EORGE M. COHAN recently ref
_ ceived a letter with a rural date
line trom a prospective bridegroom
who was under the Impression
that the Artcraft star was the boss of
the "Great White Way" and asking lor
a pasi to Broadway. In a spirit ot fun
Cohan sent his personal card, writing
thereon: "Pass bearer and lady.
George M. Cohan.' The other day the
actor-author-producer received the fol
towing letter:
' Deer Or. Cohan:
Am back (rom my hunnymoon
trip. Thanks fo' the pass. When
1 hit Broadway I showed It to a
policeman. He looked at It and
I told me to go to a theatre at th'd
street. 1 did, and showed the card
to a man at a winnow and he gave
me two fine seatr.

trong White Slave Play.
"One Girl's Experience" at t he i
Grand last night piayed to well filled
upper floors, but there were many vacant
chairs in the lower part of the
house. The show was all It promised
to be, a gripping drama of the "white
lave" class and -vas satisfactorily interpreted
by a well balanced cast. For
display of hlBtrlonle talent Walter
Austman, Emily C-frbvre. Louise Carter
and Lillian Morris nre entitled to
special mention.
Hipp Playing Vaudeville Acts.
Manager FiRhci proved himself
equal to the occasion yesterday when
he found that his louse was without
an attraction owiry to the non-arrival
of the much-heralded "Yankee Doodle
GlrlB." He put on two vaudeville acts
and three pictures and cut the ailmis j
slon price to fifteen cents, and a big I
house last night .('tested approval ofi
all he had done. An effort was made :
to get three vaudeville acts, anil for i ,
time during the day there was hope J
the effort would lie successful Word j
received by long distance from the Sun j
Booking Agency staled that a tliirn
act bad been sent, 'out it evidently went
the way of the "Vinkee Doodle (iirls
and got lost.
In the bill now presented Lew
Hershey, tbo human frog, gives a re- j
markable act of its Bind. Besides won-'
derful feats of corfrtion he parks liini j
self Into almost unbelievably small
apace which is life short of a sensa 1
tlon.
The singing, talking and dancing
act put on by Boy! & Lillian, is classy
and pleased thoroughly. Besides tne
clever work of these two performers
they exhibit an excellent wardrobe and
gi their changes add attractiveness to the

Qood Acting In "The Cloud."
la "The Cloud," which la showing
at the Prlnceaa today. It la evident that
the producer! would have bad an extremely
Interesting picture If they
bad not tried to do M> much In the way
of a plot. Aa It la It still holds the interest
but they bave Instituted so many
parallels for tbe spectator to follow
that the story often becomes rather In
volved ana there are irequent tangles
of loose ends. Tho arrangement ot
scenes Is also liable to become baffling.
The story Is of a woman's sacrifice
for her daughter and, in turn, the
daughter's greater sacrifice, to save
her mother's name after the latter"s
death. The girl's experiences begin in
a boarding school and end with her acknowledging
her lore for the man who
has done his best to help her out of
numerous hectic situations.
Jean Sothern does some very good
acting In "The Cloud" and she gives a
fine portrait of a winsome and charming
young girl. During the first two
reels she displays her ability to cry In
at least a dozen different manners.
Richard Tucker plays a conventional
role so that it is ll'ted out of the rut,
and Arthur Housman Is a convincing,
wayward youth wiln an avaricious disposition.
These players and the remainder
of the cast do a great deal In
holding the attention of the spectator
to the screen on account of the manner
in which they handle their material.

Klondyke Story at the Dixie.
The Dixie's feature today Is "The
Greater Raw." It is a story of the
Klondyke in which a sister's ruthless
vengeance is turned to a mild and
harmless romance through a case of
mistaken identity. The situations
seem a hit forced at times, as for instance
the duel which the heroine in
sists on fighting with the lilameicss
hero, but these inconsistencies may be
laid to the fact that almost anything

graphed and make for an appropriate
and artistic background.
The story follows the adventures of
a young girl who Journeys along to the
Elondyke for the purpose of avenging
her brother, whom she believes to
have been killed by one of the prospectors.
Suspicion falls on a man whom
she has already learned to love and in
the first shock of her disillusion she
fights a duel with ter erstwhile lover,
wounding him in the arm. Later her
brother appears in perfect health with
a mining camp brice and the story of
a bitter vengeance ends by blissful
matrimony.
Myrtle Gonralei plays the part of the
avenging heroine with convincing sincerity
and George Hernandez does a
quaint bit of character work as a Elondyke
diamond In the rough.
