Billy Barry was another fayorite on the
variety stage, though better known in
the east than in the west, and the lucky
partnership between the two has proved
veritable bonanza. They started out
with one-act farce called "Muldoon' s
Picnic and played it for season or
two as an after-piece in variety shows.
making a great hit. Last season
they engaged the author of Emmet's
Fritz in Ireland to take the farce and
lengthen it into three act comedy to
suit the peculiarities of the comedians.
This was done and the venture. which
has met with success everywhere is now
crowding the Academy of Music at
every performance with audiences who
roar at the fun furnished.
Hugh Fay portrays the dignifed old
Irishman, who has gained some wealth,
and who feels his Importance accord
ingly. 1t is a very funny bit of char
acter work, and his eccentricities and at
tempts at using high-fown language
neverfail to elicit laughter Billy Barry
represents fat, irascible Irishman, who
is generally half-stupefied with liquor,
and is good companion piece for Fay.
The play seems to show the comedians
in their best light, and that is all that is
cared

BELLS AT THE EXPOSITION
The Liberty Bell and the Old Bell
Used on a Plantation in the
Olden Time.

The Liberty bell, so often apostro.
phized by orators, has its antithesis in
the Louisiana exhibit in the govern
ment building. This is the old Slave
bell, that for many years called to work
the one hundred and fifty slaves on the
Fontainebleu sugsr plantation. This
plantation was one of those princely
domains of the early planters OF Louis
lana. Itfronted on Lake Ponchartrain
having water frontage of nine miles.
The original proprietor of the Fon-
tainebleu plantation was Mr.. Bernard
de Marigny, a loyal French settler of
Louisiana who, on the occasion of the
visit of Louis Philippe to this country !.
entertained him right royalty at his
plantation, and was in turn received by
his imperial guest at the court of France
with distinguished honors.
The bell was cast in 1926, and tradi-
ton says that Mr.. Marigny, standing
over the large caldron filed with molten
metal, dropped therein 1000 Spanish
silver dollars to give the bell silvery
tone. At the top is the legend. zap
particus a Monsieur Bernard de Mar
igny," while other inscriptions specify
the time and place of founding.
One striking point of resemblance be-
tween the ''Slaye bell and the Liberty
bell' is the fact that each has assure |
in the side. Concerning the assure in |
the Slave bell a pretty legend is related. |
The bell stood in the centre of the
plantation, and was pealed to summon |
the force of slaves to and from their |
work. Early in the morning its clang- |
ing reused the tenants of the quarters |
to their daily tasks, and at eventide its |
silvery notes were borne on the soft |
breezes to the most distant corners of !
the great plantation.
At the sound of the evening peal the
army of blacks, worn with their days
labor, would come trooping back to the
rows of cabins that formed the quarters.
A right welcome sound it was TO those
dusky toilers, and they learned TO love
the bell and repeat tales OF its wondrous
purity of tone and faf-reaching sound
It is tradition cherished by these
former slaves who daily obeyed the
BELLS behest, that On that morning when
Lincoln proclaimed emancipation and
freedom for all, the bell fell from its
ofty pedestal and rent that fssnre In its
side which now silences it. Its power
gone, with none to obey its behests, tie
bell chose perpetual silence to impotent
Dealings, and now is but mute memoir
al Of by-gone power.

Although new, or atleast comparatively
so, in this city: and the knowledge of
the game confined, to but few, yet the
idea has already taken a firm hold upon
large numbers OF our society people,

advent. Lawn Tennis has been 4
social pastime in England for
many years, and somewhere about a
decade ago, it was introduced into
America, and received with great favor.

IN it that is commendable. its success in.
any country should not be matter of
surprise. The game may be played by
two. four, six or eight players;
1t brings into requisitlon all the bodily
forces; it exercises the muscles and
nerves; 1t teaches vigilance and promp-
utude OF movement. At the same
time. although it is athletic, it's not too
violent, and while affording plenty OF
exercise, it is not exhausting, and may
be played by women and children.
