THE THEATRE

Advance notices are written with ad.
jectives: splendid, unprecedented, mag
niticent. unparalleled, stupendous. etc.
Thus II has come about that advance
notices do not have the effect upon the
general public that they frequently
should bave. Blanche " alsh's advance
notices stated that she was a new star
but ever since advance agents have
adopted the exclusive superlative, the
public has required other testimony.
The critics who have seen Miss Walsh
are adding the weight Of their testimony
to her ability. She is indeed star,
though not many have seen her, which
does not signify to star.
Miss Walsh is an actress OF great
power and devotion. Besides her spir.
itual gifts she is beautiful and graceful
and her dresses fit we'll and hang we'll.
Her concepts are original, sometimes
daring They are always hers. As the
play proceeds everybody in the audience
experiences the excitement Of a dis
covery. Something new and wonderful
has come into being there before you
and the happiness Of be ng among the
first to witness the beginning Of bril-
liant career is yours. The advance no.
tees have not overestimated the new
stars talent. In very truth she has
taken Miss Davenport's place, but that

Bernhsrdt herself in this scene did no
better, nor turned moro quickly from
tortured loving to tigerish hate of the
torturer. In a few years Miss Walsh
will play again perhaps in Lincoln hut

that time we shall have heard Of her

ward.
can find but one fault in her: she
was badly made up. Her cheeks we're
too red and her eyes too rigidly and
heavily penciled. She might study the
plein air school and the treatment OF
harsh outlines with bath OF atmos-
phere.
Miss Walsh was supported by Arthur
Elliott and Melbourne Mcdowell and a
large and tue company. That Mr..
Elliott was not overshadowed by the
star, but made a distinct impression OF
manliness and OF being worthy OF the
love Of 90 subtle and fine and womanly a
creature az La Tosca is no small tribute
to his ability.

ease and accuracy. He responded

Mr.. Kerr has wonderful control OF the

IDENTIFY contained choice canned fruits.
A number were too old to distinguish
from the labels just what particular
luxury had come in them. On inquiry
my informant told me that they were
souvenirs of past spreads. Some had
been bought by fellows who had made
raises" Others had been sent from
home in a Christmas or New Years
box.
1t is custom when box arrives
from home to have a spread. The re-
cipient invites all his friends and the
night is made merry. The spirit of
good-fellowship that exists among the
students of the camp, working along
together as they are for a common end,
insures a good time. A jest is made of
their temporary lack of funds, as they
have good reasons to hope that their
condition will be improved on the COM
pletion of their college course.
AS students the camp men are among
the best in college. They have an OBJ
ject in view and whatever else they
may neglect their studies are not
sighted To get as much knowledge
as possible during the years which lead
up to graduation is their ambition and
the end of all their economy. How
so much can be accomplished by them
is a marvel to those who do not know
the men and the strength of their de-
termination.
A vacation is thing few camp men
ever take. The months of summer are

means to attain his end. A genial eli
mate and an admirable university man
agenIent makes it possible for stu
dent to go through college without
cent to start with. But of course most
of them have small savings with which
to commence the term. This makes it
very much easier, as the student does
not have to take so much time from his
studies in order to earn his living. The
average cost for bed and board in camp
is 81 month.
How Go they do it?
Easy enough when you know how,
and you don't have to starve or be un-
comfortable on the 81, either. One
lone bachelor in camp actually accom-
plished the feat of living on 50 one
month, and he stands at the head in
his studies.
To accomplish such a feat in the
science of cheap living every man must
be willing to be his own housekeeper,
cook and waSherman. BY means OF the
customs and traditions handed down
by the pioneers of the camp" and his
own observations he soon becomes mas

Now. these "campites" haven't any

prosperous one in college. They all
have good digestive organs, and there
is NOT a single nut fiend content to

and dine on Walnuts and butternuts, or

into the headquarters offices of the
Canadian Pacific, said to the manager in
charge: 81 am Jim Wardner, and I am
an old friend of Tom Shaughnessey.
Will you please wire him and tell him
that I am here broke, and want trans

The manager, somewhat Impressed with
Wardner's peculiar presence and address,
telegraphed Mr.. Shaughnessey:
MAN named Jim Wardner, who says he
is an old friend of yours, wants trans
portation to Montreal. Shall 1 give it to
him?"
Back came the reply: Don't let jim

our hard experience in the past makes
us better fitted to meet the disappoint-
ments and failures that most graduates
must go through on leaving college to
begin life for themselves.
Life in the camp" continued the
student, 'is not all hard grind. Much
comes up to vary the monotony. Many
of the fellows who live here are prom
inent in college activities, particularly
in debating. Not a few of them find
time to do work in athletics as track
men or football players. all of which
goes to show that if their food is plain
it is substantial"
In glancing around the room long
row of empty cans attracted my atten-
ton. They were fastened to one of the
beams by nails driven through the
opened lids. Some had pictures of
oysters on their face; others had evil

And then a silence fell upon the little
sroup of university students VINO at
once forgot their discussion of worldly
affairs and turned their attention TO the
classics.
'aThese money matters are not worth

had arrived dead broke, as he buried

Cicero.
The three students were residents Of
what is known as "the camp" OF Stan
ford University, and in one respect
were exact replicas of the scores OF
others who have their being inside the
little city of whitewashed shacks To-
Gated just without the floral-bordered
grounds of the big institution of learn
ing The camp is one of the most
unique features of Stanford University
and within it's precincts some of the
best students there have their homes.
Almost from the day the gates were
thrown open the camp has been a part
of the university life. AT first there
were only a few tents, then couple of
houses Then the buildings increased
in number until the spot became like
a little city. 1t was thought that the
limit of the number of students in camp
was reached three years ago as the two
following years showed a marked fall
ing off But this year the number is
nearly double what it ever was before
a fact for which it would be difficult
TO account.
"Are there any rooms to be had in
camp?" 1 asked a bright, athletic young
man who was hanging out a freshly
laundered sweater on the line to dry.
"Rooms?" he said in surprise, as he
took a couple of clothes pins out of
his mouth. Il should say not"
But surely there are some accom-
modations here?" 1 said, persistentIy.
@'Oh, yes, guess we can find you a
bunk somewhere" my informant re-
piled. But don't come around here

vacant room in camp this year and I
am not certain either whether there is
even room for a bunk or not Each of
the rooms has four beds and it's pretty
close quarters, in fact it's crowding
things, but perhaps we cam find room
for one more. Are you going to batch
it or feed at the joss house?"
The Joss house" it was explained,
is the Chinese restaurant within the
precincts of the camp. This, however,
IS patronized more by outsiders, mil

think. nothing of paying 10 cents for a
meal The camp bachelors get their
meals for about cents each.
