repartee. But who, having thought of 1t,
could resist using It! As she became
more prominent both on the stage and in
society her reputation for ready wit be-
came known outside her own circle, and
then any story cruel or rude was fast
ened upon Her without any considera-
tion for her feelings. / am convinced
that she never said an unkind thing with
the intention of being cruel, but merely
because she bubbled over with fun and
humor that she delighted In sharing with
others, She loved the beautiful In all
things and shrank from everything ugly.
She Is inclined to be intolerant of In
competence In her supporting company.
Whenever / have heard an unpleasant
remark about Mrs. Campbell 1t has gen.
orally come either from very bad actor
who has been In her company or from
some one who has never met her at all.
At the time met her first she was man
aging the Royalty Theater, London. She
was producing Rostand's Les Roman
esques." and was engaged to play one of
the two fathers. AS a stop gap she had
put up "Magda" with the idea that it
would only run few weeks. 1t proved
very successful and ran several months.
AS was on the salary list with nothing
to do understudied TIE part Of Soh,Dartg
in "Magda" (the first and only time that
I have been an understudy) and after
ward played the part with her. Eventu--
ally we played Lies Romanesques," which
proved to be one of those great artistic
slccesses that have to be withdrawn in
the very flower Of their artistic youth
owing to difference of opinion between
the public and the producer as to their real
merit as entertainments. BY this time
Mrs. Campbell had made up her mind that
I was capable of playing more important
parts and she had the courage Of her con-
victions, for when she revived THE NO
torious Mrs. Ebbsmith" played the Duke
Of So. OIpherts, the part created by Sir
John Hare, and In "The Second Mrs. Tan
queray" she cast me for CavIev DrnD1ntte.
These two years we're among the pleas

Then came her offer to visit Amer
lea, and 1t was arranged that my wife
and / should accompany her and that l
was to play both the Duke of st. Olpherts
and Cdyley DrNmmIe, two exceedingly
snowy parts that no actor with average
ability could fail In. We were to come
over here for four months. At the end
of that time l should probably have re-
mained under her management but for
the fact that she was no longer running
her own theater.
Her raising me from an actor of COM
paratively small parts in London (of
course I had had broad experience in
the English provinces) to the important
characters IN MRS. Ebbsmith" and MRS.
Tanqueray" was not done without an ef
fort on her part Mr.. Pinero had to be
dealt with, and / remember 1t took all
Ter power of persuasion and cajolery to
induce him to intrust me with parts on
which so much depended for the success
Of his plays. / remember he was ques-
tfoning me as to whether l honestly
thought could do It, and explaining what
he wanted. He said: "As the Duke Of st.
OIpherts want you to look like Lord
Byron grown old" He was giving me
serious instructions and I was receiving
them In an equally serious frame of mind.
But at this we heard sudden explosion
of pent up laughter from Mrs. Campbell
who at once apolOgized without explana-
tion. However. she gained her point Gas
she nearly always did with Pinero and
he gave his consent.
After he had gone asked her what she
laughed at. She looked with open eyed
innocence and said "When?" said,
when he said he wanted me to make up
like Lord Byron" She screamed with de-
light and said, "Oh, don't you know ha

By GEORGE ARLIss.

WV HEN I heard that Mrs. Patrick
wv Campbell (she used to object
to being called Mrs. Pat') was
to write her "reminiscences l felt mo-
mentary anxiety that she might through
evil example descend to the level of some
of her compatriots both male and
female, who have found pleasure and
profit In telling tales out of school and
holding their friends and acquaintances
UP to ridicule What an easy game 1t
must be for one who is intimately ac-
quainted with great statesmen Of a
great empire to tell stories about them
that rob them of their dignity and reduce
But rejecting a moment and recalling
my somewhat intimate acquaintance
with Mrs. Campbell twenty years ago l
felt satisfied that however far her love
OF fun might lead her she could never
be mean spirited; she never was--I never
knew her to do mean thing--and she
is not likely to have altered. But fash
ions change and women will go far with
fashion. II 1t Is to be the vogue in
society to no longer shield our friends or
to respect their condolences, but rather
to give them away without scruple at so
much a word, why should she not follow
the lead? SO confess to sense of re-
lief and a little shame at my own doubts
when I read her avowal that she pub
lished Sir James Barries letters with his
full knowledge and consent I have as
yet read only two installments OF the
Life" published In THE New York HER
AID and the letters from an admirer
that have so far appeared are so fam
boyant and SO superficial that they can
not surely be regarded as love letters,
and II is dificult to believe that the au-
thor of them would ever have been sat-
isfled with an audience OF one. It must
be an immense satisfaction to him that
they are at last given to the world to be

