"The Golden Girl" ComlnQ.
When the authors wrote "Tho Gold-
fln Girl , " they carved another nlcho
In the ladder of fame. Not that they
"bavo wanted for fume. Not that at
jJl for It was they who wcro Inspired
and wrote "The Prince of Tonight , "
"Tho Flirting Princess , " "Mlsa Nobody -
body Prom Starland" and a score
inoro whoso titles are a byword where- '
oTor good musical plays are known.
In the production that comes to the
Auditorium Wednesday , February 8 ,
Mort H. Slngor has done himself
much credit for "Tho Golden Girl" far
Kiirpasses any other ot his well known
productions In stupendousness , elab
orateness and expensive detail. Much
of the success of the Slngor produc
tions arc duo to the fact that the
mnallor cities are never given "No ,
2" companies. It Is Mr. Singer's Idea
that the best Is none too good and' '
t
BO , when playgoers see a Singer show
bdvcrtlscd , they may purchase tickets
with confidence that they are going to
eo the original and first class produc
tion.
tion.Mr
Mr , Slngor selects his players with
careful observation. The star of "Tho
Golden Girl" Is Miss Leona Watson ,
the beautiful and talented llttlo wo
man who Jumped Into stardom over
night when she created the leading
female role In the original production
of "The Climax , " in Now York City.
Miss Watson will be supported by a
opoclally selected cast which Includes
Zoko Colvln , Lionel Lawrence , Harry
Joynor , Lawrence Bock , Addle Do igh-
rty , Clyde Hall , Earl Mountain , John
Barry and a large company of splendid
players bucked by a beauty chorus of
two Hcore.
This * i < lay ran for 350 performances
in Chicago at Mort H. Singer's theater
and was pronounced by critics of that
city the , most gorgeous of the season ,
"NEW YORK DRAMATIC LETTER.
New York , Jan. 28. Edmund
Breeso , as paradoxical as it may seem ,
is proving a very attractive devil at
the Garrlck theater , .where he has
the leading role In "The Scarecrow. "
The first act la an especially fine one
and Invariably gets a grip upon the
audience that Is retained until the
curtain goes down in the final scene.
The play Is ono of symbolism and Its
author Is Corey Mackaye. Alice
Fischer and Frank Relcher are excellent
,
lent supports for Mr. Breese.
Blanche Bates has lost yye of her
popularity since she assuuu. the comedy -
ody part which dominates "Nobody's
Widow , " at the Hudson theater. Her
performance in the lighter role gives
new evidence of her versatility.
Henry Miller has entered the third
week of his season at the Bijou the-
nter In "The Havoc. " The familiar
triangle Is present in the play , but
by making the husband and his rival
change places and developing the con
sequences the author has constructed
rvn arraignment of divorce.
Elslo Janls in Charles Dlllingham's
new musical comedy production , "The
Slim Princess , " continues her mer
ry reign at the Globe theater. "The
Slim Princess" has established a very
popular court with Joseph Cawthorn
as her chief jester. It is a profession
til Joke that Miss Janis , the "Slim
Princess" has the "fattest" role of hot
career. Incidentally she does a few
imitations , Including one of Bern
bftrdt
"A tense and Interesting drama'
Is what the critics call "Judith Za
raine , " the new play In which Miss
Lena Ashwell Is appearing at the As
tor theater. This is the first time thai
Broadway has seen Miss Ashwell ir
five years. The drama , by C. M. S
McClellan , has Us scenes laid it
Mlnotown , Pa. , which may be taker
as a typo of the localities in which th (
labor situation is most acute. Tin
play Is one of labor troubles , with i
crushing Industrial trust causing al
sorts of trouble. Miss Ashwell ii
supported by Charles Waldron and i
capable company.
"Pomander Walk , " the quaint llttli
play of England In 1805 at Wallack'i
theater , Is the season's theatrical nov
elty. The scene which shows the lit
tie crescent of Queen Anne cottage
"out Chlswick way" Is unique , am
the play has been declared charmlni
by both reviewers and the public.
William Faversham has entered th
second week of his four-weeks' en
gagement at Daly's theater , where h
is presenting "The Faun. " The pla ;
is by Edward Knoblauch and th
theme around which he has woven hi
story is unique. He has introduce' '
as a central character a faun , the go <
of the shepherd , the faun wanderln ;
Into London society , where he meet
and mingles with all classes , endea\
ors to reform them all and cause
trouble by his blunt and outspoke
comment. He straightens out thing
in the end , however , a hopelessly et
tangled love story being Include
among the difficulties.
At the Lyric theater Paul Arn
strong and Wilson Mlznor's drama c
the Now York underworld , known a
"Tho Deep Purple , " Is on view. Ricl
ard Bennett , Jameson Leo Finney , M
J. Ferguson , Enunett Corrigan , Ad
Dwyer and Catherine Calvert head
splendid cast.
"The Gamblers" continues Its ver
Euccessful run at Maxlno Elliott's thi
ator. Charles Klein's gripping dram
of bank manipulation stands well i
the hond of this season's serious plays
and will undoubtedly remain for HOV-
oral months.
The repertoire at the Now Theater
this week Includes "Vanity Pair , "
" " " " The
"SlHter Beatrice" and "Don.
management of the New Theater has
received many letters of commenda
tion for Inviting Miss Marie Tempest
to appear as guest artist In special
productions of "Vanity Pair. "
Ethel Darrymoro has entered on her
fourth week in Plncrc's delightful
comedietta , "Trelawney of the
'Wells , ' " at the Empire theater. The
play is perhaps Plncrc's greatest and
it is well acted. Miss Barrymore Is
supported by a distinguished com
pany ot players.
"Rebecca of Sunuybrook Farm" Is
enjoying u prosperous career at the
Republic theater. It Is a simple , clear
story. Edith Tallfcrlo has the name
part.
The Now Amsterdam theater still
has the musical play "Madame Sher
ry" for a tenant. The play has pass-
cd Its 250th performance and there Is
no abatement In Its popularity.
Emmy Wohlen , the fascinating lit-
Viennese , has become the fashion at
the Casino where "Marriage a la
Carlo" Is the offering. Her singing
and acting do much to enhance the
popularity of this English play.
The Hippodrome Is now in the mid
dle of Its prosperity with the three
spectacles , "The Ballet of Niagara , "
"The International Cup" and "The
Earthquake. " In addition there is a
circus consisting of twelve features
which would make a complete after
noon or evening's entertainment with
out the spectacles , and vice versa.
"Alma , Where Do You Live ? " Joe
Weber's lively musical comedy of Par
isian life , Is nearing Its 150th performance -
' ance , with Truly Shattuck and Joe
' McCloskey continuing as the dramatic
I and vocal features.

