secured a position with the Consolidated
Street Railway Company, where he
worked during the summer months, and
in the fall returned to Valparaiso College,
and took up the study of law, graduating
in 1904 at the head of his class as may
be seen by the following:
NORTHERN INDIANA LAW School,
Mark l.. DeMotte, Dean
VALPARAISO, INDIANA, Aug, b. 1905.
This certies that Frank A. Perdew was a
student of law at our Northern Indiana Law
School during the full course of instruction.
and was graduated by us June Is, 1904. Such
was his diligence and competency that he
maintained the highest standing attained
by any student in his class of seventv.tive,
and gained for himself the confidence and
respect of his teachers and fellow students.
His department during all of the two
years he was a member of our school was
unexCeptionable, and his integrity unques-
toned. He is commended as well read IN
the law and competent to maintain his
standing at the Bar.
CSigned) MARK L. Denote
Dean Northern Indiana Law School.
When he left the college, the president,
II. b. Brown. gave Mr.. Perdew an even
stronger letter than the above, saying
that he was thorough in whatever he
undertakes and will ill any position to
which he may be called with honor
Having concluded his law studies, Mr..
Perdew found himself without sufficient
money to pay his fare home SO he went
to work i'll the Indiana harvest fields
and earned it by the sweat of his brow.
He took the Maryland State Bar exam
ination in 1905, was admitted to the
Court of Appeals the same year, and
located in Cumberland for the practice
of his profession. He made success of
the law from the very start, and no
member of the Allegauy county bar has
the respect of the members of the pro-
fession more than Mr.. Peldew He is a
good lawyer, and, what is more, is as
straight as the proverbial string.
n gentleman who knows him we'll
said not later than yesterday that he
would Just as leave have Mr.. Perdew' S
word that he would do anything as the
best bond that he could furnish, so great
is his faith IN the man.
1t is no eXaggeration to say that Mr..
Perdew is one of the best men that could
have been named for the position, and
the House of Delegates. This fact
should not be overlooked
In conclusion 1t might be stated that
Mr.. Perdew will stand the searchlight
in every particular. He is good law
yer, he is honest and upright, and, what
| is more, he has made his own way in
| the world.
If the voters are looking for a high
| grade man to vote for they have him in

duoe "the guaranteed success" Instead,
observing life thoughtfully, whether for
comic or serious treatment ultimately,
they feel the impulse to individual ex-
preston in regard to it-in prose or
verse, as the case may be.
That the general public is tired of its
old food, failure after failure shows.
This appears, too, in the insistent de-
mand for actors, managers and play
placers for fresh material, where ten
years ago they would rarely consider
anything except foreign goods or the
york of men already famous. The the
ater turns today not only to the writer's
trained outside the colleges, but 20
college and university bred men, it is
hospitable even to the undergraduate
writer's. If this art of such enormous
potential force, socially and education
ally, is at last looking for aid to our
colleges and universities, is not this eX-
actly as ii should be? A university or
college existing apart from the life of
the people, especially it's artistic life, is
an anomaly i'm a country like ours.
Only i'm a comprehension of the univer-
sity and the college by the masses,
which, in turn, rests on a sympathetic
understanding by college and univer-
sity of the needs and cravings of those
masses, can our endowed institutions
safely rest.

FELIX HANEY TO STAR
IN "MAN OF TAM MANY

"The Man from Tammany" is com
ing He is Felix Haney, the genial
Irishman who played the part of Alder
man Phelan in "The Man of the Hour,"
which was at the Mason opera house
recently, and who next year will bios
som forth as a star,
"The Man from Tammany' will be
the vehicle. and it is the work of Will
liam Clifford. Haney will be starred
by William A. Brady, who regards
1.-THE Man from Tammany" as ideally
suited to the man whose handling of
the part of Alderman Phelan has been
the hit of "The Man of the Hour
"The Man from Tammany" deals
with politics, especially the woman
suffrage phase. 1t gives Haney the
opportunity of playing another part
of a rollicking Irshman.
During the coming summer Haney
goes into vaudeville with his sketch,
"The Funny Rube." He was the origi-
nal Hi Holer in "'Way Down East"
and appeared in that play for num-
Der of seasons. For two seasons after
the opening of the New York Hippo
drome under the management of
Thompson & Dundy he was the princi-
pal comedian there. He has many
friends in Los Angeles.

