Mr. Lamb, man- ager of he company, announces that he has secured Sig. Arnaldo Conti leading conductor of the Boston Opera ‘house for the past five seasons, as musical director for the present spring tour. * Signor Conti is a musician of high attainments as evidenced by the many important posts he has held as conductor of Grand Opera in Burope and Ameri- ca; much of the artistic success at- tained by the Boston Opera company was 'due to his tireless zeal and energy combined with his almost limitless knowledge of operatic traditions.

ROOT AND WHITE ARE’ POPULAR AT KEENEY'S Danecers of uncommon skill are Root and White, two of the entertain- ers at Keeney’'s who have been meet- ing with great favor at every per- formance during the week. This team of clever performers probably rank as the best. disciples of terpsichore ever appearing at the local vaudeville theater. They move rapidly but with great precision and:their steps are 'in perfect time with the music. ' They introduce dances never before seen in this city and the clever mamner in which they exhibit their skil makes them warm favorites wth the audi- ence, ¥ Their right to the designation of the most popular entertainers on'the pro- gram is only debated by The Millmars, a pair of acrobats and physical culy ture exponents of remarkable ability. The male member of the duo 'gives an exhibition of muscular’ development that is well worth, seéing, His fea- ture is followed by a’series of difficult tumbling feats that'are performed in exceedingly clever: fashion, = Jack Darroll and complx}y continue to win the approval of.the audience for their western -tabloid, “On the Ranch.” It is a big sketch with music"| and: comedy interpolations of merit. Gladys Hopetown and company pre- gents “The Inspector,” a 'dramatic playlet, and Dutell and Abbate, Italian 1 character artists, appear to advantage in a musical specialty. BETTY NANSEN LIKES /'PART IN PHOTO PLAY Beyond a shadow of a doubt to my mind, says Miss Betty Nansen, who appears in Tolstoi’s “‘Resurrection” at Fox’s today and tomorrow, Katusha Maslova is the greatest character of whom Tolstoi’s magic pen ever wrote., What depths of character, what mar- velous abysses of torment she passes through before her tormental soul is purged: by the elemental fires of hu-. man suffering. The. part was al- ways a favorite with me at the Royal theater at Copenhagen, and I have played it before the czar of Russia, President Poincaire of France, Em- peror Franz Joseph of Austria and the kaiser. But till Mr. Fox, who coaxed me to come to America to; .pose in a series of American-made photo plays, I never realized what Mr. s Our Suffragists Young and ; Good Looking, Declares Aldao i -'Distinguished South American, Says Women in Argen- tina Get Equal Pay with Men, Yet There Are No Suffragists There. (By Lucy (Huffaker in New York Tribune.) He comes from a country about which two interesting facts stand out from the talk we had yesterday. They are: There isn’t a suffragist in the whole country, Women receive equal pay with men. The country is the Argentine Re- public, and the man who' says that it is a very good country for women, in- deed, even if they never hear the slogan “Votes for Women,” is Ricardo Aldao, a delegate to the Pan-Ameri- can Financial congress to be‘held in Washington, Mr. Aldao is the senior member of the firm of Aldao, Pavey & Campos, | international lawyers, who have offices in the largest city of almost every country in the world. He himself is in the home office in Buenos Ayres. It was in the Wall street office of the firm that he told me of the women of his country. ; ‘Women Paid Same as Men, 1'was mildly interested when he as- serted that he never saw a suffragist except when he was in this country and England, but when he told me that women in Argentina receive the same pay as men for the same work I became. excited. “J think I shall go to Argentina,” I sald, and behind the jest there was some of that truth which is said to: ‘lurk behind light words. Now, Mr. Aldao, being /a Latin, of course assured me that one thing which he hoped to see was many wom- en from ‘‘the States” going to his country. He bowed and smiled as he sajid that. But then he grew more seriaqus as he said: “But I don’t know whether or not you could get work on &' paper.” To Stay in United States, He seemed to be taking the matter of my invasion of his country so'seri- ously that I felt I must reassure him, 8o I explained to him that as the only words of Spanish I knew were ‘‘good day” it might be to my financial ad- vantage to stay in a land where wom- en receive less money than men, rath- ‘er than to go to one where I couldn’t ‘hope tp receive any pay at all. “Yes, yes, perhaps it is best,” he said, ’ “But ‘not because you cannot speak our language. That you could learn without difficulty, I am sure.” He bowed as he said this, “But you see in our country women do not work in newspaper offices. In fact, they don't work in offices at all—that is, except in mine.” *“What?” I said. .For I was won- dering how it was that women could receive equal pay with men if they didn’t work. “That was a paradox, in- deed. Mr. Aldao smiled a pleased little smile, as he went on to tell me that he was the first man in Buenos Ayres to give women employment in an of- fice, I didn't blame him for that pleased smile. I think he may well Dbe proud of the fact. Work in Homes. “You see in our don’t work outside the home, do in, yours,” sald Mr. Aldao. “‘Oh, of course, they 'do some kinds of work, like clerking in stores. But they have Fox's lavish expenditures on' scenery and his magnificent disregard of ex- penses and effort in making “A Wom. an’s Resurrection” meant toward ren-:' dering this great drama of Count Leo Tolstoi’s a living actuality instead of an acted play. v The drama. is & noble epic of° a woman's soul and what actress would not be glad of playing a part which runs the full gamut -of feminine emo- tions—yes and wickedness too, as only woman can be wicked. Never have I studiéd a role with the in- tensity of Masfova, which appeals to me as carrying out to all that is best in womanhood.: ‘I have tried to -ex- press my gratitude to Mr. Fox for giving. me this great opportunity by giving to the part of Katusha Mas- lova, the very best that was in me. In conjunction with the William Fox photo-play supreme Tolstoi’s, “A Woman’s Resurrectiqn,’ 'three sin- gle reel comedies and dramas will be shown fyaming & pleasing and diver- sified program of incomparable qual. iy, | MISTAKEN IDENTITY, KEYNOTE OF PLAYLET One of the interesting events in the local, amateur theatrical season will take place Tuesday evening when the Woodruff club of the: South church will present the three act play “A Guilded Youth,” dealing with the love and adventure ‘of ' several parties of differing ages and walks in life. The comedy presents an amusing situation in every act and the devel- opments from these situations go to make up the story of the play. Mis- taken identity is the main theme many | cases of this kind occurring and much fun derived ‘therefrom. The cast . is capable and wili be announced later.

