Belasco-"C -"Conscience.'

Lillian Foster, n superb actress, and
Conscience" an excellent bit so Tar
as dramatic realism is concerned, is
the combination offered at the Shu-
bert Belasco Theater this week. 1t
is a noteworthy combination.
The work of Miss Foster is the fea-
ture of the evening. Don Mulally,
the playwright, has given her
role that requires any artistry of
high grade caliber and Miss Foster
gives the role all that it demands,
even more.
The locale OF Conscience" is the
Pacific Northwest and the Yukon.
where men are l. w. W.'s. and dream
ers and women don't have much of a
chance The story is that of prac-
teal woman, a former waitress in a
small town restaurant, who Graves a
good man and a home. She maTries a
dreamer, who for a short time pro-
VideS her with home, but spends all
his time trying to destroy that home
and all others, which he regards as
the greatest stronghold of vicious
economic system. He breaches MarA
and Spencer and strikes to his fellow
workmCn and is fired. The home is
about TO be lost. He leaves for an
other town, promising to send for his
wife as soon as he again becomes a
part of the economic system that he
processes to despise.
For a month he doesn't write. The
wife, whom he always has treated as
a lovely child with an abysmal igno-
rance and often inhuman in her
craving for home, while others suf-
fer convinced that he does not inteEd
to send for her, starts running aroun i.
May, her former chum in the restau-
rant, provides her with men and
amusement. Life for the erstwhile
waitress is moving a fast clip when
the husband returns. He gets a
closeup of the big party in his for
mer home, and the last illusion, the
goodness of woman, wavers. He asks
her to return. Her conscience refuses
to let her. He cholIes her and leaves
her for dead and rCshes to the Yukon,
that eternal haven for murdereTs.
There, in the violently bitter Winter,
he battles with his ideals and the
omnipresent thought of insanity.
Visions of his wife and Doe his
partner, in dreams crowd the dreary
cabin in the bleak wilderness. Spring
comes before insanity, however, and
the real wife, who RECEIVERS from the
choking, and the real Doc" come.
The reason of the dreamer and his
love for his wife meet, and the emo
ton conquers.

Pepper, headlining comedian. is of

PIANIST FEATURES

Ralph Leopold, Lecturer and Artist,
Delights Audience at Central
High School.

Ralph Leopold, pianist and lecturer.
gave a delightful pianologue on the
subject of The Romanticists'' at Cen

From the works representing these
composers of the early nineteenth
century. Mr.. Leopold chose the bigger
and less often heard compositions.
Mendelssohn's prelude and Fugue.

This is a marvellous work written by
the composer famous for his Spring

Schumann's exquisite "Nachstuck

an interesting group. Liszt's Soma

the feature of the program. for it oc-
Cupied % minutes in execution alone.
Mr.. Leopold's careful exposition of
the various themes woven into many
moods in this sonata in one movement
probably proved more interesting than
the work itself, which seemed a
tedious combination OF phrases rem
iniscent of the composers "Liebes-
traume," Wagnerian works and
others. LISTS Consolation in d Flat"
was inserted at this point in the pro-
gram.

Mr.. Leopold is a pleasing pianist,
with particularly fire tonal work in
the treble register. His left hand
is very heavy and his chords cor

lies between the Sacramento and the
San Joaquin rivers in California"
Mr.. Forkner in recent years has
been keeping very careful tests to de-
termine variations in the temperature.
He has also had reports from the Old
World fig producing sections, and
saws that the temperature is almost
exactly the same. Moreover California
has the advantage OF an atmosphere
which is perfect for producing dried
figs, and OF course such figs Will not
be crowded out OF the market, even
by the advent OF figs in cans. Eaten
as a dessert dried figs will never be
supplanted
Although the Forkner fig orchard is
not the only one in California 1t IS
the largest. For that matter, it IS the
largest in the world. Up to the pres
ent time 100000 fig trees have been
set out. OF course many OF them are
still small and are not yet productive
Nevertheless this years crop will eX-
coed thousand tons. 1t is estimated
that in six years between 10000 and
10000 tons of figs will be produced
each wear in this orchard alone.
a small army OF men anu women
have been employed this past season
to care for the trees and harvest the
crop. Girls have been busy for weeks
past packing the dried fruit in fancy
boxes for the holiday trade. Through
out the year 100 tractors are kept in
constant operation breaking up new
/ land Tor more trees or cultivating in
the orchards already laid out These
tractors are operated in groups OF
eight or ten at a time and make quick
work Of what if attempted by man
power would require months to com
plete. Irrigation during the dry sea-
son keeps the trees in healthy con
ditiop the year around.

The fig king of the world lives in
California. His name is ]. c. Fork
ner and he lives at Fresno, and he
has 10000 acres planted to figs. All
this comes about as a result OF Mr..
FORMERS discovery that the climate OF
southern California has about the same
climate as Mesopotamia, which III the
past was the greatest fig producer. -.
Thousands of consumers the world
over are familiar with the term Smyr-
ma Figs. There may be some difficult
tv in persuading them that California
figs are just as good, but in years to
come the bulk of the figs eaten in
America are certain to be home grown.
This must be the case if there IS to
be any large expansion OF the tg IN
dustry.
Many New Trees Planted.
The number of trees which Mr..
Forkner alone has planted in Calitor-
MIA amount to half as many as the to-
tai number that have been planted i'll
the whole of Smyrna in the last 1000
wears. For that matter, more fig trees
have been set out in California, 1t IS
reported, in the last II years than
anywhere else in the world in hall a
century.
Along with this development OF fig
production has come the discovery
that figs can be canned as well as any
other fruit. For years Americans knew
only dried figs. For SOME time pulled
figs have been sold, but have not had
the palatability of dried figs unless
cooked. Figs when canned make an
entirely different kind OF fruit, and
one which adds new luxury to the
family table.
Mr.. Forkner in comparing the fig
growing area OF the Old World and
that OF this country, says:
1T is astounding to find such
similarity in physical outline. The
valley between the Tigtess and the
Euphrates contains 100000 acres
Now this is exactly the same area as
