(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Sept. 2C. A real melo
drama one of the "Curse-You-Jack-Dalton"
order, is "The Dragon's
Claw," which made its initial appear
ance here recently at the New Am
sterdam theatre. Magnificently stag
ed and superbly acted, this, three act
play is lacking in the vitally necessary
quality the "punch"' end for that
reason seems doomed to failure.
Austin Strong is the author. Tak
ing the Boxer rebellion of a few years
ago in China as a setting he has writ
ten a rather weak story of an army
officer's jealousy of his wife.
All the characters that go to make
up the real blood and thunder "ten
twent-thirt" stuff are there. We have
the hero a handsome chap in the
person of an American army officer.
Charles D. Waldron takes this part
and plays it well that is, as well as
he can with the material offered him
The heroine is his wife admirably
portrayed by Gladys Hanson.
The villian ? Oh, surely, we have a
villian. He is always present with his
schemings and plottings and he is af
ter the hero's wife. He is about to
get her, too, we think, when just then
the Boxer rebellion breaks out.
Our hero rushes forth to spike the
enemy's guns or some such perfor
mance and his daring opens his wife's
eyes. She discovers then that she
loves him all the time and the villian
is thus foiled. Curses!
One bright spot in the drama is the
acting of Frederic de Belleville, wn
has the part of a good natured French
Chef. He is thoroughly human and
very often humorous. His generous
heart and gallant manner are a real
delight.
But all in all we fear that "The
Dragon's Claw" will not scratch very
deeply.
Al Jolson is soon to return to the
Winter Garden, for the first time since
February, 1C13. This was made
known leeently in connection with the
announcement ending the engagement
of "The Passing Show cf 1914" in
New York. This show ends at the
Winter Garden October 3, and Jolson
will head the annual fall production of
the Winter Garden which will take its
place.
The ttile and cast of the new pro
duction has not been announced. Re
hearsals have been under way. for
sometime, however.
"Just how far can a girl go without
risking her reputation?"
This question is causing consider
able comment in New York since the
presentation of "A Modern Girl" at
the Comedy Theatre. Billed as a
comedy drama, this play startlingly
brings before the public the manner in
which the average young woman to
day conducts herself.
The leading figure in the play "The
Modern Girl" breaks every conven
tionality known to society. The
crowning event of the play comes
when she visits, unchaperoned, the
apartment of a man vhem har father
is about to appeal to for financial aid.
Of course, neither father nor daugh
ter knew the other would be there.
The father is about ready to kill tha
man whom he was going to ask to help
him but he is brought to his senses.
The point brought out the strongest
seems to be the fault of the modern
girl's conduct lies with her parents.
The girl of today is left to shift for
herself altogether too much according
to the playwrights Misses Marion
Fairfax and Ruth Mitchell. The pa
rents spend to much time in seeking
amusement for themselves and not
enough in training their children, ac
cording, to the play's lesson.
The Hippodrome is out with a chal
lenge. Its beauties are up in arms.
A new crop of girls was engaged for
this year's production, the "Wars of
the World," some recruited from dif
ferent Brodway shows, and others en
tirely new arid fresh.
At any rate these girls are unusu
ally Drettv. attractive, and youthful,
and in their own estimation, the mos:
fascinating lot in town. Rumors have
reached them since the opening tha.
the Winter Garden girls have been
3IG FIGHT ON FOR
OHIO DRY AMENDMENT.
Cleveland, O., Sept 26. The cam
paign to add a statewide prohibition
amendment to Ohio's constitution at
the general elections in November was
formally opened here today when
"wet" and "dry" speakers clashed in
a joint debate before the City Club of
Cleveland.
Thirty thousand dollars has been
raised to conduct the temperance
fighting in Cleveland and Cuyhoga
county alone. In nearly every county
in the state both factions have their
central committee with ward and pre
cinct captains to canvass every voter,
Although both "wet" and "dry"
forces declare the fight is non-politi
cal, Gov. Cox, Democratic candidate
for re-election is said to have "wet"
tendencies while his Progressive op
ponent James R. Garfield has joined
the "drys." The Republican platform
refused to take a stand on the quea
tion, but Congressman Frank B. Wil
lis, candidate for Governor, is known
to have strong "dry" sympathies.
KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
INVADE SAN FRANCISCO,
San Francisco, Sept. 26. Fifteen
hundred Knights of Fhythias arrived
in San Francisco today from the cen
tral and northern parts of the state,
bringing with them a class of 200 can
didates to receive the ranks of the or
der at Fythian Castle. Grand Chan
cellor Miller and other grand officers
will take an active part in the work,
Costly Ancestors.
Two close-fisted Missouri brother
sued a neighbor for $375 owing on a
land deal. They engaged the best
lawyer In their county seat The law
yer won the case. The brothers called
to see about his fee. One stayed out
side and the other went In. "How
much Is it?" he asked.
"Well," said the lawyer, "I won't
be hard on you. I have known both
you boys since you were children.
and I knew your pap. I guess $300
will be about right."
The inquiring brother went out
dazed. "Lordly, George," he said to
the one outside, "I'm dura glad he
didn't know grandpap, too."
Old Memories.
Representative Simeon D. Fese of
Ohio met an old friend In Washington
the other day and they fell to discuss
ing the ravages of time, especially in
regard to loss of hair.
"Yes, I have a great prejudice
against being bald," remarked Fees'
friend, "but I guess I'm elected."
"Well, you know the old story about
the big fly and the little fly," said Fess.
The big fly and the little fly were
promenading across an expansive bald
head, and the big fly remarked to the
little fly: 'See this fine, wide boule
vard here? I can remember when It
waa nothing but a narrow cowpath.' "
Monkeys and Gum.
In tropical countries the natives
have many unique ways of catching
monkeys. One of them as explained
by a traveler is this:
The hunters walk about In short
boots in sight of the monkeys. Then
they take the boots off, place soma
gum In the bottoms and leave them
on tne ground, withdrawing to a
great distance themselves. Presently
the monkeys come down from the
trees, try on the boots and when th
hunters come after them the bcoU,
stick to them and they are unaUle tc
climb. Thus the imitative littl
