this season. The stage settings
are fresh, realistic and we'll exc.
cuted, the costumes are accurate
and without a suggestion of the
tawdry, and the other proper
ties r in keeping. In main
part the cast is composed Of
young people, full of life and
spirit and ambition to please, es-
pecially in the roles which are
most in the limelight. While
different in general personal APP
pearance from any others who
have appeared here in the role,
George Manning's work in the
role of Major Crofton, father Of
the heroine. leaves little to be de-
sired. Miss Marion Drexel, in
the role of the heroine, Stella
CrOfton, deserves much credit
for her artistic work. She is a
pretty, graceful young woman of
sweet voice and attractive stage
presence. though at times her
annunciation is faulty, due in all
probability to a cold. The role
of the hero. Burleigh Mayor, is
creditably handled by John Fla
Wan Ryan, a young actor full of
fire and plainly a painstaking
actor. At times he is slightly
inclined to lend a bit too much
energy to his lines. but on the
whole earned frequent applause.
Harry Linsen's Paul Daubeny is
thoroughly good in main part,
and the same is to be said of
Frank E, Mortimer's portrayal
of Col. Mayor. E. L. Delaney,
as Steve Daubeny. the villain, is
rather too vehement at times in
his line reading. but succeeded
in earning his laurels by incur
ring the evident intense dislike of
the audience. The comedy work
done by Lilly Sinclair, as Amer
Lizer. the p%icaninny; by Stella
.Congdon. as Aunt Doshey,
created much merriment. The
rest of tile members of the cast
filled in in satisfactory manner,
all working earnestly and each
contributing his and her portion
to the success of the production.

some of the Reasons.

1.-The principal reasons why the bureau
has been able to serve so large a number
are. first, the necessity OF remembering but
one address for all questions; (O the in
fluence Of the General Federation which is
fully recognized by those concerned in the
consideration Of public welfare work; (l
the value Of a clearing house for any great
organization; "a the worth Of a permanent
repository for the history, publications, and
statistics OF the federation.
" Into the bureau have poured year tooAs.
study programs, syllabi, magazine arti-
Giles. press clippings, magazines, books,
pamphlets and copies of noted addresses
and papers prepared for club programs.
Today the bureau has more than twenty
five hundred study outlines which may be
recommended after the test Of club use.
In many cases these study outlines are
supplemented by syllabi, which nave been
prepared by experts. The subjects covered
by these programs for study include a
great variety OF subjects under the gen
eral head Of art, history. literature. travel.
science, etc.
The further We have gone with the work
Of the bureau the more convinced we have
become that there is yet much ground un-
touched, which the bureau should cover
We nave only begun in a small way "a
show what may be accomplished. 1t should
and must be a tower Of strength to the
General Federation, whose servant it Is
II should serve the officers and chairtnen
Of the state declarations, clubs, and individ.
ual members the place where help may be
sought. 1t should encourage the weary,
hearten up the sick. and revive the dying
club. II is from the active, alert, pro-
gressive club hat we get our inspiration
and strength. II is to the club needing
suggestions. direction and encouragement
that we give aid. The officers and chair
men OF committees are In a sense experts,
and by their superior intelligence the plans
are laid out and the policies determined
upon. But these officers have too great
a burden Of club work 10 have to deal
with the great mass OF details which de-
wolves upon the execution of these plans.
These expert leaders should be saved as
much Of the routine as possible In order
that the entire federation may have the

WORK OF THE WOMENSCLUBS
Eastern Woman Discusses Value Of
Bureau Of Information.
PRACTICAL AID TO CLUB WORK
Mrs. Mary I. wood, Bureau Manager,
Makes Report of ITS
clubs Begin to Appreciate
Its value.

There is probably no more valuable de-
partment in the organization of the Cen
eral Federation OF Women's Clubs than
the bureau Of Information, although CLUB
women generally are only beginning TO APP
preciate its value. The following discus
sion by a prominent club woman recently
is worthy the consideration of all:
'It is time for club women to realize that
the duplication Of work Is a serious waste
of strength and ability. LIBRARIANS have
told me that year after year busy women
spend hours in searching out material for
papers that are read before their clubs,
and then filed away out Of reach of other
women who go over the same ground.
witt a central bureau or committee OF
a practical kind such fundamental infor-
nation as to laws, experiments and printed
opinions of educators would have been
available at once. Instead of that, twenty
or more women painfully hunted out the
Eame facts, each one probably incomplete
in some vital point, and the result of the
work of the twenty has left no record Tor
the twenty or forty women who will do
the digging again this year. Industrial
education, forestry questions, public play
grounds, are topics that will loom large
with club women for the next few years,
and IL should DE the purpose Oh leueId-
ton committees to anticipate such ques-
lions OF general interest by bringing to-
gether all the material acquired by indi-
vidual clubs and members. The success Of
the General Federation bureau of informa-
ton will afford an incentive for similar
state clearing houses for clubs, and all
the collections can finally be turned over
to the General Federation files, The scope
and magnitude of this combination of club
women has only lately been fully realized
by the club women themselves, and within
the organization are hundreds of women
fully alive to the strength and force that
lies in unification Of methods of admins
traitor, and | look forward to seeing this
great organization become more and
more businesslike and efficient in the de-
tails of management.

Mrs. Woods Report.


"No department Of the Gen raj Federation
of Woman's clubs bears such a close re-
lationship to individual clubs and club
women as the bureau of information. Mrs.
Mary l. Wood, the manager of the bureau,
made her first report to the biennial show
ing the extent of the work OF that office.
Mrs. Wood said: The credit for the great
plan, the immediate thought which animated
and set in motion the establishment of the
bureau. was Mrs. Decker's, although we
find in~Mrs. Moore's report of reciprocity
committee at the st. Louis. biennial the
first suggestion. 1t was in response to a
recognized need that the bureau was con-
ceived. The questions had been raised,
What is the General Federation doing for
usG What bond is there between the
individual club and the General Fedora
ton? Why join the General Federation? p
1t was to answer these inquiries, to bridge
this gulf, to make what threatened to be a
series of individual clubs. or at the most
a series of state declarations that the bureau
was treated The thought which underlies
the. foundation OF, the General Federation,
From each according to her gifts, to each
accord ng to her need" was still in theory
the underlying theory. but 1t has remained
for the bureau to put. 1t into practical ex-
eoution.
The confusion OF names OF officers,
committee chairmen, and other workers of
the federation, left the woman of the small
and somewhat remote club still unable 70
know to whom she should apply for the
help which would have been given gladly.
1t was a fact that not one in a thousand
clubwomen could tell the names of the diff
ferent chairmen of committees. II il was
difficult to remember twenty names, 1t Is a
comparatively simple matter to remember
one. Thousands of women have testified to
this. Since the establishment of the bureau
less than two years ago more than ten
thousand letters nave been received from
clubwomen alone, while many others have
been received from businss men, editors,
lecturers, societies, associations, and many
prove beyond argument the wisdom of es-
tablishing the bureau. But the real test
has been its practical usefulness. The cor
respondence speaks also for this phase OF
the question, since It is obvious that unless
the bureau had met the needs OF the appli.
csnts no such numter Of women would Rave
sought it's help. Ten thousand letters mear
ten thousand needs, and through the cour,
tesy, of experts, teachers, professors, pub.
fishers, editors. as we'll as the individual AID
of the officers and committee members OF
the General Federation and many other
organizations, the bureau has been able
to give the needed assistance.
