London Delights
in Stage Antiques

A.ll-British Review Will Be

London, June 23.—A bright young
person of journalistic trend seemed to
think It was necessary to apologize
for the age of Duse by remarking
that Westminster Abbey was old and
and nobody would wish it to be young.
Which X thought exceedingly appar
ent.
If all the antiques on the London
stage must be compared with land
marks, well, there are plenty of them.
For Instance, there Is Mrs. Patrick
Campbell, who is again to tour In
the "Second Mrs. Tanqueray,” who
might appropriately be likened to St.
Paul cathedral, whilst the ever-ver
dant Ellen Terry, who Is seen from
time to time, would achieve a pleasant
reputation as the Tower of London.
Scoffs at Youth.
There la not the least doubt that
London scoffs at the mere youth we
so Inconsistently praise. To be old
and seasoned, that's London’s great
attraction.
The town Is full of revivals. They
surpass In numbers New York's re
vivals and they seem to draw. There
was Gladys Cooper in a sumptuous
revival_of "Magda.” And there's the
perennial Hawtrey doing new justice
to “Jack Straw.”
It’s baffling to us, these old-timers
doing the same old stunts they did
before the war, but there’s a certain
beauty about it. There’s the ineffa
ble gorgeousness of royalty, of which
we want ao little.
Carrying out our simile above quot
edJk suppose Hawtrey might be com
fcpffed to the Bank of England. That,
^t least, la a sure thing.
Devoid of Novelty.
This week in London, apart from
‘‘Robert E. Lee” and the new Milne
play at the Haymarket entitled "Suc
cess,” has been devoid of novelty with
the exception of a series of matinees
of the "The Man Who Ate the Fopo
mack,” a sort of dramatization of a
smell. He ate a popomack and lp
stantly smelled so strong he was a
nuisance to his fellows. His sweet
heart. In a clubby mood and in order
to make him feel not too ostracized,
also ate of the pungent fruit.
The sandwich gentlemen are
abroad bearing news of “Enemies of
Women" at the Empire theater. I
have watched, the long, persistent
queues of humanity waiting outside
till the doors open. It is an aston
ishing sight In London. People love
to form these queues. They won't
have things altered. Managers have
tried to reserve the cheaper seats and
arrange matters comfortably, but In
. England, If you have once been un
comfortable, you are obsessed with
the Idea of always being uncomfort
able.
"Enemies of Women."
"Enuemies of Women” Is doing a
land-office business. Tastes may be
different In respect to humor and out
Hg)Mtl>ut Ibanez is a wizard and un
^derstands his humanity from A to
Iz^arri.
Andre Chariot Is to produce a very
big and pretentious revue In the fall.
It is to be called "The London Revue
of 1923,” and is to be absolutely
English. Every actor and actress will
be of British persuasion. Chariot has
already engaged Beatrice Lillie, Ger
trude Lawrence and Morris Har
vey, according to the latest reports.
Small Black Dog Serves
as Mother to Young Lion
By .liitHH latcl I'm,,
Berlin, June 23.—Berlin’s zoo is
probably more successful than any
other in the world ns a breeding place
for wild animals. While it lost many
inhabitants during the war, care was
taken to keep pairs, and the cages
are gradually being restocked with
animals born in captivity.
Strange foster families are de
veloped by the keepers, who have
learned the difficulties of compelling
certain mothers to look after their
young under the unnatural conditions
they face In captivity.
A few months ago a fine lion cub
was entrusted to a small black fe
male dog. The young lion is now
live times as large as his foster
Bother and is developing a hei. vy
mane. Still he is as docile as a puppy
and he and the little dog remain on
the best of terms and play about to
gether to the great Joy of visiting
children.

Pekrn to Have
Tram Cars Soon
Attempt to Be Made to Teach
Rickislia Coolies How to
Operate the Cars.
Pekin, June 23.—The transformation
of rickisha coolies into tramway con
ductors may he one of the interest
ing changes in Pekin within the next
few years, if the plans of the Pekin
Electric Tramways company mater
ialize. A recent argument between
this organization and the Pekin
Chamber of Commerce as to what dis
position wilt be fnnde of the unem
ployed coolies once the tramway is a
reality has resulted in the decision
that the coolies themselves must solve
their problem by learning the art of
operating an electric car.
The tramway company has prom
ised to employ just as many coolies
as possible on the tram-lines of
Pekin, provided the coolies undergo
training In operating the street cars
and prove sufficiently honest to be
satisfactory conductors. It is es
timated that a minimum of 5,000
coolies will be out of work in Pekin
alone when the tramway becomes a
reality.

