Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name not provided] HON. J. G. MEGLER. Candidate for Speaker. VOL. XI. NO. 28 POLITICAL POT=PIE AN APPEAL TO YOU. It is with difficulty that the average weekly newspaper exists at all, even when run by one among persons of his or her own blood but when conducted by one of a different blood than those who must be his patrons, and yet who fought his way through the sea of caste, and, despite considerable prejudice and mountains of apathy, has succeeded in issuing his paper regular every week, the task is all but superhuman. Such is the condition surrounding the issuing of The Seattle Republican, which has now been done without the loss of an issue for nearly eleven years. Its readers and patrons are among the best, the most influential and the most progressive citizens of this commonwealth, and many of whom often speak in fulsome praise of its columns, but that said they immediately relapse into an apathetic state to its further concern as though that would pay its bills. Such is highly appreciative and certainly most pleasing to hear, but in lieu of something more substantial to provide for family necessities the man at the helm has to look the other way to conceal what he would like the other fellow to know, yet without the courage to tell him. You and each of must have some faint idea of the difficult task it is for the management of The Seattle Republican to keep it afloat. If you have not then permit us to take you into our confidence and inform you that we have the devil's own time to pay the weekly bills. If therefore you are indebted to The Seattle Republican for a measly subscription it will be a great relief to the management if you will remit the same. We make this personal appeal to YOU because we need whatever amount you owe and again let us take you into our confidence and inform you we need it very badly. The Hon. J. G. Megler, father of the Washington state legislature, is a candidate for speaker of the next house of representatives of the legislature, and the odds are in favor of him being elected, and that, too, without regard to his senatorial beliefs. The state of Washington has no more honorable man within her limits than Mr. Megler, and it is very generally believed that he will be a very acceptable compromise candidate for that place by all of the contending senatorial factions. He hails from one of the smallest counties in the state, but it is barely possible that he already has more pledged votes than any other candidate yet mentioned in that connection. Among the politicians of the state the senatorial question is still the all absorbing one and many line ups between this and that section of the state and this and that click of politicians are reported. Some twenty odd members of the next legislature assembled in Portland a few days ago for a conference and all kinds of reports of what took place and what was actually said has been in circulation ever since, but it is barely possible that nothing definite was done and SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1904 nothing definite will be done by either those who met in Portland or any of the others, until the legislature assembles. There are other things besides the election of a senator that might call a number of the members together and this perhaps explains the Portland meeting. The senatorial situation has become so alarming, so far as Senator Foster is concerned, that he has decided to spend no more time at Washington City, even at the expense of important committees he is on until he has either been re-elected or defeated. He will be home within the next week and will assume the personal management of his political affairs. There is no doubt of the fact that it begins to look dangerous for Foster. The Ankeny push in the next legislature seem to be very much between the devil and the deep sea. Some of them swear that Sweeney shall not be elected, others of them declare that Foster is not the man to tie [Name] while still others are working for Piles, not that they believe he can be elected, but with a view of making terms with some strong man who will protect Ankeny's interests in the future. The Columbian has no candidate for United States senator from this state. This paper believes that the legislature, which is strongly Republican, will be able to handle this matter without the aid or advice of this journal. The members of the legislative body are men of ability and no doubt will elect a gentleman of experience and ability in matters which may affect the state. It is considered a part of inconsistency to meddle with the business of electing a senator. If Clarke county were to be directly benefited by some particular selection, then it would be correct to jump in and tell the legislature what man to select; as it is that body can select any good Republican and receive the applause of this paper.—Vancouver Columbian. --- PRICE FIVE CENTS Mr. W. H. Bryant of Bellingham spent several days in the city attending the United States court. Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Keeble of Tacoma have decided to cast their lot with the good people of the Queen City, and so have moved over, bag and baggage. Mr. Keeble will have charge of the barber shop in the Lincoln Flats. Judging from his past business record, his success is assured. Miss Florence Bailey of South Park attended the Magazine Club on last Tuesday evening and read a very instructive paper on "Our Libraries and What We Should Read." The club is reserving Miss Bailey's home till springtime, when the rains fall not and the mud is conspicuous by its absence. Mrs. Brice Taylor, who has been a resident of Seattle for five or six years, succumbed to a chronic disease at her home on Twentieth avenue Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Taylor has been confined to her bed for some time before the end came. She was buried from the A. M. E. Church Thursday afternoon. On last Tuesday a week Mrs. Maggie Jackson White of Vancouver, B. C., succumbed to a paraletic stroke. Mrs. White was well known in this city, which was at one time her home. She owned some valuable property in this city at 1223 Seventh avenue. She leaves a husband and many friends to mourn her loss. The Magazine Club met at the home of Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton on last Tuesday evening. The attendance was unusually large and the papers of much interest. Mrs. G. O. Allen will entertain the club at its next meeting. Each member of the Magazine Club has agreed to read one book, of his own selection, every two weeks and report the same to the club with some personal criticism of the work. The club is open for membership. Mr. John Fort, who has been in the city for some time and so interested himself in church and literary work in general that he seems almost indispensable, has announced his intention of leaving the city and taking up his abode in the town of Bellingham. It is understood that Mr. Fort goes to join Mr. Oldwin in his work at that place, and if their business continues to prosper his return will be indefinite. Dame Rumor has it that there are two young ladies very sad indeed over Mr. Fort's departure. Rev. Walker, who has been the pastor in charge of the Mount Zion Baptist church for eighteen months, left the city today to take charge of the Baptist church at Alameda, Cal. Rev. Walker did some good work during his stay here, and the circle of members and friends that he had gathered around him especially regret his departure. It is impossible to announce just who will succeed him to the work at this place, but it is hoped that a God-fearing man of much strength will be selected, as the work is just at that place where a strong man will be able to build upon the good work done by Rev. Walker. Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W. B. HUTCHMISSON CO. 1401 Second Ave. and Union St. [Name] REV. F. T. WALKER.

He leaves a host of friends in Seattle, which he made during his year and a half stay in the city. CULLINGS FROM THE MAGAZINE CLUB Our Libraries and What We Read. The day when novel reading was condemned is past. The scholar of today often takes this form of writing, the ministers put thoughts of the higher life and nobler way in novel form, and the problems of the day are by them so placed before us that we understand them as we could not otherwise. There are the standard works, which each and every one who claims to be abreast of the times ought to have read; what is considered the author's best production is considered sufficient. In case these works have escaped us it is our duty to ourselves that we peruse them at the earliest possible time. It is impossible for us to claim personal friends the great thinkers and writers who continue to appear before the public, but we can procure their works, and after thoughtfully perusing them, not only gain from the mental contact which we have undergone, but we are able to pass an opinion as to the writer's manner of handling his subject and the real merit of the book itself. Where one does not feel able to invest in so many books there is the city library, which furnishes the standard works and many of the newer ones. Then there is the Book Lovers' Library, which circulates the very latest books. True, if the latter library has some expense attached to the loan of its books, but that is small when compared with the amount one would have to invest if each book read were purchased and the advantage of securing the very latest books is also to be taken into consideration. So many who are supposed to be well read, know literally nothing of the best writers of the day, and they claim a lack of time as the reason therefor. The excuse is lame and with the best people does not go. People do not ask about our time, but our opinions, and if we are abreast of the times we have an opinion to express, and nothing but reading will enable us to do this. After FRIDAY, DEC. 9, 1904. all, it is very much a habit, and a habit which we should cultivate. * * * For Better or for Worse. The term "old maid" is giving place to the broader and more kind expression, "bachelor maid." With this change goes also a change of feeling towards the single girl; in short, she is gradually being allowed the same privilege as her bachelor brother—to remain single if she so desires. The time has been and long it reigned, when a girl was taught that marriage was the end and aim in life. Now a girl may have a business career and marry if she chooses, but she is not considered a failure if she does not care to pass her days under the "yoke of matrimony." Another step in the right direction is the advanced idea that a single woman may with all propriety adopt the off-spring of some woman who has married and perhaps died or been more or less unfortunate. She may love and dress, fondle and protect the little one as much as she pleases. Married life is undoubtedly the happier life, and marriage is honorable in all, but if one does not care to enter into it there is, and should be, the privilege of staying out of it. * * * Over-Stepping Pleasures. One of the secrets of a happy life is to live in today, and not in tomorrow or yesterday. The one produces an eager yearning expression, as in a child chasing beautiful butterflies, which