BY LLOYD F. LONERGAN.
NEW YORK. Oct. 10. (Special.)
"William Faversham has a brand
new triangle play In "The Hawk,"
that opened at the Shubert Theater this
week. It was written by a French
man, Francis de Croisset, and Mr. Fav
ersham has for his leading woman a
distinguished French actress. Mile. Ga
brielle Dorziat, who is making her first
appearance in this country.
Although "The Hawk" is built on the
lines of the eternal triangle, it is alto
cether different from any of its prede
cessors. The husband and wife are
both card "sharks" and make their
money by unfair play. He cheats be
cause he loves his wife and wants to
buy her fine clothes and luxuries. She
cheats for the woman's reason be
cause. She is perfectly happy in the game
until another man fails in love with
her and she loves him, but when he
sees her robbing an American. Kric
Xracon, he is horrified and finally
leaves her.
The scenes between the husband and
wife are powerful and dramatic. Mile.
iJorzlat gave a fine and impressive per
formance. She has more fascination
than beauty, but New York theater--goers
are ready to admit slie is the fin
est Importation we have had in many
ears.
Mr. Faversham as the cheat was more
like himself as we knew him before
his Shakespearean plunge.
"Daddy Long Legs," by Jean Web
ster, who Is a niece of the late Mark
Twain, made a big hit when it opened
at the Gaiety on Monday night. Miss
Webster is lucky to have such a dainty,
charming little lady as Ruth Chatterton
to play the lead, for it is not easy to
get a young and pretty leading woman
who is also an actress.
The story is sweet and simple. Judy
Is a miserable little girl in an orphan
asylum. She Is adopted by a wealthy
man and sent to college but is never
told the name pf her benefactor, as all
of her correspondence with him is
handled through his attorney. In lieu
of another name she calls him "Daddy
Ijong Legs," as she remembers the only
men she ever saw call at the orphanage
looked like spiders and he must be one
of these. When vacation comes in col
lege she Is sent to a farm and there
meets her unknown guardian, but he
doesn't disclose his identity and she
tells him of Daddy Long Legs, much to
bis amusement.
It is such a pretty story that it must
end happily and everyone goes home'
with a smile.
"Tipping the 'Winner" at the Long
acre Theater is a winner only in name.
It is almost too English to please a
Metropolitan audience. It is a comedy
in three acts by George Molllt, adapted
for America by Richard Norton.
The story of "Tipping the Winner" Is
too old for children and too young for
grownups. Edith Taliaferro and Molly
Pearson play the leading roles or two
good little girls who lived with their
aunt. They get tired of aunty, who is
a terror, and decide to : make some
money by giving racing information to
readers of racing papers.
As impossible as it may seem, they
make all kinds of money and buy pretty
things until people suddenly rush in
and demand the money back that they
have sent by mail. They lie out of it
and finally agree to be "Just good lit
tle girls." There were lots of pretty
girls and youth but there wasn't any
play.
Keith's Btage children are now forced
to go to school? as K. R. Albee. general
manager and half owner of the Keith
Vaudeville Circuit, has organized a pro
fessional children's school at 220 West
lony-sixth street. While playing in
New York, the children are compelled
to go there. ' ,
Mr. Albee has always co-operated
with the Geery Society in New York
and with similar organizations else
where in safeguarding stage children,
and the Keith theaters have a special
set of rules for protection of minors
who appear upon their stages.
The professional children's school
was opened last January and now has
an enrollment of 38, said to be the
brightest pupils in the United States.
The little actors and actresses repre
sent most active intelligence. The
course Includes the regular work of the
elementary public schools.

MISSIONS HURT BY WAR
Methodists Declare "Large Losses and
Danger Are Caused.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. The board of
foreign missions of the Methodist-Epis
copal Church Issued a circular indi
cating the condition of Methodist mis
sions in Europe and in the colonial
possessions of the warring nations.
The greatest distress so far has oc
curred in Europe, where. Bishop Nuel
sen writes: "congregations are dis
persed, families broken up. churches
vacated, schools emptied, factories idle,
market places deserted and everywhere
disquietude and dread. Ministers and
laymen alike are called to bear arms
in Germany, France, Russia and Aus
tria." In Germany, the circular states,
Methodists face the necessity of clos
ing nearly one-half their churches and
selling the property for whatever it
will bring unless help comes speedily.
In the French Savoy, where parish
ioners are mostly farmers, crops are
unharvested because of lack of work
ers. Bulgaria allows no one to come
into or out of the country. In Swit
zerland there is danger provisions will
run low because of the men drawn
from industry and agriculture Into the
ranks of the army now mobilized. Some
Methodist ministers in Italy are al
ready called to the front. Business is
largely paralyzed. Workmen are idle.
To quote the circular: "People have
begun to cry for bread, and some of
these hungry ones are our own Meth
odists "
Outside of Europe the dangers and
distress are great. In Africa there is
danger of a Moslem, uprising. In India
financial disorders have caused great
embarrassment to the workers in the
field who had to cash drafts at rates
of exchange as high as 16 per cent.
Eastern Asia has partial paralysis of
trade, but "notable religious progress."
Bishop Bashford cables from Pekln:
"North China conference gains 25 per
cent in ministers and 20 per cent in
church members."
Churcnes in Japan and Korea are
undisturbed.
Diplomacy.
"Bliggins seems very fond of horses."
"He isn't. He is so much afraid of a
horse that he wouldn't, for the world,
let the animal suspect he wasn't fond
of him."
