1t Pays to Be a

tour in Keith vaudeville.
Miss Walton IL one Of the few
dancers, and certainly the only
American dancer, ever to appear be-
fore King George and Queen Mary.

tertainment given by the Queen Of
Roumania to Marshal Foch, and
when she was presented to tho dis
tinguished military leader. Miss

While in Switzerland. Miss Walton
danced at Lucerne with King Con-
stantine and Prince Paul Of Greece.
The investment Miss Walton has
made in her dancing act shows
something Of the financial profits
of dancing. Frocks costing 81 900
are quite an item in themselves,
but the jewels she displays, dia-
monds and pearls, are worth a for
tune, as are also the ermine and
chinchlila coats she wears.
Miss Walton IL assisted, during
her appearances on the present tour,

foremost exponent of tango in Paris
The Argentine costumes for the

Hard to Recruit
Classic Players

I'm visw Of the fact that there
has been but few Shakespearean
ventures within recent seasons,
Il IN obvious that q definite problem
was presented to Walter Hampton
when he began to recruit his forces
for his productions.
A quarter century ago. for in
stance, II would have been . simple
matter to find competent players
well versed in what are called the
TRADITIONS" Of the Bard: but, save
for tho older men and women, no
such condition obtains today. But It
seems that Mr.. HAmpden cut the
Gordian Knot with Characteristic
boldness. and IN % doing DEM
onstrated that the problem u far
from being - difficult - had been
thought.
TT II true" said Mr.. Hampden. in
discussing the matter that the
younger actors have had little, II
any. experience. But believe there
il scarcely . player Of sincere pur-
pose who does not in his heart ar
IDENTITY hope to play Shakespeare
hence, the raw material at least has
tho desire to know. Further. per
sonally think that much too much n
made of that word Traditional It
has become. or did become, fetish
I believe that ghapespeare does not
need a vast knowledge Of these Ira
ditions. at least on tho part Of tho
newer exponents: and I most earn
estly believe that Shakespeare should
be played naturally. That does not
mean colloQuially. Of course, for his
plays are written In q different
mold; but 1t does mean that the
characters should DO played as
though they were live. sentient be-
ings.
TRY to make this clear to tho poo
pie who como to me. and I am glad
to say that I have had very little
difficulty in finding excellent ma
terial: though II Is perhaps true that
must be a little moro patient and
not expect results At once, and tho
older actors rarely want to rant
Onoe they discover that that IL the
last thing I desire. they arc only
too pleased to play easily and nat
urally."

The only country IN THIS llst tndl
regularly produces a surplus is In
dia, which exported over 5000, 0oo,-
OOe pounds per year previous to
1918. and has exported about S,000,-
0Oe, 900 pounds a year since. Be-
fore the war French, Indo-Ch4na
and Siam exported large amounts,
chiefly to other countries in the
Far East. including China and ia
pan. These countries are such heavy
users of rice that the trade shifts
between these countries as the crop
varies in the field in different sec
tons.
The rice crop of the United States
has come nearer to supplying our
domestic needs during the last five
years than ever before and the last
two years have shown that 10 II
possible to produce all we need II
the crop Is sufficiently profitable.
To the end of protection against the
cheaper rice from the Far East the
rice growers asked for a tariff OF
cents a pound on cleaned rice
in the emergency tariff The Cali
fornia growers are particularly
alarmed because of the lowered
ocean rates to the Orient. which
they fear will bring a flood OF rice
later on. The Fordney bill pro-
vides cents a pound duty on milled
rice and l cent per pound ON paddy,
or rough rice. -
The rice crop becomes more and
more important as countries become
more densely populated. Likewise,
in periods of stress and food short
age the crop Is more important be-
cause of its adaptibility to easy
transportation and storage from
year TO year. 1t may be used to re-
place either wheat or potatoes and
is. therefore, a crop OF great value
in preserving the balance of food
supplies in different countries.
The worlds crop has not varied
much in recent years, ranging from
about 10O. 900. 900, 900 to 125, 900, OO0.-
900 pounds since 1900. or this
great total not more than 1900
100000 pounds enter into interna-
tional trade.
