Splitting FNW UM St In Texas the question again has been as to whether that State shall or de divided Into two or more Com- monwealths Senator Hudspeth repre- senting the extensive El Paso district has recently forwarded a number of ar guiftonts in favor of division from which the country at large may conclude that tho mere msntlon of the subject of divi- sion does not now as formerly create Immediate Illfeeling Senator Hudspeths arguments are ao plausible to those who do not take the pride of the jiatjveborn Texans in the mere matter of magnitude that it seems quito probable that the Lone Star State will yet come In for the of divi- sion as did the original only a comparatively short while ago But more Important still Is the fact that Western Texas bebigs to the West In America while Southern Texas at least Southeastern to the South In America It remains only with tha people of the State in question whether the State shall be divided or not as there would be slight chance of objection from other quarters And In view of the marked gulf between sections of the State the day of division would seem sooner or later to be In evitable Au Awful Threat Mother to Susie who had kilt

appearance as a star In Washington next week has strong views on an Issue whjoh has re- cently been much discussed the child on the stage As Is pretty generally known to the playgolag world Allan Jimmy Valen tine Mr Warners play by Paul Arm strong has two of its boat parts in the hands of children Donald Galleher and Ama Sodley Following at the Belasco nut week so close on the appearance of Francis Wilson at the National Theater this week In a play wherein a very young child has a very Important part the succession naturally calls attention- to the subject again Mr Wilson has ex- pressed himself emphatically on the child actor Mr Warner In discussing this matter called attention to an Interesting mati- nee at Wallacks Theater in New York last performance of Alias Jimmy Valentine In which all the parts were taken by kiddies A sevenyearold tot played Rose Lane tho heroine opposite a strapping four teenyearpld leading man A fiveyear old boy toddled on as bellboy in the hotel scene and lads of ten and twelve took other parts The oldest actor in the cast had just passed his fifteenth year It was a great Illustration of the intelli- gence of children The performance was a huge success netting nearly 4900 for the worthy cause for which it was given and of which Mrs James Speyer wife of the other New York Uoclety loaders were patronesses It was the first time a drama bad been given in this fashion and the audIence rocked In mirthful of the novelty and the serl oneness with wlilelr the children played their parts More than that it called the attention gf many influential people- to the crusade being waged and will probably work lasting benefit for the children of the stage The two kiddies who took the leading roles In this re- markable performance were Alma Sedley and Donald Galloher in the cast of Alias Jimmy Valentine Mr Warner in commenting on this performance said I stagemanaged this affair and Jt was a real delight to watch the kiddies at work They were so keenly alive so Intelligent so Imagina tive You know children are naturally little actors any way watch them at their play and youll see It Moreover there Is another side to this question When Alias Jimmy Valentine was given In Chicago the performance was greatly marred by the fact that tho laws of Illinois would not allow children- to appear and dummies had to be sub- stituted That the play

In human Interest stories In real life Shall all this art be killed Just for the sake of a prejudice I ask you do not tho children of the stage in the parts they play in the case of Alias jimmy Valentine for example have an actual and a good Influence on theater goers Is not the appeal of these tender lives always worth while And are not these little actors always used for good purposes In developing dramatic themes As to the charge that It works In jury to the children themselves I dismiss that with a simple statement It Is not true in any general sense of the word Stage children are

PICTURE One Invention paves the way to an other It is usually the case as Illus- trated by the experience of Edison who starring with the telephone extended tho principle to the grapbophone and later progressed to the motion picture And too Just as Edison has be n seeking to perfect a storage battery which will run an automobile 200 miles on one charge so there has been a ceaseless effort to perfect the motion picture so that there shall bo no tremor or flickering and no necessity to darken the theaters lights during their operation These two points are those around which have clustered most of the objections against the mo tion pictures There are some people who do not like motion pictures at all others that avoid them because of the flickering or tremor hitherto unavoidable and oth- ers yet who object to tho darkening of the theater The efforts of most of the inventors who have been working at the problem have been chiefly directed to these points and now comes the intelli- gence that by the attachment of a won derful device the films can be run oil in a fully lighted theater and without any perceptible vibration whatever Chases has secured the Washington rights to the use of these daylight pictures as they are termed and will Introduce them m Its bills at the earliest opportunity- It Is said that compared with the present darkening of Chases and inseparably by some vibration the day light pictures are most appropriately named as the Invention applied to them ia reported to permit the films to be shown In the brightly lighted theater even more clearly and distinctly than by the almost obsolete method Chases was one of the first theaters In the country to recognize the propriety of the addition of motion pictures in a theaters bill and also to appreciate the vast educational and amusement features contributed It has always made them a delightful com- ponent of its weekly programmes be stowing as much care upon their selec tion as upon the other acts In the bills Marie Cahill In the light of my experience de- clares Marie Cahlll every one trying to be a comedienne has my sympathy Go on the stage feeling like a tragedienne or as serious

