EDMOND DE BRIEs. cELE-
BRATED FEMALE IMPER-
SENATOR. DISPLAYS FA-
NOUS DESIGNS.

The woman who loves pretty
clothes and where IS there not
snch--was more than unusually
happy at the san Carlos theatre,
Saturday and Sunday night. when
Edmond De Bries, the celebrated
female Impersonator, designer and
exemplifier of how to wear such
garments, showed the women Of
Key West some of his famous de-
signs. There were many gasps of
pleasant surprise as Mr.. De Bries
entered wearing the costumes, and
when the exhibit of his noted
shawls was put on. the ladies could
not be censured for having feel
ING Of covetous envy.
As an impersonator, Mr.. De
Bries came up to all expectations,
his advance agents claims were
filed TO the satisfaction Of the
audiences on both nights.
Rafael Del Real, the singer of
this vaudeville troupe, is an artist
possessing voice that is sweet
ness itself.
The leading attraction to the
men was Miss De Brics. who for
more than half the time took the
attention of both audiences. Her
dancing, artistic and interpreta-
tive, was more than good and she,
like the other members of the
troupe. was forced to respond to
encore after encore.
The De Bries Company has its
own orchestra, the select music
needed for each entertainment
calling for trained musicians.

Business was poor, and profits nil.
The neWsboy had never taken a

shouted "All about the big sale-de-

The feminine shoppers paused, they
listened, they opened purses, in search
of pennies, and when they couldn't
find pennies they bought papers with
nickels and dimes as the newsboy
waved the advertising sections in their
faces.
Thus the art of advertising adver-

peated failure, and finally gave it
up in disgust, although he was essen :
TALLY a dramatic genius. Some of
his plays did get on the boards,
but they failed to attract much at
tention. He finally gave up in dis
gust and for the rest of his life
devoted. himself to dramatic mono
logues such as "The Ring and the
Book a great bulk of which were
obscure, sometimes dreary. and al
together unactable, although there
is hardly a one of them which does
not have some of the greatest pas
sages in English literature packed
away in it somewhere.
In the present adaptation the
verse Of Browning is preserved as
far as possible, but is rearranged to
suit the needs Of the stage. New
York critics have compared this
piece, as a play, with "Cyrano de
Bergerac" and Theodore Dresser S
american Tragedy" AS a work of
literature, of course, "The Ring and
the Book" is far greater than either
Of these dramas.
The success of "Caponsachi," Miss
Palmer believes. will bring about the
adaptation of other Browning mate
rial and possibly the revival of some
Of his earlier plays, such as "The
Return of the Druses," just as he
wrote them without much retouch-
ing. Even more than in the royal
ties she is receiving, Miss Palmer
is Interested in the new prospect OF
bringing Browning back to the people
holding that this essentially robust

to preSent-day Americans once he

STATE OFFICIALS
DRAW SMALL PAY
South Dakota Refuses Boost
to Officers Whose Aides
Are Better Paid.
BY the Associated Press.

PIERRE, S. Oak, November 13.-
Other States may pay their governors
$4,000 or more, but South Dakota
has decided for the sixth time that
So, 900 year is enough for it's highest
official
Back in 1888, fathers of the State
constitution stipulated that the gov
ernor should get $4,000, Supreme Court
Judges 81 400, and sother State officials
downward from S1.S00, to the attor-
ney general who serves for $1,000 a
year.
Thrice since the legislature has sub
mitted TO the people an amendment
empowering it to revise salaries. Each
time it was voted down. Thrice the
legisla ture has submitted a definite
scale of salary increases, raising the
governors pay to $1,000 and other
State salaries proportionately, and as
many times the electors have turned
thumbs down.
The last effort was in a constitu-
tionaI amendment submitted Tuesday
and the voters said no at the rate of
2 to /, despite espousal of the reform
by both major parties.
Only one other State. Vermont, pays
its executive so little, and even it pays
it's attorney general more than 500
a month. But South Dakota's found
ers thought the attorney general could
come down to Pierre one day a week
and handle all the States legal bust
ness.
Expense allowances help officials
somewhat. and the governor may save
house rent by residing in four-room
cottage at one edge of the Stlte house
lawn. But the executive finds himself
served by 4 secretary whose pay
check is $500 bigger than his own.
The State treasurer gets Il check of
the same dimensions as his StenoS
rapher. The attorney general is
f1anked by assistants who get up to
five times as much as their chiefs.
Judges Of the Supreme Court have
two commissioners who write opin-
ions. and who get $4,000 a year.
Lately one of them was promoted"
to the supreme bench and his e!eva-
ton cost him $4,000 a year in pay.