he never captures, and is far from rendering one happy; the other breeds a melancholy expression for trying to gain happiness by living in the days which are gone is at best far from inspiring and has a tendency to render one morose. It is the person who enjoys each day as it passes who is contented. Our desire to outshine others, to appear what we really are not, is one of the great incentives towards looking too far forward. We will be happy when we reach a certain place; we will enjoy life when we gain this thing or that; we'll receive a few friends in our home when we can do it in this manner or that; are some of the staves with which we drive happiness from us. Nice refreshments are always good, but what are they after all? We can buy them for the price at any time. It is the pleasure of seeing and being with us in our homes, be they two rooms or many more, which our friends want. Suppose the refreshments were placed upon a table and the host and hostess absented themselves from the room, would we relish the refreshments? "Oh, some always make remarks about things," says one. Let them. Those who make such remarks do not matter, their opinions or friendship is not worth cultivation. The best people, and they are the ones whom we should cultivate, will make no unkind remarks about these smaller things. Happy is the person who can realize that he has much to be thankful for, that no matter how hard it comes it could come harder. A noted speaker recently gave the following receipt for getting the most out of life: "Multiply your duty by your capacity and divide the product by your finance, and you will be getting the most out of life that there is in it for you." So we are not to strive to do too much, but to divide it up in the correct manner and enjoy the golden days as they pass. An Irishman and a colored man had a grievance, and agreed to fight. They further agreed that when one of them was licked, and wanted to stop, he must yell "Sufficient!" and the other must let him up. In a secluded spot they went at it hot and heavy. After half an hour the colored man gave up and whispered from the bottom of the mixup, "Sufficient." "Begorry! what a memory you have," said the Irishman. "Oi'iv been trying to think of that word for ten minits."—Ex. Harvard is both the oldest and the largest university in America.

Chicago has 4,147; Northwestern, 4,007; Michigan. FRIDAY, DEC. 9, 1904. BUILDING AND REALTY. The past week has been one of unusual activity in building and realty circles. The transfer of property was especially marked in that in nearly every case the sale was made for a large sum of money. Eastern capitalists look upon Seattle real estate with great favor and very often supply the capital with which these purchases are made, when they do not personally figure in the transactions. Residents of Seattle with money to invest at once turn to real estate as the best and most advantageous investment. That Seattle has not in the least slackened in its growth needs no stronger evidence than this very marked activity in realty circles. Another interesting phase of activity in real estate transfers is found in the direction in which a majority of these sales indicate Seattle's business section to be extending. Pike street will before long have business blocks which in every way compare with those of Second and First avenues. It has been a veritable Pike street boom. J. A. Baillargeon secured the title to the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Pike street, 120x120 feet, from Herman Chapin for $110,000. A large business block will soon be erected on this site. George Kimball delivered the title to a similar piece of property to M. B. Jackson, a few days since. These two lots have a frontage of 120 feet on Pike street and a similar frontage on Sixth avenue. Several smaller transactions were made. The resources for the realty movement on Pike street may be supplied in this wise. The West Lake Boulevard which when completed will intersect Pike street at Fourth avenue. The car lines which will traverse this thoroughfare will therefore carry their traffic from the northern suburbs, Green Lake and Ballard over Pike street in reaching the business portion of First and Second avenues. Another cause contributing toward this activity is found in the fact that the street will soon be widened twenty feet making the street of sufficient width to handle all the traffic.

He then organized the Union Trust and Savings Bank, which has quarters in the block he has just purchased. Lastly since the retail business is slowly moving toward Pike street and since little real estate on First and Second avenues is now obtainable, the investor naturally turned toward Pike street in anticipation of the reatil business movement. a frontage of 60 feet on Second avenue making the price per foot front $4,000 the maximum price thus far paid..

Hoge, Jr., the local banker bought the lot and building on the northeast corner of Second avenue and Cherry street for the sum of $240,000. The lot has 3,726; California, 3,600; Wisconsin, 3,221. Cornell has 3,438 students.

A rather remarkable case of this nature comes to us from North Carolina. A rural mail delivery carrier wrote an insulting note to the wife of a Negro on his route. The Negro, knowing what it meant immediately to both himself and his wife to remonstrate with the obstreperous young whelp, kept his tongue, but mailed the letter to the department, which was investigated. The carrier offered as an excuse that the note was intended for a white woman of the same name. This but added insult to injury and he was summarily dismissed from the service.

