EASY VICTORY FOR FAST QUAKER TEAM Earlham Smothered Butler Eleven by the Score of 39-6, Saturday.

Unable to stand the effective teamwork of the Quakers, the Butler team went down In defeat at the tune of 39 to 6 on Iteid Field yesterday after noon. Notwithstanding the "bear stories" that Butler was in a weak condition they came with their best line-up and were fully confident of a victory by a; email score. Within five minutes after the first whistle sounded it was evident that thoy were no match for the Quakers. Thomas, captain of the visiting team kicked off. Earlham carried the ball to Butler's thirty yard line where they tried a place kick, whirl) failed and the ball went to the visitors. Thomas attempted a punt. Reagan captured the pig-skin and carried it through the entire line for a touchdown. Reagan also kicked goal. Later In the quarter Stanley broke up a punt on Butler's five yard line and added a safety i.o thu Quakers' score. Brownell alHo got a safety in the second period and Stanley a touch-down. Butler, the midget quarter for the visitors was put in the game in the third quarter. Measuring no more than four feet-six he proved to be a Jonah for the hpme players who found it impossible to hold on to his lithe form. The Quakers went up in a balloon and Thomas carried the ball across the Karlham line for the only touch-down the visitors made. Thomas kicked na Furoas the "poney" end for Earlham peemed to have a supply of horse shoes fw his pockets for everything In the lrter part of the third quarter seemen to go his way. He intercepted a forward pass and recovered a punt, making a touch-down on each. In the last period Reagan made two touch-downs. The first on a sensationel end run and the other was on a line plunge through he center. Each of he locals played a fast game but Reagan was undoubtedly the sensation of the game. Thomas was the better half of the visiting team but was not In his best form. The line-up of the teams follows: Earlham 39 Butler 6.

Topping the bill are the Three Richardsons in their comedy sketch, "The New Pupil," is out of the ordinary run of such skits. One laugh crowds out another until the performers let up in order to give their audience a chance to breathe. Miss Richardson's rendition of the song, "After the Ball," in the character of the awkward hair lipped girl is the greatest scream. The Flying Caros, is another feature of the bill, this act being one of the most sensational and daring acts seen here for some time, and is worthy of being featured on any bill. Performing all of the ordinary stunts of ring artists and many new and original ones of their own, they feature the complete sommersault to catch from hand to hand. One of tne real treats of the show are the selections rendered by E. J. Appleby upon the banjo. Appleby plays anything upon the banjo from operatic selections to the old negro melodies and each with the utmost skill and fine touch. Leon and Bertie Allen will be seen In their own original musical comedy Bkit, entitled "Detained at the Office." The skit is full of comedy and catchy songs, both Miss Leon and Mr. Allen being at their best in their particular part.

A.," the coming attraction at the Gennett theater Monday night, November 13th, Is a joyous creation, and something new in stageland. The girl goes tantalizingly light-hearted into delicious entanglements that keep the action of the play splendidly melo-dramatic. The clean fine atmosphere of the production is most wholesome and welcome. The heart interest is deep and natural. There is a triangle love affair and the story of the play contains several social astonishments, that are delightfully artful yet genuine episodes of real life. Great attention has been given to make the stage setting as elaborate and splendid as possible. The musical settings for the play are original and from the pen of a prominent composer, but the numbers are the late popular successes of the day. Th Squaw Man. In presenting Mr. Carl Cook in the now celebrated play, "The Squaw Man" Messrs. Gilman & Company feel they have effected a combination of play and star that can not Te surpassed, for Mr. Cook has achieved so enviable a reputation in Western roles that he may be said to stand alone in the delineation of these types. It is universally agreed that in the title role of this play he has found the most emphatic suitable medium for his remarkable talent since his appearance upon the stage. The accuracy of his portrayal together with the natural ability he brings to his work have united in producing an entirely new conception of pare American drama. While the unanimous approval of the press and the unstinted appreciation of the public has resulted in a eulogy unique in dramatic annals. The play itself has earned a tribute for clean, wholesome, thorough-going Americanism that comes close to placing upon it the stamp of the greatest play of Western America, that has yet

been given to the American public. So, great has been its appeal that companies are now presenting the play In three countries outside of the United States, England, Germany and Australia. In each of these countries it has won for itself the acme of public favor. There is a spirit that pervades the play a spirit of heorism, of selfsacrifice and of great love. There is a virility, a humor and a whimsicality that makes for this drama a very fountain of laughter and a well of tears, and above all there is a strong thread of high purpose that knits the whole together in an indeescrl'oably attractive manner. It is a big play that abounds in laughter and pathos, and one that bids fair to rival other famous American dramas for many years to come.

