German officers and a Chilean crew. To reach New York from the most southerly port on the globe required a voyage of 9000 miles, which the Ale jandrina took 92 days o cover.

As soon as Bhe leaves drydock she will be prepared for another equally long voyage, in fact many of them. In this respect her case probably is unique In the annals, of the seas. The arrival In New York of this old square-rigger and the great success of her voyage has raised the question, now being seriously discussed in mar itime circles, as to whether or not the sailing ship, with Its small crew, no heavy fuel cost and Its other eco nomical features, may not become a 1 NEW YEAR FULL OF PROMISE FOR ACTORS AND MANAGERS years of disuse it seemed like a very i i long chance, but Menendez & Co. umped at It and sent a representa ive to look at the wreck as she lav Eden Electric Washers Easy Terms 'Seventh Floor Everything Electrical Electric House Seventh Floor Lack of Theaters Appears to Be Among Biggest Worry of New York Show Producers Fifteen New Houses Predicted for Early Future. on the reef at Punta Arenas.

(Special.) -With the brighest outlook In many years, the new year promises to be unusually profitable for both actor and manager. Except for the out-of-town problem (that is one of the things that It Is hoped will adjust itself shortly) there are fw obstacles in the way of big re turns for theatrical backers. A big worry that seems likely to continue for awhile, at least. Is the lack of theaters another phase of the vex atious housing problem! A predic tion has been made that the coming fall will see 30 or 40 new theaters. Sounds very well, but with building conditions and prices as they are, and the lack of suitable sites, the real number will doubtless be about 16. Several more new openings, the most important of which was Jane Cowl's appearance in a new play, 'Smllln' Through," which deals with a phase of spiritualism. If this play makes a big hit it will show that It is the fine personality of the star that Is responsible, because Anthony Paul Kelly's "The Phantom Legion," which tiad a similar background, last ed less than a week on Broadway. Spiritualism is one of the absorbing subjects of the day and these plays are preparing the way for the big wave that will sweep over the coun try later in the year when Sir Oliver Lodge visits America and starts the spiritualistic ball a'rolllng. The story is by a dramatist new to New York Allan Langdon Martin, a young Cana dian. ' There was a brief prologue which pointed out that 'what was to follow V would be along trie lines or rantasy ' Before the porch of a house set in a delightful Earden the souls of two mothers meet in a mist and talk of their children who, in coming years, are to be hero and heroine of the story. The opening act presents two old men who quarrel over the en cagement of the niece of one to a soldier. The old man is down on marriage because of his unfortunat romance, and, as in On Trial and other plays since that time, the scene shifts back and the incidents of 50 years before are shown. The last act is in modern times, with the hero returning from the war as a wounded soldier, thus softening the old uncle's heart, and all ends happily. Miss Cowl makes a beauti ful picture, particularly In the old time scenes, and has abundant op portunity to display different emo tions during the course of the play. Orjne Caldara, who has been her lead lng man in several productions, plays the hero; Charlotte Granville had f- - ,.- ' , . its DAUGHTERS OF SULU SULTAN AND AGUINALDO STUDY HERE Princess Tarhata Kiram and Carmen Aguinaldo at University of Illinois Hope to Acquire Knowledge to Aid People at Home. f A" good part, while Henry ' Stephenson Philip Tonge and Ethelbert Hales are also in the cast. The two spirit moth ers are played by Lalive Browbell and'Elaine Inescourt. "Angel Face," George Lederer's pro duction, which was a big money-mak er in Chicago last summer, seems to have fallen short " of the expecteC success in New York. Chicago hits usually fare badly on the great white way. Whether this is because of the well-known jealousy that exists between the two cities, or just a case of different tastes, has never been discovered. Mr. Lederer brought comparatively new cast east, as few of those in the Colonial theater pro- auccion are Known here. There are several big favorites and an element of mystery, for he has not supplied the name of the win some little actress who has the title role. A row of-Interrogation marks ronows the name of "Betty, Mrs. Wise s youngest daughter, age 17," on the programme. Marguerite Zen der had the role In the Chicago pro duction and Ada Meade as the lead ing dancer has been replaced by Eme lie Lea, who -was "discovered" by John