It warrants It. A private showing of the play was given at the Heilig Friday morning. The picture Is truly a masterpiece, representing a good deal of time, effort and outlay to give .It the wonderful touches of realism and color. The whole play Is built on a stupendous scale, sev eral of the scenes being made amid characteristic surroundings pyramids, deserts, for Instance. The story embraces many of the his torical facts used -by Shakespeare in "Julius ; Caesar" and "Antony and Cleopatra" . and many incidents used by the English poet. There is some original ' material, but nothing that will destroy the "historically correct"- syntax. The result Is a lucid and authentic account of the love affair between Cleo patra and Julius Caesar and the queen's overmastering passion for Mark Antony. The.sceaes shift from Alexandria to im perial Rome. . An historical incident vividly ' por trayed after the conceptions of several famous artists is the murder of Julius Caesar in the capitol. In passages of the play Miss Bara rises to heights in which she has never before been. seen. This is particularly so In the scenes of repentance. 1 Is said she uses 50 different cos tumes. ' The difference, however, is mostly in the way the beads are put on In the matter of these gowns it ap pears that the director practiced war economy, so very frank is the display of Miss Bara s physical charms and some of the seductive wiles she uses to ensnare her lovers. Withal, her acting com mands- respect and., her. dressings are remarkable for variety and beauty. .mMtmiHfflifemnnramflHiHmmHflfliitaffimiffl J TODAY !S .AMUSEMENTS j COLUMBIA Sixth between Wuhintton and Stark.

' f The Hotel Vanderbiltone of the most fashionable of the hostelries of New York, is responsible for the very latest Innovation In hotel attractions.' In all the large hotels throughout the country, the problem of entertaining the children Of the guests is the - ever present one which very few, if any, have solved to the satisfaction of the children or to the entire satisfaction of the management. The management of the Hotel Vander- bllt believes that it has solved this diffi cult problem by -arranging a- series of Saturday afternoon soirees for children. Beginning Saturday, January 20, and for six Saturdays thereafter, the youngsters will find ample to entertain them at these soirees. For the occasion, the Van derbilt .has engaged Elizabeth Pauline Gulick, the B'li-year-old Brooklyn, N. Y miss who has won fame with her orig inal stories for children. At these soirees, which will be presided over each Satur day by a different hostess, little Miss Gulick will "be the feature attraction, en tertaining the youngsters with her orig inal stories of giants, witches, fairies and the other characters dear to the hearts of the little ones. Miss Gulick is considered one of the very youngest authors In the country. Negotiations are now' pending to syndicate her "good night" stories. These, being told In the language of a 5-year-old. are certain to appeal to the very young ladies and gen tlemen for whom "good night" stories are written. Mrs. W. W. Irwin and Mrs. J. W.

