THEATRICAL NOTES.

AS TO CURRENCY REFORM

AT Till; (OLOMAI, Only two works more remain of the current production of Geo. M. Cohan, the "l'ankcc Doodle Comedian," and his bright and lively music play and Fonj? show, "George "Washington, Jr.," at Chicago's beautiful theatre, the Colonial, 'and the tremendous business that has attended the performances week aftr week since its arrival Is the best testimonial of the merits and popular attractiveness of the comedian and his offering;. For more than two months the jolly play, brimful of catchy music, bright and original comedy lines and situations and true Cohanisrns, and Interpreted by an excellent company, has been entertaining hosts of lovers of this light and effervescing; style of Btagre material, and the enjoyment of the audiences has been attested by repeated encores and enthusiastic bursts of applause, as well aa the fact that everyone departs at the conclusion of the performance whistling and humming the tuneful airs and commenting on the patriotic and original spirit of thfi play. Several features of special moment attend the closing preform -ances, the final performance to be given on Saturday night. Dec. 1, and there is to be an extra Thanksfflvinsr Day matinee. It Is reported on seml-o!ticial authority that young Mr. Cohan and his present company will return to the Colonial next spring- for a summer run In his latest play, "Popularity," which will be given a musical atmosphere, and the principal role assumed by Mr. Cohan himself.

CHICAGO SKA SON OF llEX-Hl K KM)! IX FOLK WEKKS. The closing- days of "r.en-IIur" at the Chicago Auditorium are announced. Klaw & Ki lander's stupendous production of Wallace's mighty Biblical romance is to be withdrawn in four weeks' time. A special matinee is announced for Thanksgiving day in addition to the regular Wednesday and Saturday matinees of that week. The present engagement of "Ben-IIur" Is the most notable in its career. Chicago's largest and most classic amusement temple has never held more cultured and distinguished audiences., It Is estimated that by the time the engagement closes fully 300.000 people will have attended. This Is a marvelous record and indicates that this great emi-religious drama of Palestine, the product of the pen of General Lew Wallace, able statesman, gallant soldier, entertaining writer and courteous American gentleman, will remain u potent factor in the amusement world for years to come. It is advisable for those who intend witnessing this attraction to lose no time In writing Mr. Milward Adams, director of the Chicago Auditorium, for scat reservation. Mr. Adams promises prompt attention to mail orders accompanied by remittance.

complete detail and equipment. With four big successes to their credit and nothing to diminish their reputation for excellent and popular material, Messrs. Pixiy and Lauders have for six years been working on something which should prove entirely new to the stage, as it is founded on conditions and employs atmosphere and environment never before used in the stage world. The first act of the new play is laid In Honolulu and embraces the quaint and rhythmic Hawaiian ways, customs, costumes, native dances and so on. The other two acts are on the island of Inde, situated south of the Philippine group, and bring in many novel and hitherto unknown orientalisms. The principal role, instead of being an oriental potentate, as would be judged from the title, is an American circus sideshow "barker," played by Mr. Frank Moulan, a leading comedian of the best school, and in his support are Maude Lillian 1 Jerri, Pager Midgely, Phoebe Coyne, and any number of excellent musical comedy Interpreters. The production

has been given a most gorgeous and luxuriant investiture, and from every indication the new offering will prove one of the big hits of recent years.

Experts in Session at Washington

Formulating Principles What They Mostly Favor. Washington, Nov. 14. For more

tna five hours the currecy commit

tees of the American Banking asso

ciation and the New York Chamber of

Commerce discussed the "formulation of principles" which are to form the

basis of the legislation for the issues

of emergency currency in times of

financial stringency. These "principles" will be recommendM to congress for enactment into law at the coming session.

The discussion developed a sentiment

in favor of a currency to be issueu on

the general credit of a bank desiring to emit emergency currency during

erlods of financial stress, as is done in

the case of various European countries.

lue alternative of this proposition

that of segregating the assets of the bank as a special security for these issues was voted down. The tax on

Uiese general credit issues, it is pro

posed, shall form ;i guarantee fund to

be placed in the treasury and to be used to meet the liabilities of any bank

which fails.

