Why The Clansman was Written. Thomas Dixen, Jr,, the author of The Clansman, the much discussed recon- struction play which will be seen on Monday, Sept. 27th, at the Brpadway thedter, 'said recently of his work: *“T have been accused of writing my books and_plays for money only. This is a cheap assertion, one that is stamped with falsehood on its very face. Books written merely to make money never make it Books which-attain tremen- dous success have within them the tre- mendous emotional impulses of their suthors—impulses. .big and- vital, that throb and pulsate, take hold of their réaders, grip them, and send them across the way to tell their neighbors. My books were written under such an impulse. I had something to say and couldn't keep silent, said it simply, passionately, boldly, without apology. trimming or lying. And the people hear it gladly. I do not need to as- sert the truth. “Those who read and see know it is true. Yet as a standing challenge to my critice I offer one thousand dol- Yars reward for the discovery of a single historical error in The Clans- *man.” SRSty IR e S R BREED THEATER. “The Factory Girl,” VTI;_nderiul Picture y of Lowell's Milis. Among tha many interesting and thrilling pictures seen at the Breed theater last evening, one of unusual excellence showed the life of a factory girl, and some of her trials, taken in a New England mill village. The many familiar scenes, follow each other in rapid succession, the trip through de- lightful rural districts is never to-be forgoten. The wonderful rescue scenz in particular is of grea. intcrest; while thére are many others that call for the hearty appreciation of the patrons. The genuine excellence of the great picture, The Indian Runner’'s Romance, is the admiration of every lover of novelties, inasmuch as it shows the Indian manner of love making, using the blanket, signifying protection, which is followed by the leaving of gifts in front of the tepee of the chief, whose daughter’'s hand is being sought by the young prave. The great scene where the Indian leaps upon the horse (who is already carrying the young squaw, besides the cowboy who has stolen her) fighting te a finish, finally defeating the vil-’ inous cowboy and throwing him from ¢ horse, is thrilling in the highest sense of the word. There are many other fine pictures both dramatic and comedy, and the ex- cellent slnflng of Miss Alwin is the de- Hght'to all. N THE AUDITORIUM. The vaudeville bill at the Auditorium this week is certainly a crack-a-jack. And any act showing there at the present time could be used as a head- liner for any vaudeville show. Two finished performers are Miller and Russell in their clever presenta- tion of the comedy skit entitled The Lunatic and the Girl, in which Mr. Miller takes the part of the escaped lunatic in his own Inimitable way which keeps the house in roars of laughter from .the time he breaks through the barred window of the asylum until he makes his exit. Wilson and- Mae, a pair of natural comedians, hand a bunch of nohsense which’ keeps the audience on the alert to catch every bit of wittécism offered by these clever entertainers. Mr. Wil- son wins immediate favor with his funny parodies on some of the latest song .hits. A master of many instruments is Al Allen, who plays one with as much ease as another and always wins ap- plause with his many truthful imita- tions. A dashing colored team is Gordon and Keyes, who make the audience “sit up and take notice.” Sam Berk, the new song illustrator, created a very favorable impression and his pleasing tenor voice was used to good advantage in the latest of illus- trated songs Papa, Buy Me an Air- !h’lIP and Highland Mary. 'he pictures for Wednesday and Thursday are headed by one of the beést, films produced this year. It is entitled “1776" or “The Hessian Ren- egades.” The story is laid during the stirring days of the revolution, giv- ing a vivid idea of the guerilla tactics and barborous practices of the Hes- sian ‘soldiers hired by England. An extremely comedy trick picture is A Trip to Juditer. It is colored through- out. © An interesting subjectis The (‘jgar Butt Pickers of Paris. Other pictures are His Wife's Birthday and Tom! Remove; Does It Pay? Doeg it pay in dollars and cents to give a boy a rudimentary education? Recently a committee of teachers investigated the careers of 16 lads who were graduated from the elementary schools of Brooklyn 17 years ago. It was found that 84 of them were en- gaged in commerce, 36 in skilled la- bor, 22 in the professions, eight in civ- il service and 13 as managerssand fore- men. Their average annual income from their own personal efforts fig- ured up to $1,253.05. That sum is almost exactly 21-2 timas’ the average yearly earnings of the men classed as day laborers in the city of New York. The investigators contend, and they{ seem to have good reason for the con- tention, that by the acquisition of the elements of an education a boy is rais- ed to a plane which brings within his reach a future of greater efficiency. No sacrifice is too great for parents to make in order to send their sons through the lower grades of the pub- lic sehools, even if, by force of circum- stances, the doors of high schools and colleges are closed against them. The monay value of an eduecation is not the best nor the strongest argn- ment. in its behalf, but. it is not to be wholly disregdarded in a world where oung men must fight for a living.— oston Globe. 5 The only precions ttonen'nf consid- erable value produced in India ame the ruby and jadeite AND ON THURSDAY 0, 0, ¥, MISSES SKIRT.