that makes them laugh Miss Cahlll It js what they think you are thinking about We are funniest when we least ex- pect it and that makes comedy serious to us In fact it almost makes comedy tragedy and tragedy comedy I find real life full of unconscious comedians And I got fully as many laughs out of life a my audiences apparently do out of me Humanity loves to laugh at misfor- tune for some curious reason and that I suppose Is one reason why my role of Judy In Judy Forgot especially appeals Judy you know accidentally loses her memory And what my audiences think I am trying to think with a missing memory is some tribute to my songand dance artists contention The Convent Girl The next production to be made by A H Woods manager of The Fasci- nating Widow will be a new sort of show a

SplittingFNW UM St

In Texas the question again has beenas to whether that State shall or

de divided Into two or more Com-monwealths Senator Hudspeth repre-senting the extensive El Paso districthas recently forwarded a number of arguiftonts in favor of division from whichthe country at large may conclude thattho mere msntlon of the subject of divi-sion does not now as formerly createImmediate Illfeeling

Senator Hudspeths arguments are aoplausible to those who do not take thepride of the jiatjveborn Texans in themere matter of magnitude that it seemsquito probable that the Lone Star Statewill yet come In for the of divi-sion as did the original only acomparatively short while ago

But more Important still Is the fact thatWestern Texas bebigs to the West InAmerica while Southern Texas at leastSoutheastern to the SouthIn America

It remains only with tha people of theState in question whether the State shallbe divided or not as there would be slightchance of objection from other quarters

And In view of the marked gulf betweensections of the State the day of divisionwould seem sooner or later to be Inevitable

THE CHILD ACTORS

Henry B Warner the young Englishactor who makes his first appearance asa star In Washington next week hasstrong views on an Issue whjoh has re-

cently been much discussed the child onthe stage

As Is pretty generally known to theplaygolag world Allan Jimmy Valentine Mr Warners play by Paul Armstrong has two of its boat parts in thehands of children Donald Galleher andAma Sodley Following at the Belasconut week so close on the appearance ofFrancis Wilson at the National Theaterthis week In a play wherein a veryyoung child has a very Important partthe succession naturally calls attention-to the subject again Mr Wilson has ex-

pressed himself emphatically on the childactor

Mr Warner In discussing this mattercalled attention to an Interesting mati-nee at Wallacks Theater in New Yorklast performance of AliasJimmy Valentine In which all the partswere taken by kiddies

A sevenyearold tot played Rose Lanetho heroine opposite a strapping fourteenyearpld leading man A fiveyearold boy toddled on as bellboy in thehotel scene and lads of ten and twelvetook other parts The oldest actor in thecast had just passed his fifteenth yearIt was a great Illustration of the intelli-gence of children

The performance was a huge successnetting nearly 4900 for the worthycause for which it was given and ofwhich Mrs James Speyer wife of the

other New York Uoclety loaders werepatronesses It was the first time adrama bad been given in this fashionand the audIence rocked In mirthful

of the novelty and the serloneness with wlilelr the children playedtheir parts More than that it calledthe attention gf many influential people-to the crusade being waged and willprobably work lasting benefit for thechildren of the stage The two kiddieswho took the leading roles In this re-

markable performance were Alma Sedleyand Donald Galloher in the cast of AliasJimmy Valentine