Cort a few seasons ago and danced herself to popularity In "Flo Flo." She Is a dancer of unusual ability, decidedly original, and she at least should have saved "Angel Face." Critics admitted that the music (bv Victor Herbert) is good, but found fault with the story, and of course the Chicago O. K. is indirectly re sponsible If the shpw does not have a long run. Several of the original members of the cast have their old parts, John Young, the chief come dian, Minerva Gray and Sara Mc Vickar, but Tyler Brooke, John Rein hart, Edna von Bulow and a number of the chorus girls ' are new to the production. Jack Donahue, whose ec centric dancing made such a sensa tion in Chicago, Is still In the cast and made a good impression with the critics. The story tells of a profes sor who thinks he has discovered the elixir of life and there are many amusing complications as circum stances seem to point that It has worked out as planned. "Angel Face" is a pretty girl who has fallen In love with the artist fiance of her sister, who is in love with someone else, but must marry first. As long as the oldest one is provided for, the scheming mama doesn't object particularly, as she marries off the entire five of her daughters at the same time. A very catchy air, "I'll Be Your Once-in-a-While," runs through the play. It is to be hoped that the theater-going public does not accept the decision of the critics. If they look into the matter themselves they, will surely approve of "Angel Face" and Its mys terious heroine.

MERICAN educational institutions feem to stand high in the esti mation of Uncle Sam's Philippine sland proteges and both sons and daughters of one-time rulers have matriculated in college here. The daughter of the eultan of Sulu and Mindanao, Princess Tarhata KJram, and the daughter of Emillo Aguinaldo, Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, are attend- ng the University of Illinois. The for mer is 17 years of ago and the lat ter 19. The fine spirit which animated these girls to come so far away from their lovely island homes to one of our edu cational centers; the spirit which caused their fathers, both influential figures in the Philippines, to entrust their daughters to our care, is a mat ter of much comment here. This year 140 pupils, all of them se lected for excellence In scholarship, were sent by the Philippine govern ment for advanced study in this coun try. Of this number eight were girls. Miss Aguinaldo plans to go back and becopie a teacher, probably at the t ninppine normal scnooi, at luanua, which both of the girls attended ana from which she graduated. The nor mal school is exactly like ours, which gives her junior standing at the uni versity. The princess, from her high station, will impart to her people the good she has received here. Princes I.lvru at Jolo. The princess lives at Jolo in the Sulu archipelago, where her father. the Sultan Hadjii Mohhamen Jamalel Kiram. has his home. Her father ex pects t5 visit here this year some time. At the court, which, by the way, has its retainers the same as other courts, Arabic is the language of cul ture and is used almost altogether. Malay is used somewhat. The sultan. as head of the province, is the center of arbitration between the governor and the Moros, who Inhabit the island of Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. They are of the Mohammedan belief, which also U the belief of the Buitan. The princess and Miss Aguinaldo asked to explain why an inland col lege like Illinois had been chosen, ex plained: "Our fathers wanted usito learn the really representative life of America, which he thought would not be found in a large city, but in smaller place like this. Then," the princess added, "I have come to learn those things here which will be of use to my people, and I shall watoh out for whatever may improve conditions for them." This little girl possesses remarkable force of character, com bined with a sweetness which is prov ing very winning to American girls. Their manner is quiet and demure yet not without a good deal of poise and dignity. Miss Aguinaldo, who is five feet four inches tall. Is the taller of the two. The princess is an enthu siast of outdoor sports of all kinds and is much like the average Ameri can girl. Miss Aguinaldo is of a more serious disposition. In her one finds the combination of domesticity and business ability. The affection that both girls have for their fathers is quite evidence from their frequent allusions to them. Falhrr Dnny Farmer. Since the insurrection," his daugh ter said, "my father has been bu with his farming interests his largt haciendala in the Cavite province and with his business in Manila." His home is in Manila, where he has one of the most beautiful residences