Johnson Forbes Bobertson Is Indication That Merit Is Appreciated. MAY NOT USE TITLE DUBING HIS TOUB OF AMERICA Lady Constance Stuart-Richardson Now Doing Turn in New York Boot Garden. Is By Beau Rialto. iDNiTro ruu liaieo wru. New York, June 1. A vivid excep tion to the rule that a prophet is not without honor save in his own coun try is to be found in Sir Johnston Forbes Tlobertson, the English actor Who was recently knighted by Kiug George V of England for his dramatic achievements. When he closed his sea son the other night preparatory to last performance in England for all 'oming to America, he said it was his time, and ho got a farewell ovation that would turn the heads of most people. It was a rousing adieu that even outdid New York's famous good byes to Madame Sarah Bernhardt. As the veteran actor spoke his last lines and the curtain started slowly downward the "000 people that packed the theater applauded deafeningly and called on him for a speech. Then when he djd appear it was fifteen minutes before he could make himself beard. Men and women stood in their chairs waving handkerchiefs, laughing and crying hysterically. Ushers over whelmed the stage with a veritable avalanche of flowers and altogether it was a very un-British demonstration. For once Forbes Robertson's histri onic ability deserted him and he could not keep down the emotion that th spontaneous outburst brought to him. He essayed a humorous speech but it was too much for him. Instoad lie gave a few reminiscences of his first years on the English stage, telling how he first played Hamlet when a boy in his father's home. His sister doubled as Ophelia and the First Grave Digger, and when the girl dug her own grave in the family living room, it was too much for the audion-o and they giggled. The first time he attempted Hamlet in a theater, he snid, he made up too old for the part and a scene shifter said: "Oh, Hill, 'ere come the ghost of 'Amlot's father." But to make a long story short, the demonstration was proof positive tf tho Tact that one of the world 's great est actors has won tho highest niche in his own country. Sir Jnhiston forbes Robertson docs not have to come to America either fo' rccrgui tion or dollars. With his pretty yo.ing wifo, Gertrudo Eliott, sister of Maxinc Elliott, Forbes Robertson will begin his American season in October, and he says positively that it will be his last acting. Ho has been ou tho stage for forty years and finally wou the reeog nit ion of tho king. Ctiwilliug to use his titlo as an advertisement in his work, the great actor will retire, he says. It Is doubtful if Sir Johnston Forbes Robertson will be. billed as such on his American tour. He has not made, a positive statement but has in timated that he desires his title not ' to ho used in advertisements Sir .lames M. Barrio, Hart., tho English playwright who was created n Imroiiet when Forbes Robertson received his knighthood, also has ordered his pub lishers and the managers using his plays nut to use his title for publicity. He will not let himself appear as a baronet on billboards or ill newspaper advertising, ho says. t Speaking of titlo, the American theater-goers are getting them a plenty. While tho American coriphees have the British public at their feet, trio Brit ish performers with title are winning fame in this country, turning tho ta bles, so to speak. I-ady Constance Stimrt Richardson, the titled barefoot dancer is now doing a turn at a New York roof garden and later will tour a vaudeville cir cuit. People looking at the picture of Idy Constance wonder why she is billed only as a barefoot dancer. All of which talk about knights and ladies brings to mind that old one told by the late Sir Arthur Sullivan. A new play was about to have its pre miere in London, and connected with it in various rnpaoltie were Sir Henry Irving and Sir Phillip llurne .lones, the artist. Before the initial rise nf tho curtain, tho stagehand were discuss ing tint show' prosHS-ts. Said one: "Sir Phillip Biirne June mid Sir Arthur Sullivan and Sir Henry Irving, lluhl Three blooiniti' knlghls, and that's just about what I give it." As a prophet ho was not so Sad. The play closed before the end of t'e week. Anil then there was Ten Knight la Bar Not Oh, very well. They're at it again David Bclasco tolda stage-struck giri down in Allan tic City that she must break tier en gagement to marry "and send her young man about his business," if she i wanted to achieve fame on the stage. Laurettc Taylor, Doris Kecne, Julia Sanderson, Billie Burke and other stars who are either happily married or not married at all, promptly took issue with Bclasco, while his only supporter is Madame Fritzi Scheff, twice di vorced, lielasco and Madame Scheff hold that a successful actress has no time for home life, for love or domes ticity, while their opponents assert that without knowledge of love and suffering, martial entanglements and home life, no woman has enough knowl edge to be a successful actress. An aetress, they say, portrays Iifa. How an one portray life who ha not lived f THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE AND HYPNOTISM INVOLVED Ethel Grandon and Joseph Harris. New York, June 21. Ethel Grandon and Joseph Harris in a powerful play entitled "The Spell," which deals in interesting and striking manner with thought transference and hypnot ism. The story follows the fortunes a young doctor, his sweetheart and hypnotic performer. The doctor stud ies hypnotism and becomes fairly pro ficient and he and somo friends, includ ing his sweetheart, practice some ex periments. The girl and some acquain tances resolve to attend tho perform ance of nu advertised hypnotist and tho man discovers that the girl is not beautiful, but singularly amenable as a medium. Ho induces her to go away with