Beauty Chat ' By Lillian Russell A Holiday at Khaki Town it ALLOW me to introduce you ml fiancee Just down for the week end." It has become one of the most commonplaces of life, in the training camps for a soldier to have his sweet- y.aart t ,,,, , . j Now that ' the nation has settled down seriously to winning this war, "leaves" have less frequency. Therefore, because he can't go to his girl, she comes to him, sometimes chaperoned and sometimes not. Many camps are close to the sea, but even if inland, the place may still be picturesque and interesting. What more natural, therefore, than for the soldier to have some one of his people, and es pecially his young wife or the girl he is engaged o, week-ending close at hand occasionally? A girl's spin to the country to visit her soldier Berves a double purpose It is also a holiday for her. Most training camps are beset by roving girls, with their false, airy graces, and it helps and strengthens the morals of many a man if his own true-hearted girl can run down for a few days sometimes to see mm to show up those "outsiders" by contrast. unen, wnen vacation time comes around how shall she spend it? Surely It Isa natural thing for her to have a blissful fortnight near the khaki camp. Perhaps they do arrange to meet at some quiet spot outside the town where khaki-colored figures do not so often penetrate, and there Is, therefore, less to remind the lovers of the sadness and bit terness of war. He gets out to her in his leisure hours, returning to camp to sleep, He may even secure special leave" of some kind, possibly six days "service leave," if he is entitled to It, so as to spend several days with her and her people, away from all military duties. Whit arrangement could be happier for two sensible people? For my part, I consider that for well intentioned young people to have holidays together. even If they are alone, both in war and peace, is an excellent idea. They thus get to know one another. Yet even now there are some "proper" people who can not make allowances for wartime and look rather askance at such holidays. One evening I had" a chat on the sea front with a charming elderly lady, and this subject cropped up. "I have four grown-up daughters," she confided to me. "They are all good-looking, yet un married, but not one of them would dream of taking a holiday in company with a man they happened to be en gaged to." ' I could not help thinking that had the worthy dame kept her girls a little less in a glass case and let the young men go about their love-making without so many parental restrictions, depending somewhat on the fine bring ing up of the daughters to take care of themselves, these young, ladies would not have been bewailing Jtheir spinster hood. All depends on tHe girls. Those with a sense of true comradeship should be trusted by their parents. A lot of those old proprieties will be found to have gone by the board. Par ental advice and control are excellent things In courtship, but perhaps there would be fewer unhappy marriages if the pair had had more opportunities of iiwiiiwimwuuuiuniuiwiiwui H ouseHold Hints For children in the primary grades, the mother may depend largely upon milk and eggs to furnish this type of food material, obtaining variety by flavorings, different methods of cooking, and most important, by varying the kind of home made bread used. Custard, junkets and blanc manges are ail good for kindergartners. Plain milk of good grade, stored ice cold In a thermos bot tle, is excellent, or this same milk may be flavored with weak cocoa and stored hot for the sake of variety. A young child does not like condiments or rel ishes unless the habit has been taught him, and it is far better for him to have only salt and very little pepper, if any. . Care must be taken not to make the box or basket too' heavy for the small person to carry easily. Pupils of gram mar, school and high school age will not object to taking in addition ' to "the thermos bottle a box in which a small cup or jar has been placed. Certain light desserts may be baked or molded di rectly in the cup. while the small glass jar with a screw top will be found inval uable for tarrying salads, puddings and other healthful dainties.

Ded Time Tale O Jimmy Coon Calls on Sammy Muskrat AFTER Jimmy Coon was so scared by his friends fooling him ; calling. "Fire," as he was sound asleep in his nice little cosy bedroom in the big hol low tree,- he felt awfully hungry. You remember that Jimmy hadn't had a bite to eat for six weeks and it was winter. And Jimmy Coon was very, very faint from hunger. And his stomach was so empty that he had to . pull in his bejt six holes, around his waist. And Jimmy Coon went off by himself to get away from those teasing friends. And Jimmy said to himself, "I believe I'll go and call on Sammy Muskrat. He's a good friend of mine ; and I know Sammy would give me some nice fresh-water clams. I'll go down to his little house right away and make a call." So Jimmy circled around Mirror Pond, and came to .Sammy Muskrat'sanlce lit tle house, near the upper end of the Pond. Sammy Muskrat's little bouse looked 'like a cock of hay, with its little dome of a roof. And the roof was cov ered with snow. And Jimmy Coon got up on the roof, and looked down the chimney and called loudly, down the chimney, "Sammy Muskrat, come, and open the door, and let me in quick. It's awfully cold nere on the roof. Don't you know my voice, Sammy? I am starving to death, and I want you to give me some of your nice fresh-water clams." But no voice answered him. And after a time, Jlmm Coon jumped down and walked . all around Sammy Musk- rat's house, trying to find a door or window. But every door was bolted, and all the windows had heavy shutters. and were fastened very securely, to keep out Mr. Red Fox. Mr. Wolf and otner enemies. Then Jimmy Coon saw that the wind had blown the snow off the ice. on Mirror Pond. The ice was about half an inch thick, and was Just as clear as glass.

Whether she is capable . of ordering a sensible meal within the post-marriage Income. She. meanwhile, can Judge if he can perform sensibly the other things that are a man's province, such as con veyances and baggage arrangements, telegraphing her arrival and safety to her people, putting her right with her landlord or landlady.