Man Keeps Frogs
Fro m Croaking
Wisconsin Man Refrigerates
Swamp Denizens So They
Won't Worry Neighbors.
Oshkosh, Wis., June 23.—To reach
maturity and the frying pan without
having emitted a single croak- is the
fate of 1,000.000 frogs raised here
each year. The frogs are hatched,
fooled Into thinking it's winter all
the time, fattened and their legs
marketed. Each year 2,000,000 legs
leave here to be browned in butter
and cracker crumbs the country over.
Emil Neuenfeldt is the man who
has made this city probably the
greatest frog city in the country to
day. His "city of frogs" is located in
his diminutive back yard.
The million frogs are kept in con
crete trenches, each Go f- et long and
six feet wide. Each is fitted with a
refrigerating plant and running
water. The frogs are brought in
from nearby creeks and marshes.
During the harvest season as many
as 50 men are employed.
By means of the refrigerating
plant Neuenfeldt leads the frogs to
believe that winter has come. Their
croakings cease at once. They are
fattened and the legs marketed,
without causing neighbours the
slightest inconvenience.

Marked by Fiery
Clashes.
Special Dispatch to The Omaha llee.
Hastings, Neb., June 23.—Punctu
ated repeatedly by fiery clashes be
tween the prosecuting and defense at
torneys the trial of Hr. C. L. Egbert,
for the murder of his son In law,
Charles R. Gordon, Is the most dram
atic ever held here.

ruary 21 in the entrance to her fath
er's home was given by Mrs. Mae
Gordon on the stand this morning.

shot.

revolver from the dining room table
as he advanced to the door to meet
her and her husband after she had
called him from the kitchen, when
went to her former home to get her
clothing.
"I stepped back toward Roy and be
fore I knew what had happened, he
had stepped In front of me, rushed
over to dad and grabbed hold of his
hand and the gun. There was a
Blight struggle between them and the
gun went off twice."

don implying that she had been
coached was a false Insinuation on

judge quelled the lawyers with diffi
culty and threatened to clear the ap
plauding court room.

American "Tut”
Is Sought Here
Ohio Archaeologist Believcg
Early Civilizations Here
Antedate Egyptian.
Columbus, O., June 2S—Prediction
that "a king who will outrival Tut
ankh-Amen, of ancient Egypt, prob
ably, will be found In Central or
South America” has been made by
Dr. William C. Mills, curator of the
Ohio Archaeological and Historical
museum.
“Right here In Ohio the Indians
established cultures that exceeded
In artistic production anything
ever found In Europe,” declared
Dr. Mills, who has made exhaustive
studies of prehistoric man In Amer
ica. He said that Egyptian culture,
splendor and romance were more
than eclipsed In early American
civilization.
“The Spaniards, who came over for
gold shortly after Columbus' expedi
tion, returned with great quantities,”
continued Dr. JlIIIs. "Prehistoric man
lived In Ohio as long as 10,000 years
ago. Because the Ohio Indians had
no form of writing It Is difficult to de
termine Just how long ago they held
sway In this part of the country.
“Some ancient American ruler will
come to light In the midst of a civil
ization as great, or greater, than that
of ancient Egypt,” asserted Dr
Mills.

Beet Farmers Urge
Payment of Bonus
Scottabluff. Neb., June 23.—The Co
Operative Beet Grower*’ association
this week asked the Great Western
Sugar company to make an additional
dollar per ton payment for the last
year's crop of beets, about July 1. If
done, this would bring more than
$600,000 In cash to the farmers of
the North Platte valley.
Officials of the company stated
that they believed a partial payment
at this time would be unwise on ac
count of the present uncertain con
dition of the market, and that the
company would prefer to wait until
the final complete payment was de
termined and make it in one sum.
Farmers have already received $2 a
ton in bonus payments over the $5
guarantee under which the IS22 crop
of sugar beets wa® raiaed.

t’nion congress is planning a ’’back

vor to make up the loss in member
