Everything Is gray and gloomy and repellant There Isn't a. touch of warmth In the cold picture. Nobody draws a natural breath ", or thinks a natural thought i It Is Ibsen at his worst The characters are ab normal, and all-symbolic and full of hidden meanings.

Her transition from the self-centered and passionate Rita of the first act to the aombre and tragedy-shrouded figure In acts two and three, was little short of marvelous. And not a detail of costuming, pose ormotion ls slighted. She tells her story in the swing -of her arms; In the pose of the torso, in the poise of her chin. What if her words are some times unintelligible" Mere words ;a,re superfluous. The strangely weird and seductive characteristics of Nazlmova pervade the whole atmosphere - of the play, the scenery has caught the foreign touch, and the ensemble is as unusual and misshapen as Is the Nazlmova person' Sllty. ;:--,..;..'::';v..1!''...-ivl .

The Sign of - the Rose" Is as Its title would Indicate, impregnated , with touching tragedy,' Yet while vaude ville and tragedy are notably perhaps,' notoriously antipathetic, George Be ban and his associate players wrung both tears and applause . from the Or- pheum : audience last night. Beban's characterization of the Italian Is .so far superior to . that of Lionel Barrymore as-to be beyond comparison; his playet glows with the warmth of . Inspiration. "The Sign of the Rose" IS a plea and admonition and, while threatening to cheapen Itself by reason of these facts, precludes the possibility of disparage ment by wholesome tenderness and ad mirably handled pathos,- ;It concerns itself with the kidnapping of a babe of. wealthy parents by the Mafia. -and the killing of anotherthat of an ltal-J wn si mwiy stratum oy an automo bile.. t'-Viy-i' ;'i'., i The scene is in tne shop of a florist Here," awaking the arrival of the kid napers to collect : ; the, ransom money, which is to be psld over, when "the sigh of the rose" is given, are Hatch, the central . off ice man burly, "brut ish, bellowing and Mrs. Van Brunt, the mother.

"Real issues" In the proposed water mains amendment to the city charter are explained In a statement made by Sherman W. Walker, chairman'of j the publicity committee of the CiviC Coun cil. The ClVia. Council is an organiza tion composed of all imrrovement as sociations. , The proposed amendment lays, the cost of extending the water system, laying of mains, etc.,', upon the water department. A bond. Issue Is also provided for. The alleged pur pose is to make such a condition ; as permitted last summer's jast water famine impossible hereafter. The fol lowing facts are submitted by the com mittee: "The effect on street work under the new faw ;wHl compare, with great favor with the effect under the present law which has not worked successfully for ' the reason ; that street work has been retarded rather than assisted under its operations. '. - : ''. '-.-;' -,-'' l "- . Cannot Xay Own Mains. ';;V; '' "The water board is not now nermiti ted to Jay nialns""with its own crews and materials, but must do so through contractors and atthat not through contractors who have the. work In hand i ney ao not want n ana win not ian it if they can avoid It, and when they do take such work thy charge a price much . higher , than the Job is really worth. The new law provides that the water board may do the work" of lay in mains Itself, thereby saving in some eases at much as 85 per' cent of the present cost. " "Again, one of the most advantageous features of the new law will be th laying of extensions into districts not having a sufficient supply of water or where there la now no-wntur at ill urAy anyone wha "can reallre the in convenience of not having water 1 his house will support a law that would change such an altogether undesirable condition. " . : Merely Advancing the Money. "The people should understand, too. that persons now, paying for the con struction of water - facilities and the laying of mains, are only advancing the money necessary to . cover the cost of such , work, and that to them and to none other will repayment be mad Whenever the main yields a revenue of 6 per cent the water board may take it over with money obtained by bona issue. ,., . "The new law will provide absolute protection against land speculators and ror this reason should recommend-ltself to every voter. As to the aotual cost to the property owners under, the new law, we would recommend that- every voter read the amendment proposed and see if he does not thereafter understand that a decided reduction in the cost of the enlargement of our present, water system will result from the use of the cheap money therein provided. The bonds issued are to be retired In 2S fears, all the property owner pays is per cent per annum, including prin cipal .and , interest, on the cost of his main and he will have paid but 60 per cen of the principal at the time the bond is retired. The proposed amend ment does riot change the present law in the matter of the payment by the city xor water to be used for municipal purposes. "The plans proposed under the amendment will 'be almost identical with those used In other large cities. This statement is not intended to go into detail but is made to urge the voters to look into the matter before giving credit to either written or oral statements on the subject We wish to appeal to the voters to support and adopt the water mains amendment, be cause it will afford relief from the present evil condition which la caused by an Inadequate system.'' - Montana Men Pick Up Meteor.
