LONDON, April 3.-In the lab
oratory of the imperial cancer re-
search fund, the observation OF
cancer cases, at all stages and va
rieties of the disease, is constant
ly proceeding. For this purpose
10000 mice are used. They have
all been inoculated with cancer.
The normal life of a mouse is
about Is months rless-roughly
about the 50th part of that of q
normal man. A week of cancer In
a mouse is therefore, equal to q
year of cancer in a mana fact
which facilitates observation. The
mice are specially bred for the
purpose, and cost about rs cents
a dozen. A mouse lives for two
or three months after being in,
fected with cancer. 81
1t has been definitely proved In
the laboratories that cancer is moi
infectious. For incubation pur.
poses the affected tissue must be
actually transplanted, and ever
then it cannot be transferred ID
an animal of different species.

CLASSMATES" COMING SOON
AT THE STAR.

"The Tanning of the Shrew," re-
membered by all students and
readers of Shakespearean plays as
one of the most delightful and en-
PERTAINING of any comedy the great
poet ever wrote, will be presented
in its entirety at the Star theater
next week by the McRae players.
The story tells of the tanning of
Katherine Manolia, a bewitching
maiden who persistently refuses
to be wooed.
She is given up by her friends
and relatives, and finally her
father offers a huge dOwry to the
man who will marry her and tame
her. A young man, Petruchio,
learns of the dowry, and sets out
to win the maiden. He marries
her, and by treating her as a
mental and a slave finally breaks
her spirit so that she becomes the
most submissive of young women.
The part of Petrucio will be
taken by Henry McRae, and Kath-
crime will be played by Miss o.
valid. There is great scope for
character work in the Tanning of
the Shrew" production, and the
curious climaxes require great
stud, and patient work.

1.-THE RIGHT OF WAY"

Eugene w. Presbrey's dramati-
cation of Sir Gilbert Parker's nov
ell, 1.-THE Right of Way" will open
at the Tacoma theater tomorrow
night for two performances. The
play is taken directly from the
novel, and depicts the same STIR
ring instances and almost wonder
full intellect studies that are so
dramatically brought out in the
story.
Guy Standing. as Charley Steele,
the soothing, cynical atheist, who
drops from the level of an honor
ed member of the bar to the posi-
tion of fisherman through the
sudden loss of his identity,
achieves an honor that few dra-
matte stars have succeeded to.
Theodore Roberts, the co-star of
the production, has the part of
Joe Portugais, a murderer, and
fugitive from justice. His faith
fulness to Steele, who saved his
life by an urgent appeal in the
criminal courts, is SO steadfast as
to bring tears to the eyes of the
most stubborn auditor.
The remainder of the cast has
been chosen with the usual
Klaw & Erlanger precision, and is
promised to be of the best mate
rial for supporting the two prin-
cipals.

"Girls' Is Delightful Play

Clyde Fitch's most successful
comedy, Girls" made its debut
at the Tacoma theater last night
and managed to captivate practi-
oally everp person in the house.
The play is a distinct treat, and
abounds in humor of a new and
strikingly original vein. 1t tells
the story of three naughty bach
elor maids living in a flat.
The maids become so accustom-
ed to the presence of men that
they believe they are real man.
haters. Nevertheless, at the very
first opportunity they all fall
hells-over-head in love.
Miss Bessie Toner, Miss Ethel
Grey Terry and Suzette Jackson.
the three maids, should be praised
for their unconsciously clever act
ing. The remainder of the cast is
well chosen.
