Chart Logic.

In this connection it was Of interest
to study another theory concerning
the action Of the rail shares.
On January Is, May 10 and August
8 the average price OF twenty-five rail-
road stocks made exactly the same
top price, which he took as an indica-
ton that for the time being and on
technical grounds, the recent advance
had spent its force.
This was not to state emphatically
that the rails could not go higher. but
that for the present they would have
a market wherein the policy would be
one of profit taking on the rallies and
waiting for the setbacks naturally in
the circumstances to be expected.
As to the later move he looked for
in the rails, the reports for July and
August. on the belief that they would
indicate further improvement in the
railroad situation, could be used as
the basis.

WORLD HAS CHANGED LITTLE
Like Ponce de Leon, People Today
Are Apt to Believe What They
Want to Believe.

Ponce de Leon didn't originate the
idea OF spring Of eternal youth. That
was not in his mind when he sailed
for the new world. He sailed with
Columbus upon the latter's second trip
and was appointed governor Of Porto
Rico. where he believed gold existed
in abundance. While exploring the is-
land he met an old savage, who told
him that not only was there gold to
be found In another country to the
northward, but also there existed In
the land spring whose waters
brought eternal youth. So the rest.
less adventurer set out upon his
search and discovered Florida.
All Of which Is stated not because
the information is new, but to call at
tention to the fact that Ponce de Leon
believed the eternal youth proposition
because he wanted to, remarks writ
er in the Columbus Dispatch. All of
us, 10 this good day, do the same
thing. We believe that which we de.
sire to believe, whether it Is good or
bad. We believe the scandals we hear
about others when we want to he
Iieve them--and we reject them II we
do not want to believe such things Of
the persons connected with the scan
dal.
Further. we usually hear that which
we are desirous Of hearing. The willy
old savage wanted to get rid of Ponce
de Leon. He knew enough Of human
nature and Of Spanish nature to be
aware that gold--and youth-would
prove highly interesting to the Invader.
That was what Ponce de Leon was ex-
pecting to hear-especially the story
Of gold. But the old savage. to make
the gold story all the stronger and to
lure the invader from the Island all
the more surely, added the eternal
youth proposition to the story which

Others were cursed by Evans,

Egyptian Worship Of the Sun.

The Egyptians were. early In their
history tabout 1000 B. c., attracted
by this flight Of the sun. They evolved
their religion on the thesis that life
was given by the sun. 1t was the heat
that he gave that caused all things to
grow. and he gave to man warmth and
comfort. So they created the god OF
the sun. and called him Ra-Harachte.
In one Of the earliest cities. built OH
the east side Of the Nile, and little
to the north Of modern Cairo. they
erected his first temple. The city was
called On. later named by the Greeks
Heliopolis. the City of the Sun. Here
the Egyptians established the priest.
hood Of Ra, sect that became famous
for Its knowledge Of the occult
sciences. the practice Of magic, and
the laws Of medicine and astrology. II
was with them the youthful Moses
was brought up, and 1t was by the

which finally 'ed 90 the alteration o1

WarfeId in a Role
Submerges Himself

There Is probably no actor now before
the public who more thoroughly sub
merges his own personality to that OF
the character ho is playing than does
David warfield. who is appearing In
David Belasco's play. THE Return OF
Peter Grimm"
Mr.. Warfield is OF the opinion that
the actor. and the role should be- one,
and during the time he Is playing part
he adjusts his mental life, while of
stage as we'll as when appearing In the
theatre, In considerable measure to
the point of view OF the character. This
IL not to say that Mr.. Warheld acts his
roles off the stage. but that he, no doubt
unconsciously moulds his feelings to ac-
cord with the role that for the time en-
cages his interest.
In his private life Mr.. Warfield Is one
OF the kindliest and most unassuming OF
men, democratic to the last degree. he
has the greatest possible enthusiasm Tor
the art of the theatre. Once arrived In
his dressing room he has no thought
save for the character that he Is about
10 play. and during the performance.
whether behind the scenes or actually on
the stage, he Is completely, In every
element of his being, the character that
ne portrays.

