“A Modern Eve."
The Winchester (Virginia) Evening
Star has the following to say of **A
Modern Eve," which comes to the Co
lonial Theater at an early date;
With an audience present that oc
cupied nearly every one of the 900
seats in the New Empire theater last
night—many of the men and women
in evening dress—Winchester’s beau
tiful now theater presented its first
important attraction, and no better
selection could have been made for the
real opening of the Empire than that
charming and gorgeously-costumed
musical comedy ‘A Modern Eve,’
“Amid the delightful surroundings
of the new Empire, with its soft
lights, its splendid stage and its hand
some furnishings, the audience that
greeted ‘A Modem Eve 1 was a bril
liant one, and it wanted to hear some
good music and drive dull care away
with mirth and laughter. Both de
sires were fulfilled to the utmost, for
from the time that the curtain went
up on the two prettily-staged acts un
til it fell, no dull moment crept into
the two and a half hours, and the play
was filled with alluring music, with
droll repartee, with graceful dancing,
with lines purged of all impurities,
and with scintilating flashes of wit
Winchester is a rather critical and
discriminating town, particularly with
regard to the theater-loving part of
its population, and a theater attrac
tion must be of real merit before
Winchester audiance will capitulate
and give that measure of homage and
applause that real merit alwaya de
serves. therefore, the ovation that
was accorded Mr. Singer’s splendid
musical show laat night proved con
clusively that ‘A Modem Eve* was one
of the best things that has been bat*
this season.
“The play waa presented by a east
of unusual ability, and from the state
down to the humblest chorus-girl ev
ery member of the company took air
active Interest in the work, and put
into it that spirit and enthusiasm that
count ao much in the accomplishment
of any task. Both acta were beauti
fully staged, the scenery showing the
work of an artist, and the Empire’s
big stage easily took care of all the
scene effects. The music was excep
tionally good, the Modem Eve com
pany’s orchestra, under direction of
Carl Lamont, having been augmented
by an orchestra from the Academy of
Mule, at Hagerstown. Several really
fine voices were in the company; and
the chorus, which wu picked with dis
criminating care u to both* looks and
voices, was costumed meet effectively
and with bewildering charges.
“The leading male and female parte
were very well placed. Mr. Edward

HOW NEW TARIFF LAW
AFFECTS GERMAN TRADE
(By Associated Press.)
Berlin, January 21.—While German
business men are declaring that the
export trade to the United States has
not been noticeably affected by the
new American tariff, statistics from
the American Consulate General
show an increase of more than $1,500-
000 during the last two months since
the tariff act came into force, the in
crease in these two months being’ al
most ten per cent of the total busi
ness passing through the consulate
in the preceeding year.
Eggs are a feature of the increase.
These figures for the first time in
the reports of the Berlin consulate but
the items is already considerable, over
$75,000 worth having been shipped
during November and the first twelve
days of December, or at the rate of
more than $2000,000 worth a year.
This money does not go to poultry-
men in Germany, -however, for the
shipments originate in Russia or Aus
trian Galicia, and are handled here
only in transit.

There were cows in every scene, and

It was a fight to the finish.’
On one hand stood a grim mountain range, its face covered with the dense tangle
of the Tropics, its feet imbedded in the steaming, stinking jungle—a place no white man
had a right to be; a place so hot and poisonous that it might well be called the border
land of Hell.
Against this barrier of the ages marched your Army Engineers with their science,
your gang bosses with their courage, and the faithful negro workers with their brawn.
They tackled that mountain with their steam shovels, they bored into its sides with
their pneumatic drills, they shot it up with tons of dynamite, they went at it with bare
hands.

The mountain fought back with infernal spite. J It hurled down everything, from
great boulders to giant land-slides.
Over night it would drop a 40 acre lot into the cut, burying cars, tracks and shovels
three weeks deep.
Not once but S6 times did the mountain
rock and rubble.
And this in a land of torrential rains and withering heat—where the fighters were
alternately roasted, drenched and parboiled. ' '
For seven years this savage, upstanding fight between man and the mountain went
on.
Then slowly and inevitably the mountain gave way to the “ I will ” of human purpose.
Today a man-made nine-mile caynon is the trophy of that conflict. On its peace
ful waters the commerce of the world is quickly shifted from ocean to ocean. '
And it is this awful and majestic chasm which will stand for eternity as a monument
to American iove for a fight to the finish.
It is the “mightiest deed the hand of man has done.”