There is an effort on foot, however, to make them comfortable for the remainder of the winter, and it is right that something should be done, as these people have been narrowed AFRO-AMERICAN. The heirs of the late George T. Downing, the well known Negro abolitionist, who recently died at his home in Newport, R. I., are suing the state of New York and a number of multo-millionaires for a vast tract of land that is now valued in the millions. It seems that Mr. Downing came in the possession of the deeds to these lands, which lie in the Adirondack mountains of New York, by a grant from the state on which Negroes were to be settled. Mr. Downing died not long since and his heirs, knowing of the deeds, at once took steps to recover, and the attorney representing them claims he has a clear case and has no doubts of bagging his game before the courts. The lands have been subsequently bought from the state by New York millionaires and made fine summer resorts for hunting and fishing. It is learned from an Eastern exchange that Ben Tillman, the South Carolina blackguard, who unfortunately represents that state in the United States senate, has decided to oppose the confirmation of Dr. Crum no longer, and for that, it is further claimed, Tillman has been assured by the administration that the South will not be rebuked in the shape of her representation being cut down. The price paid for Tillman's silence is entirely too great, and the Negroes of this country would prefer a hundred times over to see Dr. Crum defeated than to see any backdown on the reducing the representation from the South. This thing has resolved itself down to a principle, and it is better that every Negro now holding a federal appointment be turned out, if necessary, rather than to have the South defer this vital step any longer. It is claimed that a state of terror exists among the Negroes of Copiah and Lincoln counties, Mississippi, brought about by the regulators among the whites making strenuous efforts to drive all Negroes owning homes, as well as all Negro school teachers, from their places. This is the result of Governor Vardeman's teachings, that Mississippi had no use for Negro home owners nor Negro school teachers. If God Almighty ever made a mistake in breathing the breath of life into a bunch of clay, He did it when Vardeman was given power to wiggle. Even Tillman, of pitchfork fame, is an angel in comparison to Vardeman, who has not only stirred up strife between the Southern white man and the Negro, but has repeatedly insulted the president of the United States. Vardeman is as much deserving of incarceration as Herr Most, the noted anarchist, for he is as dangerous to human society as Most, and the authorities have as much cause to arrest Vardeman for riotous harangues as Most. A few more such irresponsible whelps as Vardeman in the South and that section of this country would be again drenched with human blood on account of a civil strife. S. Coleridge Taylor's visit to America will be of much benefit to his race. The musical status of the Negro has heretofore been quite low, plantation melodies and coon songs being all that he has been credited with singing with any degree of excellency. Mr. Taylor recently gave an entertainment wherein THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN he directed both orchestra and a chorus of two hundred. There were many musical critics and distinguished guests present, and the tribute paid the eminent composer was as pleasing as it was deserving. Mr. Coleridge Taylor's coming from his home in London, England, to lead his own composition by a society of his own people will doubtless be an impetus to the American Negro to push onward towards the exalted places in the musical world. A REMARKABLE GIRL. (The Musical Courier.) It is a remarkable fact that the colored people, noted as a race for warm emotional capacity and natural musical aptitude, should so far have produced no artists of real worth. The Jubilee Singers doubtless were endowed with voices of marvelous quality and power, but their range of songs was generally limited to simple Negro melodies, affecting songs, which did not, however, require the highest musical training in their interpretation. Whether the confusion of the reconstruction period or lack of mental development, or both co-operating, have held their energies dormant, still the fact remains that the cakewalk, the coon song and the plantation hymn have been the musical province of the colored race. In fact, we have never before known of a really artistic Negro pianist or violinist. In view of this truth, the recent success of Hazelda Harrison, a young colored girl of Laporte, Ind., is both interesting and significant. Like many talented young women, Miss Harrison has fought her own way, for a long time playing dance music until 2 in the morning in order to maintain herself. It was at this time that Victor Heinze, the eminent Chicago pianist, heard her play, and not only admitted her talent, but offered her instruction. That her schooling under him has been thoroughly good is shown in her artistic playing, and expressly commended in Berlin criticisms. In her recent appearance at Berlin Miss Harrison scored an encouraging success. She was described by the critics as possessing "smooth, flowing technic," "a decided feeling for