DRAMATIC CLUB
Plays to Packed House Everyone
Pleased With "My Uncle
From Japan"
NEAT SUN REALIZED
FOR SWEET CHARITY.

Last Saturday evening at Tenn
pie Theatre there was presented
by local talent, the beautiful lit
tie comedy, "My Uncle From
Japan.'' The production took
place before a large and aDpreci-
ative audience, and judging from
comments made before. and after
the play this company scored a
decided hit all along the line.
The excellent manner in which
the play was presented proved
that the cast had made a careful
and intelligent study of each sit
uation.
Mr.. III. l.. Browning as "Capt.
Robert Racket" the ever ready
and versatile liar, was all
that could be desired and added
laurels to his previously made
reputation as an amature actor.
Mr.. John L. Long in the title
role was fine and his efforts to
solve the various mysteries were
indeed mirth provoking.
DR.. A. O. Sisk gave such a re.
alistic performance of "Timothy
Tolman,n the hen-pecked hus-
band, that he is having difficulty
in convincing his friends that he
does not play the role in real life.
Mr.. T. G. Williams, both as
"Mr. Dalroy" and "Hobson," the
waiter, was right at home and
made the most of both parts.
AS to the ladies of the cast,
without any exaggeration it
would be indeed difficult to find
their equal among amatures.
Miss Georgia Wyatt as "Clarice"
was beautiful and pleasing and
read her lines as to the manor
born. Mrs. W. S. McGary as
"Mrs Tolman," was excellent
and played her part to perfec-
tion. The part of katy" the
mischievous maid, was we'll taken
by sMiss Mabel Browning and
many favorable comments on her
work have been heard. Master
Bedford Webb made as fine a
"Tootsy'' as one could wish. At
the end of the first act song
and conversational speciality was
introduced by Mrs. McGary, Miss
Wyatt, Messrs. Browning and
Rash that brought down the
house and was repeatedly en-
cored.
Between the second and third
acts "Swartzbrodt" and "Pickle-
mann (F. d. Rash and DR.. MIS-
bet) made their appearance in
costume and produced much
mirth and enjoyment by their
comic appearance and Dutch Ian
guage. These specialties added
greatly to the enjoyment OF the
evening.
During the progress of the play
Mrs. w. X. Nisbet rendered sew.
eral beautiful selections on the
piano and by accompaniment;
added much to the vocal selec-
tions.
Quite snug sum was realized,
which will doubtless be contrib
uted to some good and worthy
purpose.

expedite the equipment of the
entire army with the new field
gun. This arm though of slight
ly smaller calibre than the one
which it replaces, will fire fifteen
shots a minute, whereas it was
possible to fire only two or three
with the old gun. The new pro-
jectile is a lso considerably
heavier. 1t is the intention of
the ordnance department to
equip the army with 250 batter
les of the new gun, which is a
moderate estimate since it will
mean only two guns to each
thousand men IN an army of
500. 900. At the present rate of
supply it will be 1919 before the
entire army will be provided for.

FATHER OF HIGH
LICENSE IN CHICAGO

Chicago, March l4.-Wm. r. Harper,
who took an active part III conducting
the campaing for the $1,000 saloon
license, has made a study of the asloon
license question for neatly a quarter
of century. He is the father of the
state law which plac es the minimum
to the saloon license fee at $500. In
Chicago was S52 year, an attempt
was made 10 have the city council in
crease the figure to $l03. This was
strongly opposed by the saloon keepers.
Mr.. Harper was asked to take hand
III the struggle for higher license and
became a successful candidate for the
state Legislature and served IN that
body in1S8o and 1881, At that session
he introduced the bill placing the $500
minimum license fsgure and had it
passed. He promised his constituents
before his election that if he should he
elected he would work for such a bill.
After the passage of the bill IL, 900
saloon keepers throughout the state
organized to repeal the law ut the next
session, but their efforts failed.
When the struggle began few weeks
ago for the high license measure Mr..
Harper was asked to lend assistance 20
it. He took up the question at once
and brought results from nearly every
organization. He directed influence in
his own way, and from the time the
ordinance was first sent to the council
committee he worked INCREASINGLY for
its passage.
