The crown of Everywoman's day will come in the suffrage pageant to be staged at night with lighting effects and a setting of beauty seldom possible for out-of-door festivals. The background of the exposition will be the stage for a pantomimic masque of women, which will employ 400 men, women and children. This patomime was conceived by Anne Rearden, a young Californian, who won honors in the University of California for her poetry and was the author of the first-out-of-door pageant for women put on at that university. ‘With Porter Garnett assisting, she will herself stage the pageant. It will depict the progress of woman as a working unit in civilization.

MISS GOMBEL, YOUNG| ACTRESS, SCORES HIT Inaugurating Season at Lyceum, “My Lady’s Garter,” Pleases Those who attended t tion of the theatrical season last night at the Lyceum were fortunate enough to witness the premier performance of “My Lady’'s Garter,” a crisp, clean, clever comedy, replete with good lines and happy situations. Aside from parts of a first act that dragged per- ceptibly there was never a moment when interest was not suspended, when the story did not unravel itself in systematic sequence. Seemingly, there is just enough plot to carry the vehicle along and everybody in the house .was sure of how it was all go- ing to come out; but, like O. Henry, Jacques Futrelle had the happy fac- ulty of springing an unexpected end- ing. In the dramatization of his novel the playwright did not forget this all important factor. As a result there was a unanimous sigh of sur- prise in the last act when the climax put in its appearance. Miss Minna Gombel, at the head of a good cast, was happily received. In brief, the story of “My Lady’s Garter” is somewhat as follaws. Bro- kaw Hamilton is a wealthy New York- er with a hobby for collecting antiques and art objects. He gets possession of the Countess of Salisbury’s Barter, an extremely valuable relic because from its association grew the historic society of British chivalry, the Or- der of the Garter. Realizing that the police are on the trail of the miss- ing relic, Hamilton decides to get rid of it by placing it in a deserted house. It is stolen by a mysterious character called The Hawk who, in eluding the detectives, carries them to the grounds of Hamilton’s residence. OQutside the window through which The Hawk creeps, S. Keats Gaunt a poet in love with Hamilton’s daughter, Helen, is waiting for her to elope with him. He has in his pocket the jewels he is to bestow on her as a wedding present. The detectives arrest him, and the fun begins. Bruce Colcthoun, who has a summer home on the Sound, is next to arouse the suspicion of the detec- tives and 'round him centers the fu- ture action of the comedy. He is suspected as the Hawk. In the end, however, one of the detectives who is supposedly shadowing Colquhoun, and who has been making strenuous love to Helen, is found to be the real Hawk. Miss Minna Gombel, plaving the leading part jn My Lady's Garter, is a yaung actress with a promising future. She has the happy faculty of putting her whole heart in her work and her characterization of a young lady grown up without parental restraint was a bit of acting cleverly carried out. Playing opposite Miss Gom- bel in the role of Bruce Colquhoun was Robert Dempster, a young man with a pleasing ‘personality and ever so many good looks. . For good ¢lever comedy it would be difficult to find another young man to excell Louis Gimball, who played the part of the love sick poet. Never overdoing his part, Mr. Gimball al- ways had his finger on the electric button that controlled the laughter of the play. With Mr. Gimball the little girl who played Mercy Dale, Miss Elsie Glynn, was very good. A Wallace Worsley, who looked somewhat like an ambassador and who cleverly por- he inaugura- WOMAN COULD NOT SIT UP Now: Does Her Cwn Work. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound Helped Her. Ironton, Ohio.—‘‘ I am enjoying bet- ter health now than I have for twelte years. When I be- gan to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta- ble Compound I could not situp. I had female troubles and was very ner- vous. I used the remedies a year and I can do my work and for the last eight months I have worked for other women, too. I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound enough for I know I never would have been as well if I had not taken it and I recom- mend it to suffering women.”’ Daughter Helped Also. “I gave it to my daughter when she was thirteen years old. She was in school and was a nervous wreck, and could not sleep nights. Now she looks 80 healthy that even the doctor speaks of it. You can publish this letter if you like.’’—Mrs. RENA BOWMAN, 161 S. 10th Street, Ironton, Ohio. Why will women continue to suffer day in and day out and drag out a sickly, half-hearted existence, missing three- fourths of the joy of living, when they can find health in Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ? If you have the sllghtfsst doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegeta= ‘ble Compound will help you,write toLydia E.Pinkham MedicineCo.

