Turkey, who was an aggressive old
bird that he spread his tail and strut
some at price that Ismail wasn't
pashaing right, and with incidentals
guaranteed. Is got the skids and
England got the canal-not neces-
sarily with warranty deed, but to
control it and that part of Egypt
most congenial to English policy of
taxation. The khedive is allowed to
khe-dive around a little with certain
amount of pocket money, but can't
mortgage the place without getting a
release from England. England
makes no claims to owning Egypt, but
if you want to start anything around
here, England has some loyal hired
hand slip little card under your
door, reading: Better see me first. I"
1t is neat and convincing sugges-
ton; a compliance herewith saves
much time and trouble.
Disraeh dealt himself hand from
the bottom and secured control of the
canal for $20,000,O00 which was
strong discount since the canal was
quoted on the open market at that
time as worth some $40,000,000 and
is now paying good dividends on $780,
100000. The canal cost $152,760, 900,
which was said to include money to
contractors who were more or less
politically inclined and retained very
large number of dead mems names on
the payroll. At least much of the
help impersonated that kind of peo-
pie in boosting the canal along, Thus
two seas were kept apart long fa-
ter the international plumbers had
diagnosed the case and sent the help
ers back for a left-handed monkey
wrench with which to turn the water
on.

SEEMS MOOTED QUESTION
STILL WHETHER TWAS THE
IRISH CHASED THE JEWS
Continued from Page One)

De Lesseps quit his job with the
French government to beguile the
Suez canal concession from the khe-
dive Said of Egypt, whom he done
beguiled with a bum contract in 1856.
Old Said, who was a dead. game sport,
always willing to put his complete
bundle on the high card, got short
changed on the proposition instead of
getting the silk. De Lesseps' folks
didn't put up the cash and the simple
minded, easy-going old Said said he
would. De Lesseps got him to borrow
much money in Europe on the old 2
per cent per month basis with no
comebacks for his heirs, executors or
assigns. Ismail Pasha, the assignee
of Said's bum administration, follow
ed out his policies, but the higher he
pulled one financial hoof out of the
mud the deeper the other begged
down. Egypt had no debt when the
canal was begun but when il. was fin
ished, in 1869, Ismail Pasha proudly
proclaimed that debts was what Egypt
didn't have anything else but. There
were no bankruptcy laws in them
good old days, so Is only got several
hundred years in exile to serve out
as his health and germs permitted. 1t
is understood that he died while at
tempting to complete his exile-ation.
England had been looking the dump
over and suggested to the sultan of
The Coconino sun., 1925-05-22

From this,l one will, or should, gath
er the idea that it was a good old-time
government job in which the overhead
expense out-ranked the cost of ma
terial and labor
1t is related that de Lesseps' ideas
eventually got beyond control and he
died a pauper in an insane asylum.
Since he was mainly instrumental in
putting old Khedive Said on the bum,
thereby soaking all his constituents
in hook, also adding his successor,
Ismail, it does not seem necessary to
grieve ones heart out because of de
Lesseps' sad end.
This should explain the situation
down here in which England is now
the cashier and setting pretty until
water runs up hill again along the
Red sea.
The Red sea is not red-merely red
hot. Can't understand why it does
not steam and boil more.

A STAGE STAR.
SNUFFS. HIS
CANDLE

It is seldom that a recognized
star of the legitimate stage will
condescend to play role in sup
port of a screen star, but such is
the case with "Her Market
Value" in which Agnes Ayres is
to be seen at the Earle for the
first showing in Washington next
week.
Taylor Holmes, well known
among the two dollar" class of
theater-goers. is the star who
plays the supporting role. Holmes
usually makes his home at ore
of the bright light palaces of
Broadway but occasionally makes
national tour with a play that
bears the stamp Of New York
approval.
His latest starring vehicle is
1.-THE Whole Towns Talking" a
farce comedy by John Emerson
and Anita Loos. This play
brought him to the Pacific coast
and he reached Los Angeles just
at the time that Powell was MAX
ing his preparations for Her
Market Value"
In the picture there is a part

wasted on the desert air Of
Southern California.
Tradition says that Frankie
Bailey's legs were matchless, be-
yond compare and not to be
mentioned in the same breath
with other mortal underpinning,"
remarked Bell, but I'm ready to
file a minority report, after see
ing this Peggy Fortune girl.
Since the short skirt craze, we've
all found ourselves in the posi-
ton of the double-neck bus con-
ductor whose indifference to legs
through long gazing was classic.
Today, it is only what one might
denominate as super-legs that
will attract any attention at all.
But defy anyone to gaze on
the shapely contours of Peggy
Fortune and then voice the
heresy that frankie Bailey's legs
were better looking

that must have been patterned
after Holmes. SO closely does it
fit him. It was no easy matter
to interest Holmes in the role.
but he was eventually persuaded
to read the manuscript and the
deed was done. Holmes saw the
possibilities that the part pos
sessed and enthusiastically &C.
cepted it even though It was not
a starring role.

WHO THAT HANDSOME

AS leading man for Maude
Adams in her revival Of The
Little Minister and Peter Pan, "
MacF'arlane entrenched himself
in American hearts and since
that time he has been Identified
with a score Of successful plays,
among them Civilian Clothes"
and "The Old Lady Shows Her
Medals"
His last we'll known success
was in "Why Men Leave Home, :"
which had it's premiere at the
Belasco here.
MacFarlane is particularly gift
ed with a resonant voice and
there is a polished class to his
performance which betrays the
experienced trouper He is built
like an oarsman which, II the
truth be told, he was in his col
lege days.
The Washington times., 1925-07-25

Half a dozen seasons in sum-
mer stock and a lengthy appren-
ticeship in road productions here
and abroad, have fitted John
Glynn MacFarlane ideally to the
shoes of a leading man. Mac
Farlane is the new addition to
the National Theater Players,
having made his stock debut here
last week in Aren't We ALP"
The forthcoming weeks pre-
sentation, THE Goose Hangs
High will find him in a par
ticularly congenial role.
Mr.. MacFarlane was born and
educated in Edinburgh, Scotland.
A close listener can still detect
the faintest touch of the Scotch
burr in his conversation. After
two years of law at the Univer-
sity OF Edinburgh, he answered
the call to the stage which, since
his prep school days, had prod
ded him necessarily.
