DUSTIN FARNUM AT THE HEILIG THEATRE NOVEMBER 10, 11, 12.
The favorite and startling actor, Dustin Farnum, and a big ompany of 100
people will present the gripping play of the Civil War, "The Littleest
Rebel", at the Heilig Theatre, 7 and Taylor Streets, Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday nights, November 10, 11, 12. Popular Price Matinee Tuesday.
HEILIG THEATRE"
The big scene in "The Little Re
bel," the Dustin Farnum success,
which comes, to the Heilig Theatre,
7th and Taylor, today, Sunday, Nov
ember 10th, for three nights, and pop
ular priced matinee Tuesday, has to
do with the visit of Captain Cary, the
Confederate soldier to his Virginia
home. His once stately mansion is
In ashes, his wife is dead, the one re
maining servant is missing, and his
little daughter, the little rebel, is
keeping a weary virgil for her parent,
who crawls through the Union lines
occasionally to bring her food. When
he arrives in a sad plight, finds the
little one with her doll and taking her
on his knee teaches her to tell her
first lie.
"Would General Lee want me to
tell a lie?" she asks innocently.
"Yes,i just this once. Sometime he
will tell you so himself," replies her
father, and she learns that she is to
tell the Union officer who will entsr
the house shortly, that her father was
Falling From the Sun to the Earth.
The philosophers have figured out
some queer problem since the time of
Horatio, but none of them is more cu
rious than that relating to the amount
of time it would take for an object to
fall from l tie sun or moon to our
earth. It bus Uocu decided, after an
Immense amount of figuring, that If a
bowlder weighing a ton should fall
from the sun It would take ninety-nine
years, nine months and two hours to
reach the earth. The same bowlder
could make the trip from the moon to
the earth In four and one-half days.
ter collapse on the witness stand.
The role of leading counsel for
Peggy's husbanda combination of
courtesy, shrewdness and remorseless
probing contributes much to the
success of this scene. This role is
in the hands of Stanley J. Warming
ton, who was educated and graduated
as an English barrister, and who later,
following in the footsteps of his an
cestors, adopted the stage as a pro
fession. Another clever piece " of acting,
which supplies the relief of humor in
this play of high tension, is furnished
in the character of Lord Ellerdine, a
quiet, self-confessed dullard, who "re
quires time" to understand anything;
yet in the end supplies the clue -that
proves Peggy innocent. This role is
in the hands of the English actor, Mr.
Hamilton Deane.
The role of Peggy is that of a gay,
thoughtless and most incautious wife
whose follies, although really inno
cent, results in placing her in such a
compromising situation, that her hus
band brings -an action for divorce.
His case seems sustained by the evi
dence, but he believes his wife's pro

that goes past the blackberry bushes
and the well. This she does when
Colonel Morrisonl appears on the
scene and orders her to- open the
door. Her father, in the meantime,
has crawled into the loft of the shed
that is the habitat of his daughter,
Dustin Farnum as the Northern officer
is the most talked of actor on the
American stage, and as Colonel Mor
rison he is picturesque, sympathetic
and forceful. Diminutive Mary Miles
Minter who has created a sensation
as Virgie, the little rebel, will linger
long in the memory of the theatre
goers, especially the ladies and child
ren. She is a well drilled, and a preco
cious juvenile actress and exhibits a
certain natural capacity for acting.
"The Little Rebel" is heartily recommended-as
one of the best and most
convincing war plays that was ever
written. Three characters figure
conspicuously in the story. Colonel
Morrison of the United States Caval
Iry, Cary a Confederate soldier and
his little daughter, Virgie. The next
important is General Grant, who
dominates the last act.

