The Burwood did a very large business, the strength of the play and the excellence of Its presentation drawing full houses at all performances. "The Idler," without solving any problems, tells a story that contains the elements of Inter est and eurprlse, and while it is trite in many of its uxpects, It presents enough of novelty In Its way to provide entertainment. To Miss Elliott It gave u splendid oppor tunity in the role of u charming young woman, sincere ajid earnest, but llght heaiteti and merry, to pluce herself In 1m inlnent danger in an effort to save her husband, in each of tlireo acts she had sienen of intense force, and made much of them.

So it is that we are not surprised to find him ill the field with a brand new dianiaa entlilvd "The Vnwritten Luw," which will be produced In the English provinces and possibly In Lon don early next year. The play develops tho problem of how far a husband la Justi fied in killing a man who has designs upon the happiness of his home. The wife is en tirely blameless In the matter and the hus band's action is In the natuie of a pre vention rather' than a cure or a revenge. Instance of appeal to the unwritten law have not yet made their appearance to any extent in highly civilised England, where wronged husbands have their emotions under such restraint that they prefer to onve from their ciub in a cau ana horse whip the wreckers of their homes to brandishing an automatlo revolver with fatal results. Thus. It Is very evident that although Hall Calne, lu discussing hla new play, says the proLlem is a world-wide una, it is from the Untied States that ho geu hla Inspiration and his answer.

Bhe is mum regarding the Identity of the man whose charms have accomplished this mlraohi. Everybody is guessing, more or less wildly, snd even I believe I know the man's name, but Oenee refuses to admit thai I am correct and I wouldn't dare translate my suspicions into print. Meanwhile Genee's successor has been decided upon. During her sbsence last year Topsy Slnden, a sprightly little home grown - dancer, filled her place, but the London appetite seems to require a foreign morsel. Mile. Lydla Kyaksht, a premiere danseuse at tho Royal opera house, St. Petersburg, has been a feature of the Em pire bill for some weeka past and it waa very evident that the management were taking that means of trying her out. Bhe has ' made good" and has been signed for tiiree years. Quite on the nulet 1 learn that the Empire management hope at the end of that time to rescue Genee from the clutches of Klaw & Erlanger and to re store her onee more to her old place at the top of a bill at the Leicester Square house. On this side of tiie Atlantic at least the promoters of the "millionaire's" the ater In New York m c making themselves ridiculous. First, they feel compelled to come over here for Granville liarkir as stage manager, destlto the fact that there are many competent critics on both sides of the water who are frankly doubtful of his ability and who do not hesitate to express the opinion that he has been grossly overrated. Second and this puts the lid on it, they feel it necessary to come to England for a leading man and woman, and hit upon Useur Asehe and his wife, Lily ill ay ton. Aside from the question of the rrupriety Gf going oui- slde of the United Stales for their play ers, it U extremely doubtful that Asche and Hi as ton would give any measure of satisfaction In tho new theater. The for mer is a fine uctor, hue plenty of ambi tion, lots of ideas, a full measure of cour- ago and excellent training. Lily Hrayton however, Is un entirely different matter there are twenty women in the I'nlteJ Mate who could give her cards and spades and then niaka her look sick be hind the footlights. Asehe ia a big enough man in England to carry ills wife with him, but he neer would be in the New York playhouse, where tne ells criminating audience would not be satis fied with anything but all-ruund ex cellence of cant. One learns with relief that, like Barker, they have refused the tempting offers from New York, . and Asehe says that if lie ever goes to the United mates again it will be under the management of Charles Frohman. who ap pears tohave a prior hold on his serv ices.