WIFE A BUSINESS PARTNER.
Give Married Woman Equal Chance
to Earn , Prof. Zueblln Says.
New York , Jan. 28. Suppose you
are a man with a thousand dollar in-
como.
And suppose your wife Is a woman
with a million dollar personality.
What are you going to do about It ?
That's the question being asked by
Prof. Charles Zueblin , formerly of the
University of Chicago , at present a
lecturer and writer on social and ec
onomic topics , who has just brought
out a book here called "Democracy
and the Overman. "
i Professor Zueblin has a solution ,
"The woman should simply be given
i an equal chance with the man to earn
I the money her intellectual and social
possibilities may require , " he asserted
I "Children , church and kitchen nc
longer monopolize the energies of the
modern healthy woman. There Is nol
enough domestic work for all of wo
man's time , any more than there is
agricultural work for man.
1 "Wives now have no claim upon anj
definite sum ; they are dependent upor
the generosity of their husbands
There are millions of women whose
capacity Is never tested , because thej
are the recipients of charity. Th (
1 charity may be disguised by the lov (
. of a devoted husband , but they an
'
j still stunted by a patriarchal admlnis
tratlon.
"There is no question but that thi
i average woman is the inferior of th <
. ' average man In development. Bu
1 1 that Is the woman's misfortune , no
i ] her fault. She must bo given tin
j same control of her life as man en
joys. She must receive her wages.
"The majority of women have ti
marry , " declared Professor Zuoblln
"Most of them , happily , wish mar
rlage , but there is no opportunity fo
deliberate choice.
"Women should not be forced ti
marry a financial lord and master , bu
their marriage should mean enterini
a business partnership. Then rein
tlous after marriage would be indefl
a j initoly more pleasant. There Is Httli
1 fellowship between many marriei
5 couples. This is primarily due to th
husband's monopoly of the pockel
book. The beginnings of marital in
rest are in the concealment of a man'
thoughts , due to his conviction tha
the dependent domestic creature wh
shores his home has had no tralnin
to share his economic experiences. "