ROBBY BURNIT
The Baker Players to be Seen in a
New Comedy by Author of
Wallingford.
The title of the Baker Players offer
ing, Bobby Burnit, is doubtless new
to every local play-goer, but the name
of its prolific author is a familiar
household now. He is none - other
than George Randolph Chester, who
wrote the famous Get Rich Quick
Wallingford stories that ran so long
in The Saturday Evening Post and
are now running in the Cosmopolitan.
Bobby Burnit is dramatized also by
Winchell Smith who dramatized Wal
lingford and the Fortune Hunter, and
it is a big success everywhere. The
Baker Players will present it for the
first time in Portland and one of the
first in the west It is a story of a
son of a wealthly man who being left
a valuable estate comes from abroad
to manage it, only to get most inglor
iously. skinned by a gang of clever
business sharps, and then who wakes
up, makes some grand! bluffs, and
causes his enemies to- have a series
of brainstorms that fill the audience
with sheer delight as he delivers
knock out after knock out and finally
sends them down for the count. It is
a remarkably clever, fast action com
edy, typical of the well known author,
contains a dashof love or two and a
lot of interesting characters. The
comedy is far above the average,. In
fact, there is a laugh every mimute
almost and it is of the original kind,
filled with surprises. Robert Conness
ill play the role of Robby and Alice
Fleming his sweetheart. The play en
joyed a long run in New York with
Wallace Eddinger in the title role.
The usual matinees will be given at
the Baker, being Sunday (the opening
performance) Wednesday and Satur
day. The popular bargain night,-Mon
day, will also be a feature of the

J. ADVERTISING J
I TALKS No. 2 I
(By Ralph Kaye.)
Are you getting the BEST results
from your advertising? If not there is
something wrong provided of course
what you offer has MERIT.
Advertising is a matter of DOL
LARS and SENSE applied to the prop

To create business you must create
a DESIRE for your goods.
Good advertising is not merely tell
ing people you have 'certain goods
to sell at certain prices in order to
arouse interest in your goods you
inuSt ?how the PERSONAL POSSI
BILITIES youi1 gfiradg possess. People
want REASONS before buying.
For instance If you are Jn the con

that a certain amount of candy is
GOOD FOR THEM that it has a ten
dency to make people FAT? Do they
know the DELICIOUS FLAVOR of
your candy the kind of flavor they
DREAM about? And how- about your

I : - - ' t
t A TRUE STORY $
By F. A. MITCHEL
HHUfcA A A A A A A A A A A if if it
There is no more attractive region
on the Atlantic coast for summer out-'
tngs than Casco bay, Maine, and the
many islands it contains. ' There the hot
waves' of July and August are dissi
pated. It Is seldom that there is not
a breeze there.
In winter the inhabitants of the is
lands fish, mostly with huge nets. In
summer those owning boats turn an
honest penny by taking visitors out
upon the glorious waters. At almost
any time one may see the sail of a
pleasure boat bending to the breeze,
and the engines' of motorbouts are al
was throbbing like a rapid drumbeat.
Not far from Orr's island, where Har
riet Beecher Stowe laid the scene of
one of her stories, and to the eastward
is Mark island. It contains possibly
half a dozen acres and is densely wood
ed. It stands alone, there being -no
other land within several miles of it.
Its shores are rocky, and the waves
curling up on them even in fair weath
er" warn skippers to keep off, while dur
ing storms they send watery plumes
high into the air. '
During the last decade of the nine
teenth century Mar; island was pur
chased by a man living in Portland,
some dozen miles distant, who made
a summer residence of it. In the early
summer he would go there in his yacht,
remain during July and August, and
when the hegira of summer boarders to
the city came around, the 1st of Sep
tember, he would lock, bar and bolt
his house and sail away by the same
conveyance. -
Who was the owner of Mark island
the people living on the neighboring
land did not know. Orr's and Bailey's
islands, well stocked with summer cot
tagers and boarders, lie to the west
ward, while Sebasco is not far to the
eastward. No one at any of these
places ever made the acquaintance of
the owner of Mark island. He neither
visited any other locality nor Invited
his neighbors to visit him. Indeed, no
boat was allowed to make a. landing

