.strate the educational value Of physical
training and noted educators and scien-
lists, from both home and abroad will
attend the festival an mark its features
in the interest Of advanced and enllght-
ened pedagogics. To elevate and per
feet the physical and mental being Of the
present and future generations IS the
work Il. which the North American
Gymnastic Union has wholly devoted it
self. It believes that all patriotic men
and women should join in that work.
The coming event has been prepared
for with systematic care. Not merely
the many thousand Turner's Of ST. Louis,
but the great body of its representative
citizens have taken an interest in the ar
rangements.

There were at least four points in CON.
nection with, the production of "Das
Stiftungsfest' at Turner Hall Sunday
evening that could not have failed of
notice with anyone. In the frs: place,
the play itself was good-capable of
testing the ability even Of artists; then
it was we'll presented, a point that speaks
highly for the versatile talents of our
local players; it was also we'll attended;
and above all it took we'll. The piece
is not one that is easy of enactment. On
the contrary it is made up wholly Of
parlor and Conversational scenes, that call
for artistic portrayal and clever acting.
Without these, it falls short of its intend
ed effect. The players, however, rose to
the occasion with a success that was real
ly surprising to those who know them
best. Hugo Fischer, for one, as the
talkative Mr.. hartwig, did as original
and smooth piece of acting as has ever
been done by an an,atuer in comedy
work on the Turner Hall stage. Mr..
Steinhauser, who is always good, was
, particularly SO this time. He seemed to
have no tro uble whatever in represent.
, ing the man of leisure, who hates to be
disturbed but who bears up in the meek.

scenes of the evening was when he an.
Hartwig met and talked each othe
