CAPACITY FOR

So Say the Wiseacres Is thei Definition of Genius Confusing the Means with the End Christie McDonald, Not Her Understudy, to Be Here.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Since many inquiries have been received by the writer as to two of the coming theatrical attractions, "The Spring Maid," on Saturday evening, and "the play "Ready Money," on Monday evening, the 25th, the following statement is made: Christie McDonald will appear in Richmond with "The Spring Maid." On account of the demand there will be a matinee although it was not first intended to give one. This is the original "Spring Maidcompany with its original creator of the leading role. "Ready Money" is a play which is, at the present time, having prolonged and successful runs in both New York and London. So far as the writer knows the company which comes to Richmond is the only company in this country outside New York. ' It comes to Richmond from Cincinnati and is the same company which appeared at the Murat in Indianapolis a week or so ago. Here are two of the leading theatrical attractions of the hour. They come to Richmond. And close together. But this is inevitable In bookings made for the smaller cities. And the fact that there has hitherto been a paucity of plays should insure this a large patronage. This is no brief for the management of the theatre. But a statement for the benefit of that portion of the local public which does not keep entirely informed as to the status of the local theatrical season or that outside of Richmond for that matter. The present theatrical season is a bad one outside the metropolises. Company after company has disbanded and returned to New York, Chicago or other points of foray. In consequence many bookings that I were made have been canceled and ithe smaller centres suffer. I , There Is nothing more uncertain j jjthan the theatrical profession. Notnlng more elusive or fickle than the public favor. The applauded of today is the ob curlty of tomorrow. In no profession or in no art has ; personality so direct an effect or is so Intimately concerned. His Landlady's Advice Probably Saved His Life. I feel that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root saved my life. I inherited weak kidneys. The discharge was so frequent and painful that. I would have to stay In bed to obtain temporary relief. I consulted good physicians but the results were disappointing. My landlady advised me to try Swamp-Root as the last resort; which I did and I wa"s quickly relieved. I continued taking Swamp-Root and my weight has increased fifty pounds. My health is of the best and I have .told many others about Dr. Kilmer's ! Swamp-Root and have done a lot of good In this way. Your wonderful medicine is of great value to mankind. Yours very truly, J. H. BRUXBY. 835 Main St. Pawtucket, R. I. The above statement made before . me I declare to be truthful in every detail. THOMAS MARSDEN, Notary Public.

HARD WORK

Or does age play so conspicuous a role. ' Maxine Elliott says that beauty is a handicap to an actress. That people will not give her credit for what talents she possesses. That she cannot exploit the latter because she is eriven no channel, no medium, through which to do so. That she is posed. Not cast. And that sometimes ends a carrer

in bitterness and chagrin. ; " "About a year and a half ago I notPerhapB this may be so. In fact the iced that my health was rapidly failhistory of the stage proves it to be. ing, until at the end of six months my Although there are exceptions. weight had fallen to 129 pounds. I Eleanora Duse, in instance, was, or was troubled with night sweats, a

