s.KU kLUX KHAN" AT
THE MAJESTIC o. X.

When the "Ku Klux Khan" is pre-
scented at the Majestic theatre today
in its opening of weeks run 1T will
have the o. k. of the knights of the
Ku Klux Klan," a secret organiza-
ton, according to we'll founded ru-
mors.
While the play does not deal with
the secret organization of today, 1t
does with the old organization, the
old khan that gave the new one birth,
and this is reported to have resulted
in officials of the local organization
visiting the theatre management and
making an investigation
Frank L. Maddocks, manager of the
Majestic. when asked If the rumors
were true, declined to comment on
the matter except to say:
I'VE have planned for sometime to
play the 'Ku. ,klux Khan and we will
play it this week, as scheduled. 1t
deals with the early reconstruction
days in the, south. and the 'Ku Klux
Khan as it existed then. There is
nothing in it that is detrimental to
the knights of the ku Klux and, If
L were to guess, / should say the
knights would find it enjoyable"

Jane Cows fame as a star is no

shedding roles-roles that won for
her the sobriquet of Crying Jane"
The new play. "Smilin' Through" in
which the Selwyns are to present her
at the jefferson theatre on Thurs
day evening. November II, Is a play
of laughter as well as tears. selected
for her because the dual role she is
called upon to enact would show for
the first time the lighter side of her
art as an emotional actress.
The noted stage beauty made a
great personal triumph in "Smilin'
Through" when the Selwyns first pro-
duced Allan Langdon Martins un-
usual play in New York. All through
the new sensation of her success is
romantic comedy scenes no less than
by the fantastic character of several
scenes In this drama of hate and love,
mysticism and war heroes coming
into their own.
There is play within a play,
which gives the fair star her oppor-
tunity to charm the public in the
frills and ferbulows of bygone gen.
erations, and in one of the final
scenes she even glides forth entranc-
ingly as the spirit of the hoop
skirted bride whose tragic death has
left a long trail of hate and de-
spair. These mystic scenes, by the
way, have been heartily praised by
Sir oliver Lodge. the British leader
of psychic research.

MIsHEL PIASTRO, RUSSIAN
XIOLINIST. TO PLAY HERE

+ The famous Russian violinist, Mis-
he'll Piastro, has probably had one
of the most brilliant careers on the
concert stage of today, and one of
the widest scope.
During the years of 1914-19 he
made a tour of the orient and the far
east, where he gave more than 400
concerts. His successes throughout
these strange lands can best De
judged by his press notices. He
played before European audiences
and native princes in all sorts OF
chimes and under all sorts of condi-
tons, conditions seldom experienced
by concert artists.
He made his American debut on
October 3, 1920, in Carnegie hall, New
York city. and Immediately gained
the recognition of the critical press
as one of the master violinists of our
generation. In this hall, before a
large and fashionable audience, Pas
tro strengthened the earlier impress
sion and won a host of new admirers.
He will be presented at the Jefferson
theatre on Wednesday evening, Mo-
vember 16, at $3.50 o'clock.

INDIAN BOAT CRAFT VANISHING

The coming of the gasoline engine and
the cheap power boat is crowding' the
famous Indian dugouts from the seas.
Today the northwestern Indian possesses
his own launch or owns share in a
power schooner. Only the old men and
squaws paddle the more antiquated yet
more beautiful craft
The finished Indian dugout, no matter
what its model, is beautiful in line, smooth
and handsomely finished. No white man
has ever rivaled the Indian at this crafts
manship. These canoes vary in size from
very small ones in which only one occu-
pant can be seated, to the huge war
carry so people Dugouts are the pro-
duct chiefly of the Indians of the Pacific
Northwest and southwestern Alaska,
though craft of this kind of an excep-
tionally artistic design are also made by
the Indians in South America and other
tropical countries.
Indian dugouts are graceful and sea-
worthy and have been known to make
trips extending hundreds of miles. The
building of them is slow work. 1t takes
an Indian with modern tools at least a
week to hollow out small dugout-Es.

THE FURROW END

The plough stands idle at the furrow end,
Where Mulard left it but six days ago,
And half stubble field lies waiting him
Who nevermore will either plough or
sow.
The meadowsweet along the bank,
The honeysuckle in the lane,
May bloom and scent thousand times
And he shall never come again.
The sun which glinted on the harness
brass,
AS with his plough the autumn land he
broke,
Today comes stealing through his dam
son frees
And catches brass on well-planed
joiner's oak.
Where lavender and thyme perfume,
And bees go needless through the phlox,
Thereon the cleanly red-brick path
Lies Mullard in his apexed box.
And green-black coats and collars strange
ly white,
Drawn from the ancient dresser and
the chest,
Move in that apple-scented garden place
Which of all earth old Mullard loved
the best,
And now they bear him shoulder high
To where in quiet lies his wife,
Dead kings with equal words are met
l am the Resurrection and the Life.

Chabbook, London.

Were we to live our lives anew,
How many things we would not do;
Could we this journey brief remake,
How many joys we'd scorn to take,
How many joys we'd sacrifice
Rather than pay their bitter price;
Mans greatest shame in every test
Is having failed to be his best.
