' -But It detracts nothing from his oiher conceptions to s:iy that his Kip Van Winkle Is the greatest mid most popular of his Impersonations and that i more affectionate regard aye, genuine love la felt for the gen ial and, jovial old vagabond of the Catakllls .than any other stage crea tion of. recent or former timea has been known to win. Mr. JetTeraon has been playing it for twelve years. It has been an enormous auoceea from the very start. Dion Boucleauifs skill la In the line and sltuatlona and Sir. Jefferson's wonderful personality and powerful but gentle art are blend ed In the delineation of Rip. The bibulous old rascal haa been recom mended and maintained by the come dian's masterly toning of his Iniquities and graceful exportation of the ten derness and. sweetness of hla heart Mlllronsiof. people have learned to sympathise with Rip In the misfor tune he brought upon himself and family simply because Mr. Jefferson formed anme of the-sunshln and quaint: humor of his own nature Into Iflp'a frame, and made him an entirely human -happy-go-lucky laugh-distributing and sorrow-banishing hero. Re sides this. Mr. Jefferson gave his llip an artistic finish that was unapproach able and that made the character as' much his and his alone as a master piece of Velasquez or Tintoretto be longs exclusively to these artists. He gave the old vagabond a charm that has never failed him and an Individ uality that has no prototype on the ptnge ami that never will be duplicat ed there. It Is Impossible tn name any mctor of the past four decades with the exception of Thomas Jefferson's late father Joseph Jefferson, who could play this part at all like Mr. Jefferson. He Is playing Rip better than he ever .pluyed It before during a twelve year tour and If some of those who' saw his father in the role iff the sixties would drop In now they would be surprised at the growth and fulness of the character In Thomas Jefferson'a conception. It Is built tin of hearty and wholeeo.ne laughs and has 4 aufflclent u.-vsh of pathos to draw a tear now and men to emphasize IU bright and Joyous qualities. Mr. Jefferson haa been 25 years be fore the footlights. He has been a popular Idol. His Rip Van Winkle has made million laugh and cry. To day he Is the conspicuous Jefforsonlan fl.gure that the American theater can put forward. HI cllentelle grows with the years. His name, la a house hold word. He stands for sunshine amd laughter for the fragranei. of tha clwn heart and the aweetnesa of the pure soul. He hns been a missionary of merriment and has converted thousands to believe In his wholesome and healthy method of fun-making. Those who have not .yet enjoyed his delicious and dellghltful art should avail themselves of this fortunate op portunity. He will appear at the Auditorium, matinee and night, Mon day, October 30. and will present "Rip Van 'Winkle." Matinee prices are 25c to $1.00. Night prices are BOc to tl.liO.

The Lynchburg (Va. ) News of Oct. 24, 1911, had the following to say of the Metropolitan Concert Co., which comes to the Auditorium Thursday evening, Nov. 2nd, under the auspices of the riaraca-Pliilathoa Union of Ashevllle: An appreciative audience greeted the Metropolitan Concert Company last night at the City Auditorium on its annual vlslit to Lynchburg. The privilege of hearing so beautiful a program Is unusual. Both in mntcnt and execution It was above criticism. The ensemble work was superb and the soloists were in excellent form. Mra. Luella Chclson, Ohrman, charmed her audience by the exqui site timbre of her voice and the deli cacy of her Interpretations, while Miss Christine Miller held the house cap tlv'e by her breadth and rlchncscs of tone as well as by her magnetic per sonallty. Mr. DufTey's robust tenor is conspicuously beautiful. Mr. Martin, already a pronounced favorite with the music lovers of Lynchburg, was at his best and de lighted all by" KTe-Ttrre quality of his voice. The quartette was fortunate In hav lng with them Mr. Louis Potter, plan 1st and accompanist. The encores were especially charming. "The Rosary." "The Rosary," Rowland and Clif ford's theatrical success, which will be seen at the Auditorium next Wed nesday, November 1st, tells a story of a modern Garden of Eden In which, the serpen) enters in the form of a rejected suitor, who wrccka the home and happiness of a married couple by playing upon the Jealousy of the hus band. There Is diffused throughout the drama a remarkable air of purity, faith and nope from the opening acene, which pictures the happy cou ple about to celebrate their second marriage anniversary, and surrounded by all the creature comforts of mod ern civilization to the last act when tha twain, broken In health and for tunc, and wrecked by Jealousy come after two weary children at the feet of the old priest who has fathered them : throughout their troubles. , In CANADIANS OBJECT TO STARS AND STRIPES AT PICTURE SHOWS. k k -. v ' - ""' C .