in the capital and where he is known to en tertain elaborately. Miss Aguinaldo Is mistress of his home, and this par ticular one she described as having a river to one side, her father s office in front of the house, then beyond that the beautiful gardens. It is situated on an estate. On his haciendas he raises hemp, sugar cane and corn, and he is also engaged quite extensively in the cocoanut oil industry. Both girls frankly prefer their coun try homes to their more formal ones In the city. The princess has a favor ite Arabian horse named Subol, of which she is very fond. The sultan, of course, has many fine Arabian horses, and Subol was a recent gift to the princess when she was at Jolo on a vacation from the normal school. She is an excellent horsewamon and when In the country spends most of her time riding. "I like the country so much better, she said earnestly. "There It Is so free, and if I want to go to the movies all I have to do is to motor into town." The Filipinos are musical, notably so, but these girls do not care for ragtime, although they have heard a great, deal of it. Miss Aguinaldo, in particular, expresses an aversion for it. "I hear it a lot," she said, "but I do not like it. I am usually very busy when I am at home, and when I have any spare time I play the piano, but always sad pieces. I do not like the gay ones," she explained. The social customs of the Islands are much like ours, they said. Be cause girls of warmer climates ma ture more rapidly than those of cold er climates, the age of 16 or 17 is considered a reasonable one for the Philippine girl to embark upon her social career. The girls are always chaperoned until they are marrMed, and In only a few families are the girls allowed to choose their own husbands. The southern European customs still prevail throughout the slands, and the husbands are, in most cases, selected by parental authority. The princess is very fond of swim ming. "I love to swim and dive," she said, her brown eyes flashing. 'The water around Jolo is very clear; no matter how deep it is you can usually see the bottom. There are sharks in the water, ofcourse, but we ' jiui icar 1 11 1 ii, lur we B 1 Liu ill bwiiii at night, and in the daytime we can always see them." The women of the Philippines have more than 375 women's clubs, and they are busily engaged in civic im provement, health conditions and the prevention of Infant mortality. It is expected that soon they will have equal suffrage, for the Philippine woman has always been her husband's partner and shared equally with him. An equal suffrage association was formed not long ago in Manila. The girls have come here to make our country theirs during their two years, and they are looking forward eagerly to this coming year, hoping to UKe us as much as they expect to and' that Is a lot.

V NOT long since, with her vast ex panse of picturesque white wings spread to full capacity to catch every puff of a favorable south easterly breeze, there sailed into New York harbor an old-fashioned, full rigged, four-masted ship. To the few admiring sailor men of the old school who from the city docks watched her majestic progresB up the East river she presented a beautiful picture, one 'which was strongly reminiscent of other times, when such vessels were a common enough sight on every sea and In every port. That was the day before the tramp steamers practically drove every other cargo-carrying craft off the seas. The Alejandrina, the name of the good ship which now lies in a Brook lyn drydock, comes in varied ways as one from the dead, arisen again to a new life of usefulness after a long period In an ocean graveyard, as a wrecked and useless hulk, the play thing of every Incoming tide. Hers is a sUanse story of the ea, which begins 25 years back when the staunch ship Andrina was beached In a terrible storm on a reef In the strait of Magellen. In seven feet of water and mud one part of her lay, while nother section of her hull, untouched by water, was imbedded in two feet of sand and mud. Built by Mordaunt & Co. in South ampton, England, the Andrina was a very staunch ship of beautifully curved outlines, but when she went ashore she was regarded as a total loss by her underwriters and her Brit ish owners, so she was left to rot, her bones to whiten in the tun, exposed to the ravages of wind and storm and shifting tides. Most ships undergoing such an experience would have gone to pieces long ago. but the Andrina was built of stronger stuff. In recent months, when the need of ocean-going ship tonnage caused by the world's war has been tremen dous, the firm of Menendez & Co., called the wool kings of Patagonia, were looking everywhere, so hard pressed were they to find transporta tion lor their product.
