and contractors that they will ask for 
an increase, and it is expected that 
other lines will follow. Practically

are well organized and the contractors

Miss Bintie BuRKE AT THE HOoLtis 
A new comedy by Pinero, the fore- 
most dramatist in England today, and 
Miss Billie Burke, one of the most 
charming actresses on the American 
stage, are both potent attractions in 
the theatre world and combined— 
well, they’re irresistible. That is the 
way it seems, anyway, to anyone who 
has observed the audiences—their 
size and their enthusiasm, too—at the 
Hollis Street theatre, Boston, since 
Miss Burke has been appearing there 
in “The ‘Mind the Paint’ Girl,” Pi- 
nero’s latest comedy. The pretty 
actress scored a big hit on her open- 
ing night and ever since the theatre 
has been crowded. It was perhaps 
the most genuine triumph Miss Burke 
has ever won in Boston, although she 
has always been a favorite there and 
her opening nights have always been

gala events. This time, though, it was 
something more. ‘This time the au- 
dience applauded her not only be- 
cause she was pretty and sweet and 
young and girlish and had kittenish 
little ways, but because besides all that 
in the big scene of the play in the 
third act she proved herself an actress 
of real power—an actress capable of 
expressing and of making the audience 
feel real and deep emotions of several 
different kinds.

urday—Washington’s birthday. 
3uT SHE CouLDN’T SEE IT 
“What you see in that creature to 
adrire I can’t imagine,” said Mrs. 
Dubbleigh. “Why, she’s all made up! 
Her hair, her figure, her complexion— 
every bit of her is artificial!” 
“Well, what of it?” retorted Dub- 
bleigh. “If the world admires self- 
made men why shouldn’t it admire 
self--rade women ?”—Stray Stories.
