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

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."

Interesting Brevities.

top of which w-as painted over to rep

ground hole was filled with water.
the actor simulated a floating body

NINE CROPS GROWN IN
ITALY WITH WATER
American Commission Tells of Irriga
tion and Intensified Fanning
in Italy.
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.

TO BE GREAT SUCCESS
Started Originally As Humanitarian
Movement to Keep Children
Off City Streets.
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.
