v/ of a Bride The elegance of Katherine Miller’s solte tnd the oddness of her collection of round hand mirrors fascinated me; nevertheless, the peculiar decorative scheme was far from being the reallj Important Interest of our call that afternoon. The chat drifted naturally from the discussion of the circle as a symbol to mysticism In general. If It hadn’t drifted, I suppose somebody would have picked It up and hurled It into the talk. I'd like to know whore to find a group of women whose conversation does not hinge on spiritism. It usually begins with the recital of remarkable revelations made by the spirit of a sol-, dler. Not Infrequently the poor restless ghosts have reported to their sorrowing relatives the full story of their death in action, and It is said that one wandering soul described (o his mother the place where his Wbnried body was hidden and implored her to have his bones interred with those of his company who fell in the same charge! Friends of soldiers who were killea in the war say that the dead communicate with the living by rapping the furniture, sometimes by means of wireless instrument, frequently through the vocal organs of a medium! Chrys and Katherine discussed these methods —to my vast astonishment. I considered them simply silly, of course, but was too polite to say so. Finally they ngreed that the ouija board is the best as well as the most popular method for getting In touch with the spirit world. “Chrystobel. where can I fmv a ouija board?” asked Katherine. “I’ve searched the shops—big and little -but the craze lias taken such a hold on this town that not a ouija board Is to be bought!” “What good news!” said Chrys. and I marveled, for our Chrys might be said to have the honor of reviving the cult several years ago, and I supposed she would want it to spread. She made her meaning clearer In her next sentence. “It Isn’t a thing to trifle with, Katherine. Communications with the dead otfght not to be undertaken in n light mood, yon know. Unless yon go at it In the proper frame of mind, I hardly think you will get very satisfactory results.” Thoro spoke the real devotee, said I to myself. Chrys may fool herself, but she does'so unwittingly. She Is sincere. She doesn't understand her subconscions mind, that's all. And if she is honest, I snppose other devotees are equally so. I noticed, however, that Chrys did not repeat to Katherine one item of information which she had long ago confided to me, “Spiritism strains the average brain t>ecause It Is ro unfamiliar, so contrary to ordinary kinds of mental activity,” she had asserted, but she could hardly make the statement to an aspirant for Initiation euch as Katherine Miller x:is. “Better be careful, Katherine,” I remarked. "Didn’t you read the- other day that flTe residents a town in California had lost their minds over the ouija bewd?” “Tea, I did,” she replied. “Another news item says that the village council of an eastern burg has forbidden the merchants to sell ouija hoards! Some fad, Isn't It? Why, the dealers told me that the factories are doubling their capacity and In about six months thretailers may catch up with their orders. 1 can’t wait that long for a board. Chrystobel, haven’t you an old on© you could lend me?” “Perhaps I have, but please don’t go into this Just for fun.” pleaded Chrys. “You know, Katherine, that everybody isn't Sited to receive spirit messages.’ said I. “Why, the controls simply scorn me. and stalls on the board fc henever I \me within ten feet of the table!’’ “It isn’t a toy,” aald Chrys lmpatlentl “It was In the beginning—Just a child alphabet,” I reminded her. ”By the way. Chrys, what does the queer name mean?” “Odd of you to miss It, Jane! It’s merely a combination of words meaning •yes’ from two foreign lalguagts, the first from the French, the second from the Dutch.” Then she turned to Katherine with: "I’ve a half dozen boards. It’s hard to part with any one them, for the ‘controls’ have fads, you know.” —Copyright, 1920. (Te Be Continued.)

DANCERS WITH MABEL M’CANE CREATE A SENSATION ‘Ben Hur’ Retains Its Appeal—Dance Revue at Lyric—Musical Play at Murat