tone beauty," "musical intelligence," "even a touch of poetry," "individuality," and "a beautiful piano tone." In fact, the only adverse criticisms upon her work were that her artistic conceptions were not fully matured and that her forte was not sufficiently powerful. Now, neither to the struggle of Miss Harrison's early life nor to her present success does interest attach in the most overwhelming sensational sense. Genius of all kinds has grown so addicted to hobnobbing with rats in a garret that we feel no exciting thrills over a new story of plain persistence and achievement. Moreover, Miss Harrison's triumphs may seem to be somewhat qualified by the charge of "lack in artistic conception." When we realize, however, that for this 18-year-old girl it must have been more than trebly hard to face the metropolitan audience of Berlin, the most critical in the world, and that thus hindered she has won what none of her race has ever before attained, our surprise is far greater. This lack of which the critics speak, moreover, is purely a matter of growth, broadening, deepening, which must inevitably come with further study. Nothing but commendation is expressed for her general artistic intuition and FRIDAY. DEC. 9. 1904 her surer technic. In other words, Miss Harrison has climbed the heights—now she must stop and absorb the soul uplift from the broader outlook before her. In the years to come she must work for an individual, a more clearly marked, style in playing. Meanwhile she is deserving of high credit. fdo ree tlid tlid clo on m in hb bb so a y do si oo eo oo cfl is tl se b u e in a ly a g c w in in T p a b t t o f f s s a T v d M b l r t r H t r o c t Y o l l a a V Y W o v t O l l a l l y o o a o o Appended are some of Miss Harrison's Berlin press notices: Saturday evening a youthful pianist, Hazelda Harrison, was heard in the Singakademie, with the Philharmonic Orchestra, under August Scharrer. The artist showed great talent and an excellent technic. Quite especially beautiful and soft is her piano, while one could have wished for a little more strength in the forte places. She played Chopin's E minor and Grieg's A minor concertos. Her playing does not yet reveal personal conception and independence, but it shows so much musical intelligence that we are justified in expecting much from her further development. —Deutcher Reichsanzeiger, October 25, 1904. As we are living in sensational times, if not times of musical "wonders," we can not pass by unnoticed the concerts of a little mulatto girl who was heard with the Philharmonic Orchestra. Hazelda Harrison is the name of the young virtuosa, and her home is Chicago. In her interpretation intelligence, musical instinct, feeling foronal beauty, and warmth of expression were unmistakable—yes, in Chopin's composition, her delivery showed a touch of poetry. The little mulatto could thus lay claim to being a little sensation.—Morgan Post, October 25, 1904. Although the youthful pianist, Hazelda Harrison, has not yet a wholly matured art conception, yet she compensated for the lack of this in a sense by her universally smooth flowing technic—Tageblatt, October 26, 1904. A young mulatto, Hazelda Harrison, played the same evening in the Singakademie the piano concertos in E minor, by Chopin, and A minor, by Grieg, with the accompaniment of the Philharmonic Orchestra. The pianist is still very young, and her touch lacks physical strength yet, but her delivery revealed feeling and individuality and her technical certainty bespoke thorough schooling. Die Post, October 27, 1901. How very international music is was closely brought to our mind on the same evening as the foregoing when, in the Singakademie, with the assistance of the Philharmonic Orchestra, a mulatto pianist, Hazelda Harrison, made a successful debut. She has a sympathetic touch and an unusually nice cantabile. Her phrasing, too, is musical and she plays with both feeling and taste. In the Chopin concerto she lacked strength and a great deal did not come "through" the orchestra, but she made amends in the Grieg, playing with far more vigor and power.—German Times, October 31, 1904 In commenting on the death of Col. W. C. P. Breckinridge, the Blue Grass Bugle, which is under Negro management, is moved to quote the following as an epitaph: After life's fitful fever, he sleeps well; Life's work well done; Life's race well rnu; Life's crown well won, Now comes rest. It concludes a well written review of a well spent life with this peroration: 'Because his heart was filled with the 'milk of human kindness,'—because he was actuated by motives of 'love to God and love to man,'—because he wove love and joy into the web and woof of life—because he lived to make the world better and life brighter—because he sought to snatch from the sky the angry clouds of blackness and despair and to set there in the star of hope and victory—we mourn his demise and pray that his tired soul has found sweet rest.' Foot ball, the king of all sports for healthy young men, has been relegated to the extreme rear since the Thanksgiving contests in various parts of the country. Now and then we hear of a game between classes and between athletic clubs or like institutions. Anxious mothers, whose sons were receiving the finalities of enduring manhood and obeyance may now breathe freely, for