eventually included in his complete
works."
AS I was never "in love" with Mrs.
Campbell l am not moved to either ex-
aggerate or depreciate those qualities
that had ample room to observe. There
is perhaps no greater opportunity of
forming an unerring estimate of charac-
ter than to be closely associated with
one another in the theater during a
period of successive years. There is
much In the hardship of rehearsals, Of
travel, of study, to shatter the nerves, to
try the temper and lay bare the weak
nesses Of our nature.
A sense of humor is generally regarded
as saving grace. Personally ! think
it's value to those who possess It 10 over
estimated. Mrs. Campbell has a great
sense OF humor, and | think perhaps 1t
has not always been her most tactful
friend. She is kind, considerate and gen.
erous, but she cannot resist giving voice
to the humorous sally and the sponta-
neous repartee as they fash across her
mind. She never means to be unkind,
and, having said thing that hurts, she
is the first to recognize her indiscretion,
to admit her fault and to try to heal the
wound But It is very difflcult for real
wit to always refrain from the sharp
thrust even though 1t may perhaps strike
home.
There is q story we'll known among
theatrical people that Is told of her
when she was appearing in The Sec
ond Mrs. Tanqueray." Her manager
was playing the leading part with her,
and he imagined that during one of his
serious scenes she had laughed up her
sleeve at him, so when the curtain fell
he sent the call boy to her dressing room
with the message, would Mrs. Campbell
please not laugh at him on the stage"
Mrs. Campbell sent back her compli-
ments and the message that she didn't
laugh at him on the stage, she always
waited until she got home" This is
perhaps fair example Of her sharp

The gentleness and dearness with
which he received us; he saw how proud
we were to talk with him at that hour OF
night and how we loved the play.
Whenever am with him l feel mon

and have him tell me about things that
only he knows. IL is the guilelessness
and trust Of child he gathers up with
both hands and treasures. He winks one
eye at the cunning OF the grown-ups.

his presence, and this must be because

cramp-and I have had to indite with
the left. Perhaps those letters did it;
the hand that wrote them then grandly
destroyed itself, as the true loyalist
smashed his glass when he had drunk a
royal health. At all events, we scarcely
know the right nowadays-pass the time
Of day and so on, but nothing more. At
first the left was but an amanuensis. I
dictated to it, but had to think down the
right arm.
But now the left is my staff. Also I
find that the person who writes with his
left is quite another pair of shoes from
the one who employs his right; he has
other standards, sleeps differently. has
novel views on the ontology of being. and
is more sinister character. Anything
curious or uncomfortable about the play
of Mary Rose arises from its having
been a product of the left hand. And now
justification has my left to give permis-
sion to publish letters written by that
other fellow, my right? They don't agree
about you at all fright says you make
people love and writhe). They don't
agree about me, they even hold contrary
opinions as to what the letters are about.
Left says that unless there is a cypher
in the letters 1t can't understand why you
want to print them. By the way, as that
is what this letter is about, you can print
them If you like. Left has the vaguest
recollections of the doings apparently
referred to in the letters, when you
one across the way. On the other hand,
what memories do these doings recall to
right. who is at present jogging me to let
1t get hold of a pen again. The pretty
things it wishes to say to you, but left
won't pass them on.

days when 1 was father to you both.
But enough of this. l can't pretend
any more-not for long. Left likes you
every whit as much as right does, as does
the somewhat battered frame to which
they are for the moment still attached.
And we all send you our love, and wish
for you the best kind of happiness and
courage for any evil hour, and may the
book be worthy of you. Yours,

SLASH
THROAT OF YOUTH
Greenwood Boy Held Up and Badly
Cut When Leaving Pic
ture Show