different times approached with the
view of going ashore, but they were
always warned off.
The denizens of Mark island, so far
as those who were used to sailing by
it noticed, were two white men and a
colored man who acted as a servant
Besides, there was a white woman who
was occasionally seen sitting in a leafy
bower above a rock against which the
waters swished. Sometimes she would
be reading and as boats sailed by
would look up at those aboard. But
usually she sat idly gazing upon the
beautiful bay and the islands lying
tranquilly upon its bosom. Yet, wheth
er reading er dreaming,, there was al
ways a sad look on her face.
No one could be better situated to
keep a secret than on Mark island for
the reason that there was no liability
to suspicion of having a secret to keep.
The only neighbors are those passing
In boats. Each island in Casco bay Is
a locality of itself. Within sight of
Orr's and Bailey's islands are a number
of these small oases of the waters, on
some of which are one or more houses,
while others have no Inhabitants what
ever. Some are wooded, some barren
rocks. Few persons know to whom
they belong, and no one cares. Some
are occupied by the same persons year
after year, some change hands often,
while the barren rocks are always
desolate.
The only excitant of curiosity at Mark
island was the desolate lady. Had
she been constantly in sight of the
same persons some of them would
doubtless have been sufficiently curi
ous to make an attempt to- discover the
cause of her sorrow. But the yachts
and the other different kinds of boats
that sailed by never contained the
same persons, and the vision they saw
lasted but a few moments.
For several years Mark island was
occupied by 4he same persons. Tho
desolate lady sat in her bower, and
landing there was prohibited. Possi
bly the secret attached to it might have
been kept forever had it not been for

"Dinner is over, then, sfr," said the

Companion.
a v -
The northeast Atlantic coast is sub
ject to fogs. One summer a low, al
most invisible line appeared on the
horizon from Mark island. It broaden
ed until it became a bank of fog which
spread itself over the whole bay. We
all know what a fog is to those who
traverse the waters, both ships out at
sea and small boats near the land. It
happened that a boat load of pleasure
seekers from Bailey's island were
. caught out in this fog. For hours they
drifted, not knowing whether they
j were going out to sea or toward the
j land. - The bay is full of reefs, and no
one is fitted for a fekipper on its wa
ters except one who knows every reef.
The occupants of the befogged boat
did not know what moment. It might
strike one of these reefs, a hole be
.made in its bottom and they would all
perish.
Suddenly they discovered within a
dozen yards of them a shore in one
part of which was a narrow indenta
tion In the rocks by which they might
make a landing. They were so relieved
that all raised their voices in happy
exclamations. As they were making
their way to the landing place the dim
figure of a man appeared on the shore
and shouted
j "Keep off! You can't land here!"
"We will land here," replied the skip
per, "and jve'll stay here till the fog
lifts."
, "You won't land here," said the other
doggedly. ' y
As the nose of the boat scraped the
shore of Mark island the man who pro
hibited the landing pushed her away.
A man on the boat seized an oar and
- was about to bring it down on the oth
er's head w-hen he stepped back and,
drawing a revolver, threatened to shoot
the first man who attempted to come
ashore. .- . ;
There was a violent protest on the
part of the occupants of the boat
against being turned back in the fog.
possibly to their death. There were
women aboard, and they begged the
men to leave the Inhospitable place and
finally prevailed upon them to do so.
So they drifted away, muttering curses
upon the man who had refused them a
landing.
A deathknell had been sounded for
, the secret of Mark island. Had the
man permitted the landing the party
would not have remained long on the
island and might hot have gone 100
yards from their -boat, for the fog
soon lifted, and they got safely back
to their destination with the story of
their inhuman treatment
But why had they been thus treat
ed? The reply was that something
was going ou at Mark island that the
perpetrators were unwilling to have
known. The story and this supposed
reason for the party having been re
fused a landing at the point of a pis
tol passed . from mouth to mouth. It
was suggested that the desolate lady
was kept there a prisoner. But if this
were so why had she not asked to be
taken away by those on some of the
passing boats? Others thought that
some other person was held there and
the desolate lady was a party to the
outrage; but, though they differed as
to the crime, they all agreed that
Mark island was used for a' criminal
purpose.
Meanwhile Mark island remained an
unknown place. All were curious to
know what was going on there, but
It was no one's business to find out.
especially since this .could not be done
except at' the risk of getting shot
More boats sailed about it -than before,
and on every boat persons stared at it
wonderingly. All had heard of the
desolate lady and expected to see her
sitting on a rock, like a mermaid,
combing her hair. But the lady did
not appear; --Indeed, no one was to be
seen on the Island. Yet the house was
located In its center and so surrounded
by trees as to be invisible.
Meanwhile the story of Mark island
reached a person who pricked up his
ears the moment he heard it Later,
when the Portland boat touched the
landing at Orr's island, he stepped
ashore and put up at one of the ho
tels. He listened attentively to any
one who would talk to him about the
mystery, but said nothing himself.
The next day several other men arrived
at Orr's island, each man bearing "a
rifle. When asked why they were arm
ed they replied that they were going
on a hunt for moose ' in the Maine
woods. Since It was about the 1st of
September, not far from the shooting
season, the story was believed.
One morning the man who had first
arrived, accompanied by the hunting
party, hired a boat and sailed out
through the cut separating Orr's and
Bailey's Islands; then they turned their
- course to the eastward.
A few miles' sail brought them to
Mark island, and instead of gaping at
It they made straight for the shore.
On reaching it the men cocked their
rifles and Jumped on the rocks. Their
landing was not opposed, and they
went up to the house. They found It
shut up, barred and bolted. Not even
a dog barked or a cat mewed.
They broke in the doors and began
a search of the premises. In the cel
lar they found a complete counterfeit
er's outfit
The leader of the party; a United
States government detective, had long
been' looking for the makers of cer
tain spurious bills that had been find
ing their way into circulation. A few
of these bills had been put out in New
England, but the bulk of them in other
locations. A man of education and re
finement was finally discovered to be
fie perpetrator, and the man who had
refused the befogged party a landing
was his assistant The desolate lady
was the former's wife, who, believing
that her husband would some day be
exposed, was simply waiting for that
day. The assistant, while the ,princi-
' pal and his wife were away from the
I Island, had very foolishly refused those
who sought rpfupe a )nnd!-jjr."'.