the foot ball season has closed amid proud hurrahs and happy rejoicings of the sturdy youngsters and their fellow students. The contest between the University of Washington and California on Thanksgiving day has undoubtedly greatly advanced the prestige of the home university in athletic circles. The score of 6 to 6 for the first game between two institutions is a happy omen, an encouraging thought. The big fellows from the southern clime will hereafter not be satisfied with a season's playing until he has met his smaller but energetic northerner on the gridiron. The game between the U. of W. and Seattle Athletic Club was hardly one to merit serious attention, although the score of 0 to 0 is a good one. The features which characterized the playing as a whole was lack of aggressive playing which is accounted for by saying there was nothing to play for. The substitute varsity men who play showed good material and as a rule played creditable foot ball, but the game remained lifeless until the close. Capt. V. Havenberg of the S. A. C. showed that real foot ball men are made of such stuff as he, for he was responsible for one-half of the gains and strong defenses to S. A. C.'s credit at the close of last Saturday's game. The election of a captain of the varsity team for 1905 last Wednesday resulted in the choice of Tom McDonald for that place. McDonald has played on the varsity team long enough to know what will be required of him as captain of the team, and it is safe to say he will make an efficient executive. Basket ball, which takes the place in competitive sports during the winter months, is drawing much good material to the shrine of training at the University under the care of Dr. Roller and at the Y. M. C. A. under the instruction of Prof. Doughitt. The team at the University bids fair to be a good one since a few of the old basket ball players are trying their hand at the game anew. MacDonald, who played with the Y. M. C. A. two years ago and who this year plays with University, is always good material. Tibbals and a few others of the foot ball squad will also add very materially to the strength of the team. The Y. M. C. A. team has in Capt. Temple an executive combined with all the qualities which go to make a first class basket ball player. The Y. M. C. A. team has been in training for a number of weeks and are now prepared to complete a schedule which shall include games with the strongest of such teams in the northwest. Lovers of this sport will find much that is interesting in this year's basket ball playing. Provision is being made for the training of a rowing crew at the University, the students being strongly in favor of retaining Coach Knight, who two years ago developed from the University material the crew which defeated the California crew on Lake Washington. The material this year is promising, and it is very likely that Coach Knight will again show the Washington men how to wrest victory from their southern opponents when they show their brawn and muscle on Lake Washington next spring. Bowling has taken a particularly live turn the past week, which can be accounted for by the fact that the week marked the close of the first half of the season. Spectators would not seldom shout with the victor as he carefully sent the sphere spinning down the alley sweeping everything in its way. There were good scores made the past week and at the final reckoning four teams in Class A, the Arcades, Chinooks, Columbians and Centrals all were legal claimants for first place, the half-season score being a tie; 12 games won against 9 games lost. In Class B the Navajos easily have first place, having won 15 contests and lost only 6. The Siwashes follow with 12 won and 6 lost games. Base ball continues to be played, but the playing is characterized by a certain lack of decisive playing which is bad for competitive sports. The decision last week by which a game was taken from Portland and given to Los Angeles because a base runner of the latter team cut second base, was considered an error by the president of the Pacific Coast League, and consequently the game was thrown out, thus making the Tacoma and Los Angeles teams both claimants for first place at the end of second half of the base ball season. This difficulty was overcome when the manager of Los Angeles team proposed that the two teams should play a series of ten games which would decide the championship of the coast league. These games commenced on Nov. 30, all of which will be played in San Francisco and Los Angeles. AMUSEMENTS. Charming and clever Jane Corcoran, who will be remembered with pleasure by local theatre-goers for her acting in such plays as "Tennessee's Partner," "A Stranger in a Strange Land," "Mlle. Fifi," and "At the Old Cross Roads," in all of which she played the leading roles and scored emphatic hits, comes to the Grand next Friday and Saturday, this time as a star, and a most successful one, at that. The play in which Miss Corcoran is being presented is "Pretty Peggy," a historical romance by Frances Aymar Mathews, which was presented 127 times on Broadway in New York Citil. The company is said to be one of the largest on tour this season, and in addition to other well known people, includes Andrew Robson, who for the past four years has starred in "The Royal Box," and "Richard Carvel."
