For years Greensboro pond, which
is one of the most beautiful sheets of
water in existence, has furnished
some OF the best trout fishing in the
state. II has been literally stocked

tied portion of the yearly increasing
colony OF cottagers has interested it.

There has also been strong local SEN
timent In favor of enforcing the pro-
tectiye laws.
BY far the worst features of the
running of the pond is the suspicion
that 1t has been brought about by the
malicious act of two or three cottag-
ers who have been prosecuted by the
authorities OF Greensboro for violat-
ing the Sunday laws and who are be-
lieved to have introduced the worth
less perch out of spite.
10 condemn such an act OF Vandal-
ism, now that 1t has accomplished its
miserable purpose, Is useless A con-
lotion under the prevailing statute
covering such offences would in no
wise repair the wrong that has been
done to the hundreds of people who
have annually visited Greensboro for
a try at the two sturdy game fish,
the forked and the square tailed trout,
that inhabited the clear, cool water.
One more opportunity for free and
open trout fishing has been destroyed
and the lapse OF time before the day
when It will be impossible to find any
sport of this nature outside of pri-
vate preserve has been shortened.

ton in the famous stock company
maintained in New York city by the
late Augustin Daily. His friends told
him he would be a better actor after
two or three seasons of the famous

acquire finish not to be had save
by continued association with the same

the hit of the opening night. much to
Daly's chagrin, for it was the tradition
of the house that first honors' should
always go to Ada Rehan, Mrs. Gilbert,
James Lewis and John Drew, the big
four" of the company.
The farce was succeeded in about two
months by a revival of "As You Like

actor the reputation, which has ever

THEATRICAL NEWS

TT is now four seasons since Francis
Wilson gave up comic opera for
a the more legitimate field of
straight comedy. His success has been
even greater than it was in the mu-
sical field, for Charles Frohman has
been most fortunate in his selection Of
plays for the popular star. Mr.. Will
sons offering this season is a. comedy
by Charles Marlowe which is called
"When Knights Were Bold" the play
being a satire upon the subject of an
cestry. In it Mr.. Wilson impersonates
young Englishman, Sir Guy De
Vere who in a dream is taken back
to the good old days." seven hundred
odd years before he was born.
Clarence Handysides portrays an
ancestor loving vicar in the comedy.
In one of the scenes he says, I'm the
course of my archaeological studies
have traced our family as far back
as certain Peter the Monk, who lived
and fourished in the twelfth century"
To which Mr.. Wilson in the character
of Sir Guy De We're retorts:
peter the Monk? My dear dean,
wouldn't say too much about your
family. What l mean is, that If your
ancestor was a monk-Well. a monk
monk ought not to have a family,
now had he? Mind, I'm not blaming
him."
The setting of the first act is a
beautiful tapestried- hung room in an
old English castle. The prevailing
tones are dull reds. On one side is
the enormous side place with its stand
of arms and about the room is the
armor of the hero's ancestors The
furniture is antique and altogether the
setting is delightfully."- artistic.
A feature of the production which
Mr.. Wilson brings to the Mason next
week is the singing of twelfth CEN
tury welcome song by the large chorus
he carries The comedy has proved
to be the greatest success the popular
comedian has had in years.
