Lena AshweU d Personal
Success In cary
Dreary Drama.
Richard MansfieHs Produe'
hon of Ibsen's "Peer
Gynt' In Chicago.

From Our New York Dramatic Core
s~pondent.]
Lena Ashwell, the celebrated London
actress, has registered a distinct per-
sonal success in The Shulamlte' al
the Lyric theater. But the play, writ
ten by Clacide Askew and Edward
Knoblauch, from the novel Of the same
name. goes askew. 1t Is a weary,
dreary fabric that gives n that OBJ
noxious morning after taste.
Not a ray of light illumined this har
rowing drama of domestic infelicity on
the South African veldt until the final
curtain, and by that time everybody
was too much depressed by the long
drawn out anguish of the heroine, the
i'll used wife of the brutal Boer Of the
play. to believe that anything like as
sured happiness could be restored tc
her.
Two incidents plainly made the wom-
en- in the audience vince. These were
the cries Of a Kaffir slave girl off stage
during her supposed flashing by her
master, Krillett, and the moment when
Krillett raises his whip in air above
the shoulders of his kneeling wife.
The merits Of the play, in a word,
were it's concise writing and concen-
trated action. Its fatal defect was
exaggeration and it's monotone of suf-
fering.
Simeon Krillett, a hard, puritanical
T%ransvaal farmer, loves his young
wife, Deborah, in his own way, but
governs her with the lash like n OF
his slaves. She falls in love with his
English overseer, Warning. and he with
her. Their love is discovered by Kril-
lett, who, on the point of shooting Deb
orah, is himself shot by Warning in
self defense. The killing is discovered,
and they are only eXonerated after
| much storm and stress.
The scene Of the killing was, of
course, the plays climax. The act it.
self, however, took place off the stage.

RAPIDLY ORGANIZING
Date of Tournament, Consideration Of

Followers Of tenpins generally are in
terested in the next move of the recent
" formed national body. Several i'm
portaut matters will have to be dealt
with at the coming meeting to be held
on May 10. and among other things the
question of individual registration is TO
be threshed out. At the last session in
Brooklyn. on April 10, when permanent
organization was effected. this policy
was suggested by some of the delegates
present. though no official action was
then taken
Another question has TO deal with the
date for the national tournament With
many, II had been taken for granted
that the tourney would be held some
time in March. but it has been suggest
ed that a week, either In the latter part
of September. or early in October. would
be better. Some declare this TO be a
capital idea giving the new body an op-
portunity to start things off with rush
at a time when the bowlers have not
become tied up with minor tournament
euga gementS.
A committee is now at work on a con-
stitution and bylaws and all bowlers
realize the necessity for careful action
along these lines. Those having opinions
on the subject. or that peTta ming to in
