Academy of Music,

A little more than the average amount Of
approval was given His Last Dollar at
the Academy of Music last evening. Flea
nor Montell as Eleanor Downes, the girl
from Kentucky, scored pronounced hit
and was generally accorded first place in
the cast, although David Higgins, who,
with Baldwin G. Cooke, wrote the play,
made a close second in the race to capture
the interest of the large audience. The
melodrama is not new to local theater-
goers. but the story of the love of rough
Kentuckian, who has risen to be a mil
lionaire by living the life of a cowboy, foil
ed against the malicious amours of a
schemer, who tries to ruin him, and all the
other interesting features of the play, in
Guiding the horse racing, were amply suffi-
cient to claim fresh interest.

HOW DESDEMoNA DIED.
The Curiously Contrived Ending Of
Shakespeare Heroine.

The tragic death of Desdemona, &C.
cording to the Paris Menestrel, which
has recently completed some interest
ing researches among the archives Of
the Querini family, of which Shak-
speare's Othello was a member, really
occurred in Crete in the year 1928
Desdemona, whose name signifies
"damsel Of the house of demons" met
her death, according to this new yer.
sion in singular manner.
Othello had charged his valet with
the carrying out of his revenge The
valet accordingly took up a position
close to Desdemona's apartment,
where he started groanng and shut.
fling with his feet.
Othello thereupon requested his
wife to rise and discover the cause
of the noise.
AS she crossed the threshold a
sackful of grass was flung at her
head. She fell to the ground, and
was then assailed with a succession
of similar grass-fled sacks, being
finally smothered under the falling
ceiling and masonry Of the walls,
which had been specially loosened at
Othello's orders
