triumphs. the emotional drama.
They have created for this versatile
actress in the role OF Vivian Hunt
part that calls forth all her talent
as an emotional artist. Miss An
gins past appearances in roles OF
this kind and her individual success
in them, such as The Great Di-
vide" Mrs. Danes Defense and
Zira," is an assurance that her
newest role will be in able hands.
The Woman of Bronze" is a three
act drama with modern theme and
dialogue that is brilliant. The au-
thors consider il among their best
works, and as they have met with
great success in its presentation in
Paris, their opinion as to its merit is
well founded. Mr.. kistemaecker is
a chevalier Of the Legion of Honor
and also a member of the Society of
Authors OF France. His dramatic
efforts have been many and for the
most part extremely successful.
Miss Anglin has given her per-
sonal attention to the direction and
presentation OF "The Woman OF
Bronze" and has selected a cast that
will in every way measure up to the
usual standard OF excellence set by
her in past seasons. Among those
in the supporting company will be
seen Fred Eric. who has been Miss
Anglin's leading man for several
seasons past Last season Mr.. Eric
appeared with Miss Anglin in "Bil-
leted." Others IN the cast are Lang
don Bruce. Harriet Sterling, Sally
Williams and Ralph G. Kemmet.

sketches were contributed by him to
the various magazines of the coun-
try before he struck his fund of
anecdote and Characterization which
brought the partners to the stage
in their various adventures.
There was uncertainty when the
first tale went forth. Three OF them,
at least fell OH fallow ground and
came back as promptly as they
were sent out. Such is the fate
of those who strike out along the
lines of originality. Finally, how
ever, an editor was convinced; the
stories found the printed page, and
their reception was most enthusi-
aStic.

Waterproof Watches
Fail to Turn Water

Owners Of ,he type of watches on
which the lids screw instead Of being
fastened by hinges. if they were of the
high grade makes. have thought that
water could not get into the works Of
the watch and il has often been boastcd
of such watches that they could be
dropped into water without danger Of
damage to them.
Sol Rothenberg. proprietor Of the
Crown Jewelry company, on Wednesday
got several exhibits Of evidence that
such IL not the case. He opened a few
of the highest grades Of that type Of
watch, unscrewed the lid and poured out
water and he was not demonstrating Il
magic art. Mr.. Rothcnberg was burned
out in the Steele block fire.
He did not take from his safe the
numerous high quality watches. because
he believed the safe was secure and that
there was no danger to leave the watches
there When the fire was out. the safe
was in the basement submerged III water.
When the safe was lifted out and opened
there was not compartment which
had not been filled with water. The
watches got their share. ms the demon