JOHN AVA CARPENTER. MOVING riCTlRCS HELP WOMEN Give Easy Work to Maay a SlrncsUas; Actress. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Woman's chances of making a living have been increased by the rise of the blograpli machines. Many a young actress anxiously awaiting an en gagement will agree to this. At the start. when 0110 concern controlled the production of moving pictures In this country, women helpers were not seriously considered in the plans of managers. As a rule when a woman was needed a man donned petticoats and played the part. Even now In a cer tain class of pictures tills is sometimes done. Every year there has been an In creased demand for women to pose and In dications are that the demand will go on Increasing, for instead of one concern in the field there are now fifteen at least. "I need these in my business," explained young woman who was surprised In her bedroom by a visit from a friend. She was working on what looked like a very full pair of bloomers made of coarse Inexpen sive gray flannel, with blouse waist to match. "When do you expect to need anything so uglyr asked the other in surprise. "Next Monday morning, when I shall Jump into the water, strike out for a row boat, clamber In and row off." . "Mercy!" gasped the listener. "What sort of a play are you booked for now? I thought you were not expecting an en gagement for two months to come." Then the other confessed. She was pos ing for moving pictures, and her ability to swim and manage a rowboat had got her tho Job. These talents had not so far been of any particular use to her in her stage career, but supplemented with her stage experience they made her eligible for a moving picture model at a time when a itn flvc-drlljr bills looked tike a fortune to ber. In doing her stunt, she expla n'id, after she and the photographer and his as sistants had Journeyed to an isolated sub urban apot, the young woman would wear the gray flannel suit the full bloomers easily passing for a skirt, especially when water soaked. In scene number two of the aame series she beaches her boat, suppos edly half a mile away, although In reality she only goes a few yards down the shore, Jumps out and runs away. In fact at this Juncture she does make a beellne to a nearby house where dry wearing apparel awaits her. The succeeding scenes of the same series may not be made until the next day and in quite a different part of the country, the length of time required depending a good deal on the cleverness of the posers. This Is another way of saytnf that the average amateur, no matter how accomplished she thinks she is in aquatic exerclsea or how much at home she may be in a boat, is not likely to be favorably re garded by managers for the role of a mov ing picture model. "We haun t time to coach the inexperi enced." explained the head of one moving picture concern. "Moving pictures are pan tomime and to give good pantomime in quires clever actors." As a matter of fact so tremendously varied is the present output of moving pil lules that uvery possible variety of talent can be and is used in their manufacture Women who have never had a chance to do more behind the footlights than move about gracefully and actresses who earn YOUNG MAN:- SATISFACTION is the guarantee given with every Suit or Over coat made by DRESHER,THE TAILOR 1515 FARNAM ST., OMAHA.

All these, and In the aggregate there are several hundreds of them. Jot down by advice of managers in the line under their name any specialty they Imagine the) have, whether it is falling down stairs, fainting, giving a knockout blow, weeping real tears, running, swimming, playing ball, firing a gun, climbing ladders or Jumping out of a window. There is an adage that no woman can be taught hew to run or to throw anything straight, therefore the woman who regis ters as a good runner or ball player us ually finds herself as much in demand as the woman who records that her specialty is Shakespearian roles. What is more to the point, her pay will be equally good. Five dollars a day Is the usual remunera tion received by a moving picture model and often it takes many days to complete a series of pictures, particularly if the scenes are made out of doors and photog raphers and models must travel to soma distant spot. Women engaged by a biograph manufac turer need give no attention to wardrobe or properties of any sort. Every company sets up a property room which Includes a collection of wearing apparel, draperies, sporting goods, musical Instruments and other things which would make any sec ond hand dealer the world over turn green with eny. Therefore, when the eloping young woman is spilled into the stream she wears clothes from the property room. When the sth letic, sure-footed young, woman in the role of thief at a house patty climbs at night out of one window, crawls along a narrow coping high above the ground and into another window she Is done up In pajamas which belong to the property room. Trolley and railroad fares, cai riage and automobile hire are all paid by the manager. Thus the $5 bill handed to each actress the word model is not popu lar with blogtaph employes at tho end of a few hours work Is subject to no de ductions for expenses and none ia uaked to wait for her pay until tho end of the week or until the series of pictures Is finished. To students from the various schools of acting the moving picture business Is a boon. In one case an Impecunious young woman confessing that but f ir the em ployment she got from time lo time with one concern she would have been obliged to give up finishing her couune of study. 'Do you really succeed in getting ac tresses who have played leads in Shake- spearlan rolca to pose for moving pictures';" a manager was asked. "Certainly we do. They are not to be had every day, of course, but at the off seasons when there is nothing doing In their line and no revenue is In sight women who when playing an engagement draw their little $100 or $la0 a week are per fectly willing to register with us. And at any time when we are short of a certain stylo of woman to pose for dramatic pic tures of a high class all we have to do is to advertise the fact and we have more applicants than can be taken rare of. "We have no graded scale of pay, and the woman with a beautiful face gets no more than the plainer woman. Action, not Jocks, is what r"coT'itend a woman for employment with us. and the more experienced the applicant the better chance she lias. Ingenues are not popular wttb biograph managers and novices with no stage ex perb nee have no show at all." KELLY SITS AT KEET OP WAGNER Will Try Make Masl I'aderatooa by the World. NUREMBERG.