Greenwood, May 5.-With his
throat cut so deep that his jugular
vein was grazed, Troy Carter, an 10
voar old white boy, is dangerously
wounded at his home here after be-
ing held up by armed highwaymen
on his way home from a picture
show last night. Bill Sweezer, his
companion, had his clothes slashed
in several places, but did not suffer
any injuries. Police officers and the
sherif's forces with a posse Of citi-
zens have been searching for the
highwaymen since a short time af-
ter the deed, but have found no
trace of them. Bloodhounds trailed
them to the edge of a mill village but
lost their trail there.
According to Sweezer, he and
Carter we're taking a short cut
through a newly developed street
about $50 o'clock when two men
masked with handkerchiefs over
their faces stepped from behind
some vines and demanded their
money, Carter reached in his pocket
to take out his money and, as he
did so, n of the aighwaymen at
tackled him, slashing his throat with
a pocket knife. The other highway
man slashed Sweezer's clothing. AS
soon as Carriers throat was cut,
both assailants fled without taking
the money they had demanded.
Sweezer said they could not tell
whether the men were white or ne
groes, but he believed they were
white. Neither he nor Carter had
any money except a small amount
of change.
Carter's condition is serious, but
physicians say he is not fatally in
jured.

DEATH CLAIMS BANKER
Henry P. Dawson Dies ON Operating
Table Saturday.

Henry P. Dawson Dies on Operating
Table Saturday.
New York, May 7.-Henry P. Da-
vison, member of the banking firm OF
J. P. Morgan & Co., and directing
head of the American Red Cross dur
ing the World war, died about 1880
o'clock Saturday afternoon on the
operating table while surgeons were
attempting to remove a tumor from
his brain at his country estate in Lo-
Gust Valley, l.. I.
The internationally known fnan-
cier faced death imperturbedly as ne
had met life. Known on the street as
one who never showed undue alarm
he took no formal farewell of his
family and joked with his loved ones
while he was preparing to leave with
his close associates two requests, in
case he should die under the ether.
His first request vas that he should
be laid to rest in Locust Valley,
with it's rolling stretches of green and
Towering apple blossoms, that he had
loved.
The second was that his funeral
should be as simple and unostenta-
|tious as possible.
1t was only last night that an
nouncement was made that Mr.. Davi-
son, who went under the knife last
August, would have to undergo an
other operationtion today.
He did not rally as well as had
beer expected, however, and the sur
geons decided that another operation
was imperative. This bulletin issued
about 2 o'clock told of failure:
"Mr. Henry P. Dawson died today
upon the conclusion of an operation
upon an iniltrating tumor in the
brain which could only be partially
removed"

SPRING CEREMONIAL
FOR HEJAZ TEMPLE
Rock Hill Prepares for a Large
Gathering Of Shriners Next
Week.

Rock Hill, May -Shriners of
Rock Hill have practically completed
details for the spring ceremonial of
Hejaz temple, which will be held
here May 18, when it is expected that
from 1900 to 1000 Shriners, togeth-
er with a large number of women,
will be in attendance. Nothing will
be left undone to make the stay of
the Shriners in Rock Hill a pleasant
memory for the future of Hejaz tenn
pie.
The ceremonial will be held in the
gymnasium of Winthrop college and
the local committees are counting on
making the sands of the Sahara cool
in comparison to the floor of the Win
throp gymnasium when the large
class of candidates are required to
seek the goal that must be attained
before they are qualified to don the
fez. A large class will be on hand.
Special Pullman trains will operate
from Greenville, Spartanburg, Green
wood and Columbia, while Pullmans
from many other places will be at
tached to regular trains. The Chester
Shriners will come over in a body
and will be in the parade 100 per
cent. strong, every man in full dress.
Arrangements have been made for a
systematic parking of cars of all
Shriners coming by automobile.
All arrangements have been made
for the dinner and contract has been
let for a minimum of 1900 dinners.
More will be on hand if needed. If
the weather is fair dinner will be
served in a grove. A building is ready
if the weather is inclement.
Plenty of entertainment will be
provided for the women accompany
ing their mobiles. Special committees
have been assigned the task of ee-
ing that the feminine contingent is
we'll looked after. There will be spe-
cial rest and reception rooms for
their comfort and convenience, and
there will be a dance and entertain
ment. A special entertainment will
probably be arranged at Winthrop a
