I'm not going to produce a drawing board and do a studio stunt, but T must get some impressicns of those faces.” “But where is your paper and pencil?” My voice still. held a note of protest, which Dicky ignored. “I'm never without a pencil,” he replied, producting a disreputable looking stub of one, “and the mar of the program will do nicely.

Now, lady fair, if you will just change seats.” His eyes were dancing as he rose and stood looking down at me, wait- ing for me to rise. I read merriment, tenderness and the enthusiasm for his work which will carry Dicky far, I feel. I rose without a word and took the aisle seat, and Dicky arranged my cape around me so that he could sketch unobserved behind it. “Go ahead, talk to me just as if I weren't doing this,’ Dicky command- ed ““This won't take all my time Let’s look around and see the first- | I protested, horrifed. UNCLE TOM’'S CABIN AT LYCEUM TUESDAY | If press opinions count for any- {thing Mr. Earl Burgess's production of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which will be seen at the Lyceum on Tuesday, Sept 28, has caught the public fancy. The theaters where the offering has { been made is said to. have been crowd- ed at every performance, and no rea- sonable doubt remains that business on the season will reach a figure that will astonish the dramatic world. For a play holding the stage over | fifty years within which period not a single season has elapsed during which - it was entirely absent from the theater, “Uncle Tom's Cabin,” still exhibits wonderful vitality.

T | | doubt whether there has ever been so lavish and adequate a production of this play as that which Mr, Burgess will bring to our city. The scenes which are displayed could not easily be improved. Each pictures the real- ity as closely as paint and canvas will permit, and the stage perspective is so deep the effect is cxceptional- ly pleasing: The company is alsc worthy of its environment. So many actors of pleasing reputation have i never hefore been seen engaged to- gether in this play: The most pleas- ,ing chorus of colored men is a de- cided novelty, and at all points Mr. Burgess has made plain what brains, money and energy can accomplish. | There will be a novel noon day pa- Irade.

Nothing like him has ever been seen before'in this or any other coun- try. His sincerity cannot be ques- tioned. He merely allows his emo- tions to get the better of him, but not to the extent that it is a weak- ness. His men cannot resist his fer- vor any more than can his audience, and so the results are not surprising. His band is composed of fifty players who put color into their work and can master a volume of amazing im- mensity, reflecting their director’s 'magnetism, totally unlike any other organization before the public. His programs are always inviting through- out. He knows just what he is play- ing, the story, the music, the scene, and the playing is such that he is recognized by the leading musical critics of .this country as the most wonderful director of the day. “OVER THE WIRE” VENING ELASSES & DE EDUCATION SHOP LSouth Stanley and y Streets. ~—52 Mani Street. begin Monday, October deshring to enter for the ‘should apply in person pdnesday or Thursday 28, 29 and 30th, be- ® o’clock, at the respec- oys department preference will be given to those ‘during thc day at some desire to improve their of the work, or in con- ewith. to take up me- hitectural drafting. admitted under By DOROTHY CLARKE Dolly was wearing the most stun- ning evening gown I've seen this sea- son ..

THE BEAVTIFUL - BURGLAR IN ¥ COHAN’S SUCCESSFUL PLAY AT LYCEUM One of the distinct novelties and | one of the bizgest successes of the theatrical season, “Seven Keys To Baldpate,” a mystery farce made into | a play by George M. Cohan from the ; book of the same name by Earl Derr Biggers, which will be presented at the Lyceum on Thursday evening, Sept. 30. | A sensational success fully des- cribes the impression made during the past year in New York and Chi- i cago of this famous play of laughs and thrills. “THE MONEY MASTER” AT FOX'S SUNDAY “The Money Master” founded on Cleveland Moffett's famous stage sue- cess “The Battle” will visit the Fox theater tomorrow night. Not often is one privileged to wic-’ ness a film drama of such absorbing interest, so well told or featuring a cast of such superlative excellence. Frank Sheriden, long and favorably known to the theater-going public, plays the lead of the flinty-hearted man of millions, supported by such well known players as Paul McAllis- ter, Fania Marinoff and Malcolm Dun- can. This aggregation of Broadway stars is probably the rhost pretentious ever seen in a single photo-drama production. The story of ‘“The Money Mas- ter” is a rare blending of riches and poverty with many scenes taken in the famous East Side Ghetto district of New York- Haggleton, an am- bitious 'man of millions, loses his wife and son through his mania for riches and vears later discovers his long lost son in the tenement districts of New York. How he dismisses his vacht, spreads the rumor that he is away on the seas and then starts life over as a helper in the Ghetto bakery without so much as a penny in his pocket, merely to illustrate his the- ory that riches are soley the result of work, are scenes of intense human interest, The most recent Pathe News with its current events and some excellent comedy features will frame a pro- gram of sterling merit.

Cohan’s hand has fa- shioned many plays, but the best of all, if we are to accept the opinion of many erudite reviewers, is “Seven Keys Tc Baldpate,” with its thrilling tale of a writer of melodramatic novels who isolates himself on the i top of a mountain for the ostensible ! purpose of completing a story and is there confronted with a series of in- cidents, that, in thrills and hair-rais- !ing episodes, puts any tale he could fashion to blush. “Seven Keys to Baldpate' "is said to I run the gamut of human emotions from laughs and thrills with intermedi- ate melodramatic moments of such convincing reality as to keep its audi- ence guessing to the very end of the | final act.

The seat sale open- |ed this morning. This remarkable | record by the Players is evidence of | the popularity of the members of the | company and of the plays that Mr. Toli has supplied. Next week Mr. Poli has selected one of the best of the many rural dramas for pre- sentation, “Sky Farm,” a play in which Tully Marshall and William T. Hodge appeared under the direction of the late Charles Frohman. The story of the play is absorbing and interesting and there is just enough comedy interwoven in the dlalogue to make it pleasing as well as en- tertaining. Stage Director Hal Briggs has provided a fine mounting for the play and it will be given in a manner fitting the 500th performance week.

And I Am Ashamed Of My Cowardice. It is cowardice and subterfuges from seeing how their faults hamper them. that of mine that keep people A man discharges a sten- like ographer for inaccuracy and tells her he has decided it would be better for the cffice interests to have a man in her place. And the girl naturally makes no effort to overcome her inaccuracy. However that's another story altogether. It's the man who is wan- tonly unkind to children and animals especially the latter, that I'm hot against today T believe there is something very important lacking in the soul of a man who will kick a dog ar abuse a horse. Do You Agree With This Detective. . I once read a story of a man detective who had to pick out from two men the man who had been brutal to his wife. dog. The detective immediately One of the two kicked a decided upon the other man who de- fended the dog on the ground that the man who is kind to dogs is not kind to women. 1 can’t place the author now, but I remember that he was a person of authority. Nevertheless his reasaning seems at fault to me. At any rate, from what I've seem of men, I'd trust myself to the man who de- fended the dog every time.

VIOLA DALE STARS IN KEENEY FEATURE Keeney's big motion picture traction tonight will be “House of the Lost Court” a powerful drama, in which Viola Dale appeared in the leading role when the piece was pro- duced before the camera.

London, Sept. 25, 10:556 a. m.—A third set of papers for the annual ex- aminations in the United States for Rhodes scholarships has been for- warded, in the hope that they will ar- 1ive in time for the tests on the ap- pointed days, October 5 and 6. The original papers went down with the Arabic and a second set was lost with the sinking of the Hesperian. On ac- count of this delay, Dr. George Par- kin, secretary of the Rhodes scholar- ghip trust expressed the fear that as- pirants in America for scholarships might think no examinations were to be held this year.
