"MARY'S LAM B."

In "Mary's Lamb" one of the best
theatrical offerings of the year was
yiven at the Koylor Grand last night.
1t least, as far as musical comedy
was concerned The lines are funny,
the situations clever. and the plot,
based on an old French farce was
sparkling all the way through. The
crowd enjoyed it and it may be said
to have been one of the most pleasing
of the season.
Richard Garlic? He was good. Very
good. Better perhaps than usual, for
it was evident that he had been stock
ing upon joy just to humor bad cold.
He kept the members of his own
company laughing so they could hard
ly go through their lines. That the
subrette called his a fool with an I'M
mentionable prefix is not to be won
dered at for her composure was gone,
despite her apparent best efforts to
gather it in.
The chorus is good and the song hits
belle of the bathers'' was the most
musical of the tunes, while MY modest
little modeP' was the most encored of
all
The cast was nothing extraordinary,
either good or poor. They balanced
up well, and left the heft of the burden
to Richard earle, who bore it we'll
despite the fact that he was already
arryine fairly good load. But what
does anyone care for that? The show
was worth the money, and everyone
went home haDDy

international prize court and the court
of arbitral Justice We urged our gov
eminent to take action to establish
this great world court, believing that
in this way it is now possible to rem
der a most signal and honorable SER
vice to mankind. Similar conferences
in every state of the union We're urged,
to serve as organizers and representa-
tives of public opinion. The nucleus
of a permanent organization was pro-
vided for by the appointment of an
executive committee of which senator,
now secretary of state, Philander C.
Knox, is the head. This executive
committee has had a year of active
organization work. A subcommittee
on educational work, acting in coop
Grafton with the school peace league
has commenced very successfully the
effort to interest the people, particu-
larly the young, through literature and
other religious associations, teachers
institutes and university extension.
Arrangements have been made for
quite general observance of May Is,
1909 as peace day, and a suggested
program has been distributed among
the schools.
I'm March Is hearing arranged by
the committee on correspondence was
given at Washington by the secretary
of state and the proposition was urged
with able argument that our govern
ment should take steps to induce at
least two other powers to act with the
United States in appointing judges and
settling up the permanent court of ar
bitral justice.
"Pennsylvanians hope for the honor
that the permanent world tribunal with
impartial judges declaring and admins
tering a system of fixed international
law, judicially and not as diplomats,
will be the browning glory of the Taft

lister, who is the permanent chairman
of the Pennsylvania Peace and Arbi-
tratiOn conference.
while much has been planned and
considerable accomplished, it is prob
able that more might be done with
state society.
1.-THE permanent committee which

1.-THE Mills of the Gods"

An event of unusual Importance IN
this city is the visit of the noted
drama, 1.-THE Mills of the Gods" which
comes to the Keylor Grand theatre
Friday evening, May Z.
The play deals with some of the
vital conditions of society and it was
written by George Broadhurst' author
of THE Man of the Hour" etc. The
company which numbers 35 people, is
under the direction of Ernest Shutter,
who last season managed Miss Mary
Shaw in her company in Bernard
Shaw and Henrik Ibsen dramas. Spec
ial baggage cars are used to trans
port the scenery and properties and
it is safe to say that this booking will
prove the foremost dramtic event OF
the season.
