The qual ity of his work is a known quantity and his artistry places him among thft foremost players of the present time. Mr. Skinner has a new play this sea son and it is said it is successful, both from the viewpoint of patronage and in that it affords this distinguish ed player a role that affords him splendid opportunities for the display of his really remarkable talents. The play is called “The Silent Voice," and was written by Jules Eckert Goodman, who is said to have taken his princi pal idea from a short story by Uouv erneur Morris. Mr. Skinner portrays the character of Montgomery Starr, who is wealthy, a charming man of parts, but who is suffering from au ditory apoplexy, from which there is no cure. His mental attitude towards jf people with whom he comes in /contact, his revolt against a cruel God “and his attempt to comprehend the Significance of the unkindly fate that has overtaken him, are said to make his rendition of the character one of the most striking studies that has been offered of late on the modern stage. Charles Frohman is • reported to have provided Mr. Skinner- with a supporting company of particular ex cellence and to have given the play a handsome and elaborate production. Mr Frohman will present Otis Skin ner in “The Silent Voice” at the Grand Wednesday evening only, Nov ember 18th. AT THE STRAND George Kleine’s wonderful photo speet :le, ‘ The Lion of Venice,” is be ing own at the Stand continuously tod and this evening only, the story is: Captain Benito Rienzi, in command of a small fleet of Venetian men-of war returns to Venice and finds that his sweetheart, Bianca, has been forced by her father to marry Count Orsini, a powerful noble. This leads to a dispute between the two men which grows into an everlasting en mity. Fearing the influence of Cap tain Rienzi, the count plots to de stroy him and nearly succeeds in do ing so by placing in Rienzi’s room, where it is later found by the police, a forged letter from the Grand V izier of Turkey to Rienzi concerning the sale of the Venetian plan of war. Cap jtain Rienzi is exiled from his country /and joins a pirate crew, taking his sisters with him. Sometime later, . Count Orsini, at the head of a flee. Y>f warships, is being defeated by the Turkish squadron. In the emergency, Rienzi forgets his hatred for both Or sini and the land that had cast him off, and goes valiantly into the fight against the Turks. . The scenes were ffll made in and around Venice and form a splendid album of pictures of the famous tour ist center. Tomorrow Mary Pickford will be seen in ”Tess of the Storm Country." Thursday will be “The County Chair man." WEEK IN COTTON New Orleans. —Liquidation of cotton contracts last week was on a constantly advancing basis, the highest price.: p-dd being toward the e.ose when Januar;. gold at 7.65. , On the closing session a Ibi.i of 7.60 was made for 8,000 bales but sellers were not much in evidem^ Spot cotton did better, openimt at 7 1-16 for middling and closing at 7 0-16, A week ago middling closed at 6%. The most encouraging features of the week were the resumption of business in futures in the Liverpool market, un der restrictions, and the better feeling in interior spot markets. The last day of the week saw the new style of cotton contracts go into effect. Officials of the exchange have been bus- for weeks preparing new rules to govern futures trading in accordance with the new federal laws. The posting lof the rules was, In some measure, re garded as a step toward the resumption l of business on a normal basis. Til* trade is prepared to listen to a bearish report on ginning from tile Cen sus Bureau Monday morning. It may, or may not, afiecf the prices of con tracts. Much depends upon how the spot markets in the Interior accept the figures. 7be federal district court decision in New York yesterday making possible li quidation of tlie holdings of the suspend ed firm ol B. 11.

The hope/ul sentiment which developed in financial clrccs two weeks ago was sustained by various cir cumstances last week. Commerce de partment officials estimated an October excess merchandise exports of (60,000,- 000. Further buying of grain for export continued on a sensational scale and cot. ton shipments to foreign portg expanded j to one-tlilrd or more of last year's rate. The effect extended to many lines of In dustry: even the steel trade felt In creased confidence despite additional, j contraction of cun,, t business. The International exchange problem advanced sufficiently to end the neces sity for further emergency arrangement* under discussion by the British treasury delegates In conference at Washington. , Increased demand for bonds and high, (grade stocks reflected tin growing force V* the reservoir of capital accumulating with the bottling up of three month* of , markets. Ending of the Brlt fih moratorium, government security for ' ondon market loans, re-opening of the | lAverpool Cotton Association and -pros- l pects of an early re-opening of the New , York Cotton Exchange—all these gave Impetus to the discussion looking to the 1 re-opening of the Stock Exchange. Heavy retirements of emergency cur- ' rency snd clearing house certificates 1 marked the strengthening of bank re serves end tliis wag, followed by an in- , terest reduction in long time loans to 5t4 per cent. The bank statement showed a further increase of reserves and a mod erate cash gqin in place of an expected loss. Wall street drew its own inference, mainly favorable, from the elections. Turkey’s entrance into the war. tlie closing of the North Sea and develop ments in tlie Mexican snarl were count ed among the week's adverse features. '•few? The South Has Weathered the Storm—Business Is Getting Better Each Day The surplus of 4,000,000 bales is the nub of the whole trouble. If it can be taken care of, enough can be realized from the rest of the crop to save the South from distress. Cotton plays so important a part in maintaining the credit balance in our foreign trade that the subject assumes a national aspect, aside from the interest, commercial and otherwise, one section of the re public has in the well-being of another. The secretary of the treasury, in view of the delay in the organization of the federal reserve board, agreed to issue emergency currency under the Aldrich- Vreeland act to banks of the South, with warehouse receipts for cotton as the basis of the issue. The response of the banks to this shove has not been so cordial as expected. Cotton, in stead of stiffening in price, has had a tendency to weakness. A syndicate of Middle Western and Southern bank ers is said to have a purpose of financ ing the surplus and holding it out of the market. Such an undertaking re quires a lot of money and courage.

For this week at $9.75 A Southern newspaper started a campaign based on sentiment, which has had much publicity. It is the “buy a-bale” movement. The purchaser pays ten cents a pound,—sso a bale,— for cotton ..nd agrees to hold the cot ton for six months. Many persons have gone into the plan with the most worthy intentions and some have taken advantage of the opportunity for ad vertising purposes to promote their business. Others have seen a possi bility of profit, although that is re mote. Like most campaigns based on sentiment, this one was loosely or ganized, and there is doubt of its doing much ultimate good. A country banker in Georgia launch ed a project that, may prove of benefit. It is for the farmers to place their cotton in accepted warehouses, give their notes, say, S4O a bale, and when the cotton is insured and approved oy a selected public official, banks of the county and community will cash notes, issuing against them warehouse war GOLDEN BROS.
