Life, it seems, is much the same
to-day in what are known as certain
circles of New York society as it was
twelve years ago, when Eugene Walter
first made brutal comment upon it in
"The Easiest Way"
Though drastic alterations are said
to have happened since then to the
scheme of such things, Mr.. Walter and
Mr.. Beasco, in their resurrection of
the play last evening at the Lyceum,
had to readjust it but little to make it
fit as reflection Of and upon the
present time. In fact, rather casual
recollection of the occurrences of
twelve years age in 1.-THE Easiest Way
suggests that the only important
amendment offered to suit those in
cidents to current circumstance was in
the minor detail of the lady's destina-
ton. Twelve years ago she went to
Rector's. Last night she started for
Montmartre as the curtain fell. Such
are the vast upheavals Indigenous to
historic reformation.

Miss Frances Starr as the hunted
quarry Of Mr. Joseph Kilgour's volup-
tuous Wall Street broker was as mod

gour) as she was when first thew met
Miss Laura Walkers practical and
mercenary ex-coryphee was as recop-
nlzable and as much approved bv the
audience as in the feshly days of the
past. The vinous parties and the morn
lngs after were almost the same as
now they are. Laura Murdock's verdanr
sultor was as impetuous, as obstinate
and as bigoted as he was in the dim
and remote distance; and the whole
affair was as fresh and undated as Mr.
Belasco's irresistible sunsetting behind
the Colorado mountains of the first act

suspects, was not so self-conscious as

the forlorn Murdoch girl and, save for
minor cliches and affectations.. she

to make the revival a distinguished
success.

Mars to Show
If Life Exists
Americans Planning Big
gest Telescope to Bring
Planet q Little More Than
Mile and a Half Away
Mine Shaft as Barrel
Flat Sheet Iron Dish, Filled
With Mercury, Will Serve
RS a Huge Mirror

PARIS. Sept. (By The Associated
Press).-Snapshcts Of Mars, as if the
planet were little more than a mile and
half away, arc promised by B. Nc
Afee, American scientist and collabora-
tor with David Todd, the we'll known
American astronomer, in an article in
the Continental edition Of "Thc London
Daily Mail" describing plans for the
biggest telescope ever conceived, which,
he says, will solve the question as to
whether life exists on Mars The in
strument should be ready in 1924, when
Mars will be nearer the earth than for
century, according to Mr.. McAfec.
who is planning the telescope on his
estate near peauville. Mr.. McAfee
says:
Professor Todd found n mine shaft
at Chanaral, Chile, over which Mars
will be at its zenith several times in
1924. We intend to use the shaft as the
barrel of the telescope. 1t will be
sheathed and will be fifty feet in diam
eter. The difficulty of glass mirror
VIII be obviated by the use of an nven-
ton OF mine, fiat sheet iron dish,
fifty feet in diameter, on which mer-
curry will be poured.
When the dish is rotated at GER
tain speed the surface Of the mercury
assumes the necessary concavity and
forms splendid mirror. Owing to the
great luminosity that the telescope will
give, we will he able to make a snap
shot, instead of time exposure. "A
magnification of twenty-five millions
will be possible, bringing Mars within
a mile and half. am convinced that
life exists an Mars and expect to prove
it,"
Mr.. McAfee will leave for Chile on the
yacht Zarife next spring for prelimi-
nary work. Professor Todd and he will
remain in Chanaral throughout 1924.
Many efforts have been made to es-
tabllsh communication with Mars, es-
peclally at periods when it was nearest
the earth, and prizes have been offered
to the first person who could establish
such communication. Last year, in
March, Mars was 100000 miles from
the earth, which is comparatively near,
and at that time numerous attempts
were made, especially by wireless,
to establish communication. Numerous
fanatic schemes for communication
have been rested, but nothing has
como of these.
AS one example, to give an idea of
the distance between the earth and
Mars, it has been calculated that an
airplane, flying at an average rate of
200 miles an hour would require more
than twenty-seven years to make the
trip.
