the advance OF the drama In spite, however,
of the many defeCts-irom a realistic, up-to-
date standpoint-that the play abounds in,
the strong neart interest that runs through
the drama will serve 10 make it interesting to
all ages, sorts and conditions of patrons of

New Actors Make Their Debut
at the Alcazar in
"Haz6l Kirke." "
Good Performance of "The Hugue-
nots" at the Tivoli-New
0rphenm Act.

Augustus Thomas has inaugurated
new and startling departure in his breezy
comedy, Don't Tell Her Husband"
which was presente Tor the first time on
any stage by the Frawley company at the
Colum bia last night. His theme is the
violation of the eighth commandment, a
subject which would scarcely arouse expec-
tations of prolonged hiIarity. Mr..
Thomas has treated his iugubrious sub
ject in such gay and festive vein, how
ever, that the big audience fairly SIM
mered with mirth.
The ridiculous situations in "Don't Tell
Her Hus band" spring from The well
meaning efforts of laundering artist to
tell his friend of his domestic infelicity.
Every one but Thomas Bancroft can see
that Mrs. Bancroft Is forge tting poor
Thomas for the sake OF Lawrence Chand-
ler, roue. Francis Eli, mutual friend,
undertakes to stop this thing," and the
awful complications into which he gets
himself in the purSu of his resoIu-
ton forms the plot of the play.
After some rather verbose conversa-
tions in the first act, the fun becomes fast
and furious. At times the merriment
verges on the farcical. The dialogue
scintilIates with smart sayings and there
are very few expressions that would shock
the most prudish. But with all his light,
feathery treatment, Thomas has chosen
somewhat grewsome theme to jest with.
The audience received Don't Tell Her
Husband with outward and visible signs
of favor. They called The author before
the footlights and hugely relished little
speech which was smart aad half

No DOUBT Don't Tell Her Husband" IS
in tended to be taken as a bumorously
cynical comment or the morals and man
ners of to-day. AS the ma jority OF thea
ter-goers do not want the labor OF wrest-
ling with mental problems, however, it
will probably be regarded as funny play
with no deeper intention than 10 make
people laugh. There is absolutely no
pathos or sentiment in 1t and very little
preaching. Under its semi-farcIcal situa-
tions there is a good deal of truth to life,
however, and most OF the characters are
cleverly drawn.
Francis Eli, the officious friend, bears
the burden of lhe performance on his
shoulders. When Harry Corsen Clark
has ceased to share this burden with the
prompter he will no doubt give a more
clear-cut rendering of the character.
Francis Carlyle, as the husband, had not
much to do except be deceived with guile
less unconsciousness, and ne did that nat
urally. Frederic Perry was eff ctive as q
friend who refused to meddle and Frank
Worthing was himself as the gay deceiver.
Among the women Miss Selma Johnson
was good as the erring wife, and Blanche
Bates was in her element In the Iole OF
frivolous grass widow.
Don Tell Her Husband" is clever,
amusing play. If the humorous treat
ment of social problems commends itself
to the general public it may prove an
epoch-maKing play.

solution of these great questions the
farmer must be more than mere
farmer. He must be, in addition, q

that salvation for agriculture must

increasing the intelligence and ina

AS member of the community he

T.. II. Hatcher, ESQ.

Mr.. Hatcher's Interpretation of
the statute is this: "rhe statute is
plain, unambiguOus and imperative.
The first provision of The statute is
that every telephone company doing
u general telephone business in the
state, shall supply all applicants for
telephone connections and facilities,
without discrimination or pdrtidLity,
provided such applicant comply or
offer to comply with the reasonable
regulations of the company. This
compliance or offer of compliance is
the sole condition imposed by the
statute in order to entitlo eCeru
applicant in the state to the benefits
OF the statute. Again the statute
provides that no such telephone
company shall impose any condition
or restriction upon any applicant
that is not imposed upon all persons
or companies in like situations.
If the attempt Were made to contine
the operation OF the statute 20 Civ
ing equal rates and facilities only to
such persons as lived in the same
towns orscities, ii would inject into
the act Limitation not provided for,
and the same logic could confine its
operations to persons living in the
same civil district, or same ward of
any city, or on the same side of anv
given street, etc. No two persons on
earth are i'll pre- cisely the same con-
| dItiOns. No court would cOnfine the
statute, as believe, to any arbitrary
and seuselesS limits. have given

ties, state and national, and also the

merce Commissions, as to the mean

| wholesome statute"

l.. L. Padgett, Esq.

Mr.. Padgett's construction of the
statute was as follows; IL think the
statute was intended to compel tele-
phone companies to give every citi-
Zen in the state equal rates and fa-
cilities without partiality or dis
elimination. Indeed, the statute
so provides in unequivocal terms,
and there is but little, if any room
for construction. The statute does
not say that every applicant in any
given community shall be supplied
without partiality or discrimination,
and the courts can not and will not,
as think, inject any such limita-
tion into the plain and imperative
requirements of this statute, which
is one of the most beneficial ones
that the Legislature ever enacted,
as telephones have become a public
necessity
