The Canadian Athletic association

indian runner who was suspended
by both the Canadian association and
the Amateur Athletic union on charges

FOR this action is that the Canadians

card az the meet in London IL IL not
likely, however. that the Amateur Ath-
letic union VIII remove the suspension

under SOUTHERN SKIES"
AT AUDITORIUM TONIGHT

One Of the unusual features OF Lottie
Blair Parkers play Of Southern life is
that the women of the cast outnumber
the men. AS rule the reverse is the
case in dramatic offerings The presence
of so many women upon the scene is one
of the attractions Of the play especially
as many of them are young and pretty.
The birthday party Of the youthful heroine,
and the Hallowe en- festivities. which in
clude the carrying out of some amusing
Hallowee EN- tricks and a Jack-o-lantern
dance, give fine scope for showing the
feminine members of the company to
advantage One Of the funniest characters
In the play is "Anner Lizer. who deserves
rank side by side with the immortal
"Topsy.' Aunt Doshy too, is host of
fun in herself; typical southern 'auntie'
one of the faithful slaves who clune to
the family she loved though free to leave
them If she wished to do so. The south
furnished many instances Of this devotion
upon the part of the older negroes. The
part of the heroine, Lelie Croften, young
southern belle, is difficult one to enact,
portraying as II does all the emotions
from gay and loving light heartedness to
most intense misery and grief. .Under
Southern Skies" was written by woman
and 1t gives women greater opportunity
for acting than three or four ordinary
dramas. Managers Butler & Byrd have
secured this very successful play and il
win be seen at the Auditorium tonight.
