IMS r WW Ax: A' 1. ,u V,, --.;r-i it r 1 Hebrew Institute Burns. :hicago, March 8. The Hebrew rary Institute on West Taylor and e Btreets was totally destroyed by 1 today. The loss is $110,000. George Arliss, who has won distinc tion as the ablest character actor on the English stage, and who comes to the Illinois in "Septimus" Friday, seems always to have been a mighty good actor, so far as can be learned. He came to this country with Mrs. Patrick Campbell in 1901 and played Cayley Drummel in Arthur Wing Pin- ero's play, "The Second Mrs. Tanque ray," which is one thing for which American theatregoers ought to be grateful to "Mrs. Pat." His success was undisputed and American theatre goers and managers liked him so well that he was induced to remain in this country, David Belasco being the for tunate manager to get his services. He also played the duke of St. Al phertz in "The Notorious Mrs. Ebb emith," another Pinero play. Previ ous to his coming to this country, the first known of him was his appearance in "The Guardsman" in the English provinces, in the character comedy part of "Alderman Jones," for which he received the munificent salary of two pounds a week. He later played the leading- heavy role in "A Woman's Revenge," in which he scored so great a success that his salary was increased i "r . i r 7- 4 . ?Lii "1 111 11 iMTftifcin'V 1'iwHimin iiTii-infii Trr CeoR&E Aru s 5 as M Pt .DEvit 1 Mr Arliss w Scptimvjs to four pounds a weet When Pinero's play, "The Notorious Mrs. EbbBmith," was 6ent on tour after a success at the Garrick in London, Arliss was engaged to play John .Hare's role, "The Duke of St. Alpherts." He made an enor mous hit, and when Mrs. Patrick Campbell visited America for the first time with her Pinero repertoire, she brought Arliss with her. His career in this country has been one of mag nificent successes. Belasco engaged him to play Zakkuri, the sinister Japa nese in "The Darling of the Gods." His performance was a triumph. He next joined Mrs. Fiske's company and played Marquis of Steyne in "Becky Sharpe." He continued with her in her next production, that of "Leah Kleschne," in which he made another distinctive hit as the vicious French youth, Raoul Berton. During his as sociation with" Mrs. Fiske he appeared in several one-act plays under her di rection, among them, "Count Chateau de Rohan" in "The Rose" and N. d'Ancelot in '"The Eyes of the Heart." He continued with this distinguished actress when she produced "The New York Idea," in which he played the part of Sir' William CatesOarby. In the season of 1907-8 he appeared as Ulric Brendel in Mrs. Fiske's produc tion of "RoEmersholm." The follow ing season came Harrison Grey Fiske'3 production of Molnar's play, "The Devil." Mr.- Arliss was selected to play the role of his Satanic majesty. His success in that role is now a mat ter of pleasant historic record. He achieved an impressive triumph where most of the other actors who essayed thie role were merely commonplace. It elevated him to "stardom" under Mrs. Fiske's management, a distinction which his ability and merit as an actor well entitle him. 9 ILLINOIS THEATRE. eeoad avenue and Sixteenth street. arch 9 Otla Skinner In "Your Hum- Servant.'' arch 11 George Arliss in "Septl- DAVESPORT.

