G. p. HuntIey in "I1Itty Grey"

The musical comedy. Kitty Grey"
with G. P Huntley as the leading figure
in the cast, and which is credited with a
long run IN London. is fair sample Of
the English musical show. There is
sufficient plot, enough pleasing music,
considerable comedy opportunity, a large
conc0urse Of pretty women. and wealth
Of scenic establishment.
The center Of interest lies entirely in
the personality of the leading comedian.
Mr.. Huntley. and II must be confessed
that his efforts constitute a very enjoy
able entertainment within themselves
The plot Of the play concerns a pOpu-
/ lar actress. Kitty Grey. who has a long
string Of admirers. including Sir John
Binheld lately married to an American
heiress: the Earl OF Dulston, an ire
pressible nObleman Of the silly ass va
riety. and Ernest III, King OF ulyria.

suggestion without the basis Of any
knowledge on the subject. Another name
mentioned Is that OF Gov, Hughes, in
whose support there was a story told
that when President Taft attended the
tercentennial of Lake Champlaln last
July he made some remarks indicative or
a belief that Gov. Hughes would make
an ideal member Of the United States
Supreme Court.
Some Of those who prOfessed belief
that Attorney General Wtckersham was
the logical successor 10 Justice Peck
ham, were saying that if Mr.. Wickersham
went on the Supreme Bench IL would give
Mr.. Taft the opportunity Of showing his
appreciation OF Solicitor General Bowers
by appointing Mr. Bowers Attorney Cen
eral.
other names Of men who are regarded
as likely to be considered for appoint
ment TO the Supreme Bench vacancy are
those OF ex-Judge HOLSTER. Of Cincin-
natl. and Frederick V. Judson. of st.
Louis
Mr.. Judson is a Democrat. Mr.. Hollis
ter was a classmate Of Mr.. Taft's. and
il is known that the President has a
very high opinion Of him.
In the last campaign the Republican
National Committee gave wide circula-
ton TO an article written by Mr. HOLSTER
and printed originally in a legal periodi-
cal, in which he told Of Mr.. Tafts career
as Judge An article of similar charac-
ter written by Mr. Judson was printed
in magazine in August, 1907.
