May Get Woodruff.
Norfolk may get to see Henry Wood
ruff In "Tho Genius , " a now Mori
Singer song coniedy success.
Playgoers will bo asked to say whether
thor they want the show or not , ami
If they want It sufficiently to Insure
the big guarantee that the company
requires , the show will coma on Fri
day , November 25 , the day after
Thanksgiving. '
Henry Woodruff's fame Is known to
nil American playgoers , ho having
mndo n lasting plnco for himself In
his grent work r.s the star In , "Brown
of Harvard. " Ho lufa played leading
roles in n number of other big suc
cesses. Norfolk would bo lucky to
got him.
In cnso Norfolk people say they
want this big musical comedy , this
city and territory will see n show
worth whllo. It will bo n delightful
treat In the kind of an attraction that
Not folk most likes.
"Tho Genius" Is a comeiiy y Wil
liam and Cecil Do Mllle and with ten
tinkling musical nuniborH supplied by
Paul Rubens. The play Is staged by
William Post. Dances were arranged
by Harry 1'llcer. ' A great many things
mvo1 boon iiceompllHlicd In the build
ing and presentation uf "Tho Gen
ius. " Primarily , onn Is taken Into
.ho thoughtless , cheerful , generous at-
uosphero of that country of which
Prague Is the capital ; that country
where hearts beat thio and hands
; rasp linn the golden , infectious land
if Bohemia. The treatment of the
.homo Is magnetic , seeming to pre
sent an old-story In brighter , more
graceful colors , with that story al
ready llrmly intrenched in the heart
) f that great army where the watch
word Is goodfellowshlp. Again , It Is a
sharp , pointed satire on several things ,
mil principally on that class which
thinks In solitude of the earthly and
lihysleal. and parades to the world the
spiritual , the el boreal and falsely tem
peramental , when , if nuked to tell Just
what It all meant , limy would , In plain
words , bo "up against It. "
As a play , It la one of the brightest
: ui7l happiest nntured offerings of the
1910 season. It is also one of the
most gracefully and symmetrically
touched stage pictures whore real hon
est living Is the subject of the portrait
trait and the colors of sweet , tender
c.cntimciil arc used in the drawing.
It is not seriously drawn , never fern
n moment heavy or problematic ; there
Is not a note to jar or any angle to
mar the smoothness. But there arc
lines that rub out the wrinkles for the
tlmebelng , situations that find a laugh
giving way to happily steady Inter
est , and the simplest , truest little
touches of heart interest hero and
llieru to make the blend as symmetri
cal as It is satisfactory. In a word , it
is the sort of play that makes one.
forgot about time passing and feel a
sort of mingled surprise and regret
when , at the end , : i glance at the
watch reveals what the hour really
Is. It Is the sort of play built to put
people in a good humor and to con
vince ono that a clean , wholesome pro
duction can bo just as popular as the
other kind ; a play that one Is ready
to accept na real.
The story of the play is of a young
follow an overy-day sort of a good
follow with a big heart , a good-sized
hank account and little love for the ar
tistic , strictly construed. He thinks
ho loves a girl whose only thought In
life Is of genius and the temperament
al. Ho conceives the happy idea of
paying a little coterie of artists a
musician , a painter and a sculptor
to let him pose as a genius , put his
name to all their works , and then
when ho has become famous , as his
position will make him , to let them
reap the benefit. The plan succeeds ,
and too well , for not only does hp be
come famous , but ho falls In love
with the beautiful model In the studio
and also wins the other girl's love
when he least wants it. How ho fin
ally gets the girl of his heart Is pret
tily told , giving a conventional but
happy ending to the play.
"St. Elmo" Monday Night.
"St. Elmo" dramatized from the
novel of that name , is one of the
brand new o/Terings / of the theatrical
season. With exceeding care , Miss
Grace Hayward , who gave "Graustark"
to the stage , lias transformed Augusta
Evans-Wilson's powerful novel into a
touching play. Her deft treatment of
the dramatic Incidents with which the
book is filled to the brim has made it
possible to visualize the characters In
a way that will delight every theater
goer. It is to be presented hero by a
company of ability Monday night. A
cordial reception is assured for the
reason that the book itself retains tea
a largo degree Its great popularity !
Prices 25 cents to $1. It will interest
theater-goers to know that the llrst
presentation of "St. Elmo" was made
by Miss Hayward , herself , In Lincoln ,
Neb. , a few weeks ago. It was received
with wirm praise , In fact , every ex
pectation of the dramatist and pro
ducer was realized.
"The Flower of the Ranch. "
Norfolk people who did turn out for
the good show that came to town last
night , "Tho Flower of the Ranch , " saw
a musical comedy that was delicious
in every detail. The abundance of
empty seats , however , caused some
curiosity as to whether Norfolk really
wants good shows.
"The Flower of the Ranch" was
written by Joseph E. Howard , enough
said. The chorus was the host looking
one that has como to town In a good
long while and the music had a ginger
nnd dash to It that was contagious.
