was no more popular playwright in '
New York, than Hoi Cooper Megrue. j
that season. But this season % its a dif- ,
fcrent story. Just at present, he has
no less than three plays on Broadway. ,
That of itself, is something to write i
about, hut that's quite another story, j
The thing that has so utterly ruined !
Mr. Megrue*s reputation with the fair j
sex, as far as lovely leading ladies |
and cunning little ingenues are con
cerned. is that in all these three plays
Mr. Megrue has, recently written i
there are only three feminine char- 1
acters. Of course in "Tea For Three,
which closes a two days' engagement j
at tlie Orpheum to-night, there is :i
maid's part, but its only a few lines
and can't really be counted. Char

Paris Red Cross
Requests Tea Room
For Waiting Nurses
Pretty hangings, comfortable
chairs and always a cup of tea.
j It helps if you are one of the
| hundreds of nurses who are always
| there in tlie equipment department
j of the Red Cross on some business
j or other connnected with uniforms
j and army regulations.
The tea hour has been introduced
j by the Y. W. C. A. at the request
I of tlie Red Cross, in the 4 Red Cross
nurses "equipment bureau'* at
j Paris. It is the same kind of co
operation ttiat the two organizations
have maintained for a long time.
In connection with most of the
American hospital centers, there is
a Y. W. C. A. secretary acting as
"hostess'' in a Red Cross nurses'
club.
j Miss Marie Rhodes, of Pittsburgh,
is director of this Red Cross de-
I partment. The Y. W. C. A. hostess
is Miss Mary Anderson, of Hud
j son. Wis., but better known in
| lowa, where she was student secre
! tary at the University of lowa for
several years before coming to
I France.
Being hostess is not new work to
Miss Anderson. For many months
her war job in France has been
at the nurses' club in Angers in
connection with the Pittsburgh unit,
No. 27.
Practically every nurse in the
I service goes through these equip
! ment rooms during the course of
her work in France. Often there
are unavoidable and long waits in
connection wit hher visit to the bu
reau. It is at these times that she
used the "tea room," which is to
her a transplanted miniature of the
j nurses club she has just left at her
base hospital.
SCENE FROM "THE MAN HUNTER,"
AT VICTORIA, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
apnea a —igMWWg
I MffiHWb

There are a dozen "big: moments" in the new William Farnum do luxe
production, "The Man Hunter," wh'oli will be shown at the Victoria Thea
ter to-morrow and Thursday. The first comes quickly on the screen. !t
is a most realistic fight in the beautiful lsindon apartment of the man who
lias tricked Cleorge Arnold (William Farnum) into poverty. The battle of
these two men, in the background of which flits a beautiful girl, wrecks
not only the furniture but the statuary; and in this confusion Arnold also
battles with the police—to be laid out finally by a night stick in the hand
of a I.ondon "Bobby."
Another big moment is seen on atians-Allantie pier in New York where
Arnold is working as a longshoreman, lie sees going aboard the vessel,
arrayed in fine clothes, the man who has robbed him. lie leaps after the
object of his hatred like a madman, only to be thrown sprawling on the
pier by the officers of the ship, and lie lands bruised and bleeding at the
feet of his false friend's stylishly dressed companions.
Still another big moment arrives when the vessel is at sen. Arnold
having stowed away, finally meets his man on deck. There is another fight
as wealthy society men and women look on. Officers throw Arnold into
the hold of the ship and chain him there, gome time later a storm runs
the vessel upon rocks In the tropics. The water is gradually fining the
hold. A sailor releases Arnold. Arnold comes to the deck where all is con
fusion- —madness. With his powerful voice he takes control, calms the
passengers, awes the maddened sailors, and begins putting them, into life
boats. Suddenly he sees the cowering figure of the man he is after. He
forgets courtesy, his heroic heart almost stops beating, and there wells
up in him an overpowering desire for revenge. Ifc leaps at his man—and
another struggle begins. Fate puts in end to tills tight by breaking the
vessel in two.
The final big moment oomes on a desert island upon whieii the two
men have been washed, along with the daughter of an oil king, whoso hand
the false friend was trying to win. Tt is a big moment when Arnold tolls
this man that he will let him live because of the girl: hut the climax
comes when this false friend tries to lake advantage of the girl's plight
Arnold witnesses his cowardly actionand again leaps at this man: and thev
struggle on a high cliff overlooking the sea. It is a long, tense buttle, in
which fnte again lakes a hand bv causing the edge of the ollfr t.. f u n
away and carry the man to his just end on the shore below.
Hampden Offers His
Wonderful "Hamlet"

Walter Hampden Jn his production
of "Hamlet," which has been acclaim
ed as the greatest dramatic event of
the New York season, will bo the
attraction at the Orpheum Theater
en Monday, April 7. There will be
but one matinee and one evening per
formance. This is surely an opportu
nity that no theatergoer can afford to
niirs. As presented by Mr. Ilainpden,
the old play takes on new life—in
i. •(, n is really reborn for it be
comes a vital, soul gripping, enter
tainment, more than able to hold the
• merest of even the mosc jaded "llrat
nigbter."
During the live months during
which Mr. Mampdtn haa presented
"llamlet" at special performances in
tli/i Plymouth Theater, New York,
the unique spectacle of capacity at a
Huikoapeare performance caused
Broadway to look on with amaze
ment. Then the word went out that
here was the greatest actor of th
age in a great play. Staid and self
absorbed business men decided they
must look this over. They did and
became Hampden fans. Dignified
dowagers, intellectual professors,
dainty debutants, millionaires, dorks
' nd "just people" soon discovered
that there wi splendid entertain
ment artlstlci presented.
