"A KINGS Rival"
La Z
program.

Unusually great interest is manifest,
especially in social circles, in the ap-
engagement at the Gennett
theater of the popular actor, Mr.. John
Griffith, who on next Saturday even
ing will present his new romantic
comedy, "A Kings Rival" This in
terest is occasioned, not only by the
re markably high esteem in which Mr..
Griffith is locally held, but from the
fact that it will offer the first oppor-
tunity to witness his acting of COM
edy character.
"A Kings Rival" is new version
of the famous drama, Don Caesar de
Bazan,' which was a great success
some years ago, and is said to be in
finitely superior to the original. AS
played by Mr.. Griffith, comedy pre-
dominates in the piece, and his imper-
sonation of the jovial, care-free Span
ish nobleman. Don Caesar, is said to
be a brilliant achievement. Miss
Edyth Totten plays Mariana, the
beautiful Gypsy street dancer. for
whose love the intrepid Don Caesar
and the king Of Spain are rivals. and
her portrayal is said to be thoroughly
convincing. The supporting company
is the strongest Mr.. Griffith has ever
had, it is said by critics reviewing the
performance, while the scenic equip
ment is complete and elaborate.

Submit Text Book Law.

COMMITTEE ALSO OPPOSES FREE
TEXT BOOKS, ALLEGING THAT
CHANCE FOR DISHONESTY IS
AFFORDED.

Although the educators oft he state
are against the use of uniform text
books in the schools. also against the
use of free text books. they feel that
an organized effort will be made to
pass just such law. embodying both
features And to be prepared on the
matter the legislative committee ap-
pointed at the holiday session of the
Indiana Teachers association Will
draw up a bill satisfactory to the edu-
Gators. The upper house of the state
legislature will probably pass this
measure. from informations received.
and the lower house will also probably
favor it.
Prof. C. w. Knouff. principal OF the
Richmond high school. is the only
high school man on the committee and
has charge of framing up bill en-
bodying points which the educators of
the state want. A rough draft OF the
bill has been prepared by him and is
as follows:
knouffs School Bill.
1. There should be a certified list OF
books such as is secured by the Ohio
law whihc guarantees the sale OF
books to pupils at price not to ex'
coed IS per cent of the advertised list
price.
9. For the reason that many homes
contain classics. and for the addition
different points of view it is advisable
that books known as classics, including
English, German, French, Spanish and
Latin and Greek. sOuld be omitted
from the list to be regularly adopted
but should be included in the certified
! list.

east Lynne"

East Lynne" is one of those sue
cesses which has stood the test of fifty
years OF continuous presentation, but
the public has never lost interest in it
and there has been more patrons of
this great emotional drama the last
two or three yeas than ever before.
This is attributed to the fact that the
play has been revised and made into
new East Lynne" by Mr.. Joseph
King. who is one of the most compe-
tent stage directors of New York. and
who was responsible for the six
months run of Ninety and Nine" at
the Academy of Music in New York.

Ridiculous.

As a rule. the educated native Of
West Africa, like his Indian brother,
loves high flown language. A clerk
some time ago sent a report complain
ing that the carbines Of the police at
his station often mis6red. This Is how
he put 1t: 'It is ridiculous to report
that the firearms Of the police when
pointed at the armament refuse to give
explosive souE,d.''

VENGEANCE REACHES
ACROSS CONTINENT
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, April 22,--The
long arm of New York's criminal
gangs reached across the continent
and snuffed out the life of William
O'Brien, as he stood in front of a
Bowery saloon. because the gang
supposed O'Brien was the cause of
the arrest in Pasadena, Cal, of
"Bennie" Abelson. known by the
police as "Sheeny Ben" on a
charge of murder.
Policeman Mealone, standing in
front of a Bowery cafe in which
O'Brien was drinking, was drawn
across the street by a sham brawl.
Then one of the gang walked rap
idly up to O'Brien and shot him
through the heart.
The murderer escaped through
an alley.

FASHION BANS
THE HAIR RAT

According to the latest dictates
of fashion, extreme severity of line
is to succeed the fluffiness and
curliness which have long prevail
ed in coiffures.
Indeed, it is said that the ultra
fashionable have availed them
selves of the Lenten retirement, to
train their hair for the exigencies
of this new style.
Curling irons and wavers of all
kinds have been abolished, and the
hair has been encouraged to attain
an evenness of length, smooth
ness of texture, and brilliancy of
color that will allow it to be worn
in the newest mode" says a fash
ion magazine which is supposed to
know.
1t then proceeds to describe the
incoming method of hair dressing
as follows:
"The hair is draped and banded
about the head in close, fiat,
smooth, encircling lines, very low
on top, and laid over a cage about
the back, simply to support its
length without coiling, a band of
ribbon and small pins combining the
ends where they are tucked in
something of French roll.
The result Is said to be that of a
smooth casque which is severe and
precise to a degree, but which con-
fers an aspect of great distinction.
