hensiye genius that the actor IS not
obliged to depart from his plays for
material for unlimited scenic ex
ploitation. 1t has been argued that
but little scenery was employed in
the day of Elizabethan drama Ger
tain it is, that no plays lend them
selves more splendidly to the pur-
poses of the scenic artist and costum-
er, as well as of the actor, than
those of Shakespeare. One of the
most striking of the great poets
scenic dramas is Anthony and Cleo
patra," which Mr. Hanford selects as
his subject for a spectacular revival
this season. 1t is particularly fitting
that Mr.. Hanford should follow his
production of Julius Caesar" which
created such profound impression
last winter, with the story of the
Roman warriors historic amour
with Egypt's queen.
Like all his other representations
this latest contribution to theatric
entertainment by Mr.. Hanford will
be dominated by the spirit of modern
ism. This does not imply that the
performance will be found lacking
ia respect for the highest traditions
associated with IL, or that a garbled
and mutilatcd text will be thrust be-
fore the public. The same complete

worthy in this But there will be no
sighting the opportunities for
pageantry, on the preteSt of conform
ing to the custom of Shakespeare
own time. The play will be given
with the wealth of real magniicance
which the poets own text suggests
so warmly and constantly that there
can be no doubt of its existence in
his own imagination.
Mr.. Hanford has turned to several
specialists for assistance in this en-
terprise His scheme of stage pict

experience in designing and executing
beautiful and correct settings for

Card From Secretary Owen.

The alacrity with which our cit izens are joining the board of trade and the interest they are display ing in going after possible enter prises and additions to our city should be cause for congratula- ton to every citizen of Conway who is proud of his home town and wants to see it do better. Con- way people are made of the kind of stuff that wins and you will yet see us counting among our improve ments, thousand or two more in- habitants, some factories, a state normal school and waterworks. Let every citizen put his shoulder to the wheel by joinng the board of trade. Don't think you are too small to be of any help. No one is so insignificant but what their help is needed. It's numbers and union that we want. See the sec retary and make application for membership. Only $I.oo mem bership fee and 50 cents a month dues.

CONWAY DEFEATS MALVERN
Visitors are Easy to Local Baseball Team
 Tuesdays Game a Walkover.

The first game was hard fought ten-inning game, though Conway had the advantage throughout get ting men on bases and won out, 4 to 5. With the score tied in the ninth, the locals filled the bases with only one out, but could not score. In the tenth, Erwin singled, was sacrificed to second and scored on wild throw to catch him try ing to steal third. Crosby pitched pretty game for Conway and the visitors three runs came in on a long hit with two men on bases and an error in the sixth inning, after two were out.
 Tuesday'sgame was pretty cor- test until the fourth, when the locals fell on Wallis and made seven runs. After five or six had been added in the seventh, the wis itors lost heart and finally quit with the score IS to 5 for Conway. Haydon's pitching for Conway was good enough to win almost any amateur game.