OBERAMMERGAU PASSION
PLAY PLANS FOR 1910

Great preparations are being made
in the little, mountain-hidden village
Of Ober-ammergau, Bavaria, for the
production of the Passion play begin
ming in May and continuing until the
middle of September next year.
Many improvements have already
been made. Three of the streets lead
ing to the great auditorium have bl n
widened, as has also the plaza in front
of the ticket office. A large photog-
rapher's studio has been erected next
the dressing room and as protection
against fire a station has been estab-
lshed in which twenty-one- men are
to be detailed. The representations
are always given during daylight,
without the use of artificial light max
ing the possibility of fire a most re-
mote contingency. To care for visitors
who may become ILL., from any cause,
a temporary hospital has been estab1
lshed under direction of the village
doctor with attendants and nurses.
Seamstresses have been engaged in
making the multi-colored costumes
for the past six months. These alone
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The principal roles, together with
their impersonators, as furnished the
North German Lloyd offices in New
York, the official representatives of
the Passion play committee of Ober
ammergau, are: Prologue, Anton
Lechner, choir leader, Jacob Rutz,
who acted in the same capacity in
1900 Christ, Anton Lang, who acted
this role in 1900; John, Albrecht Bril-
ing; Peter, Andreas Lang; Judas, Jo-
ham Twink, third time; PLATE, Sc
bastian Bauer, second time and Mary

ADE WAS ORIGINAL
OF MAN FROM HOME"

On the eve of it's local production at
the Auditorium this week the secret of
"The Man from Home" the new Booth
Tarkington- Harry Leon Wilson play,
has become known. The play was writ
ten in aspirit of revenge. 1t is deep
laid plot of the Machiavellan type.
Here is the secret There is a char
acter in "The Man from Home"-the
principal character, that of Daniel
Voorhees, Pike-and this character is
none other than George Ade, seized IN
all the innocence of his simple life, ana
forced bodily, mannerisms and all, upon
the stage, for the personal qualification
of Booth Harrington. 1t is Ade that
has been made the chief character of
the play 1t is Ade whom we come to
know, through the Harrington inter-
| view on landing, as "the plain, untraV-
! eled citizen one might meet on al ac-
Commodation train between kokomo
and LoganspOrt.'
1t was by accident the other day that
the truth became known. In an inter-
view Harrington remarked that George
Ade years ago had put him in a play,
that George Ade even had gone so far
as to stamp the character by the namo
of Edwin Booth Harrington, and that
the character portrayed was that of
broken-down Thespian, with naught
but shattered ambition 10 look Ddck
upon. Mr.. Harrington has never said
that he nourished a dream of revenge.
1t is nevertheless a fact that the orig
inal of Daniel Voorhees, Pike is George
Ade, that Booth Harrington for years
has been studying all the ins and outs,
curves and crosses of AIDES character,
with a view of their use. Harrington
has even gone so far as to have his
character make up like AIDE, and has
taken advantage of certain physical
prominences in the AIDE physiognomy,
and planted them upon his alleged law
yer from Kokomo.
Mr. Harrington, however, is coy. In
a recent interview he thus coquettes
with the situation
Il do not admit that I have any
quarrel with George AIDE. ! would not
Intimate for the world that l had
George AIDE i'm my mind when l created
Daniel voorhees, Pike, but [ do not
mind saying that l did have in mind q
certain humorist; that this humorist
lives in Indiana; that this humorist
has written fables; that this humorist
further has written plays, and that he
lives when at home at a place known
as Hazelden farm, and that Hazelden
farm may be easily identified by those
passing it from the enormous size of its
windmills which, perhaps, are used
for turning out either plays or fables.
Who can say as to that? Further than
this l will not CO."
1t is a discretion and a diplomacy
worthy of Cameo Kirby himself.

THE AcroRLEss THEATER

1t is estimated that there are at the
present time, in America. in successful
operation, seven thousand theaters
more or less, in which innumerable
plays and near-plays are produced
daily without the actual presence of
a single actor. The age which has
given us horseless carriages, smokeless
powder and noiseless guns has, i'm 9TH
er words, also developed the actorless
theater The investment in this form
of amusement already reaches the sum
of $50, 600, and the audiences that are
attracted to it are composed of four
million men. women and children, on
an average, every day of the year.
We are speaking, of course, of the
moving picture theater, of which there
are 300 in New York city. an equal
number in Chicago, 2O5 in St Louis
and 1856 in delphia.-Current Lit

"New Workers do not admit it," says
Mr.. Fawcett, but they are provincial.
Take a recent example from dramatic
history in the case of Mrs. Fiske in
salvation Nell In every city except
New York the play had a successful
run, but it was a failure in Manhat~
tan. I believe the reason of this was
that the scenes were laid there. Chi