A thoroughly delightful dramatic novelty Is being offered at the Garrick

theater this week in ,the "Iioad to Yesterday." Its first audiences went to the theater with the vaguest notions of what would be really revealed in this curiously named play, concerning which it had been so mysteriously announced that it dealt with the, spirit of fantasy with the idea of reincarnation of souls. What they have se n is a refreshing, whimsical comedy, half of Which is told in the shape of a unique dream play. A young American girl on her first sight-seeing visit to London and the Old World falls under the superstitious spell of midsummer eve

and, dlzz5' with the exciting peeps which she has had of a romantic past, falls Into a Bleep-like trance in which she is wafted back to the England of Elizabeth and Shakespeare. The odd part of it all is that Fhe not only seems to be herself living a real life among the picturesque figures of that time, but she sees all her modern London relatives and friends moving around her in the strange guise of that bygone age. The metamorphoses. or Changes of conditions are strikingly astonlshing. Gypsy and witch, or wife and tapster, lord of the castle and maid of the inn, soldiers of fortune and all the typical characters of the England of 160: enact a peculiar dream romance in which exciting melodrama, sparkling comedy and fantastic novelty are all co-mingled in as rare a treat as has been enjoyed before the footlights in a long day. It is just Such a play in its whimsical originality as Barrie's "Peter ran," only absolutely novel in Its own kind, and in the fourth and last act the dreaming heroine and all her mystically reincarnated personages come back from yesterday to today again. Xew bewilderments attend the change back to modern scenes and personalities once more, and two love romances one serious and poetic, and the other happy and light-hearted are brought to a pleasant climax in curiously interesting fashion. The play is brimful of picturesque charm and dramatic surprises, with the spirit of comedy and fantasv over all from start to

finish. Above all the piece is capitally enacted. Every role is interpretated by a well-known player. Minnie Durree, that winsome comedienne, conveys the full spirit of the half-mystic dream scenes as the- dreaming heroine and carries the incidental iove romance in her most fascinating manner. Helen Ware makes a dashingly dramatic figure of the gypsy. Black Halena, and Julia Plane gives a cleverly contrasted double portrayal of the superstitious Irish maid servant, Morah. and the old Itch. Mother Gillaw. White Whittlesey and Miriam Nesbitt add a touch of tender romance as the strangely divided lovers. As all the Old personages of the play are seen as two absolutely different characters being utterly different in acts two and three from their modern selves of acts one and four the odd dramatic values of the various roles are easily appreciated. This genuinely novel eciv.edy of fantasy wi!! hold the boards at the Garrick for a limited engagement of two weeks only ere going to Xew York.

CHICAGO OPEHA HOUSE. Crowded houses met the production

of "The Cowboy and the Lady" this week at the Chicago opera house. This

play is the one in which Xat Goodwin

and Maxine Elliott made one of their

greatest successes, and the manner in which it was mounted and acted at the

Chicago playhouse, which has for

many years held the record for magnificent productions, has been thoroughly appreciated by the discriminating theatergoers, who have formed a regular clientele of the dramatic com

pany, ine audience grew in size as

the week grew older, and the expres

slons of pleasure and gratification at

the superb acting have been general.

The work of Miss Florence Reed, the

daughter of Roland Reed, who has

been playing Mrs. Weston in "The

Cowboy and the Lady," has been great

ly liked. Miss Reed is young, ambi

tious ana one ot the most promising

actresses we have seen in a long time.

William Bramwell was a thoroughly satisfactory Teddy North. The cast was happy all through, the members of the company fitting into their parts as though they had been born into

that particular sphere of life.

Next week will see the production of a play which was acted at the same

house nearly twenty years ago by Wil

liam II. Crane. It is that celebrated

satire on Washington life, "The Sena

tor," written by David D. Lloyd. It

tells of the trials, laughable and pa

thetic, of a raw Western senator at the

national capital. The senator was un

trained in the finesse of the American

Paris, but he was possessed of shrewdness, humor and generous impulses,

which pulled him through many other

wise trying situations. the play is a sterling one, funny and stirring as

well, and is one that has made the greatest success for Crane that he has ever enjoyed in his whole career. It will be put on next week with all

the style and ehect which made the

play first so celebrated.

NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

Irishman Didn't Want Whole Town

Torn Up to Find Watch.

Kid Gleason, of the Philadelphia Na

tional league team, was telling his friends a little story on a Hibernian

friend. The kid and his friend ha

attended a boxing bout and when leav ing the building the Irishman dis

covered that his watch was gone. The

sergeant of police promised to "leave

no stone unturned" in the effort to re

cover the timepiece. Next day, in

walking down street with his friend

Gleason pointed to some men who were engaged in some excavating

work. By chance, the sergeant to

whom Gleason and the Irishman had

reported the loss was watching the

men work.

"Great operation, isn't it?" the ball

player asked.

"Yis, it is, indade. That's it all

fer?" asked Pat.

"Why, don't you remember that the

police sergeant said he would leave no stone unturned to get back your

watch? See, there he is now direct

Ing the work."

The kid's friend from the old fod

was atnazed, and, walking up to the

sergeant said: "I thank yez very

much, sirgeant, but if yez 13 going to

tear up the whole town, let the watch

go to the devil. It's not worth the

trouble."

er, but th School Law Invalid, Says Metcalf. San Francisco, Nov. 14. The Call

says that Secretary Metcalf, before

leaving for Washington, confided to a

few intimate friends that the sentiment of the people of San Francisco, if not the whole state, was opposed to

allowing Japanese and Chinese children to mincle freely with Cain-nsian children in the public schools, and that

it was likely that the statute provid

ing that Asiatic children be taught in

separate schools would be strengthened

at the coming session of the legislature .

