Prisoner Breaks Jail But
Comes Back Again to Eat
Point Pleasant, W. Va., Jan. 21.
When a man breaks out of jail it
is usually with the intention of stay
ing away from it, but the rule doe3
not Ripply to Strother Colley of this
county, who escaped from the Mason
county jail here two months ago. He
. was sentenced to a four months'
term for sending a threatening let
ter through th mails.
The other night Sheriff John F.
Lewis was croused from his bed by
the ringing of the jail doorbell. He
responded and was surprised to find
Colley standing there. Colley said
he had come back to eat. He had
wandered over several states sin';?
Heaving the jail, had been unable to
obtain employment and was also un
able to get "three squares" a day.
Colley had three months of his sen-
1 tence to serve and he figured it was
easier to eat by staying in jail than
toaming the country.
Only a Few Indians Rich;

Washington, Jan. 21. A majority
of the 330,000 Indians in America,
remnants of once powerful tribes,

life, according to the American
Indian Arts and Crafts foundation.
The foundation asked " public sup

for all needy tribes.
"It is far from true that Indians
are wealthy," said a statement from
the foundation. "The Osage tribe in
Oklahoma is wealthy from oil found
on its reservation. But the Osagcs
number only 2,100. A few other In

New York, Morris Ost has rewarded
her with a three yrr' contract.
Furthermore, Mia I.orlrr is the
ftpecial profile of Michel fokine,
the celebrated matter of the dartre
nd formerly director of the Imperial
ISallrt school of IVtrograd. .Although
an American girl, born in Brooklyn,
Mt Lorbcr was selected by Mr.
I'ukine as the bct of the American
gills who have come under his ob
servation, and she has had the benefit
of his eprrtal tuition, in the hope
that she will develop into a premier
tuueer of such talent that perhaps
ithe may equal the accomplishments
of his best known pupil, the tamed
1 nvlowa.
Miss Lorher, a beautiful and ilcn-
iter young girl, was just 14 years of
age on the I lilt of last June. Mie
was graduated from the (iirls High
school in llrooklyn in 1917, and it
was at that time that she began look
ing towards the stage as a means of
livelihood. Morris Out was re
hearsing "The Wanderer" at the
Manhattan Opera hoiti-e then, and
Alexis Kosloff, who Maged the ballet,
advertised for dancing girls. Miss
Lorher applied, was engaged, and
made her stage debut in the ballet of
"The Wanderer" in February, 1917.
The principal dancer of the bailet
was F.kiiteriua Calanta, the beautiful
Russian girl who had come to
America for the series of Russian
ballets given at the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York. She took
a great fancy to Martha I-orber and
itoon adopted her as a pupil. In this
way. Miss Lorher became acquainted
with the Russian school of dancing,
which fact probably led to her later
acceptance as a pupil of the great
l okme. At any rate. hen Oalant
suddenly departed for South America
with the Diaghilcff ballet, Mr, Oest
placed this 16-year-old pupil in the
role of the principal dancer of "The
andcrer, and as such she went on
tour for a year, being accompanied
on a trip to the Pacific coast by her
mother.
A year later. Miss Lorber became
the principal dancer of "Chu Chin
Chow," also on tour. When she re
turned at the end of that season, she
told Mr. Cest she felt she deserved a
New Y ork engagement.
"All right I'll introduce you to
Fokine." said Mr. Gest. "but remem
ber. he is a Russian and very strict.
and perhaps he will not accept you
because you are an American girl.
However. Mr. Fokine did accept
her. Perhaps he recognized some of
the Russian steps that Oalanta had
taught Miss Lorber, for he smiled
and said: "Wc shall see." - ,
Then, bit by bit, he taught her the
difficult steps of the ballet and the
bacchanale which have been such
notable features ofN "Mecca." When
the night of the premiere came, the
rsew York critics found an absolute
ly unknown name on the program as
the onncipal dancer Martha Lorber.
It was her metropolitan debut, and to
say that she made a sensation is to
put it mildly. She took one big cur
tain call, with rokine holding ner
hand and refusing a rousing reccp
tion.
Now Fokine declares that of all the
American t'irls he has seen in this
country, Martha Lorber looks to him
the "best bet" for developing a great
American dancer.
"I can scarcely understand how it
has all happened," said Miss Lorber
recently. I simply dance because I
love to dance and Mr. Fokine is
such a great man, he scarcely seems
to be teaching you at all, and yet he
shows you everything and makes it
so easy to dance.
Since the opening night of "Meo
ca," Miss Lorbcr has had about two
dozen offers from vaudeville and
other managers, but she has refused
them all. "I will stay with 'Mecca,' "
she savs, simply. "Mr. Gest cave
me mv chance, and there is no in
structor like Fokine. I stay with
'Mecca.'"