him, and she is unable to with stand his lnfuenco. The search for and final unmasking of tho scoundrel by the young doctor, his deep studies and tho forcing of the fakir's will to Ins own, makes a most impressive and attention-compelling story. I Leah Baird, Who Chorus Girl "Bound-Up." New York, June 21. Tho annual "round up" for chorus girls of various Shubcrt reduction occurred on day Inst week and attracted over 2S00 ap plicant. Ned Wayburn, general pro- lucer for the Winter Garden, wa In command and attended to the needing out priiies. From tin large number of ambitious young women, Mr. Wey burn chose les than three hundred. These were put through various exer cise and then divided into sections and parceled out to five shows. The first assortment of beauties will be utilied to? the "Passing Show" which is to go on at the Winter Gar den the latter part of July. Thj other will be used for three new productions which the Messrs. Shubcrt are to make between now and August 1st, In cluding " 'Op O' My Thumb." lib''; 'fj ckotd psxss ixisid win.) New York, June 21. With the resig nation two weeks ago of Miss Leah Baird from her position as leading wo man with the "V'itagraph company, to join King Baggot of the Imp1 company, another well known and highly popu lar star has been ad. led to the list of those now appearing regularly in pro ductions of the Universal Film Manu- facturing company. Miss Baird sailed last week for Eu rope, where she will join Mr. Baggot .and Mr- Brennon, and appear in a se ries of pictures which will be produced in England. This series, which marks a new epoch in foreign pictures pro duced under the direction of American manufacturers, will take up in detail much of the important history of the British empire, and will be Btaged in ! localities where the salient events of .the English dynasty of the last two i hundred J ears actually occurred. I Mr. Brennon, who went to England several weeks ago, has made all ar rangements for the taking of the pic tures, and together with Mr. Baggot is now awaiting the arrival of Miss Baird before the actual work is begun. I Announcement of Miss Baird 's res ignation from the Vitagraph company came as a surprise to the film world, especially in view of hor recent bril-1 liant Riiceesses in a number of biff urn- Inetinns. She will be fcaturod in the ! forthcoming Imp releases, together with King Baggot. Previous to entering moving pictures Miss Baird was featured for three yeare with William A. Brady produc tions, one of the biggest of which was The Gentleman from Mississippi. " Prior to that time she was a member of stock compannies with Arthur Byron and Mortimer Snow. Her theatrical experience began eight years ago at a salary which man agers alleged to be $25 a week. "But I only received $20," declared Miss Baird, "which was a good per centage of the original sum promised, considering tho uncertainty of pay days as far back as eight years ago. "I have always been an admirer of tho work of Mr. Baggot, and it has been my ambition to appear in pic tures with him. When the Universal Film Manufacturing company offered mo the opportunity to go to Europe and take a loading part in some of the biggest feature productions the con cern has ever made, I simply could not resist the temptation to accpt. "From what I have been told of the intentions of the Universal company in regard to tho pictures which will be made abroad, they will be something entirely new and are bound to create a world-wide sensation. At any rate, I am going to do the best I possibly can to help do it." Joins Imp Company BILLIE BURKE WILL TOUB IN "THE AMAZONS." run-so russ ijussd win New' York, June 21. Charles Froh man and Miss Billie Burke after con- j siderablc negotiations by cable have reached an agreement which (vrmits the announcement that Miss Burke, before her next appearance in New York, will make a brief tour as "Tom my" llclturbet, the girl who grew up as a boy, in "The Amazons." This tour which will bo oni of the quick swing arouid tlie circle kind will start early in the autumn and will in dude engagement of one weik each in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington aiwl Chicago and of thre night each in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Detroit and possibly a few other largo eitic. Nu merous letter that have been received yv from theater-goers all over tha coun try, inquiring as to the probatle dates of Miss Burke's appearance .in her latest success in their home theaters, have aided Mr. Frohman n.-lerially in persuading the popular young star to give these additional perfoimances of the delightful I'inero comedy. Meanwhile, Miss Burke having closed her exceptionally successful en gagement in "The Amazons" at the Empire theater, New York, w'll sail immediately for Europe to eujoy the well earned vacation which her hit as the little tomboy compelled her to de fer. For her next annual engagement New York City, Miss Burke will have a new play. Interesting Brevities. Patrons of the Globe theafr were delightedly pleased with the vaudeville feature that was presented this week by Del Adelphia, the master .Lagician, who does things that astonish even the most skeptical. From pulling r multi tude of animals and fowls from empty baskets and snuffing caged birds into invisibility he carries his audience into deeper mysteries causing many stub born "show me" mind to leave the material realm and delve into the at Biosphere of the immaterial vainly seeking some solution, as Del Adelphia causes to appear and disappear and even multiply, from nowhere bautiful girls decked in the colors of "sailor Jack." Pritchard and Pritchard and their little. 