PLAYHoucsE NOTES.

The Williamsport News says: "The best that Paul Gilmore ever did, and he has been the central figure in many theatri- cal successes, is the splendid characteri- zation of Tony Allen in Rida Johnson Young's play, "The Boys of Company B. which was presented before large and enthusiastic audience last night at the Lycoming Opera house. MT. Gilmore has always been a favorite here, but he has now established himself more firmly than ever in the hearts of Williamsport playgoers."
 The Toledo Blade says: "'The best mu- sical comedy that has appeared at the Lyceum in several years. If any further tribute is needed it might incidentally be added that the star of the play is the cleverest little comedienne who has flick cred before the footlights in the St. Clair street playing house in many moons. Florence Gear, the winsome, delightful star, was a revelation to all who saw her yesterday for the first time. An ar tiste to her finger tips, her touch is sure, and as light as thistledown.
 Miss Olive Wright, the diminutive Kip DO Kid' of the When Old New York Was Dutch" company, in which popular play Al Fl. Wilson is starring this sea- son, has signed five-year contract with Manager Sidney R. Ellis, who will pro- duce juvenile play next season in which this "wee bit' of an actress will have the leading character.
 In '"rhe Revelation Miss Shaw is re- ported as having been assigned a part of exceeding value, inasmuch as 1t allows her talents a wide range Messrs. Mar tin X Emery have, in fact, secured an exceptional cast throughout for the pre- sentation of Henry Knotts wonderful so- ciological play.

 Men From Rhodesa.
 Another possible source of labor is Rho- desia There are now many negroes from Basutoland and Bechuanaland here. During my stay in Rhodesla I was told that the negroes of that country make fairly good workmen and that if rightly superintended they will form an eff cien- labor supply. They move slowly, but they work steadily and do not loaf on the job'' like the average American or European. The ordinary working day Is about eleven hours long and the wages in the mines there is $10 per month, in- cluding the cost of feed. On railroad construction ordinary workmen are paid s 8 month and receive their food in addition. The extension of the Cape to Cairo railroad is being constructed with native labor and l am told that these negroes can lay track almost as fast as the best track-laying machines of the United States when manipulated by our white labor. During the last stretch of the railroad which ends at Broken Hill they laid five and one-half miles in eleven hours and on the average they laid more than mile of track day for something like 400 miles. In this work the rails and steel ties were brought along on the cars as fast as the track was laid The natives took the rails from the cars and carried them to the ties. About 15 men were required to each rail and the stream of carriers went on continuously from daylight to dark. I doubt not they could do equally we'll in the mines.

Supervisor William Ryan will leave Monday morning for Pleasant Valley, where he will inspect the new road re- gently completed, connecting the Pleas ant Valley section with Globe.
 This road was instigatcd by the pres ent board of supervisors and is said to be one of the finest county driveways in the county. Mir. Ryan s mission to the locality is to personally see that the road is as it should be, and if not, to have it put in good travelling condition at once.
 The opening of the Pleasant Valley section by this road will give to Globe merchants much trade that has hereto fore gone to Holbrook. In the past peo- pie from that section only visited the county seat when they could not escape the trip, but the new road makes this their natural trading point.
 While the construction of this thor oughfare was difficult piece of work, it has been consummated at only a nom inal expense to the taxpayers. It will prove source of great satisfaction to the people of that section and a source of profit to the busintss men of Globe.
 Supervisor Ryan is an enthusiastic advocate of good roa Is and has been in strumental in havin ga road construc ted, opening to the county seat the Christ. mas and Winkelman districts. MT. Ryan will look after the last named road be- fore returning to Globe.
