ACTRESS WILL WEAR j
W(
Miss Janet Waldorf, in "Graus
with Rare Jewels from t
Extensively
Mi88 Janet Waldorf, who will be
aeen at the opera house on Tuesday,
October 17, in Baker & Castle' f production
of "Graustark," adopted
from George Barr McCutcheon's
novel,is one of the very few actresses
who have made-a tour of the world.
The East had especial attraction
for Miss Waldorf. Lnd *he made up
her mind that she would see Japan,
China and India. Soon after completing
her studies far the stajye she
organized a company and sailed for
Rntinlnln TKiar nnpnt several weeks
; there and then went on to Japan.
Here was the first company to give
a performance in English in Tokyo.
They played As You Like It first in a
theatre and then in the open air.
Aside from the members of the English
and American embassies, the
audiences were made up of natives,
and they played to crov^ded houses.
After playing in Yokahama, they
went to Shanghai,where they played
at the Country Club in the Bubbling
Well road. The club is ".he most exclusive
organization of Englishmen
in China. They also played in one of
the Chinese theatres. Ia Hongkong
the company played Romeo and Juliet,
Twelfth Night and Ingomar,
then sailed to Manila.
From Manila Miss Vfaldorf and
her company went on to the Straits
Settlements and gave the first per*
?i:?u
Fiormance ever g;veu 111 r>"Kllou
Sanganora. They made several sightseeing
trips into the interior,playing
| at the English club-houses; sometimes
living almost in the jungle
and could not be abroad after dark
because of the tigers. After Manila
followed Rangoon aid Calcutta,
where they played six weeks. They
spent the rainy season in Mussoorie,
in the hill district, giving frequent
out-door performances.
From Calcutta. Miss Waldorf took
t ^ her company to Delhi, where they
gave two performances in the theatre
owned by Ballywallah, a Hindoo actor.
The educated classes among the
Hindoos are earnest students of
Shakespeare and Bally wallah had
been giving Shakesperian plays tor
years.
After leaving Delhi they spent two
weeks in Ceylon and then sailed to
Australia, spending several months
there and in New Zealand. From
New Zealand they went back to
Shanghai, Hongkong and Manila,
and from Manila back to Japan,and
after several weeks there sailed for
San Francisco. They had been away
for nearly three years.
Miss Waldorf is a born collector
and delights in "picking up" rare
and beautiful objects. While on her
trip around the world she secured
1 many beautiful and serviceable articles,
including ornaments, jewelry
and dress goods, and as the character
she assumes in " 3raustark", the
1 Princess Yetive, admits of elaborate
1 dressing, she has employed a few of
her many "finds" iit forming a creation
of magnificent splendor.
1 The clasps which confine her long
ruby mantle at the throat are in re?
% ? --a- LKL
ality Hindu Dnaai ornaments, wnicn
rarely find their way out of India.
Only the high caste maidens are permitted
to wear them, and they do bo
in a way that would drive a Western
bride to distraction. After two
or three thicknesses of bridal veil
' have been adjusted, an enormous
button bigger than'the famous
"cart-wheel" silver dollar is placed
over each ear, completely hiding it
from view, while a third is fastened
directly in the center of the crown.
Both tradition and sentiment forbid
that these three should match. Thus,
one must be of brilliants, another of
emeralds,the remaining one is a mixture
of both.
Green,deep, lustrous green, would
seem to be the mascot color of India,
and Miss Waldorf brought with her
one of the famous "good luck"
dresses in which the desired tint is
supplied by beetles' wings. The
burnished surfaces would seem to
indicate that live insects furnish
forth these trappings for miladi's
gown. Indeed, Miss Waldorf says
that it is rumored that the cruel
practice goes further still. Not only
are the unfortunates thus denuded,
1 but they are turned adrift in their
crippled condition.
However,one forgets all such matters
in marveling at the wonderful
' skill with which these gleaming,
filmy bits are inserted among the
! gold thread tracery. By what process
they are preserved is another one of
these trade secrets which the arti'
sans of the Orient keep strictly to
| themselves.
The fabric upon which the decoration
is worked is one of these clinging
Eastern stuffs that look as if a
good puff of wind could annihilate
it,yet it is encrusted thickly all over
the front with a mysteriously symbolic
pattern that requires thousands
of yards of gold thread and quanti'
tities of wings. Golden vines and
scrolls also encircle the glistening
J wings and make the waist a thing of
beauty, and a wider border pattern
about the hem of the gown carries
out the same idea in elaborate em
broidery. Yet taker up in the hand
its weight is almost imperceptible,
j It is in the last act of "Graustark"
i when Miss Waldorf appears in all the
! regal splendor of her court costume

cut across Ins chest by Lexington
filcKrtighl, who at difce tnrbed
and eat Robert B Pirrott aiross his
chest,abontone inch above the right
nipple and into the chert cavity;
there were also ten or twelve other
smaller cuts on the body.
While the cutting was in progress,
it is charged that Wallie McKnight
ran up and gave the death blow on
the Bkull with a baseball bat. The
McKnights are all brothers, living
near town, and have the reputation
of being desperate fighters and of a
rowdy disposition. They have all been
arrested and are now in the Florence
county jail.
The deceased was a young man of
about 36 years of age, a son of Benjamin
Parrott. He bore the reputation
of being honest and quiet and
reallywith no harm in him. His
body was buried this afternoon at
St Paul's Methodist church, near
CowardB, Rev Mr Patrick, pastor,
conducting the services.
