Great Play Reflects the Days That

Youth predominates in Strong

drama of college life which will be
seen in this city this afternoon and to-
night. Although "Strongheart" is Sc
rious in theme Mr.. De Mile has pro-
vided comedy in plenty; good, youth

of campus heroes and boy and girl
love affairs.
There is not an old person on the
stage. The scenes of "Strongheart'

youths and pretty girls. The charm

STRICKEN BLIND ON STAGE
Actor Loses His Sight, Bu Continues
GameIy in Play Until Curtain
Falls.

Toronto, Can.-Jules Kusell, an
actor appearing at the Majestic Music
hall, was stricken with total blindness
in the middle of his sketch. He fin
ished the act without. the audience or
the people on the stage being aware
of his condition.
Kusell and his wife, known as Els.
telle Wordette, were giving a comedy
sketch lasting about 20 minutes. In
it Kusell sings several songs. Half
way through 1t he was seen to reel
slightly and pass his hand across
his eyes. No one attached any signifi-
canoe to it, but he himself knew from
slight pain in his head and black
ness before him that he was blind.
A momentary lull in the song
brought back his presence of mind
With an effort he smiled on the house
and resumed the broken melody.
At the close a burst of applause
rewarded him for an effort the cost
of which only the actor himself knew.
Turning his sightless eyes toward his
wife he bowed, and through the sew
eral curtain calls laughingly thanked
the audience.
The instant the curtain fell for the
last time Kusell staggered toward the
wings and was half-carried to his
dressing-room by friends. Three local
doctors were called and during the
whole of the night worked over the af-
f1icted actor.
Lighted matches were held close to
the pupils, but there was no re-
Spouse.
There is little hope that Kusell
will ever see again. His act has
been cancelled from the weeks bill
Friends of Kusell who have known
him for years say hesnever had any
ailment which might have caused
blindness. and that his sight was al
ways good.
