life imprisonment by the jury at
Cynthiana. Eleven jurors favored
the death penalty, but Jasper

TRYING War Time Costumes
The Hoop Skirts in when Johnny
Comes Marching Homen

In the new STANCE and Edwards comic
opera. When Johnny Comes Marching
Home that Manager f c Whitney has
produced, there are several features
worthy Of more than passing attention.
There is an atmosphere of patriotism in
theme and music which IS refreshing
and stimulating, and in The matter Of
costumes a distinctly novel and wholly
charming fashion has been found in the
exaggerated crinolines Of forty years
ago.
For the first time in the history of the
National Theater the stage has been
found too small to accommodate the
people used in an operatie production.
The stage in itself is one OF the largest
in the country. and in times past has
been found plenty big enough to take
care Of productions in which several
hundred people have been employed. But
