Heroine's Acting Truer Than Plot
Philosophy Is Drowned in Tears
WEAKNESS IN
"EASIEST WAV"
MADE APPARENT
Maude Fealy Negatives Char
acter of Laura Murdock
in Walter's Drama
WALTER ANTHONY
By the poignancy of her playing
Maude Fealy made Laura Murdock a
pitiful, forlorn heroine of Eugene Wal
ter's realistic drama, "The Easiest
Way." Tho philosophy of the play was
drowned in tears, its truth was smoth
ered in sobs and "The Easiest Way"
was made to seem a hard way for the
woman Who gave up too easily.
In her third act, where I>aura Mur
dock fights for her happiness in the
turbulent tide that always runs against
the weak. Miss Fealy exhibited such a
sturdmess of purpose as to negative the
heroine's character, as exhibited in the
-■>nd act. The fault was inherent in
the drama. The virtue was inherent
in her acting. Such a person as Laura
Murdock disclosed herself to be in the
third act would not have succumbed to
the temptation in the second act. Su<-h
a splendid roernizance of the right as
shown in the third act would have been
triumphant in the second a> t.
' <«\TRAST BROUGHT OUT
The structural weakness of Walter's
ingenious drama, was not so clearly
shown when Frances Starr played the
part at twice the price. Miss Starrs
Laura was not so splendidly feminine in
the third act of "The Easiest Way" as
was Miss F aly's. A touch of shrewd
ness was impressed on Miss Starr's
Laura. Tenderness and devotion were
characteristic of Miss Fealy's. The re
t last night was to discredit the
weakness of the previous act wherein,
after three weeks of discomfort. Laura
sold herself back into the degradation
<-f the life from which she had sought
briefly to drag herself. T mean to say
• Miss Kealy's Laura was so fine and
intrinsic a woman in the third act that,
if one took the pains to think about it.
one would never believe her capable of
the odious action in the second act.
The player was finer than the play,
and her truthfulness was truer than the
plot. Laura Murdock was a supremely
splendid woman at ene crucial moment
in the play, and a supremely frivolous
person at another. At no time did Miss
F'ealy suggest with certainty the shrewd,
.-illy person, nor even the weak.
If there is a philosophy to Walter's
drama it is •in the adjustment of his
plot to the purposes of disclosing the
temptations that surround the weak in

ist —are salient elements In the Wal
ter "Zolaesque drama.
PHILOSOPHY SET ASIDE
This philosophy Miss Fealy set aside
in the sweet appeal of her authentic
self to the audience, it -was an appeal
so beautifully made that Laura seemed
a martyr instead of a weakling. The
result was a triumph for Miss Fealy as
an emotional actress carried away by
composite impulse of a too modern
plot. Her work —if one may call such
acting as she exhibited work—augers
securely for her engagement at the
Alcazar. There were few dry eyes
whelß she finished her appeal to
Brockton, the hroker who had accom
,*>d her ultimate ruin.
James Durkin in the role of the
vounsr western lad, who loved Laura
hut didn't inquire whether she npeded
money for food while he was finding
mines in Nevada and she was strug
gling against licentiousness in New
York, was an agreeable figure and
joined in promoting the feeling that
the Fealy-Durkin engagement at the
Alcazar was going to be a success. Like
Miss Fealy he has a voice capable of
wide modulation and effectiveness. He
has manner. Intelligence and a distinc
tion of bearing quite characteristic.
ROLE OF BROKER VVEI.I- PLAYED
E. L. Bennison in the role of the
hroker. Brockton, was, as always, ef
fective. His simulation of the moods
of pique, anger and of a worldly wise
forehearance were admirable and na
turally put on.

