RUNS The GAMUl
OF DRAMATIC ART
LYCEUM LIST RANGES FROM
.sUNCIiE SAM TO "PARsIFAL.
Miss Grace Hayward Has Already
Been Cast as Kundry-Other Parts
Not Yet Asisgned-In the NIinne-
apolis Version, the Music Will BE
Simplifled.

Bayreuth, New York, Minneapolis
Such Is the march Of the production Of
"Parsifal," proclaimed by many mu.
steal experts as Wagner's masterpiece
The production was given in New
York after weeks and months of prep
aration and will have its first intro
duction to a Minneapolis audience al
the Lyceum theater during the week
of Feb. %. The local promoters think
that the work of the New York artists
will greatly simplify the task of pre-
senting "Parsifal" in this city, altho
the task is one which only the braVest
hearted manager of a stock company
would intelligently undertake.
Minneapolis will be the third place
or city in the world to hear Parsifal,' u
said Treasurer Frank F. Wisner of the
Lyceum theater to-day. "Bayreuth and
New York went crazy over it. Wag-
ner describes it as a music-drama, and
as for myself I would rather hear
Wagner music than any other. 1t was
an enormous success in New York
and we will make it the same here
The ministers Of New York objected
to 1t, but after they saw it and were
impressed with the solemn dignity and
stateliness of the production, their op-
position ceased.
1T Is solemn and stately. At s
o'clock a bugle from the gallery calls
for order in that part of the house,
and at $40 o'clock the bugle will
sound from the balcony. At 8:15 the
curtain rises. and late corners will not
be admitted to the house until after
the end Of the first act.
1t takes twenty musicians in the
orchestra to handle the music alone,
and I guess we will have to send to
Chicago for the twelve tempters who
appear In the garden scene. All they
have to do is to do a little dance and
look pretty. But maybe we can
get them In Minneapolis. We have
ordered 500 yards of canvas. so it can
be seen that we are doing something
to start in time for this production.
We have When We Were Twenty
One on this week. Next week we
will present Whose Baby Are You p
and In Mizzoura" the week after that.
Then comes .Parsifal.' 1t will be" the
greatest production ever attempted by
a stock company. 1t cost the pro-
moters 100000 to put it on in New
York.
Miss Grace Hayward will take the
part Of Kundry. The balance of the
cast has not been made up yet Mr..
Ferris will not appear in tParsifal.'
When Wagner died he did not want
this piece produced anywhere but
Bayreuth for thirty years. The music
has a great deal to do with the pro-
duction, and it cannot be given by an
orchestra of less than eighteen pieces.
Mr.. Ferris has made arrangements
with the powers that be in New York
for the full score and manuscript and
the arrangement for Minneapolis is
now being made in that city. The mu-
sic has been somewhat simplified and
some Of the recitatives in grand opera
style have been put into the form Of
spoken lines, while the original music
is carried along simultaneously by the
orchestra, but it will be Parsifal, all
right, and it's due to make a HIT

Wild Gusher at Jennings,

A dispatch to Wednesdays papers
says: The Jennings oil field has an
other wild we'll. This time it is the
Tierce No. 3. The liner was set Mon
day and the we'll was washed Tuesday
morning. That afternoon the work of
taking out the wash pipe was begun.
Oil, gas and sand began to come out
with roar. The string of wash pipe
was thrown up through the derrick,
knocking out the crown block, and
the pipe was tossed to a height of 400
feet. The well continued to throw
mud, sand and oil and gave wonder
full exhibition of the immense gas
pressure. The blowing up of the
wash pipe ruined the derrick, and it
collapsed at 3 o'clock Tuesday after
noon. There is no way of shutting
off the well and oil men say it will be
hard proposition to get it under
control.

cided to raise bunch of sheep on
their second growth rice. The har-

already there is excellent pasture. A
few days ago 1000 sheep were purchas-
ed and the plantation is now being
stocked with them. This is another
sign of progress in the rice belt.