Round About
NEW YORK
New York , Jan. 28. Due honor will
bo paid to a useful , if wcalthq , citi
zen next Tuesday night , when some
of the greatest men of the nation will
Join In a birthday banquet given In
honor of Nathan Straus , the Jewish
philanthropist. President Taft has
accepted an invitation to attend the
dinner , and the committee of arrange
ments Includes distinguished men In
all walks of life and of all national
ities and religions. Among them are
Andrew Carnegie , William G. McAdoo ,
August Belmont , Charles M. Schwab ,
W. Burke Cockran , Lloyd C. Grlscoui ,
Charles P. Murphy , Herman Bidder
and Comptroller Pendergast. The oc
casion will mark the sixty-third birth
day of the millionaire merchant , and
will serve as a testimonial of the
city's and nation's appreciation of the
work ho has done In saving the lives
of the poor. It may bo remarked , In
passing , that this work of mercy has
not been hounded by racial or relig
ious lines. When San Francisco was
shaken by earthquake and menaced
by flames , sent up a cry for help , B.
W. Brown , managing editor of the
Louisville Times , and then head of
the Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks , was the first to respond ,
pledging his order to a large sum
which was to be expended , VNot for
Elks for everybody. " In the same
spirit Nathan Straus has sought to
alleviate the Ills and save the lives of
New York's children "Not for Jews
alone , but for everybody. " Consider
ing such exhibitions of broad liberal
ity and wide human sympathy , the
most bigoted exponent of Illiberality
may discern that Jews are human ,
and that the Klks , although some of
them have been known to drink beer ,
are kindly at heart.
The work of supplying pure milk
to the children of the tenements , first
undertaken by Mr. Straus , resulted
almost Immediately in the great de-
I crease In the death rate among the
I Infants of the east side. Despite this
i fact , an influential newspaper bitter
ly and persistently attacked Mr.
Straus , with the result that last sum
mer he announced that he would no
longer take'the full responsibility for
carrying on the philanthropy. Since
then the matter has been taken up by
a number of influential men and wo-
mean , headed by Mrs. J. Borden Har-
riman. At least sixty sttaions for the
distribution of milk will be maintain
ed next summer , and at each station
physicians and nurses will be on hand
to give personal advice to mothers as 1
to the care of their infants. It Is said
that fifty dollars will cover the cost
of giving a child pure mik , the care 1
of a physician and the supervision of
a nurse for one year less money , it -
Is pointed out , than it costs to bury a
baby.
Nathan Straus is one of three broth'
ers who came to this country with 1
their parents in 1S54. All three have
since attained fame and wealth. The
first home of the Straus family In
this country was at Talbottom , Ga
The elder brother , Isidor since as
sociated with Nathan In the owner
ship of great department stores in
Manhattan and Brooklyn returned tc
Europe during the civil war to act as
assistant purchasing agent of steam
ers and supplies for the confederate
government. Nathan Straus securet
his education in a New York business
college , and his first commercial ven
ture was as an importer of potterj
and glassware. He is a democrat am
was nominated for mayor of New
York In 189-1 , but declined. The
younger of the brothers , Oscar Solo
mon , chose the law as a profession
and in 1906 entered Roosevelt's cab
net as secretary of commerce and la
bor. With the inauguration of Presi
dent Taft he relinquished that port
'olio , but was soon afterward appoint
ed ambassador to Turkey.
William E. Corey's retirement a !
president of the United States Stee
corporation will probably Immediate :
ly follow the meeting of the board o
directors to be held next Tuesday. Al
though it has been rumored that Mr
Corey will form a copper trust , thi :
report is given little credence , am
and It is likely that the financier wil
spend a year or two in Europe , mere ,
ly resting , before resuming any busl
ness cares. Just how many million
Mr. Corey has put away against i
rainy day , such as next Tuesday prom
Ises to be , is not definitely known
It is unlikely , however , that the wol
will do any knawing at the Corey dooi
Mrs. Corey is not likely to weep eve
her husband's retirement from busi
ness. The former actress who sue
ceeded to the affections of the stec ,
trust magnate , after his first wife hai
been legally put away , has not foum
breaking into New York society ai
easy matter. Indeed , she Is as mud
an outsider as on the day after sli
had promised to love , honor and obe
William E. Corey. Paris is not s
exclusive , and Mrs. Corey owns a fin
old chateau near the French capita
which is a port of call for some c
the very best people of Paris.
James A. Parrell , the prospectlv
new president of the steel trust , 1
what Is usually termed a "self-mad
man. " He is now about 48 years e

