In n Big City" is said to be a play ol' strong human appeal, bringing out with engrossing dram atic emphasis the often-discussed white slave question, and handling it in a manner which will deeply and viv idly impress, but not offend, tin; most captious critic. Those who have Seen David Warfleld, America's greatest character actor, in all of his successes have Unvlil always cherished a par- Mar Held ticular remembrance for "The Music Master." llis Simon Levi in "The Auctioneer," Peter Grimm in "The Return of Peter Grimm," and Van del- Deeken in David Belanco's play of that name, were won derful characterizations beyond a doubt. But as llerr Anton Von Barwig in Charles Klein's play of New York musical life, he originated the most appealing role within the recollection of modern theatergoers. A new genera tion of playgoers is developing every lew years, according to the traditions of the theater, and as it has been sev eral years since Warfleld has been seen in this caracter, the present revival which David Belasco has made, would appear to be most timely.

It is an act of the musical comedy type, and while the girls are disporting their finery, Harrington Reynolds, a very funny comedian, is keeping the audience in uproarious laughter with his brand of comedy. A popular number on the bill is Noodles Fagan, assisted by his wife and little daughter, in a qomedy singing and talking act. Completing the list of at tractions are Fred Rogers, a colored comedian, in a song and dance turn with comedy; Roy Bryant and Com pany, presenting a laughable comedy sketch entitled "Texas Politics," and the Wlnton Brothers, in a novelty ac robatic offering.

THURSDAY EVENING 'yporili^hi & GrantJancl&ice Copyright, 1917, by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune) l'a Goose on the Links There was an old golfer absorbed with the blues; He had so many golf clubs he didn't know which to use; He loaded down his caddie and he ranted and he swore. But the more clubs that he carried the higher went his score. Hickory, dickory, docket, I hit three shots in the socket. And the words that I said Were not fit to be read, Hickory, dickory, docket. ' Enterprising devotees of the ancient and pastoral pastime make the mis take of confusing "par golf" with "perfect golf." They are nothing like the same. Here is an example: The 13th hole at Greenwich, a matter of some 450 yards, is registered as a par 5. Yet we saw Walter Hagen, after a long drive, hole out a midiron shot for a 2. The difference between par golf and perfect golf here was three strokes-—the difference between a 5 and a 2. You might say here that a drive, a brassie and one putt for a 3 would be perfect golf. But if a thing is perfect, how can it be improved? Tlie Case of Joe Wood Joe Wood's return to the fold under a Cleveland banner brings out one of | the most interesting cases in baseball. Wood, with a lame arm and a salary cut last seasop, decided the combina tion called for a year's rest. So he refrained from displaying his wares. Yet up to 1916 no pitcher in the game had shown a better four-year mark, count ing in his last four seasons. From 1912 to 1916 Wood worked in 87 complete games, with 69 victories again,st 18 defeats, the total leaving a winning mark of .791. Wood is con fident that his arm is- perfectly adjusted again, in his last year out he won 15 games and lost but 5, proof enough that no serious weakness had set in. If Smoke-ball Joe responds to Cleveland treatment, as Tris Speaker did, the Indians will be vital factors to the finish. Speaker, in his last year at Boston, batted .322. In his first year at Cleveland he moved this leverage up 65 points to .3 87, 20 points beyond the best season he lmd ever known before. Wood has intelligence and courage. If the arm doesn't warp again, Joe •will be a big help to his new clan. Steelier and Gotcli "Steeher is a greater wrestler than Frank Gotcli was at his best," com ments an exchange. Possibly, And then again, possibly not. Those who re call the Frank Gotcli of 10 years ago are not yet willing to admit that his su perior has come to the game. Gotcli was heavier, than Steelier, quicker and far more powerful. He carried with this a plentiful supply of brains and nerve, with an unusual amount of vindictlveness in battle. Steeher is un doubtedly a great wrestler or wrasaler, as the case may be, but he has yet to prove that he has taken his place above Gotch at Gotch's best. Mr. Darcy expects to open his "campaign of frightfulness next week, when he commits his first overt act." But whether he will start out sinking every thing in sight in the 1917 fashion is another affair. A Yelp l>oiii the North Write, ye scribes in Dixie's realm. Write of "masters at the helm" — Write of Coming Cobbs to be, Write of Wagners swinging free. Write of this and write of that, Write of Speaker and his bat. Write that "Phils lead pennant flight," Or "Cubs on upward grade," But do not, we beseech you, write Of Ninety in the Shade. "Just, why is it," queries A. A. H., "that California produces more good tennis players than any other three States?" Mainly for two reasons. Or two adoptions. As a starter, they have adapted two useful ingredients—proper weather for almost continuous play and proper form. Most of those who start, start and start in the right direction. "Willard asks $75,000 for next contest." Jess evidently hasn't noticed what the boycott did to potatoes and onions when they began, getting gay and lost control of themselves. " Still, $75,000 for a ten-round bout is only. $7,500 a round, or $2,500 a min ute. Extraordinary genius conies high in this specialized age. human interest. The story is elabo rately staged and gives Miss Hyland many opportuitits for displaying 1 her wonderful personality and also some beautiful gowns. It deais with a young girl who is suddenly thrust into a world of love and adventure, and in to her care is given a little boy, who later turns out to be a grand duke.

