.-.E Story p.
It is many years since Mr.. Willard
first gave "The Professor Love
Story" in Minneapolis, but time. has
not robbed the play of any Of Its
whimsical charm and, slender as the
plot is, it. is SO interwoven with real
Barrie humor and amusing situations
and there is such a splendid assortment
Of quaint characters that it is no won
der it has perennial life ..."
Mr.. Willard makes eof the professor
such an absentninded,v eccentric, ANUS
ing student bitt irascible, perhaps, as
middle-aged student is when abruptly
called, from, his vast world: Of thought
to this minor sphere-but lovab!e
withal. He. is so UNCONSCIOUS in his
efforts to assist the doctor discover the
work since the arrival of the. pretty
secretary, his ,glances at Lucy White
are SO fondly fatuous, his amazement
so real when the doctor finally dag
nosed his trouble as love that it is with
injured dignity he demands the name
Of the woman, and there is even a hint
Of fear in his voice as he begs to know
if it is "the> little .dowager." Unbc
lieving as he is, he is afraid, and flies
rotary under his arm. ..
The love which he. regards as n
fgment of the doctor g brain, brings
back the youth he has lost over his
studies and he romps in. the wheatfeld
at Tullochmain with Lucy White like
an overgrown ,schoolboy, and it is only
when he holds the swooning Lucy in
his arms that he realizes that the doctor
had made correct diagnosis. His total
lack of self-consciousness thru every
emotion is one Of the charms of the
character and the Wholehearted Joy
| with which he shares his hopes with
| his unsympathetic sister and the wholly
| sympathetic doctor, has a simplicity
that borders almost on pathos. The
buoyancy Of youth has returned only
thru his love and when Lucy refuses
| age slip back one by one to be thrown
| tangle is unraveled. Amusing as the
character is, Mr.. Willard gives it a
dignity that makes his comedy pure

MA, pr. Richard
Burton's dramatization of the
story Of Rahab and the fall Of Jericho,
as told in the book Of Joshua, has at
last been issued. It holds both pleasure
and disappointment for the reader. The
pleasure lies in the beauty Of the story
that has been woven about Rahab, her
rise from base, tho luxurious, life to
high things and place Of honor in the
history Of a great people; also in the
classic form and dignity of the verse
in which the story is told, and in the
rich oriental pictures sketched both in
the spoken lines and in the stage sfbus-
iness.' In all Of this the reader will
take keen delight. There will be some
disappointment, however, in the fail
ure in intensity Of some Of the climactic
approaches, their failure to move and
thrill, in the lack Of color and strength
In some of the characters, in the alb
sence Of any Of that subtitle but illumin-
ating wit that is so great part of the
dramatic art, and once more in certain
seemingly unnecessary departure from
the Bible story.
The play opens with scene in RAJ

wall of Jericho. The "doors are draped
with rich hangings, and fanked by mar

The Way to Force Action.

The following states Of the union
have presented resolutions or memorials
to congress, thru their Legislatures, ask
tion by which senators will be made
elective by popular vote: .
California, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Minnesota, New York, Ohio. Oregon,
Washington, Wisconsin. Wyoming, Mon
tana, Utah, Florida, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Nevada, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, South Dakota, Colorado,
Michigan, Nebraska, Missouri.
Twenty-eight out of forty-fve states,
or very near two-thirds of the whole
number, have thus gone on record, some
Of them two or three times. Congress
has turned a deaf ear to all the petit
tions and memorials, and as long as
the senate is ruled by hide-bound con-
servatism, it will never voluntarily SUBJ
nit such an amendment.
There is way to compel action, and
it is about time for a forward move
ment all along the line. If the legis-
latures of two-thirds Of the states re-
quest it, congress is compelled to call
a constitutional convention for the pur.
pose Of submitting amendments. A
number Of the states in the list given,
including Minnesota, have put their
resolutions in that form, but others have
been content with a plain memorial. If
thirty of the states take extreme ac.
ton, the question will no longer lie in
the discretion Of congress. It will GO
| instead to a constitutional convention
which may propose still other amend
ments, but will certainly submit one
for popular, election of senator's The
amendment will then become operative
when ratified by the legislatures OF
three-fourths Of the states-thirty -fou,

Of a legislature, and but for the pres