He Shows the
Girls How to Wear
. Their Glad Rags
Julian Eltinge, delineator of
feminine types, is coming to the
Orpheum theater as its principal at
traction this week. There is only
one Eltinge. Mr. Eltinge in the
theater is regarded as a drawing card
of a particular type. Women are
eager to see the new creations he in
troduces and how artistically he
wears them, and men are curious to
see how he does it. To the latter
class this accomplishment still re
mains a mystery, for such artists as
Julian Eltinge are not seen often.
His skill is portraying the graces
and poise of feminine elegance is
remarkable. Never ill at ease and
always presenting a picture wonder-
iul to behold, Mr. Eltinge, is the
personification of grace itself. His
hands are a study. He uses them to
more picturesque advantage than
any type of feminine expert at this
art. With an ostrich fan, a clumsy
accessory to any woman's toilette
at best, he demonstrates a swagger
freedom and ease that make its
presence an important and highly ef
fective part of his tout-ensemble.

romance by Zelda Bears and Harold Levy,
which is coming to the Brandela theater
for tour nights, beginning this evening,
with the popular Wednesday matinee,
after playing more than 300 times at the
Liberty theater, New Torlt.
The musical numbers in - "Lady Biliy"
reach a high standard of ltght operatic
melodlcart. Mltzi has some delightful
numbers for her sweetly thrilling soprano
voice, and also does some imitations in
her Inimitable style, which needless to say

play to be presented at the BrandciH
theater, Friday and Saturday nights and
Saturday matinee, Is almost In a class by
Itself. Victor Herbert is responsible for
the score. The comedy is far and. away
above the average, and it is one of the best
dancing shows of the year. "Angel Face,"
a demure and flirtatious girl, contrives to
meet a youthful sculptor with whom she
has fallen in love. She isn't at all subtle
in her methods, and eventually she is
compromised so that her mother decides
nothing short of marriage to the sculptor
will do. But in the meantime there are

ECCA," the mammoth spectacle,
is -coming to the JBrandels
theater for one week beginning
Sunday night, January 20.
"Mecca was written by the author of
'Chu Chin Chow," Oscar Asche, who is
now appearing In his own production of
the piece at His Majesty's theater, Lon
don, where. Incidentally, he has registered
a hit so sensational that' the house is sold
out months ahead. - The musical setting
was the work of Percy Fletcher of lift.
Majesty's theater, London. Percy Ander
son of London and Leon Bakst of Paris
designed the costumes, mora than 1,200
in number. , The scenery was painted by
the famous .Harker brothers of London,
who painted the productions for the lato
sir Henry Irving, as well as those for
Drury Lane. The story of "Mecca" is
unfolded itf eleven scenes, -the locale of
which' is Cairo, a thousand years ago. and
serves as a framework upon which to
hang a series of pictures that ewke tha
far east, pictures that are as impression
istic as the nudes In a Paris salon.
Thanks to the choreographic genius of Fo
kine, there Is a superb ballet, performed
on the giant staircase of an ancient
Egyptian palace. This dance, revealing a
hundred or more American dancing girls,
who seem an embroidery of fsntactio pas
sion and color, Is regarded as one of the
finest achievements of the incomparable
Michel . Fokine, creator of the Russian
ballet. There are over 300 players In
"Mecca," among them Gladys Hanson,
Lionel Braliam, Ida Mulle, Hannah To
back, Orvllle Caldwell, Thomas C. Leary,
Harold Skiuner. John Doran. Olaa Borow-

EXT week the Orpheum is to have

the stellar attraction. Supported by
Rodney Ranous, she Is to present the ap
pealing one-act play, "Peg for Short."
She was widely popular, as the star ot
"Peg o' My Heart," "Out There" and "Tea
for Three." The show is to have two
featured offerings, one of which is to Be
contributed by J. Rosamond Johnson and
his five instrumentalists. Another will
be that of Dainty Marie, known as "Venus
of the Air."

Mr. Elinge's program there are two
or three gowns and he changes these
on different days of his engagement.
His wardrobe, besides being one ot
the stage's most extensive and com

Mr. Etlinge takes his work ser

rare voice and exceptional method of