Kahn, president of the National Rice
Mills, of New Orleans, and is engaged

refute Mr.. Kahn's arraignment of
rice toll milling and show wherein the
system as practiced by the mills is
not preiudicial to the rice farmers
interests, as claimed by Mr. Kahn.
Mr. McFaddin was seen by a news
paper correspondent and asked for
an expression touching Mr.. Kahn's
article, in which the challenge to buy
the farmers rice at certain price
per sack was published to the world.

A pecial from Lake Charles Fri
day says: AN old negro, a former
slave, Benjamin Small, is perhaps
one of the Oldest negroes living to-
day. Small was born in Virginia 1l6
years ago, and carries documentary
proof Of his age. Old Uncle Ben is
visiting relatives here to-day. He
stated that when Washington died he
was II years old. He speaks of LAT
ayette, whom he saw and heard SPEAK
in 1919. Small's wife was born in
1916, and still lives, though blind.
The aged pair are the parents of
fifteen children. He was formerly
owned by Philip Cobia, of South
Carolina. The old negro was brought
to Louisiana in 1893.

Mangled by a ThreShing Machine.

A frightful and what came near
proving fatal accident befell Claude
Morgan, aged about % years, while
rice near Iowa Station Sat
urday morning.
The separator was in motion and
young Morgan reched his left arm
through the betting near q rapidly re-
volving pulley to remedy a defect and
in some way his clothing caught in the
belt. In an instant he was caught in
the big pulley and before the machine
could be stopped was twisted into
every conceivable shape.
Those employed about the machine
ran to his assistance and took him to
the home of Bert Longenbach, nearby,
in an unconscious condition. DR.. j..
II. Cooper, of Welsh, was hurriedly
summoned and upon arriving there
made hasty examination of the young
mans condition and found that the
collar bone was broken and the left
arm broken in two places, once near
the shoulder and the other near the
elbow His head was badly bruised
and after regaining consciousness
complained more of his right arm
paining him than the mangled left.
DR.. Cooper set the broken bones and
rendered other medical assistance.
Sunday second visit was made and
reported his patient resting easily and
doing as nicely as could be expected.
Young Morgan was unconscious for
over two hours.

Little Courtesy Shown.

The side track from the main line to
the Gulf rice mill has been completed,
but in nowise through the courtesy of
the railroad company. The Gulf Rice
Milling Company asked for switching
privileges when the matter of building
a new mill was first contemplated, and
the answer was to build on the site of
the Welsh rice mill that was destroyed
by fire. A poorer location could not
have been selected and the proposition
was declined and a site selected east
of town. The railroad company re-
fused to build siding, and the rail-
road commission was appealed to in a
vain hope of inducing the company to
build the track, Mr.. Miller having
made two trips to Baton Rouge to
confer with members of the commits
sion, but that body refused to inter-
fere.
The mill was therefore compelled
either to build the track or haul its
output distance of half mile to the
depot to be shipped.

Cotton in Caicasien.

a Jennings person is advertising
for fifty cotton pickers. That doesn't
sound as though Calcasieu is an ex-
elusive rice growing parish. Let
others try hand at it.
Says the Jennings Times-Record:
1.-The Cary cotton gin was again in
operation Tuesday. Up to the end of
last week there had been seventeen
bales ginned this year. On Friday
eight bales were run through, four of
them being for farmers residing near
Elton. These men received cash for
their cotton which turned loose about
$3.50 in cash, most of it being spent in
Jennings. This simply shows how
easy it is to turn cotton into money.
1T seems that the farmers around
Elton and Oberlin prefer to bring their
cotton to Jennings instead of taking
it to the Oberlin gin as it costs them
only 80 cents per hundred pounds to
have it ginned here whereas at Ober-
lin it would cost them so cents per
hundred.
&c. c. Cary says that all the
cotton ginned here this year is of fair
quality or what cotton experts would
term middling."
Those who experimental with cotton
this year in the vicinity of Welsh are
highly pleased with the results and
and will increase the acreage next
year. {. j. Miller has twenty acres
on the Mayville plant, and E. Schartf,
&. A. Austin and j. W. Bower each
have a small crop on their respective
farms near town, the latter being
within the city limits, and all are
jubilant.
Grow less rice, more cotton. corn
and truck, stock your farms with hogs
and cattle to consume the surplus for
age, and within two or three wears