Jolson Philosophy
Puts Pep Into
"Bom b0" Rehearsal
Comedian Mildly Reproves
Some Lackadaisical Girls
With O Story.

Al Jolson. back in New York from
three and half years transcontinental
was attending the first rehearsal
of the musical extravaganza "Bombo."
by Harold Atteridge and Sigmund Rom
berg. In which he will dedicate Jolson's
Fffty-ninth Street Theatre this week.
The company of 200 had rehearsed
without him. Jolson's part being played
by an assistant stage director. When
Jolson stepped upon the stage the COM
pany. under j. c. Huffman. general stage
director. and Allan K. Foster. director
Of dances and ensembles. had been re-
hearsing for several hours and was in
dividually and collectively tired.
Jolson got into his part, and its was
evident that ne had rehearSed privately,
for he was thoroughly up on lines and
business But the tired company did not
respond to the pep" which he himself
possessed. Seeing this the comedian
stopped, while slow grin spread over
his features. Then he observed in his
slow. gentle. drawing voice:
I'm not going to tire myself all out
by rehearsing. ] know my part. I'll be
there on the first night"
His manner as he spoke was one In
stantly recognized by every member or
the company. II was the manner OF the
actor who invariably refuses to rehearse
on the grouru that he will be perfect
on opening night and who seldom Is.
Instantly the pride of the company was
aroused. No one wished to stand in the
class of this type Of player. After that
the rehearsal moved with spirit
| A little later one of the directors In

With his expansive grin Jolson walked

"Now yelled the chorus. and 1t wen

directed the revived and inspired re

"Bombo" Is now said to be In perfec
shape for dedicating the latest Shuber

have named in honor Of the comedian.

care for her bonnets. Less advanced
managers have, however, continued to
take advantage of the fun which
American audiences seem to find in
the spinster.
Mr.. Morosco is one of them. He
has just produced at the Playhouse
play with three maiden aunts among It's
characters. Last year he went In FOR
the Harvard drama and gave Mama y
Affair" Whether or not he has as a
result Of that experience foresworn
forever the newer drama, there is. Of
course, no way of knowing. The three
aunts, however, are not without their
eloquence in the matter.
Both Mr.. Boyd and Mr.. Bunner have
the courage of their convictions. When
other authors were throwing the OLD
maid overheard as an antiquated spec
linen of dramatic luggage, they make
the principal fun of the play depend
from three of them. Perhaps to be
reactionary, it Is well. simultaneously
/ to be thorough. and turn back the
hands of the dramatic clock as fai
as they did.
There were other familiar theses o.
the stage in "Wait Till We're Mar
ried." One was the moral superiorit.
of country life. But Is the moral aver
rage higher in the country? Do mel
and women there lead lives that cor
respond more fully to high stand
ard than the lives Of city dweilers

ton without taking 1t for granted tina

Chaplin Picture to
Be Shown in Court

An unusual Aim drama is soon to be
staged in the United States District
Court under the direction OF Judge
Hough. Last Thursday the Judge
granted to the attorney for Charles
Chaplin a temporary injunction which
restrains the Rollo Sales Corporation
from showing or distributing three pic
lures alleged to have been created by
Ralph Spence from quantity OF surplus
film. or 'Ieft over" scenes from twelve
pictures made by Chaplin for the Mutual
Company. Chaplin says the distribution
of these pictures will injure his reputa-
ton. Rollo answers that Spence has
created these pictures equal to anything
the famous comedian has made.
1t is probable that one OF the Chaplin
edited pictures and one of the Spence
edited pictures will be shown In the
court before the Judge and a number OF
prominent exhibitors and producers In
order to obtain opinions as to the rela-
tive merits of the pictures.