27 months' old daughter sure caused a near riot during their engage ment at the Bligh this week. Mr. Pritchard, as a negro, brought the house down with peals of laughter as he gave vent to his many original catchy songs. Laughter, however, turned to real meaning applause when the little daughter of the Pritehards ml,e fo,,S vl ner wn- The part taken by Mrs. Pritchard was a scream and caused many people to return to the show the second time to witness the prformance. Miss Maude Adams in "Petit Pan" opened a new theater the Page at Medford, Oregon, on Monday evening, Jlay 19. It was the most notable event in the history of the town which is one of the growing cities in the western part of the state. Clara Williams, native daughter of golden California and former leading woman for the Luhin company, is now a fixture nf the Universal company, in pictures depictiu.- wwteru lif.. la ad dition to being u clever rider, Miss Williams is also an enthusiastic mo torist, Bwimmer and tennis player. She has a jiromifting future if, her past work can- be taken as a standard. The head scenic artist of the Univer sal Film Company, and his assistants, recently scored a big success in de picting the body of a drowned man floating in the main sewer of a big city. A hole was dug in the ground and covered with a darkened arch, the top of which w-as painted over to rep resent the bricks of a sewer. A man hole in the arch allowed Bunlight to be reflected inside from - a mirror. The ground hole was filled with water. the actor simulated a floating body and the sunlight was thrown on hi face, making a highly realistic picture. That nation-famed company, the Frank Rich company, have signed up with the management of the Bligh theatre, and will play a return en gngement in that show house, beginn ing with the matinee on Sunday, June 22, playing both afternoon and evening through Tuesdav, June 24. Each day the company will present a new play with an entire change of scenery, fea turing IB dancing girls and presenting musical comedy in all its phases. The troupe is composed of 20 people, all specialists in their several parts, and patrons who attend will sure witness a great treat. Immediately after closing their engagement here the troupe will go to Seattle to open a season's engage ment in one of the leading theatres of that city. Tha Brilliant Stan ot June.

There is an American commission of agriculture touring abroad. They are learning things. The following report from Milan, Italy should be of partic ular interest to all where irrigation is used. In Italy it has been demonstrated that with water and judicious and in genious fertilization, poor land can be made to- produce a more than favorable balance of trade. The article follows: Milan, Italy, June 1. On a dry and gTavelly soil farmers of this district harvest as many as nine forage crops in a single year. The secret of the ex treme fertility of this region lies in the system of irrigation which was Bhown to the Americans. In the days when Milan was a power ful independent power, tho victories of the Milanese troops were celebrated not by statues, but by the more sensible idea of building canals or irrigating systems. As a consequence the coun try about this city is honeycombed with irrigation ditches. About twenty year ago, a plant was erected by the govern ment to carry the sewage of the city into these ditches. From the main ca nals the sewage charged water is car ried through the irrigating ditches into the fields. This water spreads thinly over the fields and since it has a comparatively kith temperature the fields are keept green and productive for all except about 40 days of the year, despite the fact that he winters are comparatively severe. The heavy forage crop which this system makes possible is respon sible for the great development of the dairy industry of this district. Large quantities of cheese and condensed milk are exported eacn year to countries which have better natural facilities for dairy products than the country about Milan. Even the street sweepings are used to increase the productivity of the neigh boring farms. Bones and other refuse matter of a similar character are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, and the manure is sold to farmers engaged iu intensive agriculture, principally in raising silk worms. The fertilizer sales are insufficient to meet the expenses of operating the system. The cost bal ance is made up through taxes. Abundant labor is needed to obtain the agricultural results which the sta tistics of this district show. But pro gressive methods are always depended upon. American tarm machinery is fre quently seen by the American visitors to Northern Italy. Where such inten sive cultivation is practiced it is profit able to use large quantities of fertiliz ers and manure. To the south of Milan where most of the irrigated lands are situated the farms are about 250 acres The principal industry of these farms is dairying, the herds averaging from 100 to 150 cows. The milk is used in cheese making chiefly. The American commis sioners were shown some excellent types of co-operative dairies which are pecu liarly fitted to the type of farmer in that district who cannot profitably market his product alone, as his farm is on too small a scale. The fact must not be lost sight of that the Italian farmers are progres sing, and that their progress is based on thrift. The lesson learned by the American commission in Italv has been a lesson in industry and thrift. TALKS ON THRIFT, i "A young man may have many friends, but he will find none so steadfast, so constant, so ready to respond to his wants, so capable of pushing him ahead as a little loath-er-coveied book with the name of a bank on its cover." Sir Thomas Lipton. If there is any one thing more than another that successful men strive to impress upon the minds of ambitious. beginners as a necessary element of success, it is