HOUSES
AT THE VALENCIA
Eddie Foy in "Mr. Hamlet of
Broadway" Crowds the
Big Theater

lie is the same Eddie Foy as of old,
only better. funnier and more effective
through the maturity of his whimsical
art. He has surrounded himself with
lively and beautiful chorus, every
member of which is a capable singer
and graceful dancer. 'Mr. Hamlet of
Broadway will probably play to ca
pacity business for the rest of the en-
gagement at the Valencia, for it is a
whirlwind entertainment and elabo-
rately produced by a New York COM
pany.
Fov's vehicle is not. as many have
supposed a burlesque on Hamlet, but
a musical extravaganza in one OF the
acts of which Foy appears as the luSu-
brious Dane But the doleful charac-
ter in his hands becomes person OF
nnirth and hilarity, and though the lines
of the book are not the wittiest in the
world the situations which have been
evolved give Foy ample opportunity
for the display of those talents at fun
making which have won him fame
wherever English is spoken.
The last week of Eddie Foy and the
big Shubert company in mir. Hamlet
of Broadway, will commence at the
Valencia theater this Sunday evening.
with the only matinee Saturday. and
from present indications standing room
will be at a premium during the rest
of the engagement.

A proposition has been made to Fer
nanda Eliscu, whose art in The Third
Degree" created a great and favorable
impression here, to return next summer
in series of Yiddish plays, such as
she appeared in during the early years
of her American stage career. The de-
cision of Bertha Kalish to return to the
Yiddish drama has given that branch
of drAmatics a tremendous impulse in
New York, and Miss Eliscu, who sue
eeeded Bertha Ka1ish in New York Yid-
dish performances. will likely accept
the offer for season, at any rate.

Idaho in support Of our University,
but want YOU to feel thai. we are
Interested in you more than cents
worth" That would seem to be not
a very heavy interest in a state with
the natural wealth possessed by Ida
no.
While the University is supported
to train Idaho's own children 1t Is
rather pleasing fact to note that
the quality OF training to be obtained
here has attracted students from
distance. Mining engineers come
from eastern universities to finish
their work in Idaho because Of the
excellent equipment and the nearby
mines which the Idaho students with
their instructors to learn the practic-
al local processes and methods. In
the University mill and assay Iabora-
tories the students are handling con-
stantly the ores with which they will
work when they take up their pro-
fession. The interest in this work
was very apparent the day the mill
building OF the university was open
for visitors. and was crowded by stu
dents and townpeople all the after
noon, desiring to see the processes by
which metals are separated from
their ores. All the machinery from
the heavy stampmill to that used for
the minute chemical tests, was in OPP
GRAFTON. 1t may be OF interest to
know that Idaho has more actual
mining machinery in her laboratories
than the University Of California has
in her new immense 5000. 900 Hearst
mining building.
The dairying department offers
courses not found elsewhere in the
section and draws students from
other states. Other reasons also at
tract students, so that Is states and
foreign countries are represented by
students. Idaho's reputation has
reached beyond the seas, and letters
of inquiry come concerning her work.
Recently a letter from Austria re-
qnested information about the equip
ment of the civil engineering depart
ment.
Following the lead of the great un-
iversities, Idaho reaches out for oc-
casional assistance from other lntsi-
tutions, and brings professors from
abroad to lecture to the students.
Recently, DR.. Ross, the famous So
biologist, was at the university and
the students heard him twice. The
department OF sociology has had sew
eral other speakers during the year
from outside institutions, allowing
the students to get a new point OF
view and wider acquaintance with
the teachers in the line which they
are studying. There are a number
of student clubs that hold periodic
meetings, often with illustrated lee
lures, or special topics for study,
and thus add both TO the interest and
value OF their studies. For example
DR.. Sage recently lectured on the
buried city Of Pompeii. showing at
the same time so or so splendid ster-
eoptican views of the ruins.
Another line OF work in which Ida
no is breaking new ground this year
is in giving the students series OF

robert Mather, president of the Rock

however, Is a rumor that the relations
between the Moores and Mr.. Mather

his time in New York. Mr.. Mather is
also general counsel for the Rock Is

be given to Richard A. jackson, now

VociferOus welcome

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 23.-When
John Mitchell, the former president of
the Miners, appeared upon the stage
of Tomlinson hall at the Mine Work
ers' convention, the thirteen hundred
delegates went wild with enthusiasm
There was storm of cheers and many
of the delegates wept from intense
emotions. Seldom has such a scene
been witnessed in a convention. Mr.
Mitchell, who was deeply moved, came
forward to the edge of the platform
and said:
Il feel keenly sensitive to the recep-
ton you have given me this day. 1t
would seem that at least in miners
convention a former leader of laboring
people loses none of his lustre because
he is sentenced to JAIL
He was interrupted by another
thunderous burst of applause.
When the tumult had subsidized Mr.
Mitchell began a long speech dealing
with the condition of the organization
but principally with the sentence to
Jail imposed upon him, Samuel Com
pers and Frank Morrison by Judge
Wright of the District of Columbia
and his conception of its significance