The local vaudeville and legitimate stage Is offering a wide variety of euterj talament this week. The dancers with Mabel McCone at j Keith’s this week are setting a pace which other dancers will find very dlf- ; flcult to follow. The dancers are immense. * “Ben-Hur” is repeating well at English's this week. The Murat for the first three dayr, of the week has very light | musical farce in “Nothing But Love.” The Lyric's bill Is headed by a dance J revue while both the Broadway and the Rialto offer sketches as their headliners. The Park is housing "The Aviator | Girls.” -I- -I- -II THE MURAT. All musical shows can not be great and “Nothing But Love” is i member of the not class. The greatest fault with this contribution to the musical comedy stage Is that It does not give the actors enough to do. A bunch of able-bodied men are present but they have so little real work to do that they will never need a vacation from overwork iu this vehicle. The scenery is pleasing, but Just good scenery and one little appealing tune will not make a show great. “Nothing But : Love” lacks the goods that makes a show . good. Andrew Tombes Is the featured member of the cast and at times he manages to find enough to do to keep himself busy for a short time at least. He does more than anyone else in the cast. Ruby Norton as June Marbury and Betty Pierce as Lucy Cotton are easily the most pleasing of the cost. Miss Pierce has her melody opportunity in "When I Walk Out With You.” The song h!t, “Ask the Stars," is a haunting iitt'e melody and Is wo I put over by Miss Norton. Cl .reive Nordstrom is fairly satisfactory, and Florence Enright as Bella, the maid, fails to get the most out of her part. The chorus appears young but are far from being sensational dancers. “Nothing But Love” has one thing to its .credit —it is clean and the chorus decently clad at all times, although they wear bathing suits In one scene. The engagement closes with the Wednesday mntlnee and night performance. -I- -I- -I-“BEN-nUR.” “Ben-Hur" is not a play. It is not a show; it is a glorious chapter from a wonder age painted by a Iloosler dreamer and it will live forever as a monument to dramatic perfection. The production now playing at the English is an impressive spectacle, rich in historical scenes and portrayed by capable players. The story Is old and known In every circle, but Its full mean- l ing can not be grasped until the stage production of Gen. Lew Wallace's masterpiece Is seen as it is now presented. j Richard Bunler, us Juda, son of Itba- I mar, the hero, the galley stave, the war- ; rior and the man of God, proves hlmsvlf an artist In his role, but It can not be said that his portrayal of the principal character overshadows that of Leslls | Stowe as Simonides, the servant of the house of Hur, or Peggy May as Esther, I the daughter of Simonides. T. Jerome Lawler, the Roman warrior Messala; Stella Boniface Weaver ns Amram, Laura Burt as the mother of Hur and Theresa Moehan as Tlrzu, blend Into the cast with fitting ability. The scenic is a marvel of art. The play Is staged In six acts, with thirteen scenes. Twelve trained horses appear on the stage In the famous chariot race and a camel is used to lend Egyptian color In the scene of the coming of Balthazer. The stage work In shifting and arranging scenes Is accomplished with surprising rnpldity and the play unfolds in a manner that arouses wonder in all who behold. “Ben-Hur” is noted as one of tha greatest dramatic spectacles on tlie American stage and the cast is worthy of the tribute of being in the production. The only jarring feature of the production proved to be an aged curtain used In the first act. “Ben-Hur” remains at English's all week. -!- -I- *!* MABEL MoCANE. In considering Miss Mabel MrCane’s dance and song revne, now on view at Keith's, credit must be given to Miss Me Cane for her good showmanship Judgment by surrounding herself with two splendid dancers anil n satisfactory male singer. Some women of the stage would hesitate In presenting the McCane act as elaborately as Miss McCane has done. Tom Bryan. Lillian Broderick, easily the best dances- of her kind on the vaudej rllle stage today, and William Taylor assist the star in songs and dances. The McCane act radiates class and It Is a thoroughbred offering, employing In the dance numbers some exhibitions of i shoulder twisting, whieh are of a revolu- ! tlonary nature. Mis* McCane’s best song number is one about the presence of a little bit of Indian In every little girl when she paints her cheeks and puts feathers on her head. Hex clgaret number Is eleverely done, although It doe* not appeal to the masses. The dancers are the big smash to the act. Beautiful stage settings. Hcrmlne Shone and a large company present a sketch with music, “Peggy j O'Brien.” During part of the time somp of the actors aro In a stage box. | By changing her hats to give a character touch to the people she Impersonates, Claudia Coleman introduces a num- \ beg of types familiar to everybody. Her best Impersonation is that of the “chew ; lng gum” girl behind a music counter, j Edward Marshall, a cartoonist, draws j pictures or people In the audience, while he speaks of events and the great dry j desert. The Clinton Sisters open the ! i hill with a series of interpretative dances, j which are unusual to the regular vaudeville offering. The Bell*laire Brothers offer some splendid acrobatic stunts, which easily makes them one of the sea- ] tures of the bill. From an applause standpoint the “rube” ! offering of Clifford and Wills In “Jasper Junction,” is the hit of the bill. It is plain slapstick stuff, but the nrtlstery \A/h&n your head feels like rr f cere a b as k e t c f broken bottles —you need BEECHAM’S PILLS Stomach or bowel disorder poisons the blood and thus irritates the rest of the body. ® Br lSle of Any Medicine In the World.

1 BETTY PIERCE A song, “When I Walk Oat With Yon,” gives Miss Betty Pierce her main chance In "Nothing But Love” at the Murat tho first half of the week. She is a pleasing little person. of Clifford as the rube station agent puts the act at the head of the list as a popular favorite. Many curtain calls, speeches and the like. At Keith's all week. -r -I- -ILYKIC. “On with the dance 1” That Is the name of a sketch given by Winfield GUralne and girls at the Lyric this week. This act Is the headliner on ft bill that is composed of various forms of entertainment. The girls in. “On With the Dance” do a great deal of dancing and some singing. Detzell and Carrol have an act entitled “The Jazz Doctor.” LaFrancp brothers have some out-of-the-ordlnary feats of balancing. Florence Randßll and company present a comedy. The name Is “A Temperance Woman," and It makes a hit. Robblnson and Penny advertise them selves as “The Boys From Jazzland." They have some syncopated tunes and Jokes. Lura Burnett, former woman champion wrestler of the world, and her company have a fist-full of surprises. Revardl and James disguise as Italian street musicians, and Fielding and Boomer give so ne songs and jokes. A Fox comedy Is the principal part of the movie end of the entertainment. -I- -!- -I-' KIALTO. Nat Leffingwell and company were in the first part of their comedy playlet, “A Night at the Lodge," when we entered the Rialto. We Joined In the general laugh and sat down to await developments.

Miss Shuttn appeared to the wriler to Inject as much pep and action Info her work yesterday afternoon as she would at the first performance of the season last August.

We will not be responsible for any colors fading or running, although our troubles on that score have been very slight. When a pair of blankets are not cut apart, we call it a double blanket, and our charge for rebinding is for two ends only.