WOMEN ORGANIZE
TO HELP WILSON
Committee of 125 Will Warn
Their Sisters of "Battle for
Humanity" Buncombe
Organization of the woman's com
mittee of 125 of the democratic state
central committee was effected at a
meeting in the Fhelan building yester
day afternoon. Appointment of finance
and press committees and a vigorous
talk by J. O. Davis, chairman of the
I democratic state central committee
I were the features of the meeting. Mrs.
! Jennie Leland Durst, chairman, pre
sided. Mrs. Grace B. Caukin is secre
tary.
Mrs. Peter Hamilton of San Anselmo
was named chairman of the finance
committee and Miss Frances Joliffe as
head of the press committee.
Chairman Davis told the women cam
paigners that from now on. and espe
cially after the return home of Gov
ernor Johnson, they would hear much
about the "fight for humanity" that the
bull moose standard bearers were sup
posed to be making.
ROOSEVELT THE ANOINTED
"There will be much noise and you
will be told over and over again that
Roosevelt has come to save the nation
and to battle for humanity." said Davis.
"Do not heed this noise. Set your
selves to analyze Roosevelt's character.
See him for the man he really is.
Roosevelt probably honestly believes
he is the Moses of this campaign;
probably honestly thinks that the Lord
ought to hand over to him the job of
running the universe, and he probably
honestly believes he is capable of han
dling the Job.
"Roosevelt separates men into two
classes. Regardless of who they are,
those men who are with him are good,
those who. are against him are bad.
For example: Four years ago he re
ferred to Senator Root as the greatest
living statesman. Nothing in Senator*
Root's life since then has been of such
a nature as to change any man's esti
mate of Root as a public servant, yet
today, according to Roosevelt, he is a
•porch climber,' a thief. Root was with
him four years ago; today he is against
him.
BOSSES ARE IN LINE
Roosevelt takes to his bosom Dan
Hanna, who gave $177,000 to his cam
paign fund, and Bill Flinn, who gave
to his campaign fund 1144,000, and who
admits that he did it to gain republican
control in Pennsylvania. Such men as
these have qualified as Christian sol
diers going to battle for humaqity.
"Roosevelt calls Governor Deneen of
Illinois, whom I know personally, a
liar; Governor Hadley of Missouri,
considered a capable, progressive gov
ernor, he puts into the class of 'unde
sirable citizens," simply because those
two able men are not with Roosevelt."
Democratic Headquarters Open
The democratic county committee
has opened headquarters on the seventh
floor of the Westbank building. The
headquarters will be in charge of Matt
Brady and A. M. Hirschfeld, secretary
of the campaign committee. The demo
cratic, organization Is preparing for a

JOHNSON'S NEPHEW
OUT FOR WILSON
Albert L. Johnson Stumping,
State Says Old Line Republi*
cans are for Princetonian
That three-fourths of the Taft repub
licans in the north coast counties will
vote for Wilson and Marshall Is the
opinion of Albert L. Johnson, nephew
of Governor Hiram L. Johnson.
Johnson was one of the stanch La
Follette republicans who refused to be
delivered to Roosevelt by his uncle
when the La Follette organization was
ordered to drop the Wisconsin man and
get in behind Roosevelt. Now he is
stumping the state Jor Wilson under
the auspices of the Wilson National
Progressive Republican league. He has
just completed a tour of Marin, Sonoma,
Mendocino and Humboldt counties.
"Up in Humboldt county," said John
son, "I was much surprised and grati
fied to find everywhere the buttons and
pictures of Woodrow Wilson. Among
the lumbermen and old time republicans
he was especially strong, and fully 50
per cent of those who attended my
meetings were republicans.
"One man, 81 years old, declared that
for the first time in his life he had been
deprived of the right to vote as his
conscience dictated, and that under the
circumstances he purposed to cast his
first vote for a democratic national
candidate.
"In Eureka there is a strong La Fol
lette club. That organization is work
ing enthusiastically for Wilson. The
most influential newspaper in that part
of the state —the Eureka Herald, a
stanch republican paper, is supporting
Wilson. I estimate that fully three
fourths of the Taft. republicans in the
districts I visited will vote for Wilson."
Johnson will leave today for a stump
ing tour of the Sacramento valley.

