of the fact that large cur
ing plant has been established at Gray
SON. five miles south OF Columbia on
the line Of the Missouri Pacific Ran
road and is easily accessible to all
farmers residing in the hill portion OF
the parish. s
The rainfall during the past few
5avs in some localities, has peen OF
that character to cause consideraDie
damage, but in most places the ram
has not been beyond what was actuai
ly needed =

association at Washington by Mrs. II.

marker has been placed on the tree
hy the Sycamore Shoals chapter, says
the American Forestry Magazine, in
making the announcement. The SOL
diers of the War of 1912 met here.
Then came the Mexican war and the
old tree saw men again leave their
homes to fight. Next came the
struggle between the states, and the
oak witnessed the drilling of men to
fight one another in their own coun-
try. Then came the world war and
again the veteran oak saw our boys

Definite indications reached War