nine years of toll in the Connectict
metropolis , ho went to Plttsburg , an
at the end of six years In that clt
found himself general manager of th
Pittsburg Wire company. Ho onto

Is the general selling agency of tb

ago. In that short period ho has gain

ers of the steel trust to so great
an extent that he has become the log

At a Dinner Last Night Brady Was
Ablaze With $575,000 Worth.
New York , Jan. 28. James B.
Brady , better known as "Diamond
Jim" Brady , gave a dinner last night
to several of his American and Eng
lish friends at the Waldorf hotel. For
'
several years prior to 1908 he was the
owner of a number of the speediest
I
I thoroughbred horses on the American
turf. The first object that attracted
attention as Brady entered the oak
finished hull at the Waldorf was a
10-rnrat stone which blazed from a
dark green tie. From this glowing
searchlight one's eye naturally drop
ped to n perpendicular row there
were six altogether , of 5-carat stones
serving as vest buttons.
I "Why , Jim , you haven't a thing on
today ? " observed ono of his friends
as the host dropped his ponderous
weight in an armchair.
"No , " returned the man of dla-
' monds. "But maybe you have not
seen it all. " Suiting the actor to the
word , ho threw back his coat , expos
ing a diamond studded chain , to one
J cud of which was attached a massive
gold watch , heavily set with u-carat
( stones. In a waistcoat pocket was a
gold pencil , In the end of which was
. sot a white stone almost as big as a
, small heni'i In his cuffs were golden
'cuff links , each of which spoiled an
8-cnrut btone , four all told ,
i "And now , " he continued , "I'm go
ing to show you something really
handsome , " so he unbottoned his
waistcoat and uncovered a diamond
studded belt with a buckle that fair
ly blazed with l-carat stones , set off
in the center by a headlight that
weighed ten carats. Mr. Brady likes
to talk of his gems , which are his
hobby. He lias eleven sets altogeth
er , which have an aggregate value of
$575,000.