Young has a winner in his play, "The Money and the Girl," it was to be regretted that he did have a larger audience to see him he Illinois last evening. There is enough of the more serious parts khe drama in the piece to draw p the sharp wit of Mr. Young, the y, settings and all the materials Ig crisp and new. The part of liny Smith, taken by Mr. Young. that of a typical American young K. minus the usual ambitions. In rr to gain an inheritance he was ed into a marriage with a girl he never met. To escape the scru of his bride it was arranged, os ibly for effect, to have the cere v performed in the darkness. As p&a the ceremony had been per formed Johnny made his escape and it was only by accident that he came across the girl again. Live sparks 'of wit are dashed off by Mr. Youngr by the cue furnished fty J. S. Kinslow, as Reginald Amesley, a selfish, plot ting rival. Agues Blial as Winifred Thompson was pretty, graceful and refinied. The check song was re freshing and other members of the company were good enough to give a fair balance to the piece. HOPP HAS FINE OPENING. The opening of the Hopp theatre, formerly the Elite. last evening was most auspicious. The house was fill ed to its capacity. Those who were fortunate enough to have seats for the first show were not disappointed in the quality of the bill offered for their approval. The feature act Is the Five Merry MacGregors. The company, four of whom are men and one a "bonnie lassie." posses rare talent for singing the old Scottish songs, and the stunts which the RTlt ed Scots do are ridesplitters. The scene is a room in a Scottish castle and the characters are-the lassie, Mary MacGregor, her rweetheart, Angus MacTodd, and three ancestors of the girl who have been changed from porfraits back to real life again for the space of one hour through thw properties of a magic stone which was found by Angus. Leon and Ad eline faced the first audience in the new theatre with the handicap of having to work after it had been ren dered skeptical by the failure of the newly arrived moving picture ma- SOU can tell the difference in corn meals by looking at !hem if one of them is o mi er GomMeal It is clean and evenly granu- ited.

May Collins proved a real entertainer in her Dutch comedy act, and Nanita and Verita won generous applause with their singing and dancing. Dainty little Miss Burgess of the comedy sketch team, Mack and Burgess, made one of the hits of the evening. Miss Donna Sullivan did very well with the-illustrated ballad considering the condition the stereop tlcon machine was in. The only hitch which occurred in the opening performance was the failure of the moving picture machine to do its duty, and this was a great disappoint ment to .Manager Fulton and to Jos- 1 eph Hopp. the lessee, who was down from Chicago to attend the opening. Both men are adepts in moving plc- 1 ture work and either would have preferred to have one of their acts i fail them rather than to have their ! machine go wrong. The machine i was not so much to blame, however, i as it arrived from Chicago late in the ; afternoon and was jarred out of all : adjustment during transit. i SKINNER'S VERSATILITY. ! Otis Skinner is this season dupli j eating his past triumphs, and his new ! play, ".Your Humble Servant,'' gives fresh and delightful evidence of this i brilliant actor's versatile powers. It j is said he has never been seen in a j character which taxed his resources of serious and comic expression to such an intense degree. Those who have seen him In "Your Humble Servant" say It certainly demonstrates one po tent fact, and that is that Mr. Skinner is as good a comedian as he is a ro mantic actor. Moreover, his support ing company gives him valuable ar tistic assistance. His return to this city tomorrow evening at the Illinois promises to be rewarded with a rec ord breaking house. The advance sal is already large. "Your Humble Ser vant" makes an especial appeal to the feminine contingent. It abounds 5n sentimental episodes and love scenes and, as no actor before the public can make love to a stage heroine with greater fervor than Otis Skinner, he is always interesting in such scenes His new play scored an unqualified success in New York and chronicles another triumph for the authors, Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon llson.

