East OF Suez' is the kind of melo-
drama suited to the theatergoer of the
day. 1t makes no more serious at
tempt to deal with the question of the
Eurasian girl on her native heath than
"The Whip" did TO give a genuine
picture of life in England. The play
by Mr.. Vaughan does aim to keep
the spectators always thrilled by the
actions OF these Orientals under such
unusual conditions as they are brought
together in the play.
This is the only kind OF melodrama
possible in the playhouse Of the spoken
word to-day. To tho mind OF the
writer. the new play at the Eltlnge
accompllshes Its purpose admirably.
The plotting Celestials with their sinis-
ter warfare against the English, the
Eurasian girl surrounded by her Euro
pean lovers against the mysterious
Chinese background. the contrasting
natures and ideals OF life-they seem
the best kind of nelodrsma possible
to the stage to-day.

~ ON MARQUIS is, of course. to
be credited with the inven-
- tion of "The Old Soak" botn
in book and play. but 1t now appears
that. without realizing the Importance
of his gift to the world. he has be-
slowed on embarrassed humanity an
other character destined to be enor-
mously helpful under some conditions.
This new discovery was made last
week, when the friends Of a play
wright insisted on seeing him after
the second act Of his play had highly
delighted them. In vain they ap-
plauded and called. The leading ac-
tress shrugged her shoulders, looked
helplessly toward the wings and tried.
by her pretty pantomime. to make 1t
plain that she could not persuade the
dramatist to appear.
But the audience was determined to
show him the compliment Of recall,
so the clatter continued. Finally q
disturbance was heard at the head of
one aisle. Applause showed that the
dramatist was approaching from that
end Of the theater. But he did not
go far. Waving a cigar in one hand,
he walked few yards down the aisle.
1t was plain that he was laborlng un-
der some excitement. The applause
broke out afresh and then ceased as
it was seen by those who had turned
their heads that he was DreDaring TO
speak. But he did not makSAa speech.
Indeed, he confined himself to single
sentence:
'Al's been here!" was the extent of
his remarks.
OF course Al is the gentlemanly boot
logger and ex-barkeep of THE Old
Soak" 1t is largely through his efforts
that the golden tide of alcohol Is kept
flowing through the play at the Plym-
outh Theater. So the spectators. ap-
plauding their playwright retiring UP
the aisle. understood the meaning of his
crisp grafton.

DID n Maid Lose a Jobs

When Miss Ruth Chatterton, who
made tho translation OF LA Tendresse,"
came to the climax of the second act Of
the play at the Empire Theater she was
required to put on a gray velvet cloak
with an elaborate collar Of silver fox.
1t was a most expensive garment and
undoubtedly expensive Indeed. 1t looked
as If with strong pair of opera glasses
spectators might find out Just what the
price had been.
When Miss Chatterton picked up the
cloak n red ticket hung from one lapel.
1t was of those on which the makers
usually write such descriptions as
whether or not 1t is O. perfect thirty-six
and other statistics of this kind. This
card dangled In view of the audience for
while. Then the actress lifted up the
cloak ana from one sleeve another card
was seen to hang. This was white and
usually contains the important detail Of
the price. Soon both tickets disappeared
as Miss Chatterton discovered the negli-
gence of the person who was expected to
remove such evidences Of newness before
the garment Is taken on the stage. And
the audience wondered what happened to
the maid later that night.

A Chautauqua of stars.

Just because managers say they don't
want any inexperienced beginners and
yet. In order to learn. an actress must
begin at some time. Isabel Withers. who
took the place of Lotus Robb In
"Kempy," wants to establish a dra-
matte Chautauqua. Also such a place
seems especially necessary because the
stock companies are having hard time
fighting the movies and the little the
atcrs have to struggle for existence.
Miss Withers, who acted In The Tav-
ern" also, says: "I believe thht IL we
could organize a dramatic Chautauqua
to meet each summer In or about New
York, where Mrs. Fiske. John Drew. Otis
Skinner, Robert Mantell, Viola Allen,
David Belasco. Arthur Hopkins. Mrs.
Carter and others preeminent in their
profession would lecture and act for the
newcomers In the profession. II would
be of inestimable benef1t to the theatri-
cal profession. Imagine these players

There Is hardly dramatic star on the
American stage who would not become

THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION

In order that the schools OF our
county may be improved and the
buildings made to more properly
accommodate the, increased number
Of pupils, which are overcrowding
most OF them, it is proposed to raise
$4,000 by bond issue, the pro-
ceeds to be apportioned to the
various Districts according to the
needs as determined by commits
sion of five appointed for this pur-
pose. This commission met last
week, and after a careful survey OF
school conditions in the county, an
nounced the awards as decided
upon, and published in our issue OF
October 20.
The voters will be called upon al
the coming election, November z
to decide whether or not the County
Commissioners will have authority
to bond Cecil county in the sum
mentioned for school improvements
Everyone recognizes there is
pressing need throughout the coun-
ty for larger and better school
buildings, as the present crampeo
conditions handicap teachers and
pupils alike. But the best means
of raising the needed funds for i'm
provement has long been in dis
pute, some favoring a direct tax,
others the plan Of bond issue as
decided upon by our Commissioners,
for your sanction or rejection, at
the polls on election day, next
month. These bonds to be paid OH
eventually, Sby a sinking fund &C
curing from year to year, by a small
tax, until the required amount has
been raised.
In favoring this plan the North
East Star has the following to say:
Listen, Mr.. Taxpayer, the school
bond issue means less than three
cents to your tax rate. If the bond
issue failsy direct taxation for this
purpose must be resorted to. Such
direct taxation to meet the demands
that came from every section of the
county, for this amount means far
greater increase in your tax rate fol
not d few years to come. Better for
you that this cost be spread over a
long term of years. Don't stand in
your own light, and at the same
time delay the pressing demands fol
the necessary educational advantage
of the children of this county"
The matter has been put up t.
the voters to decide, and must first
have their sanction before the Com
missioners are empowered to act.

PUMPKIN DOLLS.


When autumn days had rolled

And frost was white upon the
ground, i.
With sister Sue, I'd take my way
TO where the baby pumpkins lay.
Among the, sheaves throughout the
field
We'd always find generous yield;
And cutting out the very best,
Would hasten home to get them
dressed.
With brothers knife, we'd carve the
eyes,
The nose, the mouth of generous
size;
And then arrayed in hat and dress
They looked real fine, must con-
fess.
Since then I've seen dolls dressed in
laces,
With flaxen curls, apd lovely faces;
And some that came from Paris gay
Gould say mamma" In fine way,
But when my mind does harkep
back
To childhood days. now gone alack:
Oh that they might return once
more
And we could look the pumpkins
DER.
Quite often, they had necks awry;
But what cared sister Sue, and I?
We loved them better far, ween,
With crooked necks and stripes of
green.
So take your dolls with golden hair,
From gay PareA or anywhere;
Tho richly dressed, we would not
trade
