LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.

The performance of King Lear Sat
urday night by Frederick Warde and
his company was deliberately staged.
The piece was well played, but it is one
of the most difficult Of Shakespeare s

a select and cultured one. The prices

In this connection, it might be said
that the last three attractions at the
Grand Opera House were such that it
is doubtful whether it would pay Man
ager Crawford to book them again.

CURTIS WORKING HARD.
CircuIates a Petition in the House for
Consideration of Topeka Bill.

Washington. Dec. 21.-The house
committee on public buildings and
lands has reported a supplemental list
Of public building bills. The list re-
ported week ago carried with it APP
preparations amounting to "a 1920 600,
While those reported today carried APP
preparations aggregating $l0,7130O0-
Among the bills reported today were
Kansas City, Kan, $3.50 600.
Shortly after the committee had re-
ported the bills Congressman Curtis, of
Kansas. whose bill for a public build
ing at Topeka, Kan, was at the head
of the first list reported by the commit
tee. circulated petition on the floor of
the house appealing to the committee
on rules to set aside a day for the con-
sideration of public building bills. His
petition was nufaerOusly signed The
probability is that the committee on
rules viii accede to the request. In the
house however there is likely TO be
serious opposition offered to the bills
on the ground that the financial cOndi-
ton Of the government is not such as
to justify the great expenditure which
is proposed.