He arrived at the academy after traveling on foot more than 1,300 li to reach Pyeng Yang and with only $1 (2 yen) tn his possession to cover all his expenses for the year. He had to be told he could not enter. Mr. Reiner writes: "It was one o* the hardest moments of my life when I told him no.

The woman is poor, but for years she money so that she might buy the material necessary to build the family tomb. Rain or shine, she has labored daily on the vault, ceas ing her labors only when she was washing or housecleaning, the work ising affair. This is a new organiza tion, composed of Senior girls, and they plan many activities for the fu ture. To-morrow afternoon the lumber ton contest will be held in chapel, tlie judges having: been selected as fol lows: Dr. Charles B. Fager, E. E. Heidleman and L. E. McGinnes.

A twelfth lies in a New York grave. They were all she had. The woman is Mrs. Philomena Tor rell, of 56 Hayes street. She is 4 8 years old, but looks nearly 60. For many weeks she has mixed cement and built up the strong walls which she hopes in time will inclose the mortal remains of her family and her self when she comes to share the long sleep with them. Mrs. Torrell reluctantly admitted that her husband, a laborer, did not sympathize with her work and never had come to the cemetery to help her. The husband, Mrs. Torrell said, does not have steady work. "Anyway, we have suffered together, and we will sleep here with the children," she said. "I have worked hard all my life, and when this job is done maybe 1 get rest here very soon." elaborate program has been arranged, which will be opened by Dr. Clayton A. Smucker.

Guns and his bride entered the dry states of Washington and Oregon on their wedding Journey, Mr. Gans stopped at Butte, Mont., and purchas ed four quarts of whisky, she said, in the Supreme Court yesterday. That was an indication of what was to follow in her married life, accord ing to her story, and the reason that she was forced to seek a separation. Mr. lians denied all of the accusations against him, and Justice Newburger granted alimony of S2O a week pend ing trial, together with SIOO counsel fees. DYING CHIEF BARS DOCTORS Pendleton, Ore., March I.—Chief No-Shirt, the Walla Walla Indian chief, who lies at the point of death, believes that a spell has been cast over him by She-Low-He-Tammy, an old Indian doctor on the Umatilla res ervation, and absolutely refuses med ical aid from white doctors. The dying Indian has an Indian medicine man in attendance, but holds no hope that this doctor can save hlni from the evil influence of She-Low- He-Tammy. The latter Indian is bet ter known as "Big Jim," and is said by tribesmen to have caused the death of several Indians recently. THE IKONY OF FATE As he was eating his New Year's dinner, Mr. John N.
