COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS,

1t is held that plays derived from sue
cessful books appeal to two classes OIL
people, one being the readers of the
book. who go to see il in play shape out
of curiosity. and the other the regular
theater-g oers who make it point to
see everything that holds out promise
of good entertainment If this is so IT
is easy to understand that the drama
tized version of David Harum, which
is to be made known at the Crawford
theater tonight, has proven Immensely
attractive. Certainly the book has had
tremendous saIe-the publishers claim
over a half million coDies-and should
all of its readers want to see it in its
play form its success could not help but
be enormous. The opening scene of the
play is an exterior On one side is Aunt
veranda and old-fashioned garden. On
the other is David's bank. and in the
background is the big barn. In this act
Harunl sells the balky horse to Deacon
Perkins, the horse that could stand
without hitchin'." The second act shows
Harum in the Office back of the count
ing room of the bank and the third act
is laid in the sitting room of Aunt
Polly's house. The kindly side of
Harum's character is shown in this act
and in it he tells the story of his visit
to the circus with Billy P. CulloTn. Mr..
Turner's reading of the lines in this
scene are said to be exceptionally good.
The merry melange of wit, beauty and
song THE Burgomaster,' the most pro-
nOunced artistic and financial triumph
Chicago has produced in years. is the
attraction announced for Wednesday at
the Crawford Theater. When it was
produced. it was hoped that it might
attract sufficiently to pay the running
expense of the theater during the sum
mer, but like the hen that laid the gold
en- egg. The Burgomaster' was the
biggest kind of a financial and artistic
success: and instead of arousing but
partial interest it became the town talk
and more of its musical numbers struck
the fancy of the street whistlers than
any work of this kind recently given il

Washburn IS in danger of losing the
c. z. Jewell bequest of $4,000 which was
made on condition that another $1,000

ton to the college endowment. The
limit for raising the additional $4,000
was two years. and Of this time only
two weeks remain. DIT. Plass has raised
$500 and the remaining $500 must DC
secured or the $4,000 left by Mr. Jewel1

President Plass is making every effort
TO secure the additional $1,000. and in his
efforts the trustees of the college are CO.
operating. 1t is to be hoped that their
efforts VIII be crowned with success. as
the addition of $4,000 to the college en-