CITY IS ASKED TO
AID WOMAN'S HOME
Plan Is to Provide Refuge for
Persons Reclaimed From
Underworld
A relief home for - women of the
underworld was proposed yesterday by
J. M. Maguire of the municipal clinic to
the supervisors' public welfare com
mittee, and Chairman Payot of the
committee was delegated to confer with
Mayor Rolph to arrange for the ap
pointment of a commission of citizens
by the mayor to establish and control
the institution.
Mayor Rolph recently received a
letter from Judge Clayton Herrington,
president of the Anti White Slavery
society, in which Maguire's plan was
set forth. As a result, Maguire ex
plained his proposition to the com
mittee, stating that he was asking no
funds from the city, but merely munici
pal authorization and the appointment
of a commission by the mayor.
The home would be for women, as
distinct from the minors now sent to
the juvenile detention home. Maguire
explained that young women who are
the complaining witnesses in white
slave cases have no place to go when
released by the court and that in con
sequence they return to the old life
and often fall again into the hands of
white slavers.
He proposes to raise funds for the
home by private subscription. Mayor
Rolph will be asked to appoint Chief
of Police White a member of the com
mission. An auxiliary committee of
women would aid in securing proper
employment for the women when they
are released. The home would be in
charge of a matron, with woman as
sistants. Maguire estimated the ex
pense for 25 women at $700 a month,
Including rental of the building, food
and other attendant expenses.
Miss M. L Sweeney, a social worker,
opposed the maintenance of a separate
home for women, suggesting as a sub
stitute an addition to the juvenile de
tention home.
"The small number of women who
would wish to lead a new life would
not justify a special home for them,"
she said. "No more than 1 in 40 girls
whose cases come to my notice wishes
to be reformed. They wish to go back
to the indolent life, and in fact have
no training to support themselves
otherwise. •
"Many are married women, who must
support their children. You would be
surprised at the great number. The
fault, in the first place, lies In the
fact that girls do not receive in re
spectable positions sufficient wages to
support themselves."
Mayor Wants Better School
As a champion for the residents of
the Columbus school district. Mayor
Rolph appeared before the supervisors'
public buildings committee yesterday
and urged vigorously the erection of
a substantial building for the children
of the district. Rolph explained that
he had been deeply impressed by the
argument made at the "Kickers' meet
ing" the night before, when a large
delegation from the Columbus district
appeared before him.
Members of the buildings committee
and Miss Sally Jones of the school
board said that not more than one
new school in addition to those already
planned could be built out of the 1904
school bonds, and that there was a
question as to whether the new school
should be the Columbus, Glenn park,
or others most urgently required.
Rolph answered that there was
several thousand dollars apparently
lying idle in the school fund.
"When you've got the money to
spend why don't you spend it?" he in
quired of Miss Jortes. "Why Isn't that
$138,000 being used? We have been
waiting now eight years for these 1904
bond Issue schools. Why not build a
school at once with what Is left of
the fund?"
It wag explained that there was
some difficulty in selling the bonds
and that other delays had been occa
sioned by the fact that the architectu
ral bureau, where school building plans
are now being prepared, is swamped
with work. Miss Jones promised to
call upon the architects and urge them
to rush the completion of plans.
The committee decided that the best
plan would be to submit a proposed
bond issue for schools at a separate
election rather than in connection
with the bond election for the pur
chase of the Sutro property, aquatic
park and completion of the San Fran
cisco hospital.
Cashin's Bond Is $10,000
On recommendation of the super
visors' public utiliities committee the
bond of Thomas A. Cashin, superin
tendent of municipal railways, was
fixed yesterday by the board of works
at $10,000.

of Philip Michaels, a tailor at 967 Ellis
street, near Franklin, a few minutes be
fore 8 o'clock last night, did damage to
the extent of $2,000 in the tailor shop,
filled half a dozen other stores with
smoke and caused considerable ex
citement in the neighborhood. When
Fire Chief Murphy arrived the smoke
was pouring out of six stores and one
was bursting with flames. A second
alarm was turned in as a precaution
ary measure.
The store at 969 Ellis street, next

UNCLE SAM PLUGS
WIRES FOR WOOERS
Limit Put on Telephonic Love
Making of Army Men
at Presidio
Telephonic love making must not
last more than five minutes a seance,
according to Colonel Cornelius Gar
dener, U. 8. A., commandant at the
Presidio. In that ukase the colonel is
supported by Captain Charles M. Bun
del, adjutant to the colonel.
"A soldier must be as quick about
his love messages as he is about his
fighting," is the motto of Colonel Gar
dener.
The soldiers stationed at the Presi
dio garrison found the telephone wire
is a tender tendril which may unite
them with the ears of their sweet
hearts. They utilized that medium. A
private would talk for a half hour with
his "girl," a corporal for an hour and
a sergeant for an hour and a half at
a stretch.
Colonel Gardener decided to change
the system, so yesterday he had Cap
tain Bundel post a notice in the head
quarters of the First cavalry and other
headquarters, in effect:
'It has been brought to the atten
tion of the commandant that soldiers
had been using the telephone to the
city in conversations of a naif hour,
an hour, and an hour and a half dura
tion, that such conversations had been
reported by various operators and they
are to the detriment of the service.
Therefore, hereafter, all telephone calls
will be limited to five minutes dura
tion, except when the person telephon
ing is acting nnder the instructions' of
an officer and is telephoning on official
business connected with the post or
the United States army."
That ought to settle it.