The play is to be at tne urana opera nouse, Davenport, Thursday evening. AT THE FAMILY. Maxim Models head the "bill at the Family for the first half of this week. There are five people in the cast which reproduces nine of the famous paint ings of the world, namely, "The Black smith," "The Peacemaker." "The Temptation of St. Anthony," "The Re turn of the Mayflower," "The Glean ers," "The Shepherd and His Friends." "Satyr and His Nymphs," "Alone" and "The Spirit of '76." A large gilded frame is set upon the stage and each picture is reproduced in it. The light ing and color effects of the entire set are very good. Will Bauger appears in a bounding rope act; Gorforth and Doyle present a comedy minstrel act. "Her Demented Sister," and the three American comlques put on a singing act. Mrs. Casey sinars "Lovelight," and the bill is closed with moving pictures. FIRST PERFORMANCE PLEASES. Under the auspices of the Grace Lutheran church of Rock Island the story of the German Reformation was given at the Barrymore, Moline. last evening. Brilliant costumes, waving flags and spirited action resulted in a most successful rendition of the life of Martin Luther. The central scene of the play was the Diet of Worms, that important historical event of the 16th century, when Charles V., em peror of Germany, at the instigation of the pope, called before him that intrepid character, Martin Luther, jo answer for his strong forceful preach ing of strong faith and exercise of in dividual thought. The difficult char acters were pleasingly rendered by Tohn H. Hauberg as Charles V., J. V. Benson as Martin Luther and Elbert Schersten as Elector of Germany. The impressive rendition of this scene pro duced a deep effect upon the audience. The grouping of black robed nuns and white draped novices in the fourth TO RECLAIM LAND Vast Project Petitioned for by Owners of Property at Muscatine. TO BENEFIT 45,000 ACRES Estimated that Cost Would Be $100,- OOO Tract Forms Horseshoe Lying About Island. Muscatine, Iowa, March 8. (Spe cial.) Plans for the reclamation of 45,000 acres of Muscatine and Louisa county swamp land at an estimated cost of $100,000 was presented at the meeting of the board of supervisors yesterday. It is one of the largest reclamation projects ever launched in the state. Sixty-seven full sections of land are included in the district and thousands of acres of other land in Qther sections. The petition was signed by 69 prop erty ownera. Adjacent to Island. The land lies adjoining Muscatine island and in fact is practically all of the land within the horseshoe of the bluffs encircling the island. Attached to the petition is a bond of $1,000 to cover the preliminary ex penses of the survey. The petitioners ask that a big pump ing station be placed at the mouth of the Muscatine slough and that a suit able levee be erected along the shores of Muscatine island which will prevent overflow. The district is practically a continu ation of the present drainage district No. 3." The matter has been taken un der consideration by the board. scene was more than pleasing, and the upturned faces and clasped hands of the figures were impressive in the ex treme. The vocal numbers of this scene, and the character of the abbess rendered by Miss Iva Pierce were especially worthy of commendation. Much Interest was displayed in the allegorical marches in the first and last scenes, taken part in by 80 young people. Carefully drilled, they exe cuted their difficult part with a pre cision that brought forth frequent ap plause. In these marches, the flags of all colors, especially the Stars and Stripes, were in evidence, and the chorus rendering "Bin Feste Burg" was well applauded.

Mr. Busch's Latest Plan. St. Louis Times: Like all of the measures suggested and supported by the genius and energy of Adolphus Busch, tbe benefit and pension propo sition just devised by the great St. is Washington, D. C, March 8. The methods of the Merchant Marine league will be subjected to the con gressional searchlight. The subcom mittee of the Judiciary committee yesterday completed its hearings. No formal decision was reached, but the indication is that the recommenda tion will go to the full committee for a complete investigation. Congressman Kusterman of Wis consin declared that if the things which John A. Penton and the Mer chant Marine league have said about him are true, he Is not fit to be a member of congress. He urged upon the committee that these persons ought to be made to show whether he was really unfit or not. He said the charges were made against the entire congress. Many documents laid before the committee by Congressman Steener son and Kustermann showed a gen eral assault upon congress for f aril Ins to pass a ship subsidy bill. Louis brewer is as striking as it original. Mr. Busch proposes to create a fund for the employes of his business. This fund is not to be made up by monthly or weekly mites from the employes, but Is to be supported generously by the open-handed employer. The C,K)0 , brewery workers will be the recipients of many benefits and assurances with out being compelled to contribute any thing but their Own loyalty in return. There is in Mr. Busch's latest plan all of the elements of a genuine under standing betwpi employer and em ploye. Most pension funds which re flect credit upon the employer are merely the creations of the employes themselves. The new plan put into effect by Mr. Busch is in reality a profit-sharing measure. The thous ands of dollars which are to go an nually to a fund for the employes to guarantee them and their loved ones against the pains of sickness and death are to come out of Mr. Busch's profits, and not out of the pockets of the Individuals. Here we have an example which mlpnt -well be followed by heads of great industries in all parts of all countries. Licensed to Wed. Mert O. Mitts Andalusia Miss Clara B. Evans Andalusia Axel T.
