which will be seen here tomorrow
night at the Grand began it's re-
markable career in Washington
city. On the morning after its pre-
miere, the Washington Post said
Henry Miller forced himself into
the first rank of American producing
managers two years ago when he
presented The Great Divide But
that play, big, strong, virile and ar
tiStic as it is, seems mediocre when
compared with his latest production,
The Servant in the House. which
began what must prove a remark
able career at the Belasco Theatre
last night. A more powerful play
has not been seen by the present
generation. 1t is written by Charles
Ram Kennedy, whose command of
pure English would gain for him
an enviable reputation were he lack
ing in all the other qualifications of
a dramatic author. 1t is play with
purpose; one that will teach a
lesson stronger than those heard
from the pulpits of modern church
es more damaging attack on the
hypocrisies of conventional religion
and conventional society than can
be found in a dozen plays by Henry
Arthur Jones, play in which quiet
ly spoken lines stir the emotions
more deeply than vivid pictures OF
action, and which start a train of
thought not easily abandoned by
even those who prefer not to think.
The Servant in the House is the
biggest play that has been introduc-
ed for many, many years. 1t is one
that will live in the literature of the
stage. And it is presented by one
of the strongest companies gathered
together by any manager during the
past ten years-a company known
as the Henry Miller Associate Play
ers."

Mr. Donelan was in the city
Thursday, and we are informed that
he asked for the franchise to be,
made out as desired at as early date
as possible, so that the acceptance
could be signed at once and plans
made for the commencement o.
work. He stated that he hoped ~
get work started by June 1st at
least, and that in all probability
the plant would be completed in
August, SO that our people may have
the delight of using gas for cooking
during the extreme hot weather and
fall. He says that the aim of the
company will be to give the very
best possible service, that probably
$4,000 will be spent in the plant
here, and that they ask for the
patronage of the people only on the
basis of good service and fair treat
ment. Certainly this is all we can
ask, and if they carry out their part.
we believe the people here will
patronize them literally.

this town while about $50 Jamaican
negroes were being taken aboard
the ship, to load the bananas. Bocas
del Toro is a fine little tropical city
of 5000 people. practically built
and owned by the United Fruit Co.
1t is surrounded by a sea wall, has
a modern sewerage system, the
streets are wide, and macadamized
with sea shells and corals. This is
the headquarters in that section OF
the United Fruit Company, the great
trust which controls the banana out
put of the world, and owns much
of the country in this vicinity. The
houses are all one story, low, with
wide porches, and the people, all
Panamanians, speak English, are
cultured and quite well educated,
happy and contented with their lot.
They are enjoying life, since the
Americans came in and rebuilt the
town, under the direction of the
Panamanian government. 1t is a
pleasing change from the native sec
tion of both Panama and Colon.

the entire institution there has been
general improvement and recon
struction. until the property is now
in first class condition.
However, no such institution can
become great, or can hope for larger
things in an educational way when
there must be constant struggle TO
pay running expenses. Instructors
who remain here must often do so at
a personal sacrifice, for better sal
aries may be secured elsewhere.
Equipment is lacking, and the teach
ing force as we'll as the students
are handicapped in many ways in
their effort to give and secure the
best there is in education.
Realizing all this, Hon. L. s.
Swenson. United States Minister to
Switzerland, graduate of Luther
College, recently called on James j.
Hill, the great st. Paul railway
magnate, and presented the matter
to aim, with the result that Mr.. Hill
promised to give $4,000 toward the
raising of permanent endowment
fund of $25O.000 for Luther Col
lege. Every effort will be made to
raise the additional 100000 and
thus secure the generous offer of Mr..
Hill. The Synod has appointed a
committee consisting of Hon. L. S.
Swenson, Prof. DR.. H. G. Stub and
Prof. c. X. Preus to raise funds, and
the matter will be in their charge.
This is the opportunity for the
friends of Luther to rally to her
support. to assist in raising this en-
dowment. and thus place the insti-
tuition where it may have a constant
source of revenue, instead of being
placed under the necessity of calling
on the various congregations for
assistance each year. as is the case
with all denominational schools hav-
ing no endowment. Other colleges
have raised like amounts and Luther
can do so, If everyone will boost.