FORBES-ROBERTSON

Second Season of "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" Successful Parents Should Be Careful of Their English, Says Great Actor.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "Ugliness is bui s Kin-deep. The business of art is to reveal the beauty underlying all things." So said Mr. Johnstone Forbes-Rob ertson in his role of "The Stranger" in "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" which is repeating, in its second season, the success of the first. Strange are the anachronisms of the theatric art when a symbolic play written, by the bye, by one of the best known contemporaneous English humorists which has a more distinct moral than the majority of all the sermons ever hammered out from the pulpit, is one of the most brilliant successes from the box-office standpoint, of several years past. This, too, in the face of the statement, seen oftener than not, that the taste of the public runs to light-weight "attraction?," to unspeakable vacuities, to messes of banality and nothingness, to trivialities, to suggestiveness, and to artistic anarchy. It may be, indeed, that it is Mr. Forbes-Robertson's superlative art that "takes" the moralizing in "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" over the footlights, and then it may be that the public is a good deal like a child, easily swayed by an appeal to its higher nature made in the guise of a story, but whatever the reason for the hold that this play has upon the affections of theater-goers, the fact remains that it has had a distinct and peculiar impress and has again illustrated the theory that in pointing a moral there is no other medium comparable to the theater. And this is possibly because the latter does not make a direct assault as does the pulpit upon the individual conscience, but through symbols and figures, woven into the fabric of fancy, persuades through the imagination rather than insists by an appeal to the reason. To emphasize this and yet preserve the illusion of the supposed raison d' etre of the theatric art, namely, to first entertain, and administer instruction in linguistic capsules, if the pur pose of the play be didactic, takes much adroitness, both on the part of the playwright and the actor. No one likes being preached at. Nothing is so distasteful to the in dividual either personally or in the mass as to find out that it has been the victim of the moralist who has been trying to teach a lesson under the pretense of an assumption of interest which the former finds to have been only temporary. No man is ever so won. The regeneration of society will be accomplished through the seeming con tradiction of ingenius comparisons rather than through bald and direct statement. The church has not, so far, been successful with the latter method. The stage might be with the former. So far as Mr. Forbes-Robertson is concerned, he is, to take advantage of some of the expressions in his play, more the artist than the philanthropist. It is not to be supposed that he took on this drama because it was his desire, other than indirectly, to "elevate the stage" or that he would have continued with it had it not been a box-office success, but the fact that the material consideration was so fortunate as to enable the actor to ex ploit the spiritual aspect of the drama, is a consummation as gratifying as it is devoutly to be desired should universally obtain. "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" is familiar to many theater-goers in this city who have witnessed its presentation otherwhere, but for those who have not, it might be briefly summarized as the spiritual regeneration of a household in an unfashionable quarter of London made up of lodgers, the landlady and her servant, and that this is accomplished through Automobile Repair Work Our Specialty Expert Mechanics to Do Your Work.

IN SYMBOLIC PLAY

the presence of a man who, called "The Stranger," takes the back room on the third floor. "The Stranger" symbolizes "the better self" or that divinity which is found in embyro in the deepest dregs of humanity. Dramatically, or theatrically, rather, it can be easily understood that only the most exquisite art could hold the attention of the average auditor, or impress with its sincerity. Forbes-Robertson, in this symbolic play reaches the apogee of dramatic art. It is doubtful if any other actor on the English speaking stage, could convince in this role. And this not alone for those unrivaled accessories with which he is gifted a marvelous voice, full of caressing cadences, of tonal richness and variety: wonderful eyes, and an unexcelled grace of movement but for a dramatic intuition as subtle as it is seemingly occult. There is a certain tense and absorbing moment when the actor seemingly warms his hands before a fire which has no visible presence standing lightly rubbing his hands together over the footlights just behind which there is a suggestion of a fender which has no equal in theatrical annals in giving an impression of actuality. This is the art of acting raised to its highest power. Forbes-Robertson is admittedly the greatest living "Hamlet." Even that rabid and exquisitely amusing iconoclast, Mr. George Barnard Shaw, says in summing up Mr. Forbes-Robertson's excellencies in presentation "See all that; and you have seen a true classical Hamlet. Nothing half so charming has been seen by this generation. It will bear seeing again and again." "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," illustrates that value of elimination to which this column referred the other day as one of the mainsprings of the effectiveness of art. Forbes-Robertson eliminates and prunes and casts out relentlessly. He is as inexorable as he is heroic for here is a role that calls for accentuations, for garish coloring, for melodramatic utterances and posings as naturally as day calls for contrasts from the night. This is the reason that no one but a dramatic genius could take the role in perfection, could make it otherwise than a sort of lithographic caricature. And because of this we make a profound salaam to Mr. Johnstone ForbesRovertson, as a wonderful, a superlative and a very great artist. Friday was a great day in Indiana for the English language.