to the association.
The local received from President D.
Ryan, who was its delegate to the re
cent convention of the United Broth
erhood of Carpenters and Joiners of

work of that body. For this he was
given a vote of thanks.
A death claim for $200 to the bene
ficiaries of a member who died in West
minster, B. C, recently was allowed;
needy members were allowed an aggre
gate of $17; accident benefits in the
sum of $15 were allowed; $10 worth
of tickets for the benefit of L. Krause,
a superannuated carpenter, were pur
chased; one applicant was obligated
and two members were admitted on
transfer.
At the last meeting of local No. 8 of
the American International Musical
and Theatrical union a class of seven
candidates was obligated. A committee
was appointed to wait on the officers
of local No. 6 of the American Federa
tion of Musicians, in regard to estab
lishing a uniform rate of prices for
both organizations. State Organizer
Henry Edwards addressea the meetintr
and asked the members to accompany
him to Daly City next Friday night,
when the officers of local No. 40, re
cently organized, will be installed for

Sympathy for Colonel Roosevelt was

Brodie, who was second in command
under Roosevelt at the battle of San
Juan, and a personal friend of- the
Rough Rider leader, said the news of
the assault on the former president
had stunned him. Colonel Brodie told
many incidents of the famous charge
up San Juan hill, in the face of the

Anthony Smolenskl of 522 Anderson
street, a cabinet worker who speaks
seven languages and wants a wife, ap
peared in the bond and warrant clerk's
office yesterday and asked for a war
rant for the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. R.
L. Hyde, managers of the California
S'.ate Matrimonial agency, 2677 Mission
street.
Smolenskl made It plain that he
either wanted his - $6 back or a wife.
The warrant was refused. He says
September 2D he paid $6 to Grace I*.
Hyde for a life membership in the
agency and was furnished with a list
of six women with their addresses.
At the first house a vicious dog kept
him away from the doorbell. The sec
ond h* found vacant. He decided to
write to tho other four women and re
ceived no answer.
He went back to Mrs. Hyde, he says,
and told her of his experiences In seek
ing a life mate. She told him to re
turn the following Saturday, when she
would have a woman to suit him. "I
toftl her." related Smolensk!, "that I
wanted a woman between the ages of
25 and 30 years. I'm only 35 years old
myself.
"I went around the back way. There
I met a pretty servant girl and fell in
lovo with her. Mrs. Hyde came in and :
was angry. She said I had no right
to make love to the servant girl. She
then told me to come Into the parlor,
where I met a woman who was 70 years
old. I told Mrs. Hyde she would not
do and then Mrs. Hyde told me to gefc
out."
SKIN TROUBLE 111
SPOTS OVER ARMS
■
Scratched, Then It Burned. - Itched
So Could Not Get Much Rest.
Used Cuticura Remedies. In One
Month Was Entirely Cured.
Kalilotus, Wash. —" My trouble com
menced by itching in the joint of the elbow,
caused by pimples. I scratched, then ifi
burned. When I got warm, it was worse.
It was in spots all over my arms. It was in
sores, and itched so bad that I could not
get much rest at all. I used everything I
could think of, but got no relief till 1 found
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
"I washed my arms with Cuticura Soap
twice a day, and then applied the Cuticura
Ointment on a piece of cloth and put it on
my arms and that gave me relief right away
from that itching. I used two boxes of Cuti
cura Ointment, Cut'cura Soap and Cuticura
Resolvent and in one month I was entirely
cured. I have never been troubled since.
It cured me and it will cure others. I also
use Cuticura Ointment on my baby's head
for the hair, and recommend it for sore
hands." (Signed) Mrs. Lillie Goblet, Dec
28,1911.
