inspired partly by the mayoral desire to

AT THE UNIVERSITY.
Senior Play This Year of Interest
to People in Both Cities:

Inc senior class play at the university
this year is of interest to st. Paul people
because of the large number of students
from this city who will graduate with
this class. This play is by no means a.
Minneapolis affair, and will doubtless be
patronized, as heretofore, by large num-
bers of St. Paul people. The name Of the
play this year Is "Rediviva." The plot
Is strictly original and not, as formerly.
a parody or travesty on Shakespeare.
Ihe unique localization of the play will
also be an attractive feature The com
position of the play was made under the
general supervision of Miss Janet Priest
though the entire production was not left
to her, she being materially assisted by
Miss Grace Mitchell and Mr. Stephen
Baxter. Miss Priest has, throughout her
course at the university, been very
prominent in literary lines. She has, too
had considerable experience both as a.
playwright and actress. and this knowl-
edge has been of great assistance in max
ing the play so great a success
The many special songs with which the
play abounds are the productions of Miss
Mitchell, who has thus increased her
former enviable reputation along musical
and literary lines.
Mr.. Baxter has brought to the play g.
generous amount of that hurnor for which
he is famous, and his lock step scene, In
the third act, will surely bring down the
house.
The class song for the grand finale is
being written by Miss Grace Comstock
whose literary ability has been recogniz-
ed and appreciated at the university
In the assignment of parts, Miss Win
fired Snow displayed commendable sa-
gacity, and the parts are all appropriately
assigned The leading dramatic personae
are:
Janet Priest takes the principal role;
her stage name is still a secret
i. Grace Mitchell-Isa Darling.
Laura Henry-Phlox O'Fellows
Frank Force-Sawyer Cumming.
Walter Benedlct-Wood B. Swift.
Harris Newkirk-Jim Mast.
Several rehersals have already been
held. The class has secured the services
of Mr.. Clayton u. Gilbert as director of
the play. Mr. Gilbert is well known in
the Twin Cities. He is dramatic in
structor at the Manning School of Orato1y,
where he has gained worthy reputation
during the year since he came from Bos-
ton, where he graduated from the Emer-
son college. Before coming West he had
considerable experience on the stage, and
as stage manager for Harry t. South
wick, at Castle Square Garden, and when
but boy secured valuable training as
associate with Pitman, Booths manager.
During the short time he has been a
teacher his pupils have secured many
prominent positions, which reflects in a
most hattering manner upon Mr.. Gilbert.
Leading roles in the Woodward and
other theatrical companies are taken by
individuals who have studied with Mr..
Gilbert.
The specialties are under the direction
of Mr.. A. F. Hasten, the athletic mana
ger of the Commercial club, He is as
sisted by Mr.. A. H. Dunlap, member
of the senior. class, and 1t is INSURED

engaged in a family row at their home,
4S7 East Seventh street, yesterday that
landed both them and Mrs. T. Griswol at
the central station. Toucy and his wife
are charged with disorderly conduct.
while Mrs. Griswol is accused of taking a
shot at Toucy with a revolver.
The trouble appears to have started in
the Toucy family, where the husband is
alleged to have entertained himself with
smashing the household effects to pieces
and breaking out the windows. Mrs. Girls
woy says she requested Toucy to be more
orderly. When he went out the back
way, Mrs Griswol says, he hurled big
rock through her kitchen window. The
rock narrowly missed her thirteen-year-
old son. To summon help and to brighten
Toucy away, Mrs. Griswol says, she
seized her husbands revolver and fired a
shot into the air. Mrs. Griswol was re-
leased on SIS bail. The case will be
Strengthened out before Judge Orr today.

Ing.
Martin Carey. living on Sycamore
street, near. Rice. says he can't remember
how he put in Saturday night, but he
woke up yesterday morning to find him
self prisoner at the central station on
the charge of burglary. officer Hervin
found him in the Office of the Park hotel,
Sixth and Sibley streets, at 2 clock yes
terday morning. The back door was
open, and when the policeman investi-
gated he discovered Carey seated on a
table inside. Nothing was missing from
the office.
When Officer Hervin discovered GarsY
in the hotel he asked him what he was
doing. Carey made no reply, but started
toward the policeman. Officer Hervin
thought he had fight on his hands and
swung" OIL Carey with his lantern
Carey got the blow in the face and went
down. At the station his injury was
found to be only superficial and he was
locked UP. No one about the hotel knows
Carey. The clerk declares all doors were
locked when ne retired, but no keys or
implements of any kind were found on
Carey. The impression seems to be that
Carey wandered into the hotel while not
altogether accountable for his actions.