is, a woman of little beauty, so-called, That is, of perfection of feature and charm of color and contour. But she has a greater asset. The asset of supreme genius. For no actress of her day, or any other, has ranked the Italian in the expression of her art. Duse has the strange fascination of genius. i It cannot be eexplained But wherever genius is found this exists. No one discounts the personal charm of Riley, in instance. It is the charm of genius, for Riley is an ugly man. So far as the mere facial conformation is concerned. But none who have known or met him can resist his charm. It is so with others gifted of the gods. Madame de Stael was a woman of little physical attraction and yet she swayed men and concentrated interest. George Elliott was undeniably ugly, And yet she held the attention and compelled the devotion of a great man. George Sand the famous French novelist was a woman of few physical perfections. Still her love affairs with the great Chopin and Alfred de Musset, for two were famous, or notorious, as you will. You can't explain genius. Sundry of the elect have sought to do so. By saying that genius is the capacity for hand work and other gibberings of like nature. Genius is not the capacity for hard work. Genius is the finest essence of life. But it has to work out. j And the working-out is a more or iless a laborous process. Therefore the ! uncou and the crass say that that is genius itself. No great work of art was ever pro-: duced easily. Tipped off the beam, j Tossed off in an odd moment. This is a popular fallacy. But the contrary is true It is hard work yes. But tt's something that is attendant upon the possession. j Lots of people work hard who aren't geniuses. And all geniuses don't work hard. Because some of them are mute, Inglorious Miltons. Unable to evolve the light. Because of temperamental handicap, or inherited curse, or fated circumstance. These are they who are the woestricken of the world. Obsessed with the knowledge of their possession, unable to concentrate it to a point, with the desire but without the will they helplessly beat their wings against the bars of Fate. Such are to be but regarded with profound commisseration. They are at once the happiest and the most wretched of mortals. For the possession of genius confers ardours and despairs of which the rank and file have no conception. Genius is the medium of humanity. It is humanity's mouthpiece. And it works and ferments and pulses and beats until at last it foams over the sparkling life fluid. There are some mute geniuses in the dramatic profession. And some not Price's are still serving seven flav- ! ors of their delicious cream and ices.

Granted Insurance After Lung Trouble There are so many cases- of Consumption reported where the details show the disease started with a cold or a cough, that . it is really surprising that some people are not more anxious to immediately stop these apparently minor troubles. Our advice is "stop the cough or cold, if possible, without delay." Otherwise more serious troubles are likely to follow. If the medicines you are now taking do not bring

relief, try Eckman's Alterative as this .maa did: 237 Dean St., Brookly, N. Y.

HYDE TRIAL STIRS NEW YORK INTEREST

City Official Under Indict-; ment for Accepting Bribe from a Bank. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 22. After a delay of many months, Charles Hiram Hyde, former City Chamberlain, is 'to be called to the bar to answer for the Part he is alleged to have played In the great scandal involving the heads of the Carnegie Trust company, the Joseph G. Robin banking enterprises and the New York political machine. ; Hyde is under an indictment charging that he accepted a bribe and forced Joseph G. Robin, formerly head of the Northern Bank, to aid Joseph B. Reichn&ann, president of the Carnegie Trust company, and Yimam J. Cummins, executive chairman of the same bank, by making them a loan of $100,000 when KoLin had stated that to do so meant ruin to his bank. The work of selecting a jury has commenced in the criminal branch of the Supreme court and it is expected to have everything in readiness to begin the Hyde trial before Justice Goff the first .of the iiie rormer city unamDeriain was indicted chiefly on the testimony of Robin. According to Robin, Hyde told him that if he would come through with a loan to the then tottering CarntniG Trust company, he, Hyde, would see that the municipal deposits were increased in Robin's Northern Bank. If Robin had refused, according to his story, he was threatened with having the city money then in his bank withdrawn. The bank was in no condition to stand such withdrawals, and he had to accede to Hyde's denianas, Robin avers. iiyuo s affiliations with Mayor Gaynor, whose administration of the city's a uairs is very unpopular in some quarters, has brought forth charges of a political plot that have added to the interest with which his trial has long been anticipated. The former City Chamberlain has been a law partner o Mayor Gaynor. At the time of the la. Lin bank failures and the crash of the Carmie Trust company he mysteriously uisappeared, remaining away until the hue and cry over the d'stributi0n of the city's funds in the defunct institution was spread from New York . , .

THREE SMALL BLAZES

Fire Department Called Out; Three Times Last Night. The fire department was called out three times last night to extinguish small blazes. In the cellar of George Seidel's residence ash boxes caught fire. The damage was slight. A roof fire at 16 Railroad street was ; the cause of another run by the de- j partment. A defective flue was responsible for the blaze. A passerby turned in an alarm from box No. 56 in Fairview last night, believing that the Fairview school was threatened by fire. Rubbish was being burned in the rear of the school and the blaze was believed to be beyond control by the person who turned in the alarm.