lars of the correct, erudite and discriminating use of his language. Mr. Forbes-Robertson's address, which was reproduced in full in the state papers, should have been heard by every resident of the state, for it was a contribution to the accumulating commentary on the sins committed by the Anglo-Saxons toward their "beautiful language," as it was denominated by this celebrated actor, and an admirable example, in itself, of the pliancy and plasticity of the medium of words when manipulated by an artist in their use. Briefly the celebrated speaker said that the English speaking peoples

were the most reprehensible of the races in their disregard of their own means of expression: that while the English lent itself admirably to versatility it was more restricted than other languages less capable of color and expansion; that English speaking peoples, more than any other, disregarded enunciation, articulation and pronunciation; that different sections and difterent countries, having this community of language, by their slovenly imi. otten, insular use were sometimes almost unintelligible to each other .md this obtained not only among the unlettered but among the educated. Mr. Forbes-Robertson decried those affectations to which certain of the ultra-fastidious were given, saying that no pronunciation should be adopted save that current among the majority of the educated; pointed out the superiorities of the Irisn and Scotch in linguistic consideration; stated that, perhaps, English was used in its most elegant sense by University professors in this country; but that Americans, primarily on account of climatic conditions, were given to a stridency of speech inimical to the happiest effects. That Americans have retained, however, some beautiful words entirely cleted by the residents of England, was the statement of the speaker, instancing "wilted," and "sick." Mr. Forbes-Robertson emphasized the fact that the parents of children were largely to blame for the linguistic crimes of their offspring, and referred to this phase of the difficulties of the teaching profession, and protested againSt the carelessness of parents in -often nullifying the effect of professional instruction. Mr. Forbes-Robertson may or may not have indicated his social tendencies when he referred to his linguistic confreres as his "brothers and sisters." However that may be, his address was a delightful one in both manner and substance, and his audience gave it an enthusiastically appreciative reception.

PLAYED WITH GUN; ONE GIRL KILLED

(Xatlonal News Association) WAUKEGAX, I1L, Nov. 11. Mary Seihgiezes, aged 4 years, is dead at her home in North Chicago, and Lizzie, her sister, aged 5 years, has a badly wounded hand as a result of playing with a loaded shot gun. FRlhU ruiMiuES. Sol I on th Streets From Pushcarts In Parts of France. The street vending of pommes frites, or French fried potatoes, is peculiar to the northern part of France. Pommes frites take the place of peanuts and popcorn and are sold in much the same fashion. Not only is this trade carried on in some instances as a regularly established business, but workmen wishing to increase their earnings come out on the streets in the evening and sell these fried potatoes from pushcarts. Their profits often exceed their day's wages. The pushcarts are of the ordinary type, but covered. A coke brazier Is Insert ed through the flooring, orer which is placed the large iron caldron holding the fat obtained from beef uet. Raw potatoes, after being pared, e pressed through n special cutting chine, coming out in long, narrow, ur sided pieces. These are Immedltely put into the boiling tsft and in everal minutes are thoroughly cooked. They are then, salted and sold in small paper cornucopias holding 1 or 2 cents' worth. Pommes frites have the advantage that they supply a satisfying and nutritive meal for a few cents. This Is especially appreciated by the mill employees during the noon hour, as they are thus enabled to hare something hot with their otherwise cold lunches. Rather than go to the trouble of preparing the dish, to say nothing of filling the house with the odor of boiling fat, many families prefer to purchase the freshly cooked tubers from the nearest vender. These fried potatoes are not sold merely at mealtimes, but during the day. and are eaten like popcorn. Consular Reports. Palladium Want Ads Pay.
