w is na unaaestionaDiy Si5 %d 'io the most not
w able novelty the American the
ater has produced in a decade-if not
a generation. If Eugene O'Neill had
written nothing else he would be ac-
counted Il brilliant dramatist because
of his "The Emperor Jones' If
Charles S. Gilpin never acts in any
thing else-and this seems highly
probable-he will rank among the big
actors of the American stage.
1t is a tremendous thing, this play.
1t gets deep into ones imagination. 1t
shakes the spectators emotions and
leaves them rather bruised and irri-
tated 1t may be called narrowing,
unpleasant, stinging, but most GER
tainly no one can follow the adven-
lures of the fear-racked mind of this
audacious braggart without expert
encing violent emotional reactions
and it is for this that we have thea
tiers.
1t is certain that the author did
not have Gilpin in mind when he
wrote, and it requires such an actor
as this to give it its full force.
The relentless beat of the tOm-toms,
the uncanny atmosphere created by
the settings, the dance of the voodoo,
the shining bodies of the blacks, all
contribute to the greatness of the play
and the perfection of the illusion. 1t
may be that some of these We're mere
ly chance, but they are part of the
O'Neill play and to O'Neill must go
the credit for them. Surely he wrote
knowingly of the manner in which
this primitively clever Pullman porter
descended to diabolical rottenness and
then lost his life and found his soul
in the torments of feveriSh night in
the woods. He was not haphazard in
the treatment of his theme (the raw
ages of fear), and in so many ways he
ostensibly is brilliant that one is con-
vinced that the entire thing is devel-
oped by sheer art and If there is the
result of chance in some incidents it
is because O'Neill has written such
tremendous play that taese incidents
come out of its unsounded depths.
SO much has been written about this
play and the star that theatergoers
are well informed about it and there
is little left for comment by the play
reporter. Gilpin carries the burden
of the entire affair almost unaided and
does it in u fashion that is flawless.
One is impressed by the beauty of
his voice-in spite of a noticeable cold
and the fine intelligence that grasps
and projects the subtleties. The way
he shows the gradual ascendancy of
fear is admirable. His work, indeed,
is practically perfection and ranks
him among truly great actors of the
American stage.
Most interesting to us in Denver is
how the Broadway audiences take to
this play and to what extent the
theater will be patronized. The real
theatergoer owes it to himself to see
this play because it is so thoroughly
distinctive, but as it is novelty there
Is bound to be a timidity about risk
ing the time and money to see it. If
one seeks entertainment along-that
is frivolity and diversion at no ex-
pense of thought-"The Emperor
Jones" will leave him puzzled. But If
one really admires fine acting, and is
willing to accept his dramatic punches
in five-ounce gloves he will revel in
this play.-Denver Post.

Arrangements are being made for
the organization of the Business Mems
Club, which it is hoped to begin about
the middle of the month. There
should be at least a dozen men in the
club, although there is no reason why
there should not be twice that number.
The best and strongest men in their
line are being secured to give the
talks.

Indians May Fish and Hunt
Without Licenses.

Boise, April 25.-When Chief
David w. Scott and Felix Loitry,
Nez Perez Indians, return to
their people this week they will
take with them the privilege OF
hunting and fishing in the state
OF Idaho without a license, ac-
cording to the Walla Walla
treaty of 1855. This privilege
was held today to be prior right
to the laws of Idaho for the Nez
Perces, and Chief Scott will take
with him letter from Otto M.
Jones, state game warden, set
ting forth this fact. The chief
has accomplished that part of his
mission.
The state, however, regulates
the Indians hunting and fishing
so far as seasons and the amount
of game they take; the provis-
ions and regulations applying to
the killing OR taking of game or
fish within Idaho apply to the
Nez Perez Indians.
The Indians, who came here to
get information for their people,
have been royalty entertained
since coming to Boise Monday.