There are some women stenographers and bookkeepers in the governmental of- fices, too. But I don't believe there has women in it.” “How did you come to do such an|glq and ugly is not true. original thing as to employ women?” i'1anq—perhaps, yes. that ' cquntry—ah, no! but ' parade and they were for the m.st 1 asked. I felt that perhaps question .was a trifie impolite, ! | college for women has been opened in Buenos Ayres. A large number of girls are enrolied and 1 think it won't be long before I'll have to quit boast- ing that our firm is the only one which employs women.” The next question I wanted to ask I felt quite sure was rude. Still T had to know the answer, so I said, as i gently as I could: “But why did you say women receive equal, pay with men if they don’t work.?” ‘Wouldn’t Take Less. “What difference does it make how many or how few women work?"’ He countered. ‘“‘But in every kind of work women receive equal pay with men and when they begin to go into offices and into business’ théy will still re- { ceive it. They wouldn’t think of tak- ing any less.” “But they might have to,” I said, my mind running back over all the stories I have known of teachers and other ‘groups of women striving, and sometimes in vain, to be paid the same price for their labor as men. “But wWho could make them?” he asked. “Certainly not the emplover. You see in our country no one would { expect a woman to work for less i money than a man, - And”—laugh- ingly—"if she . did expect it she wouldn’t do_it." “1t seems to me 'that even if you ‘haven't a:suffragist in your portant tenet“of feminism,’ I said. “It seems to me that perhaps gei- ting enough money. for her worl: is just as important as getting the vote —not?” Nods Head Emphatically. I nodded my head so emphatically that Mr. Aldao, just to prove that he himself is wtlling women should vote if they wish to, said: “If the. women of my country want to voteithey will. But so ‘far they haven't'seemed 'to care ‘anything about suffrage. Todst year some - Englikh. suffragists canie out to make, propaganda, hut .rhey didn't seem ablé to arouse any fdel- i ing. ' “Perhaps the Argentine woraen aren’t ready for the vote yet. ¢4 they were they'd probably be ask- ing for it. But then the men of my country didn’t seem to care about voting until it was made compul- sory.” “Compulsory?” I gasped. Must Vote to Marry. “Oh, it isnt quite as strict as that,” Mr. Aldao said laughingly. *“But un- less a man has a certificate to prove that he voted -at the last election hs can’'t make any kind of a contrzct at all. _He cant’' get married, either. Before this law went into effect only about 20 per cent. of the men -voted. Since then I should say 90 per cent. vote. So perhaps it is only fair to say that indifference to votirg seemed to be in our men as well as in our women."” ? How often Mr. Aldao has been in- terview when in this' country I dmn’t know, but evidently he knew the stock questions. Because without my having asked it, he answered the country women Oldest dne of all—the one about what as they the visitor thinks of American wom- en, Our Women Wonderful. “Your women are wonderful,” he said. ' “I'm+sure they can vote 'very well, if they want to, and some of them do want to, don’t they? T saw the suffrage parade in Philadelphia on May 1 and it was a very interes'- ing parade.

And I.want to say that I think women are better workers than men.” “Are you sure you are not saying that to be complimentary?” 1 asked. “Very sure,” he replied. women have more character than men; they are more reliable and have a greater sense of responsibility. And they will work hard.” “Why haven’t other firms followed office?” Life Easier There. “One reason has been that the wom- en haven't prepared themselves to work. You see life in our country is—what do you call it-——easier than it is here. Nobody works so hard perhaps. Things cost less. So girls have stayed at home. But now we know, too something of what your phrase about the high cost of living means, and so sometimes it is hard for a man to support his daughters as he would wish. And some girls are beginning to think they'd rather work outside, of course, I'm not saying the women of Argentine have been lazy and done nothing. They have worked, but they have done it at home. They have sewed, they have embroidered, they have cooked, tHey have done such things and left the business to men. “It is just recently that a business 1 “T think' your example if ‘it has proven such. a good thing to have women in an.

Conservative People and Conservative Colors. i Speaking of the ‘colors people choose to paint their homes reminds m; of a fact I noticed the other day. In a corner of our neighborhood *~a/ five houses in a row painted in virious self-effacing shades of drab, whii at each end of' the row is a stained house, one red, one green.