s i The original plan called for a struc

The Well Dressed
WOMAN
New York , Jan. 28. One would
hardly imagine that shirred effects' '
woulel be popular with the modes so |
clinging In effect , but they arc. Lines
are never too attenuated to reject
the shirring as a consort , The amal
gamation Is always congenial , for the
fashionable materials arc so sheer
and soft that oven seven rows of the
trimming add nothing to their bulk.
Then there la no trimming more
self-sufficient than is shirring. Ap
propriate alike for skirt and bodice ,
yoke or sleeves , It is quite independent
dent of any aid , unless ono really
wishes to add more than one form of
ornamentation to a frock. With mid
summer in our midst , as far as the
display of smart fabrics Is concern
ed , there are several smart models
just from Paris that ring in shirring
as their chief decorative scheme.
A notable design notable for Its
simplicity as well as its chic comes
from one ot the fashionable French
winter resorts. * It is an afternoon
dress of delicate lemon colored chiffon
fen cloth built over changeable taf
fetas , the foundation combining a
deep orange and pale pink in its col
or scheme. The skirt Is narrow , but
there Is a suggestion of gauging about
the waist line slightly above normal.
At the knees there is a deep flounce
shirred onto the upper part with a
heading of doubled French net. The
stitching of the shirring Is disguised
by narrow folds of burnt orange vel
vet , which affords a striking touch of
contrast to the combination of colors.
In fact , one of the distinguishing fea
tures of the model is the color scheme.
The bodice is out In one piece with
the sleeves , reflecting the popular
kimono effect and here again the
bands of orange velvet appear , there
being two rows running up to the
bust line at the front , but down to
meet the girdle at back , suggesting
n row of pufllng. Suggestive decora
tions , ono might call them for want
of a better term , are to play an Im
portant part in the ornamental
scheme of spring and summer modes ,
After all , bands and stltchlngs of
various kinds are capable of more in-
flnito variety of treatment than any
other decorations and their effective
ness Is unquestioned. When they can
not be applied In the literal sense ,
then ingenious dressmakers simulate
them with sucli fine trimmings as pin
soutache , silk veining , etc. , with an
effect quite as desirable as the bands
themselves. This also holds good in
the case of puffings , for it Is an easy
matter to group rows of braid or nar
row bands of silk and velvet to give
them the appearance of independent
applications of puffing.
In addition to the shirring the afternoon -
! ternoon frock in question lias the
round neck filed in with a guimpe of
bebe crochet and undersleeves of the
same handwork , stitched upon a back
ground of sheerest linen. There are
so many ailk muslins of Inexpensive
design and in splendid colorings , that
' . it is unnecessary to suggest to the
women accustomed to contriving the
j possibilities of reproducing this model
' i in mateiials and trimmings easily
; j within the scope of her dress allow-
ance.
Black which has been in demand
for house frocks for functional uses , ,
is "coming back" for street wear , i
landsome satin and silk finished cloth
in black being employed for simple
street frocks for morning and after
noon wear. There seems to be a gen
eral tendency toward gauging or a
suggestion of fulness of some sort
about the waist line of many spring
dresses. This note is struck again In
a chic design in cachmire de sole , hav
lug the skirt made with a tunic which
droops in a directoire point at one
side and trimmed otherwise only witli
an ecru guitnpe of hand embroidercei
batiste.
Striped and moire effects in silks
are worn extensively on the Rlvora
at Palm Beach , Augusta and Aiken
They are trimmed with narrow folds
of corded silk or very lustrous satin
put on with the general idea of preserving
serving the "flat" effect in the deco
rative achievements of the models.
Among the Inexpensive cottons , the
nliarm of design and coloring is as
r ubiquitour as among the more expen
. sive stuffs. Much la done with the
soft yellow or buff tones comblnec
with white which came to the from
r
last season and are not only chic foi

spring wear , but look cool for sum
mer , even when the fabric lias a lit
tie wool interwoven with silk or lin
en. The designers have shown a grea
liking for cordure arrangements will

