SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919 STRANGE INFLUENCE HOVERS OVER PLAY CREDITED WITH REMARKABLE SUCCESS AT THEATER IN GOTHAM (By United Press) NEW YORK.—Spiritualists in Eng- run was the patronage bestowed by land and America are watching with keen interest the extraordinary and unique demonstration of spiritua- listic influences which are said to have been responsible for the suc- cess of the play, “The Invisible Foe,” now playing at the Harris Theater here. Hereward Carrington, a well- known American psychic research au- thority, is among those who maintain that “The Invisible Foe’ is being supported by the spirits. | The play, which has also been! produced in London, concerns infor-| mation transmitted by the spirit of | a dead man for the unravelling gf a} crime committed before his death. He alone has the key.

Tilden and Vincent Richards, the national outdoor champions. The tournament was staged by the | Seventh Regiment Tennis club. A. C. |Postley was appointed referee and chairman of the tournament com- | returning soldiers and sailors. Along Broadway it is a generally recognized fact that this is practically the only play that the fighting men are pay- ing money to see. | When the subject was mentioned |to Bartley Cushing, the famous Amer- jican producer who staged “The In- |visible Foe,” he declared that there was no dou't in his'mind as to the influences !.overing over the play. tiven while the play was in rehearsal he said, the spiritualistic power was in operation, “T am as hard-headed and as prac- tical as the average person concerned with producing plays,’ said Cushing, “and I certainly had no interest in spiritualism before putting on ‘The Invisible Foe.’ But I have changed my views. I positively affirm that demned it in unmeasured terms, The eritics were almost a unit in declar- | ing that the play was uninterestin; crudely constructed, and wholly im | probable. They said, further, that} the playwright had used ancient and melo-dramatic incidents and was| “talking through His hat.” Ordinari- ly, this should have put a damper on the: production. But such was not the case. 5 In spite of the critics the play} picked up steadily and quickly be- | came one of the greatest successes | of the year. Spiritualists, in ex- plaining this, said that the throngs were drawn to the theater by the spirits of departed friends and rela-' tives. One of the odd features in! spirituulistic assistance was given us in making the play ready for the pub- lic. I repeatedly felt strange in- fluenc:s guiding me and directing me in my efforts to secure certain novel effects. Even the ac‘ors felt these influences. I cannot expiain it, but I think everybody connected with ih. play felt that extramundane influ- ences were: hovering over the Harris Theater. Miss Flora MacDonald, who, in the play, receives the message from the spirit which gives the clue to the real criminal, has become so converted that she has received a message from her father who died last year. As for myself, I am be- ginning a complete study of spiritual- ism. FACTORY TURNS OUT IRON CROSS FOR YANK TRADE} | COBLENZ, (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) —A factory at) eim near Karlsruhe has been working day and night recently turn- ing out iron crosses to be sold to American soldiers and other troops eager for souvenirs of the war, a cording to travelers frgm Germany who arrived in Coblenz late in Janu- ary. While the Berlin authoriti have discouraged the idea of the G mans selling iron crosses and other war decorations to soldiers of the Allies quite a business has been built up in this line in the zones occu- pied by the British, French and Ame icans. In Coblenz and other cities the burgomasters have appealed to the self respect of the trades people in endeavors to stamp out the business of selling the various German medals dnd officers’ insignia. But the souvenir business thrives | nevertheless, the merchants in the neutral areas reporting. that they can purchase all the iron crosses and other decorations in any quantities desired. These are all brought from unoccupied Germany, the supply ix the occupied part of the Rhineland, having been exhausted soon after the Allies took up their positions at the three bridgeheads. Owing to the fact that the authori+ ties will not issue permits for the shipment of honor medals into the occupied zones, travelers say that iron crosses by the hundred and other, relics of the war are being smuggled across the border in great numbers. | In Coblenz during the latter part of January iron crosses sold in the stores from nine to twelve marks each. When the Americans first came to Coblenz the crosses were valued at from five to nine marks. During the - around the prisoner stock- ades, iron crosses were sold to the Americans at prices ranging from fiift: francs to two hundred francs. The factory at Pforzheim which hes been manufacturing the crosses for the souvenir hunters is the same one which had a contract from the German government for years for the making of the iron crosses given to the German soldiers for acts of bravery on the battlefield. eee NEWS FROM THE | STATE CAPITOL The annual meeting of the state board of livestock commissioners! will be held at the capitol April 7. SOUTHERN STEERS 100 HIGH TO STOCK RANGE, SAYS SHERIDAN BUYER SHERIDAN, Wyo.—Prices a which southern steers are being hel on the Denver market are considered too high by W. H. Davis of Sussex ;one of the big cattlemen of tha region, who has just returned from the Colorado yards. Yearlings arc ing held around $10 more than 2 ar ago and at a price of $60 a 1, he states. The reason for this high valuation s given in the fact that last year be- cause of the drouth, and a shortage feed the livestock raisers of Texar d New Mixico shipped very close and they are not anxious to dispose of the yearlings, holding to the be- lief that there will not be a great falling off in the cattle market this year. Mr. Davis has been one of the large shippers from that section in years past, having brought in around 2,000 head three years ago. eee KEY WEST TO WASHINGTON IN 15 HOURS (By United Press.)
