As a preventive' for railroad accidents, comprete publicity 1 3 suggested by Julius Kruttschnitt, director cf maintenance and oneration of the Harriman lines, and vice president of the Southern Pacific. In an interview, he said: "The persons responsible for accidents, whether officers or laborers, should be known that they might feel the weight of Popular displeasure. We must bring about a closer observance of the rules governing the operation of railroads, and a greater respect for danger signals than we get from our employes. This can be done only by the publicity of accidents, and they will not be stopped until this is one."

Virginia Harned Gennett. One of the most praised Camilles of
the present generation, that of Virginia Harned, will be seen for the first
time by playgoers at the Gennett next
Thursday. This distinguished act
ress, has, indeed, been declared to be
the greatest of all modern American Camilles, since the days of Clara Morris and Fanny Davenport. It is her
ft 1 favorite footlight character and to its
e j portrayal sne nas aevotea me aeep-
elaboration in detail and finish. It
! was six years ago, while playing Ophe.-
, lia to her husband,' E. H. Sothem's
Hamlet, that she first electrified playgoers by her strikingly original and
j heart-touching impersonation of this j
mucn-sinning yet mucn-suuering laay
of the Camellias, and two years ago in
g i particular she made a f re conquest
of New York ana the largest cities or
the Union by the intensified appeal of her depiction of this famous heroine of the Younger - Alexandre Dumas romantic masterpiece. The part, which has been the greatest emotional achievement .of this brilliant and versatile actress from its first as-
U ! sumption by her, has constantly grown
tpected that the playgoers of this city will now behold this phenomenally popular stage classic of the past half century presented in a style which can
t!i . be ranked with that of Mme. Bern-
hard's. It is said that Miss Harned invests the familiar character of Ca-
M. mille with a fresh interest, playing it
from the moaern viewpoint ana Dring-
K . ing out the true spiritual value of her K soul redemption through one great 1 ' ...... 1 -. ,1 i . 1 1 n--w k n poll n(ri
pUIC IUVB itUU CLIil trcXLTji acu oavi i- . fice. This poetic idealism of her ' conception finds its climax of symbolism in Camille's final death at the foot of the Cross, a strikingly novel feature of Miss Harned's version of the play. She is supported for this special tour by a company particularly selected for the single presentation of this one play, and it is claimed that no performance of the piece has ever before ; been given with such a specially fitted ! ensemble of expert players. The im-
; portant role of Armand Duval, the arj dent young lover of Camille, will be 'enacted by that forceful and sterling 'actor, William Courtenay, whom Alan
, Dale, the well-known critic, has declar
ed to be "the greatest of all liv;nsr Armands." Specially cast, richTv gowned, interpreted in the spirit of
'modern sympathy and realism, it is
said that this presentation of this most popular play of the past half-
century, will be found to be its ideal production, and unusual interest will certainly attend upon thhfefrtrccniing engagement of Miss Harned at the , Gennett.
Vaudeville at the Phillips. As the week is rapidly drawing to a
! close, lovers of vaudeville who have not seen this week's bill at the New i Phillips should take opportunity to do ; so. There will be - found much to t amuse and entertain. " Today the usu- ' al matinee for children will be given. ' and a double performance at night. A
splendid bill has been secured for next week. . . Blanche Walsh Gennett. Ia its review of "The Straight
Road" which Blanche Walsh is to
present at the Gennett next Monday
night, the New York World said
"The Straight Road" is straight goods.
It is much more than a mere thriller,
It touches the heart, instead of the
spine. It is a live throbbing thing.
It is paved with the right sort of
stuff and it is interesting every step of the way: furthermore, Miss
