New York Dramatic Letter
BY William S. Brewer.

NEW YORK, July 9.-Even actors

! ring the hot months and because of al
| this, several of the great plays have
suspended action until early in Au-

such a phenomenal success, and "The
Easiest Way"
Here and there, however, one finds
a drama still fighting the awful bat
tie against the mid summer heat and
winning out at that.
The visitor to the metropolis is very
much in evidence at Days theater.
The success of 1.-The Climax" has
spread broadcast throughout the
country, and one of the first places the
stranger makes for is Days theatef.
Those who have seen the play are
| unanimous in describing it as one of
the prettiest of the season. Only four
persons take part and all are excellent
, ly fitted for their world.
July and January would appear to

play has been transferred from the BIZ

Under the department from time
to time by the Roswell Daily Record,
MEN WHO HAVE MADE ROS-
WE'LL, THE GREA TER ROSWELL,
many of the most prominent men in
the up4building of the city have been
given recognition.
If there is person who more com
mands the respect and admiration of
his fellow45eings ii is the man who
has spent his energy and talents in
the education of the youth of the
land. Locally speaking this applies
most beautifully to Major Luigi Mar
tint Mancini. who is better known as
Count Martini. and who has been
connected with the New Mexico Mil
itary Institute here for eleven years;
since it was established. Count Mar
tint watched it, as il were, grow

and the sixth in rank of a Military

it is most sincerely regretted that
Major Luigi Martini-Mancini has sew
cred his connection with the school
as Professor of Languages, which he
speaks seven fuently.
BE s1deS being instructor of Ian
guages he has used his spare mo-
ments in doing all in his power for
the betterment of the Institute.
IT was a source of much pride and
qualification to Count Martini that

Besiies the eleven years spent at