CANARY ISLAND EMHRoIDERIEs

The embroidery and drawn-work
industry of the Canaries, though moi
a very important one, holds rather
unique position in the trade of the
islands. Teneriffe embroidery has
been known widely for many years
and there is constant, though
small, demand for it. Local Stats
tics show that 1925 pounds OF
embroideries, drawn-work and lace
were shipped to Is countries in
1920, and the records of the Ameri-
can consulate in Teneriffe disclose
exports of $500 pounds, with a de-
clared value of $39,150, to the
United States during this period.

LOST FORTUNE IN RuRLEs

A debtor who, in 1914, borrowed
100000 Russian rubles, then worth
about 100000, can now repay in
full with $3.50, Judge Russell has
decided in the chancery division of
the royal courts of justice at Lon
don. However, a stay of execution
was granted with view to an APP
peal.
The parties were the British Bank
of Foreign Trade, which borrowed
the 100000 rubles from the Russian
Commercial and Industrial bank
against securities which the bor-
rover now seeks to redeem. The
lending bank, however, insisted on
payment of 100000 in sterling.
The judge held that the loan was
a ruble loan repayable in rubles,
either imperial Romanoff, Kerensky
or soviet issues, whichever were
available. Soviet rubles were quoted
at about 60 for penny at the time
of the courts decision.

o'o Darky's Repartee by No Means ss
successful as He Had Thought
IL Might BE.

In a small country town lived an
old darby who had been a slave. He
had been arrested dozen times for
stealing chickens. And the children
OF the town all knew him, and when
he would come along the streets with
bag under his arm the children
would yell at him, "Roost high,
chickens, here comes Croker p
(That was his name.)
One time he was coming along the
street and a man who had at one
time stolen calf met him. But
the man who had stolen calf didn't
know that Croker knew he had
stolen a calf. He was about half
drunk and thought he was going to
have some fun with Croker. So he
yelled at Croker several times,
"Roost high, chickens, here comes
Croker p
And old Croker just stood and
looked at him for few minutes and
then yelled "Ma-a-h," just like
young calf, and it made the man so
mad that he walked over and hit
Croker and knocked him down.
Old Croker lay on the ground
until the man walked away, and
then he got up and brushed himself
off and said very quietly, "My God,
that calf can kick." philadelphia

DENY MAN is DETERIoRATING
Scientists Have Shown That the Aver
age Stature Is About What 1t
Has Always Been.

1t appears from the results of
scientific measurements made in
France that the average stature of
man is neither increasing nor de-
creasing. The skeletons of the men
who inhabited France at period
when Europe was the home of lions,
elephants, rhinoceroses, hyenas and
reindeer are of very nearly the same
size as those of the French people
of today.
Yet the surroundings amid which
these early men lived were remark
ably different from those enjoyed by
their successors. Their best abodes
were caves, and to hold possession
of them they had to wage warfare
upon such fierce beasts as the saber-
toothed tiger and the cave bear.
Without our modern weapons it
would seem that they should have
possessed superior bodily powers, but
there is no evidence that they did.
They had human cunning, however,
which always prevails over brute
strength.
Later came the ancestors of the
Gauls and Franks, and they seem to
have slightly exceeded the cavemen
in stature, and also to have been
trifie taller than their modern de-

! 1915-Radio communication between
America and Japan is completed. The
stations were located at San Francisco
and Tokyo with relay station at Hon

The American Telephone and Tele-
| graph company succeeded in radio tel
| ephoning from Arlington station at
Washington to Hawaii, a distance of
nearly 5000 miles.
Secretary Daniels of the United
States navy transmitted telephone

ice, which is formally opened.
1917-Senatore Marconi visits the
United States and aids greatly in re-
cruiting for radio operators for the
United States army.
1918-Wireless telephony progressed
rapidly, being used to great extent
in the equipment of airplanes.
Several new long range stations
were erected in the United States, it
being claimed for one built at Annapo-
lis. Md, that it was capable of COM
munication at 1000 miles. The United
States government also opened high
power station at Bordeaux.
In September of this year radio sig
nails sent from a point $4,000 miles
away were received in Sydney, Aus
