book has enjoyed- for the paat fifty
years, for' It has been that long since
it was placed on the market. The
demand for It established records
the book world that have never been

printers were rushed to meet the ap-

their advantage, held oft the negotia-

little while before the managers be-

possession. It Is known that a big
sum was paid down to the dramatists
before 'Burton Nixon received the
play. This firm who own the rights
of the novel, took the risk cheerfully
and that bis Judgment was not at
fault Is proven by the vast success
the play has enjoyed. Despite Its
cost the play has been Immensely
profitable to the management. In

"Faust”
Reports from various sections indi-
cate that there has already been a
general revival of business lu the
south, and that theatrical companies
now touring that section are reaping
the benefits of the renewed activity.
Among the enterprises that are being
received with high favor is Rosabel
Harrison's elaborate revival of
“Faust,” which her father, the late
Lewis Morrison, converted into a
household word during a quarter of
a century of Mehlstophelean energy.
The part of his satanlc majesty is
now being played by Edward N. Hoyt,
an actor who has been well schooled
In his art. and be Is proving an able
successor to his distinguished prede-
cessor. Mr, Hoyt bears a striking
resemblance to the late Mr. Morrison,
and It la said that many theatergoers
who do not follow the careers of ac-
tors closely, and to whom a program
is not Important, witness the perform-
ance under the impression that Mr.
Morrison is still raising - for
Faust and Marguerite This is only
natural. In view of the close associa-
tion between the names of Morrison
and Fauat:
Many surprises in the way of elec-
trical effects, magic and other stage
devices that tend to add the iltualon
of a stage performance are Incorporat-
ed In the. present revival of "Faust,"
In which Rosabel Morrison will ap-
pear in this city shortly. The music,
too. is of a superior order of excel-
lence and a large choir rendering the
sacred airs from the opera of the
same name. The'present production
of “Faust" will prove a most agreeable
surprise to the devotees at the Morri-
son standard.
"A Savage King”
LeComte and Flesher, in Introduc-
ing “A Savage King” to the patrons
of our theater, not only promise but
assure ua that this production is a
distinct departure from all others tbat
have been preaented in our city.
“A Savage King" waa taken from
an actual occurrence, the aceaes being
reproduced from photographs of Old
Mexico, around which the play was
written. The characters of “Agulla."
Kl Capitan”—a noted bandit—and
"Juan Alvares," figure in many parts
of Mexican history. The cast has
been carefully selected, the members
being especially engaged (or their re-
spective roles. .

FORESTRY SERVICE
Four Million Christmas Trees Supplied
Santa Clause This Year.
'» Washington, Dec. 31.—The coun-
try’s forests again have been called
upon to supply about 4 million Christ-
mas trees, and again many persons
asked themselves and have queried
the United States Forest Service, "Is
the custom a menace to the movement
for forest preservation?”
In the millions of happy homes over
the country where the younger gen-
eration has made the Christmas tree
the center of play since early Friday
morning, there are many mothers and
fathers who have given the question
more or less thought. From Sunday
schools and other organizations also,
which hold *n annual celebration
around a gayly trimmed evergreen for
the benefit of the little ones has come
the question whether it Is consistent
to urge conservation of fojrest re-
sources and then to cut nqllltons
young trees every year to afford
little joy In the passing holiday seas-
on.
“Yes, It Is consistent and proper
that the custom should be maintain-
ed” has been the answer of United
States Forester Gifford Pinchot In ev-
ery case. '"Trees are for use, and
there is no other use to which they
could be put which would contribute
so much to Joy of man as their use
by the children on this one great holi-
day of the year.
“The number of trees cut for this
use each year Is utterly Insignificant
when compared to the consumption
for other purposes for which timber
fs demanded. Not more than four
million Christmas trees are used each
year, ope in every fourth family,
planted four feet apart they could be
grown on less than 1,500 acres. This
clearing of an area equal to a good-
sized farm each Christmas should not
be a subject of much worry, when it
is remembered that for lumber alone
It is necessary to take timber from
an area of more than 10(1,000 acres
every day of the year.
“It Is true that there has been se-
rious damage to forest growth in the
cutting of Christmas trees In various
sections of the country, particularly
In the Adlrondacks and parts of New
England, but in these very sections
the damage through the cutting of
young evergreen# for use at Christ-
mas is Infinitesimal when compared
with the loss of forest resources
through fires and careless methods of
lumbering. The proper remedy Is not
to stop using trees but to adopt wiser
methods of use..
"It is generally realized that a cer-
tain proportion of land must always
be used for forest growth, just as
for other crops. Christmas trees are
one form of this crop. There Is no
more reason for an outcry against
using land to grow Christmas trees
than to grow flowers."
The Forest Service upholds the
Christmas tree custom, but recog
nlzes at the same time, that the Indis-
criminate cutting of evergreens to
supply the holiday trade has produced
bad effect upon many stands of
merchantable kinds of trees In differ-
ent sections of the country. Waste
and destruction usually result when
woodlands are not under a proper
system of forest management. For-
esters say that It Is not by denying
ourselves the wholesome pleasure of
having a bit of nature In the home at
Christmas that the problem of con-
serving the forests will be solved, but
learning how to use the forests
wisely and properly. The ravages
through forest fires must be checked,
the many avenues of waste of timber
Its travel from the woods to the
mill and thence to the market must
be closed, and almost numberless Im-
portant problems demand attention
before the Christmas tree,
Qermany is conceded to have the
highest developed system of forest
management of any country, yet Its
per capita use of Christmas trees Is
greatest. The cutting of small trees
Christmas Is not there conslder-
tn the least as a menace to the
forest, but, on the contrary, as a
means of Improving the t|forest by
thinning and os a source of revenue,
is therefore constantly encouraged.
There Is little doubt but that the
time will come when the Christmas
tree business will become a recognised
industry in this country, and that as
much attention will be given to It as
will be given to the growing of crops
timber for other uses. This time
may not be far off, for R Is already
understood that only through the
practice of forestry, which means
both the ooosdYvatlon of the timber
which remains and carefully planned
systems of reforestation, will It be
possible to supply the country with
its forty billion feet of lumber needed
each year, as well os the few million
little trees used at Christmas time.