The secretary said further, according

to The Call, that it was his opinion as a lawyer that the treaty between the United States and Japan guaranteed to the children of Japanese

resident in this country the right to

an education in the publicschools with

out discrimination and on an equal plane with the children of the mo4 favored nations, and that he so would report to President Roosevelt

"You should have sent your trunk on in the train ahead," said Compton. "Just now there is a press of baggage, and you cannot get your trunk out In time to get the other train." "But I must," insisted Daisy, with pretty imperiousness. "If I lose that train the yacht will have left and I shall miss the trip. She will be sent south next month, and I shall not have another chance." "I'll see what I can do," he volunteered. "But I am afraid that it looka very much like a hopeless case." "You can do it," said Daisy confidently as she settled back In her scat witt the air of one who dismisses discussion. Somehow Compton gave one coniidence in his powers of accomplishment. Ever since nhe had been a child she had let him do things for her. He had always seemed a handy man, and precisely because he was so handy he had urged his suit on her in vain. Just now Dick Tomlin was the favored suitor. Dick was to meet her

: at the station and take her over to the I other railroad, where she would con- ; nect with the train for the shore where

I her brother was waiting for her on his I yacht In spite of her liking for Tomlin she : was glad when Frank Compton's form loomed up in the aisle of the car. Dick was not a good manager. With Frank along she knew that her trunk would i be assured. I Compton sank into the seat beside

her. "I suppose there is some favored swain waiting for you," he suggested. Daisy blushed. "Dick Tomlin said he might be there," she admitted. Compton smiled. "If he said that he might be there, bo assured that he will," he said gravely. "Will he be the one, Daisy?" "You are always thinking about my getting married," she pouted. "I don't

tend to him. Then the two checks were verified, the tag was taken from his arm, and he was permitted to go. Three weeks later he ran into Daisy on the street. "How is my trunk?" she asked, with a smile. "You got It, I hope?" he said quickly. "I mean my substitute trunk," she explained. "The Potters told me about it It seems that they saw you make the exchange." "It was the only way to avoid a delay," he said. "That accounts for my not coming to say goodby." "You are a dear old fellow," she said softly. "When I heard the story from the Potters and remembered how Dick complained because you were on the, train with me I saw the difference between you two and" "And? he questioned. "The contrast was in your favor," she said hurriedly. "Frank, if you want to ask a certain question again I think that perhaps" "Here is the jeweler's," suggested Compton. "It's get the ring." "I want one with a seal like a trunk; check," she said as she followed. "I planned it all out on the boat." "Bless the trunk check," said Compton fervently.

Treatment of Modern Bullet Wounds

A most interesting and far-reaching

experiment on a large scale was per formed at the battlefield of Mukden

says the Post-Graduate. Several saai

tary ofilcers with good surgical train

ing being present, out of 100 soldiers wounded in the abdomen, 50 were

operated upon by laparotomy, the 50

others left alone, the only treatment consisting in absolute rest and in keeping the external wound opening clean. Of the 50 soldiers operated upon 40 died, of the non-operated 40 survived. This striking result indicated the manner of treatment of abdominal wounds throughout the whole war. Laparotomy on or in the rear of the battlefield was afterward hardly ever performed, but strict care was taken that all soldiers wounded in the abdomen had absolute rest for the first threa days.

Choice of Pessimism. The famous novelist was being lionized at a picnic. "But hew," said a young girl, "do you ever get yourself in the mood to write such a bitterly pessimistic book?" "1 use," the novelist answered, "a fountain pen." It was then for the first time that she noticed the large black stain on his left breast, around the pocket.

She gave him a grateful look as she handed him the square of brass. "You're an awful comfort, Frank," she said softly. "I'm sorry I can't can't" "It's all right," he said, as he gath

ered up ker belongings. "Tell Tomlin to get a hansom and send the driver after me. I'll hare the trunk for him." He helped her down the steps and, after seeing that Tomlin was there, went in search of the trunk. Truck after truck was run down the platform, and at last he recognized the little steamer trunk with its big red D. Quickly he explained to the helper the necessity for having the trunk immediately, but the baggage handlers were tired and cross and not disposed to extend any favors. "Can't do it," he said sharply. "The trunks have got to be checked up before they can go out That will take half an hour." Compton passed the man a bill. "Suppose you transfer the check to me," he said. "You can check m? up instead of the trunk. Then if there's any trouble you have me to answer for It" For a moment the man stood still as
