William Mitchell has been a pic
turesquely outstanding figure in the
United States Military Service for
twenty years.
In the spring of 1898 he enlisted
while the Senate. of which his father
was a member, declared war against
Spain. Although only eighteen
years of age he returned home and
enlisted as a private in the First
Wisconsin Infantry, a regiment, by
the way, which was a successor Of
the organization his father had en-
tered in the Civil War.
In Cuba he served on the staff
Of General Fitzhugh Lee, and in
the Philippines instruction in 1899
with General Macarthur. In 1901
1903 he was given the task of com
pleting the telegraph lines in Alaska.
Thereafter he devoted himself to de
veloping the Army's first radio and
automobile equipment. And in 1904,
when only twenty-four years of age,
he became an instructor in the Staff
College at Leavenworth.
Later he served again in the

ROSE MARIE
nRETURNS HERE:
MONDAY NIGHT
Desiree EIIinger and Allan
Rogers Top Big City
Cast.

No musical production that has
been presented to local theatergoers
at any time was ever more largely
patronized than during the first en-
gagement of "Rose- Marie" at Eng.
lish's.
That Mr.. Hammerstein is bringing
it back to English's next Monday
evening for the second time, fore.
casts another big week.
This time, theater goers will hear
an entirely new cast, in the one
that has been appearing at the I'm
perial Theater, New York, for many
months.
Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammer,
stein II may not have realized it
when they conceived the plot of
Rose Marie" but they were the pio-
neers in catching the theme of the
wild Northwest for musical comedy
treatment What Puccini did for
1.-THE Girl of the Golden West, :"
Rudolf Friml and Herbert Stothart
have done for picturesque Northwest
Canada.
N In their score they have seized on
"A he weird, sometimes grotesque,
characteristics of Indian lore, which
is evident in many of their musical
phrases, notably in the "Totem Tom
Tom" number.
One may describe "RoseMarie" as
a combination of Rex Beach and
Robert w. Service set to music. Ar
thur Hammerstein has certainly pro
duced the piece handsomely and
quite in keeping with the geo
graphical location of the scenes.
OF the new cast, it is understood
that Desires Ellinger is more than
satisfying in the<title role.
Allan Rogers, featured with Miss
Ellinger, has the role of Jim kenyon.
He is a new tenor to the musical
comedy stage. Before appearing 'in
Rose Marie" he was a concert So
loist, and has toured with the Min
neapolis and New York symphony
orchestras as principal soloist. His
voice is said to be Of high range
we'll cultivated and with positive
sustaining power, his high notes
ringing out in good tone.
Arthur DEACON is another singer
who formerly sang in light opera
in leading baritone roles. He will
be Sergeant Malone. Pearl Regay
will be the Wanda, and others in
the capable cast are John Cherry
and Marcella Shields, who have the
comedy roles of Hard-Boiled Her
man and Lady Jane; Edward Clan
nelli, Louis Morrell, Neil Moore and
Helen and Deddens.

The films thus made will be used
in a broad experimental way in an

since which time he has appeared
in his native city, London, in that
play for a year and a day. Last

act "Old English" in New York,
where it ran for 200 performances.
Mr.. Arliss plays the title role of
"Old English" a character differ
ent from any he has acted in the
past. This role is that of a gay old
blade, shrewd and none too honest,
but touched by the frailty as we'll