by his defeat of Al Kaufmau in two

among the li feliows who seek to
bring back the heavyweight title to

matched in New York some months
ago. At that time Palzer demanded
more money than the promoters could
afford to offer, and so the match was
declared off.
Both of these young giants are too
green at present for a championship
match. The fight going public would
not care to see either offered, up as a
sacrifice to the present champion. But
their future prospects look at least
brighter than those of any other white
heavy in the ring today. Although
both have been outpointed by men of
greater experience ;and may be again
this does not prove that they are
not the real thing and may yet make

with his manager, Palzer is in retire

ahead.
McCarty's next important engage
ment, will be with that destroyer of
white hopes, Jim Flynn. Followers of
pugilism see no hope In Flynn, be
cause he is too old to improve. But
the Pueblo fireman is still strong and,
having plenty of experience, will be a
dangerous obstacle in McCarty's path.
Judging by the result of 'his last three
bouts McCarty has shown much of the
Improvement that was predicted for
him when he was beaten .recently by
Jim Stewart In that contest McCarty
proved that he was game, aggressive
and that his . fine physique was
equipped with quick acting muscles.
All his faults were of the kind that
proper schooling can remove. He had
speed, the one essential quality and
one that Is so frequently absent In big,
heavy muscled men. McCarty's awk

blows of their effectiveness and made
him look the novice he still is. But
there is no reason apparent why, with
proper instruction and constant prac

and also polish np his boxing. With
greater skill will come the ability to
keep cool and plan his battle. Ring
generalship only comes after long ex'
perience. no matter how phlegmatic a
boxer's disposition may be.
In meeting Flynn, McCarty will
have need of good generalship, for
the older man has the cunning gained
by years in the ring. In other re
spects McCarty will have the advaa
tage, and should he prove the winnei
another big championship battle will
not be so far off.
Origin of Tapestry.
It is said that the art of weaving
tapestry was borrowed from the Sara'
cens, although it is claimed that tht
invention of tapestry hangings belongs
to the Netherlands. They were madt
in France under Henry IV. by artists
imported from Flanders. The art was
brought into England . by Sheldon, th
first establishment for its manufacture
being at Mortlake, 1606. Dnder Louis
XIV. the art was greatly Improved in
France. Very early instances of tap
estry making are mentioned by the an.
cients; hence the Saracens could onlj
have revived the art in what may b
called modern times. New York American.
