Till They Get Them.

MADISON, Wis, April Sled by the son
OF the superintendent Of schools and
scions Of some Of the best families in
Madison, 300 High school students struck
today for single or half day sessions. They
congregated in mobs about the High school
building and made such a disturbance that
a detail Of police was called to suppress
them.
About two-thirds Of the $50 students in
the school are out and the strikers are
making vigorous efforts to gain accesslons
to their ranks. AS the strike is approved
by the parents Of a number Of the stu
dents and is secretly encouraged, it is
said. by some of the teachers, IT is probable
that considerable difficulty will be ex-
perienced in settling it.

Audrey"

Mary Johnstons Audrey" was pre- scented at the Jefferson twice yesterday It was its return engagement. The mati- nee audience was large. but at night 1t dwindled to small proportions.
 Eleanor Robson, in the title role, and Frederick Perry, as Jean Hugon, the half breed are the only charac .ers worthy of special mention. Miss Robson has im- proved her interpretation of the charac- ter, but she seems to be breaking her health She looks tired and has the ap- pearance of being III. She is putting much soul Into the work, and it is tell ing on her physically.
 Perry Is decidedly the cleverest of the actors. He Is character. He seems to be what he should be, and frequently the audience lost the trend of the play in watching his work.
 One of the weaknesses of the play is the poorness of the stage settings, and their incompleteness. A serious mistake made In the church scene is having the sun to shine upwards and not down, as all good sun shine. With as bright sun the church could not possibly be as dark as 1t is. The sun should show through Il the exterior windows in- stead of two of them being dark while the other is dazzling to the eyes
 The ball room scene gives scope for an elegant setting, and the production would be improved if the room of some colonial Virginia house were copied.
