David Belasco presents the native ac

Monday, May 20. Special price
Blanche Bates. David Belasco's pop
ular star in "Nobody's Widow" by
Avery Hopwood, the latest oi ner
many successes, will be the offering at
the Heilig theatre this week.
Miss Bates' success as Roaxna- Clay
ton, "the widow," has even surpassed
hits in "Madame But
terfly," "The Darling of the Gods," and
"The Girl of The Golden West' And in
asmuch as "Nowbody's Widow" is de
signated as a farcial romance, ner
triumph as a comedienne is all the
more emphatic.
"Nobody's Widow" is a delightful
comedy, as light and fascinating as
thistledown and as denciousiy euer

with a novelty of motif and construc
tive quality that established it last
season as one of New York's biggest
successes.
Mr. Belasco retains her-ehief sup
porting players, Bruce, McRae, Ade
laide Prince, Kenneth Hunter, Edith
Campbell, Alice Claire Elliott, Minor
S. Watson, Arthur Hymon and Man

that have made the name of Belasco
famous are conspicuously in evidence.

Baker Stock Company to Present Fam
ous Money-Mad Comedy This Week
If some one should hand you a mil
lion and tell you to go forth and
spend it legitimately in one year, get
ting receipts for every cent of it, do
it secretly that is not letting anyone
in on the fact that you were obliged
to spend it within the year according
to contract, you would have a bigger
job on your hands than you think.
Just such a situation as this forms the
plot for Brewster's Millions, the fam
ous comedy which the Baker . Stock
Company will present all week start
ing today matinee. There is a fascin
ation in the plot too, for these things
that happen to Monty Brewster are
just the things we have day dreamed
would happen to us -some day; and
many of us have so wanted them to
and thought so much - about it, that
we can easily imagine they are hap
pening to us while we watch the de
velopement of the plot. Such is the
fascination of barrells of money, of
course Monty had his troubles. Not
being permitted to take anyone into
his confidence all his friends thought
money had turned his brain and his
wild desire to get rid of it at every
plausible opportunity but caused them
to try to protect his interests until it
became a sort of running fight be
tween them. Then if he failed to re
port at the end of the year, dead broke
with all receipts to the satisfaction
of the administrator he would lose the
other inheritance of seven millions
and he as nearly hroke as possible in
the bargain. So it was some stren
uous times for Monty when the horse
he bet on won at a forty to one shot,
the chorus girl he backed in musical
comedy made a hit and the show was
a success, the tottering bank he de
posited in righted itself, the stocks
he bought as the worst on the market
suddenly shot skywards ,and all that
sort of thing. There is juSt one big
laugh after another coupled with
much excitement and a pretty love
story or two. Brewster's Millions is
one of the real hits on the American
stage today. Matinees will be given
Sunday and Saturday and Monday is
Bargain Night as usual. - I

The Svenska ldrottsforbuudet-to use
the official title of the association which
will have charge of runninj; off the
games at Stockholm has announced
that the heats in all races where trials
will be found necessary will be "seed
ed" that is. the crack men from the
different teams will be drawn, as far
apart as possible, with the idea that
the topnotc'.icrs will only come togeth

The plan was adopted for the pur
pose of insuring good racing in tlie
trials and semifinals and that only the"

into thefinal round.
How the Swedes propose to make the
draw is simple enough. When the offi
cial entry has been well straightened
out each country will be asked for a
list of its men. graded with the best
men at the top. so that it will be pos
sible to know the cracks from each

trouble in arranging them apart.
There Is a rumor also from Stock
holm that the Swedes may wait until"
all the teams arrive and at a meeting
of the representatives of each team
make the draw.
The plan of "seeding" the draw may
not mean close - contests in all the
heats, but it is a more desirable meth
od than the chance draw, which on
more than one important occasion
turned a first class contest into a fias
co. In using the chance draw there is
always the possibility -of bringing the
very best men together iu the first heat
and leaving only one good man. who
could gallop through to victory.
There was a glaring evjiinple of tfie
chance draw in the Olympiad at Lou
don four years ago. It was particular
ly so in the U00 meters, where Shep
pard and Halstead. two of the best
men on the United States team, were
drawn against each other and were
first and second respectively1 in the
second heat, which was by far the best
contested -of the lat.
Sheppard won by a yard after a ter
rific struggle on the home stretch, a
fact that showed that Halstead was
little inferior to the champion Hal
stead was knocked out of the compe
tion then and there, as only the win
ners qualified for the final. Had he
been in the final he would surely have
scored at least a point fur the United
States'.
Lightbody and Sullivan met in the
first heat, with the latter the winner
and the former in second place. A
"seeded" draw would have placed
them well apart, for Sullivan was an
ex-national champion miler and Light
body had been the vistor for the 1.500.
in the American Olympiad at St. Louis
in 1904.
When the games were held at Athens
in 190G James E. Sullivan, who was
then the American commissioner, sug
gested to "seed" the draw of the
sprints at the first meeting of the in

Tips From the Top.
The common spinning top of our
childhood days Is something more
than a mere toy. and its principles
have been translated to many of the
most nsefui things around us.
For example, by means of twisted
grooves the spinning powers of the
top have been imparted to rifle bul
lets and to the projectiles of our big
guns. The torpedo, too. is maintained
on its course by a similar property.
There is a compass dependent upon
the principles of a top. and the gyro
static railway is but another step in
the same direction.
The Australian boomerang and quoits
in flight possess some of the properties
of the top Pearson's Weekly.