next to the selvage , with flowered o
other fanciful border above , and aomi
especially charming things of thi
character are white chiffons of slice :
silky cottons with black border , am
above this a deep border in jewelliki
oriental tones , marvellously blendci
but not in what we have been accus
totned to call Persian designs.
e Many of the new foulards shov
narrow borders , as did the late sen
son foulards last summer , and ther
are some foulards and crepcllke sum
mer silks woven in designs of 42-incl
squares witli the border runnln
around the whole square which ar
stunning in color and design , bu
would drive an ordinary dressmake
Into green and yellow melancholj
such puzzling problems do they pre
it sent. Embroidered white suisbes a
0 those of white ground embroldere
in dots or sprigs ot delicate color an
narrowly bordered In a floral desig
of the same delicate color are amen
the prettiest of the bordered cottom
and there are delightful striped hi
tlstes with similar narrow borders.
The dimities , always serviceabl
and cool looking If not M > mitt IIH the
voiles and mcrccrlzi'd cottons , are cer-
talnly prettier than they over have
been. Hosts of dainty floral deslgiiH
mostly of diminutive slzu are xhown.
but perhaps tlio smartest of the dim !
ties this season aio ot the striped
and dotted patterns , and en en hero
ono catches gllmpai's of the bordered
effects In some form or other.
For the woman who likes ginghams
particularly for morning wear , there
are peculiarly pretty green and white
and violet and white effects ampng
the now effects , while certain combi
nations of lavender with soft blues
and lavender with subdued pinks or
cerise tones echo lines of coloring
prominent In tlio winter frocks. Lin
ens so far , show nothing new save
certain colorings which were now this
winter and consequently not Included
In last summer's linens. There arc
many of the buff , gold , tawney yellow
and brown tones , and here the
warmth of color of which ono hears
so much In connection with the yel
lows frequently is in evidence.
For house gowns and lingerie de
signs there arc sheer materials made
up In the most lovely designs , though ,
bore , as in the street and evening
frock , simplicity seems to bo In de
mand. Quantities of lace and em
broidery , the latter put on in border
effects are shown upon the latest neg
ligees from Paris , and no matter how
simple a model may be Its cost
mounts up mountain high when an
estimate is put upon the hand work
embodied In the ornamentation. The
only hope of the poor woman is Iml
tatlon laces and machine made em
broideries.
News Man Visited Taal Volcano.
Taal volcano Is located on the Island
of Taal in the Batangas province of
the Philippine Islands. The island Is
located In the center of Lake Taal and
about 100 miles from Manila. To a
member of the Norfolk News staff ,
who visited the volcano on a number
of occasions , it seems strange that the
smoke from this volcano can bo seen
from the city of Manila , owing to the
fact that largo mountains ohscuro It
from the metropolis ot the Islands.
The eruptions must have Indeed been
great that the smoke could be seen at
I such a distance.
I Lake Taal Is probably one of the
prettiest lakes in the Philippines and
Its wooded shores provide some of the
I
best pheasant hunting in the country
J It was this game which brought The
" News man to the volcanic region oil
one of the occasions. The cone of the
I main crater of Taal volcano rises
j mountain shaped , very high In the skj
and it takes about an hour's climb to
reach the summit and mouth of the
' crater after an equally long march
through heavy forests.
The sight which presented itself to
, The News man from the top of the
crater on this occasion was both beau
tlful and awe-inspiring.
I As far as the eye could see was the
great yawning crater , the pit itself ii
the widest place measuring over one
mile. Along the walls of this crater
were beautiful color effects from the
lava , which had cooled off years ago
and formed into fantastic shapes. At
about the center of this large pit was
a smaller volcano in which could be
seen the boiling lavas , and outside of
this were a number of small colored
lakes formed of various chemicals.
Theie is a red , blue , black , green and
white lake in different parts around
the crater.
Each colored lake was , however , visited -
ited and it was found that the water
in each , with the exception of the
black lake , was ice cold. The water In
i the black lake , which was the nearest
to the small crater , was hot and was
formed of lava and boiling water escaping -
. caping from the small volcano. The
summit of this volcano was reached
; and it was impossible to hear the
i voice on account of the terrific noise
made by the boiling lava. Large
1 stones were occasionally cast high in
the air , and at one time the companion
i of The News man was overcome by
' . the fumes fanned in his direction by
the wind.
!
Although it was early morning when
'
the trip was made into the crater ,
| darkness had set in before the explorers -
' ers reached the top of the main crater ,
1 where the frightened Filipinos await'
ed them.
It was the small \olcano within' the
> large one which Saturday stalled op
erations , and it is this volcano which
tourists go for many miles to bee
Taal volcano Is considered the pret
! tlest volcano in the world , but the inhabitants -
. habitants of villages in its neighbor
hood have been constantly in fear thai
it would awaken after many years ol
\ silence. The last eruption of this vol
cano , which took place many years
ago , did very much damage , covering
a number of villages , killing their in
j
habitants and destroying much stock
Today can be seen in its vlclnit\
P
a marks of the last eruption , whlcl
formed the beautiful lake around it.
r i Sergeant John Gamble , a veteran o
j the Spanish-American war , employee
B as janitor in The News building , was
j once a visitor to this volcano and al
, . though It was not his fortune to ex
plore the crater , lie lias often vlewei
v the smoke coming from Its mouth ui
he stood In his camp on the other sldi
L-
of the lake.

1.1 After filling canteens with sufllclen
ti drinking water The News man and hi
g companion descended into the moutl
'
e of the crater , leaving Filipino escorts
it who were too frightened by the sight ti
r go any further behind to guard othe
r , provisions. The descent was ver ;
3easy but required over a half houi
T The way to the smaller crater wa
d somewhat dlfllcult. The wind whlcl
d found Its way into the enormous can \
n ity brought the gaseous and sulphurl
g fumes directly toward the two exploi
s , ers , forcing them to retreat a numbe
iof times. The paths were also ol
structed by streams of lava and vltrc
e ponds.
