RICHARD IAVSFlELD.
An Incident In Connection With "Or.
Jekyll and Mr.. HYDE"

Richard Mansfield. whose starring
tour this season has been Gu short by
illness. is regarded ny many as the
greatest of living American actors and
has mastered Il large number OF ex-
ceedingly difficult roles. One of the
most difficult is that of DR.. Jekyl1 and
Mr.. Hyde in the play of the same
name. When the story was still Il

In his presentation of the dual role OF
the drama made an especially strong
hit. Mr.. Mansfield always has been
ayerse to coming out and making n
bow before the curtain after a death
scene. One night a large audience
had witnessed his performance OF the
role of the genial and kindly physician
and the fiendish character into which
at times the doctor was accustomed to
turn. The curtain was slowly descend.

furtherance of peace In the world OF

gian parliament accepting the peace
prize Mr.. Roosevelt said: AFTER much

and most fitting way to apply the

pursuits. This will carry out the pur-

modern life it is as important to work
for the cause Of just and righteous
peace in the industrial world as in the