Mr Warner in commenting on thisperformance said I stagemanagedthis affair and Jt was a real delight towatch the kiddies at work They were sokeenly alive so Intelligent so Imaginative You know children are naturallylittle actors any way watch them attheir play and youll see It

Moreover there Is another side to thisquestion When Alias Jimmy Valentinewas given In Chicago the performancewas greatly marred by the fact that tholaws of Illinois would not allow children-to appear and dummies had to be sub-stituted That the play icceeded Inspite of this handicap Is merely evidenceof Its real strength But Alias JimmyValentine Is only one of many playswhere children are essential to the aevclopment of the as theyoften are In human Interest stories Inreal life Shall all this art be killed Justfor the sake of a prejudice I ask youdo not tho children of the stage in theparts they play in the case of Aliasjimmy Valentine for example have anactual and a good Influence on theatergoers Is not the appeal of these tenderlives always worth while And are notthese little actors always used for goodpurposes In developing dramatic themes

As to the charge that It works Injury to the children themselves I dismissthat with a simple statement It Is nottrue in any general sense of the wordStage children are well cared for andthpy are carefully educated Donald Galleher as an example is a bright attrac-tive little chap Intellectually In advance-of most boys of his age and possessingreal wit and little Alma Sedley Is asweet winsome girl who is acquiring ahthe graces and all the education properfor a little girl of her age

DAYLIGHT PICTURE

One Invention paves the way to another It is usually the case as Illus-trated by the experience of Edison whostarring with the telephone extended thoprinciple to the grapbophone and laterprogressed to the motion picture Andtoo Just as Edison has be n seeking toperfect a storage battery which will runan automobile 200 miles on one chargeso there has been a ceaseless effort toperfect the motion picture so that thereshall bo no tremor or flickering and nonecessity to darken the theaters lightsduring their operation These two pointsare those around which have clusteredmost of the objections against the motion pictures There are some people whodo not like motion pictures at all othersthat avoid them because of the flickeringor tremor hitherto unavoidable and oth-ers yet who object to tho darkening ofthe theater The efforts of most of theinventors who have been working at theproblem have been chiefly directed tothese points and now comes the intelli-gence that by the attachment of a wonderful device the films can be run oil ina fully lighted theater and without anyperceptible vibration whatever Chaseshas secured the Washington rights tothe use of these daylight pictures asthey are termed and will Introduce themm Its bills at the earliest opportunity-It Is said that compared with the present

darkening of Chases and inseparablyby some vibration the day

light pictures are most appropriatelynamed as the Invention applied to themia reported to permit the films to beshown In the brightly lighted theatereven more clearly and distinctly than bythe almost obsolete method Chases wasone of the first theaters In the country torecognize the propriety of the addition ofmotion pictures in a theaters bill andalso to appreciate the vast educationaland amusement features contributed Ithas always made them a delightful com-ponent of its weekly programmes bestowing as much care upon their selection as upon the other acts In the bills

Marie CahillIn the light of my experience de-

clares Marie Cahlll every one trying tobe a comedienne has my sympathy Goon the stage feeling like a tragedienneor as serious as Mrs O H P Belmonton the lecture platform ants you will besure to ba laughed at Comedy la astudy believe me I shall never forgetwhat an old songanddanco artist oncetold me

It isnt what you say that makesthem laugh Miss Cahlll It js what theythink you are thinking about

We are funniest when we least ex-pect it and that makes comedy seriousto us In fact it almost makes comedytragedy and tragedy comedy I find reallife full of unconscious comedians AndI got fully as many laughs out of lifea my audiences apparently do out ofme Humanity loves to laugh at misfor-tune for some curious reason and thatI suppose Is one reason why my role ofJudy In Judy Forgot especially appealsJudy you know accidentally loses hermemory And what my audiences thinkI am trying to think with a missingmemory is some tribute to my songanddance artists contention

The Convent GirlThe next production to be made by

A H Woods manager of The Fasci-nating Widow will be a new sort ofshow a comedy with music called TheConvent Girl It has been adapted forthe American stage from a Germansource by Otto Hauerbaoh and MrWoods Is going to Europe to try to induce Paul Llnke to write the music forit It will be the most pretentious andexpensive production that Mr Woodshas ever made