ITllHlllHHi WJ''SiJi " miiBli ,.-.,..., 1 ,,i n.Ki..-ir, lllllllll we have ever stayed at, the Englischerhof, and saw our host, the genial Carl Posch, hurrying to us with a choice bouquet of beautiful roses, Just In keeping with that Munich ep rli which Is everywhere present, we could scarcely refrain front a tearful farewell. Dr. Frank Crane saw us off after much gentle Joking with us about our bad taste in traveling when we could have Munich and his company. 11c Is so much taken . up with the place that he will stay there several weeks longer. Two weeks ago we were feasting on Rembrandt pictures in the old Plnakathek, or Picture Repository, when a gentleman stepped up to me and said gravely; "How do you do?" I glanced up from reading a de scription of the "Descent From the Cross" in my catalogue and returned the saluta tion In a half-hearted way, feeling sure that someone had mistaken me for an acquaintance, as so often happena, but on second glance I found beside me Mr. Frank Burkley and his two most charm ing daughters. We were delighted, in deed, at the unexpected meeting and we spent many pleasant hours together. I advised them to secure seats for the pro duction of "Tannhaueser" that night and they were very fortunate In being able to do so. The next day a woman at the hotel offered 10 marks ($2.50) a seat ex tra for three seats and they could not be procured. The presentation of "Tannhaueser" was a most wonderful affair. Maud Fay, an American, sang the part of Elisabeth with good effect at times, especially in the "Prayer to the Virgin." Kraus was tho Tannhaueser, and he was very good, but I have heard better. The main effects, however, were In the wonderful staging and the chorus. In the scene where the Landgrave and knights find Tannhaueser recently leturned from the arms of Venus, the hunting effects were wonderful; the stage gradually became filled with people until one could almost Imagine that the whole city had been hunting; retainers brought deer, boars and other animals, hanging from poles, aetdal products of the taxidermist's skill, and norsea for the knights to mount, and right in front at each side of tho proscenium arch came naaters of the hounds, each with four beautiful hunting dogs held In leash by each bond, making a total of sixteen llv !ng beauties, with their coats pf white spotted wllh black and tan. The riot of gorgeous color in this scene was one to be remembered. But I must only touch on a few points In these works, and so I pass to the "lieis tersingers." Heie was also a triumph in stagecraft. Never shall I forget the cli max of the scene where Beekmesser, the poor, pitiablo town clerk, has been seren ading, and the row breaks out; from the narrow streets poured this guild and that, until the stage was packed with what seemed hundreds of people, moving In kaleidoscopic allurement of color schemes, and bedlam seemed to have broken loose. Knote was the "Walter," In "Hans Sachs." Mr. Felnhala, whom 1 have mentioned in a previous letter, won much distinction; he dtd his work splen didly. "Tristan and Isolde" was wonder fully well produced; the orchestra seemed to rise to its subllmcst heights In this music, and the alnging and acting of the principal characters were exalted. But the "Ring" that was the crowning glory of all. Let no one think, however. liial iicc.ua. the oilier works have butn passed over with slight comment that they were Inferior In any way. No! But 1 have not the time to write about them ado quately; I could fill our columns easily about each one of them. Rut. the "Ring of the Nilxiungs," "Nlhelungen Ring," tlu name given to the four great music dramas captivated me so much that I save my sracc for a sketch of that. The four are Rhelngold," "Walkuere," "Siegfried" snu "Oolterdaeinmerung," or in .English, "The Rhine-Gold," "The Vslkyrs," "Siegfried" and ths "Twilight of the Gods."

So, if you have heard the "Walkuere" and were disappointed be consoled and wait until you hear the complete cycle. " 'The Ring' contains," says the Master, "everything that I am and think." It seems to tne that it Is his philosophy of life. In the "Rhelngold" the Rhine Maidens are gleefully disporting thnise;vea about tie gold which shines gloriously through the depths of the river Th scene Is b yon.1 description; tbe entire stage repre sents the depths of the Rhine; the maidens float and swim and glide (like Annie Rue ssll ss Puck in "Midsummer Night's Dream." or Maude Adams In "Peter Pan"). It seems incredible that such stage mastery is possible. Alberlch, the dwarf, hideous and ugly, makes love to the Rhine Maid ens; they tease him and mako sport of him, but incidentally let go the secret that any one who is so Impossible as to forswear love could wrest the gold and make slaves of the rest of the world.
