appeared as a really great man, de-
clarlng he would Loyalty accept the
decision, would do all he could TO
avoid embarrassing the new govern
ment, and would even help IL when
that was possible without sacrificing
his principles. Later the Sim Fein
irreconcilable women persuaded him
TO modify this generous position. and
h chances OF unity In the ranks faded
away.
Next day after IA message OF con
graduation TO Ireland from the pope
had been read, II was moved that
Arthur Griffith be elected president
OF the Dali and a hot debate ensued.
Finally De Valera and his supporters
walked out of the hall and the 65
remaining delegates unanimously elect

EINAL formulation of the naval

ington conference was delayed by sew
eral matters. One vas a difference
of opinion as TO the methods of scrap
ping the 6S capital ships that are to
be given up by the United States,
Great Britain and Japan. Six OPP
tional methods are prescribed, and
Mr.. Balfour objected to the PROPOSE
tion of Mr.. Hughes that the bulk of
the retired ships be destroyed alb
solutely. The British were not will
ing to say yet what tonnage of the
eliminated vessels they would convert
to peace time uses. No doubt was
felt that this dispute could be adj
justed amicably. Another cause of de-
lay was Baron Kato's desire to get
further instructions from Tokyo con
corning the agreement to maintain the
status quo of Pacific ocean naval
bases and Notifications. The question
was as TO what japanese islands
should he excluded as comprising
Japan proper"
Negotiations regarding Shantung
were resumed last week by the Jap
aDese and Chinese delegates and 1t
was predicted an agreement would be
reached before long. Consequently
the delegates of all nations in the on
ference began drawing up a nine
power treaty dealing with far eastern
affairs and especially with Chinese
questions. II is believed this will de
lay the adjournment OF the conference
until the enc Of the month.

This is the influence Of the American

The magical effect Of America upon

Sam Harris HeedS
PIaygoers; Stars
Jeanne EdgelS

"Well, l always did believe that au-
diences made stars" said Sam ". Har-
ris. surveying the incsndcscent name
Of Jeanne Eagcls. SO the next morning
every sign, electric board and all ad-
vertising was changed according TO
those prescribed rules which elevate
one to stardom-that is, the giving OF
the name Of the player the precedence
and, what was more. II was done as
a surprise to Miss Eagels, and a very
pleasant surprise it was when she
came TO the thester the next evening.
II must not be construed from the
above that Miss Eagels is one Of those
stars made overnight. She has travelled
the hard road Of disappOintments and
obstacles which come to every actor
and actress who reaches fame Despite
what has been said Of her so-called
meteoric career. Miss Eagels made her
debut on the stage at the age Of seven
and since the age Of ten has been be-
fore the footlights continuously.
Miss Eagels thinks that II Is a mis-
take to allow the impression to get
about that an actress who suddenly
achieves success overnight in n part
necessarily, or even at all. does so with
out long and srduous training. expert
ence and hard work back Of H. In her
own case, when she suddenly was called
upon TO play Elsie Ferguson's role in
"0utcast" Miss Eagels was hailed az
one leaping into fame apparently with
out having served long apprenticeship
on the stage.
But Miss Eagels, who believes that
nothing worth attaining is accom-
plished without much hard work and
sincere application. feels that those
theatergoers who have been so kind 70
her should know that any success that
she may have attained on the stage
has come after years Of painstaking
effort on her part and has been due to
her gradual climbing up Of every
round Of the dramatic ladder.
Born In Boston, Of Spanish and
Irish-American parentage, Miss Eagels
early moved TO Kansas City, AID il was
there that she first went on the stage
in a stock company at the age Of seven.
Then she went 10 school until she
reached the age Of ten years, when she
again returned to a stock company. and
ever since then has been playing in all
kinds Of parts in stock and in roper
toire travelling companies in the Mid
die and Far West. appearing in both
dramatic and musical plays and finally
working her way East in musical
comedy.
Always a good dancer almost from
the time she was able TO walk, Miss
Eagsls as a little child became a elev, r
toe dancer. After running the gamut
OF the stage parts in stock companies
she decided that she would like 20 gain
further experience on the stage and
joined a musical comedy in which Rich
ard Carle appeared. Il was from this
musical comedy that Miss Esgels over
night jumped into Elsie Ferguson's
role in "0uteast" in a second COM
psny formed to play in the South, but
which played the outlying theaters in
greater New York in place.
Then came Miss Eagels's appearance
with much artistic and popular sue
cess, with George Arliss, playing the
leading role with this accomplished
actor in "The Professors Love Story"
in his revival Of "Disrasli." and again