"Seven Ja.vs." Creditable Indeed it Is to write a brilliant comedy, and the public Is never slow to show Its appreciation of a play that entertain.. Still more com mendable when playmakers achieve laughter and amusement without nn atom of Indelicacy. Praise to Mar' Roberts Klneiiart and Avery Hopwood for this very thing. In "Seven Ou,ys" they have written a comedy that scin tillates with wit and cleverness In every fraction of a second, that keeps an audience In paroxysms of laughter from start to finish without an In stant's let up. and does so In an ab solutely wholesome, tnVnner. Ameri cans should rejoice In this. Here Is an American comedy, written by Americans, dealing with Americans, in America, homemade and home bred throughout, recognized as the clever est play and the biggest auccess since the days of the lra,te Ctwarles H. Hoyt. also an American, and it hasn't a word or a scene or a hint that could offend the most fastidious. Perhaps farce will protlt by the object lesson furnished by "Seven Days" and realize that It Is possible to get superior article here hi home, and understand further that t..e American public pre fers clean comedy ot much of the sug gestive stuff from abroad. Still, a "Seven Days" Isn't found every day, nor every twenty years for that mat ter, for It hi:s been fully that long since there was a play that has cap tured popular fancy and set people laughing as this one la doing. "There is lively fun In 'Seven Days.' " said the New York Herald. ' "It Is an up. roarlnua comedy and It is clean as well as amusing. T hie re Is not a line one need blush over; and there la steady laughter all evening." See "Seven Days" at the Auditorium next Saturday, November 4th. und Judge It for yourself. You'll he repaid thousandfold. You'll laugh as you never laughed before and may never laugh again unless you see thla play a second time. You'll see the sensa tional comedy hit of the time, acted by a New York cast specially organized by Messrs. WagenhMa ft Kemper, and you'll see stage settings that will makt you wish your house waa furnished that way. THK lOWKK Of MUIITMXti. Figuring (he Amount of Light (.hen by a Single Hash. It is hardly possible t' use instru ments for the purpose of figuring the forces of lightning, yet there 'are many other ways of calculating fa iiillkir to every mathematician. The amount of light given by a single lightning tiasli is enough to Illumin ate an area of two square miles. The bolt itself would be visible several miles further off, but the remotest part of the region mentioned would have as much Unlit as would be given by a candle quite enough to read by. To produce such a light it would be necessary to expend 13,000 horse power for a second. These figures appear very large, but the time Is short. The flash might be for only 1-1000 part of a second, but the Im pression on the eye would continue for a tenth of a second anyway. Figured down to an exact hour this amount of force would mean only about four horee power. According to the engineer, light ning flashes usually occur within thunderclouds and only rarely from one ordinary cloud to another or from a cloud to the ground. They seem to follow the rnpid condensa tion of vapo In the air and to be caused by that phenomenon. The kind of electricity formed In a thun dercloud is not like that which Is produced by electrical machinery, lightning is static electricity, the same kind as is produced by rubbing amber with silk. When a body like a brass globe ia charged with static electricity the charge stays on the surface of it. The quantity of a full charge is limited by the area over which it can spread. When a large number of vapor particles unite to form a raindrop their electrical charges arc combined, but there Is not us much uce on a big drop as on the many particles which went Into It. Consequently there Is more electricity than the drop can hold. It must hunt up other accommodations, either in some cloud or on the earth. Flashes In th clouds are often several miles long. These flashes are composed of a chain of small flashes. The reme dying of one overcharged cloud by a discharge Into another Increases the load of that cloud and a number of discharges are needed to even things up. Lightning discharges from one cloud to another or to the earth dif fer greatly in force. Some lightning bolts are very heavy and splinter trees Into toothpicks, destroy build ings and fuse rock. Others are more mild and do little or no damage. The question of how the static elec tricity gets In fhe clouds Is very diffi cult to answer.' One theory Is that It Is generated by the evaporation of water by the sun's rays. Another that static discharges are continually taking place from the earth Into the air and are there readily collected by particles of moisture. When the particles of moisture condense they form heavy thunderclouds and this formation of raindrops causes the lightning flushes .r explained. Elec tric N'ews-Kulletin. . The Lai'Fos Way. .
