Dale Winter Once Actress.

| Dale Winter Once Actress.
Mrs. Dale Winter Colosimo, wife OF
the King of the Chicago under
world, who was assassinated Tues
! day afternoon at his restaurant in
| the tenderloin district. was once nm
actress. The handsome young wife
of the italian dictator of the night
life Of Chicago Thursday told the
story of her life to a newspaper re-
| porter. 1t was not an unusual story,
| except that it showed the 25-year-
old vocalist had refused career In
grand opera or musical comedy to
sing at Colosimos cabaret and be
| near her Him." whom she eventu-
ally married. Why she should have
sacrificed ambition and fame to wed
the middle-aged Italian was a mys-
| terry to newspaper men until she eN-
planned that when she was stranded
in Australia and contracted debts
which she never expected to be able
| to pay, 1t was Jim" who gave her
| position where she might earn the
money to pay these debts. She ad-
mitted that she did not like singing
in cabaret but she remained as
Colosimo's pretty cabaret singer"
to be near "Jim."
| When Madame Sherry" was pre-
sented in New York City, Ada Meade
was chosen for the title role, and
Dale Winter, then newcomer to the
stage and mere slip OF girl, was
| made understudy to the star. When
road companies were organized Dale
Winter was placed at the head Of the
western company and sang the title
role on a tour to the Pacific coast.
Madame Sherry" was presented at
the Odeon, April q. 1911. with Ada
Meade in the title role. Dale Winter
probably was at the head Of the
western company at that time or
| soon after. She was not a member
of the company that appeared here.

ASKS REFERENDUM
ON TROLLEY PLANS.
U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Submits Questions to
Members for Vote.

The membership of the Chamber of
Commerce Of the United States was ask
ed today for a referendum vote on pro-
posals for Improvement in the 81 tua-
ton of the country's street railway
lines. Recomme ndations on which the
ballot will be cast have been ad-
vanced by the chambers committee
on public utilities.
These recommendations provide the
following:
l. Existing traction facilities should
be conserved
street railway problems should be
based upon the present and future
needs of the community
3. The attitude which is taken to-
contemplate private ownership and
operation.
4. Regulation should everywhere be
instituted that will promptly follow
changes in the situation of the COM
Ranies rendering services of local
transportation
). Provision should be made against
the consequences of unfair competi-
ton.
6. All burdens unrelated to the serv-
ice performed should be removed
from street railways.
!. Official responsibility should be
definitely fixed for the applica ton Of
regulation.
o. fIacn company SnOuld seek 10
have ayaila BILE for the public at all
times the facts as TO the results of
operation and should have resident
responsible executives wholly con-
yersant with local requirements.
The report OF the utilities COM
mittee further says that the point of
view must be that local transportation
is an industry to be fostered and de-
veloped. with ample provision for cor
recting abuses and for preventing
any one from taking unfair advantage
OF the public attitude.
In the United States the report
says, "one great cause for public in
difference to the situation of local
street railway lines is the wide
spread belief that in the earlier his
tory of many traction companies there
was financial mismanagement. If it
be conceded that the public interest
is to obtain good service at lower
cost and that street railways are es-
sential and necessary. then the SEN
sible way to deal with the problem is
to permit existing organizations and
present properties to earn a sufficient
sum over their operating expense to
induce investment of capital for ex-
tensions and improvements to exist
ing facilities. The committee recon-
mends that this position is in the
highest public interest and that the
attitude that is now taken toward
street railway problems should be
based upon the present and future
needs of the community and not upon
earlier conditions"
The, committee recommends re-
sponsible regulation of the street rail-
way companies.

Weary Of Virtue.

For months | save the dollars
with energy sublime. and wear
old shoes and collars to save an
other dime. For months | am

| make men blink their eyes. |
preach on seli-denial beneath
my own rooftree, till life be
comes a trial to all who live with
me. For months ! keep on raw
ing about the penny gained !:
then get sick Of saving, by
thrift my soul is panied. And 50
| blow my money as though |
had no sense, and live on milk
and honey: regardless Of ex-
pense; | patronize the tailor and
buy a fordmobile, and like a
jingled sailor | burn the hard
earned wheel. Then, tired of
misbehaving, | gently simmer
down, and once again I'm saving
the guilder and the crown. And
such a course seems dotty to
people safe and sane, who think
such orgies naughty, and vii
lainous and vain. But saving,
though virtue, may soon be-
come a fault that's bound to
badly hurt you. unless you call
a halt before the shining dollar
to you seems so immense that
all the world looks smaller than
its circumference. The thrifty
man is wiser than is the spend
thrift jake; but, oh, the greedy
miser! He makes my innards

the lack of ideals in a race. That is why the Hindu is just as fond of his tragedy as he is of his comedy, be- cause it shows him how to live
 "The Hindus cherish their theatre, and what is more our theatres derive from the people all their patronage and yet never come down to the level of the masses to amuse."
 "The reason of this ;s." Mir. Mu- kerji continued, that the East Indian still lives in the Middle Ages and if you recall the Middle Ages you will find two very striking things; first the people spoke in picturesque lan- .guage and. second, they were intensely religious. The art and literature of race which draws from these two gifts must necessarily be of a serious order'
 three epics are known by heart to all scholars and many students, if not in their entirety, certainly in part These epics are Ramayana, Mahubharata~ and The Descendants mof Rughu.' ThenF there is our Bible. the 'Gita,' which is written in eighteen chapters familiar. to dilletante and scholar alike; two plays which are more than two thou- sand years old--Kali lidasa's 'Shakun- tala' and The Pearl Necklace. by an unknown author.

 Miss Morgan, daughter of the late J Pierpont Morgan, is making tour of the United States and will make her appearance in Birmingham as the guest of the Drama League.

 Miss Morgan tells vivid story Of the life of the people with whom she lived and worked in the heart of the fighting areas since 1916. The French government made her chevalier Of the palm.
 She also brings with her the war aftermath film, acted by the peasants themselves: there is not single pro fessional in the film. While the film is document showing the devastated area, 1t carries complete story giy- ing an accurate portrayal of the lire in French village prior to 1914, the subsequent onrush of the war, the evac- uaton of inhabitants and their return ,, to the ruins of their former homes after the signing of the armistice.
