"The Proud Prince, ("

At the National Theater next week e. H.
Sothern will present Justin H. McCarthy's
new love drama, THE Proud Prince" Like
'If I Were King the surroundings are
medieval and admit of chivalrous deeds
and picturesque scenes. Mr.. Sothern ap-
pears first as a gorgeously >attired king
and changes to a hobblng court fool.
Throughout the play is this contrast, and
Sothern is called upon to portray through
his makeup, which changes almost each
successive movement of the play, as well
as through his Interpretation of the lines
the ennobling of a proud king who grows
from scoffer 1t religion to become Cod
fearing man. Miss Cecilia LOTUS appears
in the role of the heroine, the daughter of
the public eXecutioner; Rowland Buck
stone, so long with Mr.. Sothern, portrays
the role of the public eXecutioner; Mary
Hall interprets the adventures Lycabetta,
William Harris appears the archbishop.
L. Rogers Lytton, as the kings favorite
courtier, Hildebrand; Sidney Mather as
the archangel; Malcolm Bradley. as a
priest, and John Findlay, as the court fool

sioner Biddle said in substance that the po-
sition of the Commissioners with reference
to the extension of 18th and 14th streets
and the opening of Euclid place is well
known to the association, reports have
been submitted by them to Congress on
bills for those purposes. He stated that at
this time it does not seem advisable to ex-
tend the sidewalk on Kenesaw avenue, be-
cause the property owners object to paying
half of the cost. With reference to the
narrowing of Howard avenue Col. Biddle
stated that the width of this street Is forty
five feet between building lines; if the car
riageway is made thirty feet wide 1t would
leave only seven and one-half feet on each
side between the building line and sidewalk.
Such conditions. in Col. Biddles opinion,
would not be satisfactory. and for that rea-
son he favored narrowing the roadway on
Howard avenue to twentyfour feet. He
stated, however. that the Commissioners
will be glad to hear from the property own
ers on the street with reference to the mat
ter.

the papers. states that he approves Col.

being THE Grand Canyon of Arizona, the
Biggest Beautiful Thing in the World" No
American series could be complete without
at least one lecture being devoted to this
magnificent subject, which. in the present
instance. embraces not only the canyon
itself, but Indian life in the Nayajos and
Mokt reservations. Mr.. Holmes revisited
this Arizona wonderland this last summer,
so that this lecture, which is revival of
two of his former lectures, with many new
features. might be strictly up to date and
pictorially complete. The motion pictures
Of the Moki snake dancers and Navajo
races which proved of such interest in the
former lecture, will be revived.