Paul Everton was good as De- tective Merideth, a blunt American, as was his co-worker, Cecil Owen, who played the English sleuth. Others in the cast were: Albert Sackett, Harry Scarborough, Harry Stafford, Robert Rogers, Louis Thiel, Howard Leslie, Clyde Veaux, and Louise Mackintosh, J. J. D. “MIRACLE MAN” POLI'S OPENER For a fall opening, the Poli play- ers could not have selected a much better production than George M. Cohan’s l:{st year’s play, “The Miracle Man.” It has not yet been fully ex- plained how Mr. Poli came to gst such a mnice, new, one-year-old-play as this one, for generally a play fresh from Broadway—or the Metropolis, as they still say in Southwick— is good for a couple of seasons with road companies before it is thrown (o the dogs of stock casts. Perhaps it is because the Poli companies can- not be classed as the latter that Mr Cohan leased the play. That, however, is neither here nor there. “The Miracle Man,” which opened at Poli's yesterday is not the same play which first saw the light at the Parsons Theater a yeAr ago. A season in the “Metropolis” has done much for it; it has been polished up and shaved down and fitted with a new ending that is much more satis- factory If not quite so artistic. TEUTONS HAVE TYPHUS.

IN “THE CLIMBERS” “The Climbers” by Clyde Fitch for many years the starring vehicle of Amelia Bingham which she scored a great personal triumph has been dramatized for the screen by the Lubin players and will be seen in this city tomorrow and Thursday at Fox's. The picturization is in five acts and has in the titular roles such screen favorites as Gladys Hanson, George Soule Spencer and Walter in Hitchcock and is produced by Barry | O'Neil, Lubin's greatest stage direc- tor. “The Climbers’ is an impelling drama and deals in stirring situations ! and great climaxes- It is a beautiful story and calls for unusually elabor- | ate settings, and the theme of the play has plenty of action and most alluring tableaux, and should meet with popular approval with the le- gion of Fox patrons. Today’s program is a most interest- ing one. Dainty Vivian Martin, i offered in “The Little Dutch Girl” a picturization of Ouida’s famous novel “Two Little Wooden Shoes.” Miss Martin injects that spirit of youth and vicacity into the role of little Bebee and gets all there is out of the important role and is as charming as ever. Then we have the seventh chapter of “The Goddess” the serial beautiful in which Anita Stewart is starred. This chapter is most inter- esting and will be immensly enjoyed The Pathe news with its current events and an excellent comedy at- traction frame a well balanced pro- gram up to the usual high standard of Fox attractions. Want To And Ought I have a little friend who ke most little girls hates to go to bed She is always begging to be allowed to sit up just half an hour longer or read just one more chapter. As she is not very strong and ne eds her sleep, the inevitable resultof yielding to her pleadings is that sh e is sleepy in the morning and hatcsto get up. The other morning 1 happened to be at her home when yawning down to breakfast. “You remember you wanted to =it up night,” her mother reminded her. she canie last Why Can’'t I Want to Go to Bed? “I know it,” she admitted, and then half petulantly, half wistfully “Oh, mother, why can't I want to o to bed at night and want to get up in the morning instead of wanting to sit up at night when 1 shouldn’t and then hating to get up in the morning when I should?” Her mother “Well, way,” she said “But why?” persisted And I wondered, too laughed. the world doesn’t seem to be made that the little girl- It is a funny world, isn't it, where we want to do so many things we shouldn’t and have to force ourselves to do the things we should? Why Can’t We Hate to Waste Time? Why can't we long to study and work and hate to waste time? Why shouldn’t patience and self-control come naturally and temper and irritability be unnatural? Why shouldn’t it be easy to be generous and hard to be selfish? Agnes Repplier quotes a Boston wanted to do proved to be either unhealthy, man as saying that everything he immoral or too expensive. Most of us have had similar expeniences, Even since people began to have ideals of conduct at all there hay been this conflict between what ofs wants to do and what one ought, Even the Saints Have This Conflict. Of course vou remember St. Paul's wistful cry, “For would I do not; but the evil which T would not that I the good 1 do.” I'm glad St. Paul sald that, because it bridges the chasm in time and character he- tween him and me, and makes all the rest of his words and his life more real- Of course if we wanted to do the things we ought to do, that would .climinate the clements of conflict and character building from life. Would we really like that better? Who can say? Maybe heaven is, as a friend of mine iikes to fancy, just a place where we want to do what we should. Perhaps we would get tired of il But no, that would be something we ought not to do, how could we? / T Co “OVER THE WIRE” » DORUTHY CLARKE Mrs. Carrington is going to have the cutest prize for her informal “bridge’” tomorrow .....