The voices were excellent and the
comedy was wholesome , spontaneous
and entirely different. It was alto
gether a remarkably good show and
the stay-at-homo ( who sometimes has
a good deal of blaso criticism to offer
about the theatrical attractions that
they get to see ) missed a ton-st1'1 ' .
Jess Harris is different front uuj
comedian you over saw. He's a born
one. And ho does his work so cleverly
nnd so Intelligently ns to deserve high
rank. Ills make-up was unique nnd
every move of his face or of his an
gular limbs caused a laugh. Ho kept
the audience in good humor through
out the entire performance.
Miss Nolllo Walters as "Flower"
was polite and pretty nnd has n got-
up-nnd-go spirit that makes her acting
most attractive.
John E. Frank , ns Mr. Farnum , was
good looking and an exceptionally
good singer.
There were n lot of nifty novelties
In the chorus work that mndo n hit
and the chorus girls wore young nnd
pretty.
The company's own orchestra gave
; additional tone to the evening's outer-
tnlumenl.
Audiences as n Test.
Unwittingly , an audience witnessing
a ploy Informs the playwright where
the Interest sags. They do this In
dlffoiont ways. By loaning back In
their seals , looking around to see who
Is In the holme , conversing with their
companions , but I ho best storm signal
Iti the cough. When quite some con
siderable coughing is heard , then the
playwright anil the odors know that
the piece Is dragging and Nagging.
Oil the llr.st night of a play , the
author , with his note book , seated In
Nome inconspicuous part of the house ,
keeps labs on the coughs , and limned-
lalnly nfler the performance takes his
manuscript , and with his "coughing
notes" primps his play by bluo-poncll-
ing , superfluous dialogue , or eliminat
ing slluntloviB that did not seem to
appeal. ,
There Is not another playwright on
the American stage who la ns keen In
picking out the defects In his play on
a first night performance ns James
Forbes , the author of "Tho Chorus
Lady" and "Tho Traveling Salesman , "
ami who lately scored his third can-
secitllvo success In "Tho Commuters , "
now running nt the Criterion theater ,
New York , with one company , and
nuolhor which opens in Chicago , nt
Powers' theater , on October III ) . Mr.
Forbes .says ho has no foolish fancies
against mutilating his brain children
that ho writes plays to please the
public , and unless they please they
arc bound to fail. An author who
seeks success must cater to every
whim , oaprlco and demand of the play-
going public. In order to do this lie
must eliminate his personal feelings ,
and consider those.of the people who
pay their money to see a show. For
four weeks 'after ' a ForbeH play has
been produced tlio author watches It
every night , and carefully schedules
ita reception where the laughs come
In , how many were received , etc. , con
stantly keeping In touch with the play
ers , talking to them each night before
the curtain goes up , changing the
reading of the lines , entrances and
exits , and shifting the "business , " until
finally ho has his play so that it runs
on railroad schedule. This policy per
haps , has done much to make Mr.
Forbes the feuccessfnl playwright that
ho is , and made his batting average
as a writer 1,000 percent.

Reduce Size of Money.
Washington , Oct. 29. Secretary
MncVeagh's proposal to reduce the
slzo of paper money has progressed tea
a point where the problem of workIng -
Ing out n plan for a uniform national
bank note. Is a serious ono. A com
mittee is soon lo make a report with
some recommendations. It is safd to
bo Impracticable ) to reduce the slzo
of the government's ctiriency without
reducing national bank notes to the
Kimo size. If that bo possible * , It is
declared the 7,000 national banks of
the United States could save $200,000
a year lu addition ( o the $900,000 the
government expects to save. It will
j require ) an act of congress , to change
JUio winding now upon national bank
notes , and that In necesHary before
the nl/o can bo reduced.
MILLIONS LOST BY UNCLE SAM
New York , Oct. 29. Another nlleged
leakage In the customs service , AVhoro-
by It Is estimated that duties ranging
Into millions have been diverted 'from
the federal treasury , la being Investi
gated by William Loeb , jr. , collector of
the port. The inquiry deals with re
bates allowed the Importers of fruits
on shipments reported as decayed or
unlit for market. Owing to the fact
that the number of Inapedora wast too
small to permit a complete Investiga
tion of all cargoes , an agreement was
reached some tlmo ago between Im
porters and Urn customs olllclnls
whereby If an allowance for decay
wan claimed an Inspection of only 5
percent of the cargo was made and
the percentage of decay found In thin
portion alone applied to the entire
cargo. It is now clalmetl that fro-
quotilly Iho rebates thus allowed were
excessive.
Rebates on lemons nro said to rep
resent the greatest loss , and unolllcinl
estimates of the amount , turned from
the treasury on thla Item alone , slnco
the McKInley tariff law became effec
tive , range from $1,500,000 to if.P.OOO-
000. The duty , paid on lemons since
