great measure TO establish excellent re-

he was to be sent on mission to Eu-

FRANCIS WILSON
IN PURE COMEDY
Famous Comedian in New
Roles at New National.

Francis Wilson has turned his back
upon musical farce. the work in which
for nearly a quarter of century he
has achieved his greatest successes. and
has entered q field of new endeavor
that of comedy pure and simple
Cousin Billy which he presented at
the New National Theater last night.
marks the first step In this new depart
ure. and the afterpsece. The Little
Father of the Wilderness Is still
further removed from all his former
work and gives even fuller indications
what the public may expect from him In
The future in the line he has chosen to
pursue.
1t would be too much to expect
Francis Wilson to strip off at one fell
swoop all the peculiarities that have
hitherto characterized his farcical i'm
presentations, and indeed Cousin Billy.
is too closely related to these to tempt
him away from those old companions.
He sings no longer-and for this much
thanks-and he appears minus umbrella,
nor does he incontinently fall down all
sorts of stairways, but he cannot yet
forego the temptation to stumble over
convenient baggage trucks or like i'm
FeGiments when reasonable excuse for
such gyrations offers. No doubt he will
in time wean himself from even these
habits, and meanwhile his admirers will
be only too willing TO pardon any such
slight lapses from grace.
Genuine Comedy.
Cousin Billy which Clyde Fitch has
adapted from the French of Eugene
Labiche. requires for it's title role just
such farceur as the Francis Wilson
to whom we have been accustomed all
these years. It is full of genuinely
comical situations and incidents readily
supplied by the action which involves

MADE GOOD AGENTS
Commercial Club Rendered Valuable
Assistance in Auditorium Project.

The. last issue of the Commercial
Club Chronicle contains the first state
ment relative to the insurance obtained
by the club committee in furtherance
Of the Auditorium project. After the
acceptance of the offer of the North
western National Life Insuranee com
pany to build the Auditorium if citi-
zens would take insurance with the emo.
pany to the aggregate amount of
$2,000,000, the committee appointed by
the Commercial club, turned over to the
insurance company $25,217.l9. This
amount, at $50 thousand, covered
$840,5O0 Of the amount requested.
- The premiums for the second year
were also covered by notes given to the
company. In addition $9,253.83 in
cash was collected and turned over, be-
ing equivalent to $205,50 of insurance,
Thus the committee has furnished the
company $1,O46,00O insurance.
In addition cash pledges amounting
to $2,515, or $55, 1000 in Insurance, have
not been collected and pledges to take
insurance aggregating $1s5,0oO are
pending. This makes, completed and
pending, $1,286,000 Of insurance. While
this was much less than asked for by
the company it is a creditable showing
for the committee, in view Of the oppo.
sition encountered. - -