systematic saving. The views of Sir Thomas Lipton expressed above and those of Marshall Field in the next paragraph are typical of an overwhelming amount of similar testi mony and advice from tho lipt of so called self made men. The great Chi cago merchant said: If you want to succeed, save, This is true, not so much because of the value of the money which the young man who saves accumu lates, but because of the infinitely greater value of the system and or ganization which the practice of . saving introduces into his life. Thi result of the saving habit is not generally nor properly appre ciated. I consider it to be almost the greatest element in making for a young man's success. In the first place, it creates determina tion. This at the start. Then it develops steady purpose; then sus tained energy. Soon it produces alert, discriminating intelligence. These all rapidly grow into an ability that enables him to take the money he ha accumulated (even though small in amount) and employ it with profit. Better and better return follow up his indus try, ability and judgment and to his capital now steadily increas ing. Soon he is secure and that comparatively eaily in life; and each day widens the gulf between him and incompetence and its in variable companion, improvidence. This is the real framework of the structure of success. Each of its supports, it will invariably be found, rests upon a foundation stone of an early dollar saved. There is a distinct moral and mental value in the prictice of sensible econo my. A college president puts it this wav: There is no greater steadying in fluence for young men than a growing account in some good bank. There is a sense of pro prietorship and responsibility in buying a Certificate of Deposit, while a savings pass-book is an anchor to hold a boy steady in the shoal waters. The same idea is expressed in the Manual of the Boy Scouts of America, in this way: A scout is thrifty. He does not wantonly destroy property. He works faithfully, wastes nothing, 'and makes the best use of his op portunities. He saves his money so that he may pay his own, be generous to those in need, and helpful to worthy objects. One of the most important things young people can learn is the value of money, and one of the best ways to do it is to save money systematically and to deposit it regularly in a strong, interest-paying bank. It is a splendid preparation for busi ness, too. The boy who early becomes familiar with banks and tho earning power of money will have a distinct advantage when he starts on his busi ness career. The viewpoint of the employer on this subject is illustrated by these words of a prominent manufacturer: The best men working in our shops today are the men who are saving money regularly. The stead iness of purpose and ambition thus displayed is apparant in their work. They are the men to whom advancements and promotions most frequently come and they are the last to be laid off when times are dull. WILL NOT PUT OFF TRIAL BECAUSE OF STAB'S DEATH tcsmro fbess uisro wise. Fort Stevens, Ore., June 21. Al though the body of a man found drowned at the jetty near Aberdeen, Wash., has been practically identified as that of Private James Crawford, star witness in the court-martial of Waldo A. Coffman, the army trial of the soldier on charges of seditious ut terances, will proceed, it was announced today. Another witness, Private Lowe, also missing, is known to be ill in Cali fornia. Excitement was caused at the fort by the discovery that John Turner, a writ er, who achieved note during the re cent troubles in Mexico by being ar rested by the provisional government, after the death of Madero, had attempt ed to interview Coffman, but was inter cepted by the guards. Extra precautions are being taken to prevent any one gaining access to Coff man's quarters. It takes a fussy woman to beieve that neighborhood gossip is true when she knows it isn't.

Children in 150 or more American cities will continue going to school dur ing the summer months this year, ac cording to information received at the- United States bureau of education. Clarence Arthur Perry, in a publication issued by the Rqssel Sage Foundation, New York City, finds that 141 muni cipalities reported vacation schools in one or more buildings in 1912, and there will undoubtedly be more this year. Starting originally as a humanitarian movement to keep children off the city streets, the vacation schools have be come an important part of the school system with a tremendous influence in the demand for the all-year school. The steady development from 50 cities in 1909 to 141 in 1912 indicates that va cation schools represent a genuine edu cational demand, and not a mere fad. Seme of the schools keep open as long as ten weeks, but six weeks is the usual term. In most cities the session is five dnys a week, though 11 cities report sessions of six days. The school authori se have generally provided the funds for the work, but they have sometimes) been aided by tuition fees or private contributions. Appropriations for vacation-school work in 1912 totalled more than $.'100,000. The vacation schools have been dis tinctly successful in most of tho in- stances reported to the bureau of edu- '"tion. Jn Newark, N. J., where the. vacation school idea is oldest, Supt. Poland placed two elementary schools upon an all-year basis in June, 1912. Some of the advantages claimed for the vacation schools arc: They have interested pupils who have not been interested in the work of the regular term; they have been useful in giving deficient pupils a chance to make up lost ground; they have proved to be generally beneficial to the health of teachers and pupils; and they have giv en teachers who have taught in them a clearer insight into the real needs- ! ef school children.
