WILL PLACE THE
JUNGLE ON STAGE
Miss McMuIIin Plans to Produce
Radical Play with Her
Own Company
FAVoRS A DRAMA OF REALISM
Shaw Ibsen and GaISWorthy to
Be Presented-May Use
Temple Theater

Miss Viola Barry, who has just
closed an engagement as leading Wo-
mas at Ye Liberty theater, Oakland,
arrived in Los Angeles yesterday and
began rehearsing at once for 1.-THE
Jungle 4-argaret Mayo's dramatiza-
ton of Upton Sinclairs novel, which
will be given its first production in
this city the week of October 81. The
play is under the management of
Ethelyndal McMullin, Los Angeles
girl, who has had several years stage
experience in good companies and now
is coming forward as manager. Miss
McMullin believes in the drama of
realm; she believes the public is
ready for the analytical play, and if
the theatrical trusts will not present
such plays-Well, other people aren't
afraid to try.
1t has been a long-cherished dream
of Miss McMullin's--ths of producing
radical plays. During the ten years
she has been on the stage she has been
looking forward to the time when she
could have her own company present.
ing the plays that portray things as
they are" After THE Jungle" she is
planning to give some of Shaws, Ib
sens and Galsworthy's works-provid-
ing she is given the encouragement she
expects from the public.
Miss McMullin has the coast rights
for THE Jungle" and will take the
play north after it is given here. John
Cort is interested in her venture and
has written asking for information
about the route she has mapped out.
offering her a booking over his circuit
if the initial production is a success.
HAS HAD EXPERIENCE
This will not be Miss McMullin's
first experience as a manager. For
several months this year she had the
Unique theater in san BernardinO.
where her own stock company gave
standard plays. She was assisted by
her sister, Gertrude Caldwell VS. is
her business manager in the new un-
dertaking.
1t was in the James Neill company
at the Burbank that Miss McMulliu
gained her first stage experience. Az
forwards she was with Nance ONeil in
repertoire. She was in the Henry w.
Savage production of 1.-The Devil' for
one season, playing the heiress, and
she also had an important part in "The
Resurrection"
The place where "The Jungle" will
be performed has not yet been decided
upon by Miss McMullin. She will
probably be obliged to give it in the
auditorium of Labor temple, as that
is the best equipped of the available
places in the city, excepting the Audi
torium, which she considers too large.
This question will be settled in few
days.

Master of Philosophy and Psychology
at Parsons College Was Guest
of shakesperian
Club
OF KING LEAR
SkiIful Speech on Character of Lear,
Greatest Of all the Famous
Dramatists'
Subjects.

AT the home of John H. Cole. with
Miss Ora Cole as sponsor for the
affair was held meeting of the
stttakespearian club of Keokuk, at
which Prof. Harry H. Gage, master OF
philosophy and psychology at Parsons
college of Fairfield, gave talk on
The Value and Meaning of Life as
Founded in Lear" last evening.
The meeting was opened by two
beautiful solos, sung by Mrs. Blood
and taken from Shakespeare works
and written in the original music of
that period, which were enjoyed to
the utmost by all present.
Professor Gage lead the apprecia-
tive audience through a very sklllful
analysis of the character of King Lear,
as relative to life in general. He
dwelt particularly on the old king as
he stands forlorn amiust the seething
rain, the binding lightning, and the
fury of the elements, making mis- APP
peal to the heavens, and whether this
appeal was the result of the vanity of
the old man or not The speaker
showed that the sisters had some right
on their side after ALL What woman
coulu stand a hundred registering men
carousing around her house all the
tie.
But if there were no noble emo
tons in the actions of Lear we could
not enjoy reading the drama over and
over as we do"
Then we come to the awakening
of Lear when he cannot believe that
he is himself or that Cornelia is really
his daughter This is his reawaken-
ing, his realization Of his vanity,
something which comes to every man.
He is completely willing to go to
prison with his faithful daughter
But to what an infinitude of sad
ness do we bring ourselves when we
witness the old man desolate and for
saken with the dead body of his daugh-
ter in his arms, having lost faith in
almost everything, he appeals to
heaven again The play is SO sad we
dislike to read it many times. but it is
wonderful display of character and
twe lose ourselves in thought as to
what Shakespeare really intended to
bring out
Professor Gage is man with a
iv- ,nderful choice of words and a deep
student of human nature. His talk to
the select gathering OF Keokuk
Shakespeare lovers was appreciated
by everyone present, as was evidenced
by the fact that when the 2pealer took
out his watch duriag his talk ore OF
the gentlemen present gently withdrew
lit from his hand. a move which met
with unanimous applause from the
audience.
AT the conclusion Of Professor
1 Cages talk Mrs. Blood sang anothe,
solo from Shakespeare, with the it
ference that it was set to modern hu
SIG and the members ali We're intro
duced to the speaker. After this re

Some Troubles of Des Moines and
Cedar Rapids With Their IL
brary Boards are unneo,
essary
OLD LAW NOT REPEALED
The Library Boards Remain With
their Old Number of Members,
and keokuk Number is
Unchanged.

1t has been discovered that the Keo-
knk board OF library trustees will not
be reduced from nine to three mem
bers, as was done in Des MONIES and
Cedar, Rapids, when the commission
plan went into effect TIE commission
ers will appoint three members every
two years, but the board and the terms
of office will remain as in the past
The Keokuk library is being operat-
ed under a lease given by the owning
corporation to the city in 1902, which
provides for board of nine members
to be appointed by the mayor in blocks
of three. In working out the relations
of this contract with the commission
plan law, a new construction of the
statute was arrived at.
The commission plan law says that
the city commissioners shall appoint
three library trustees soon after TAX
ing office themselves. Des Moiales and
Cedar Rapids have assumed that this
meant a library board of only three
members. But Attorney A. Holdings
worth, in studying the subject, ar
rived at the conclusion that the new
law changes only the method of APP
pointment and that the size of the Ii
brary boards is not changed in com
mission plan cities, after all Lawyers
John E. Craig and Rice H. Bell agreed
with this and City Attorney Smith
Icoincided with this legal committee of
the library board Hence Mayor Elder
has decided to appoint three members
of the library board this year to serve
with the six hold-over members. The
terms OF office of w ]. Fulton, Charles
j. Smith and Judge Rice H. Bell expire
L July l.
The construction of the law bv the
keokuk, lawyers is OF great import
ance to the whole state Des Moines
and Cedar Rapids have done so poorly
with only three members on their Ii
ibrary boards that the state library
commission has sent out circular let
ter recommending that the commits
sion plan cities change the number on
the board by ordinance. But under the
I keokuk construction of the law. this
will not be necessary. as the provision
for the old number of trustees has not
been repealed by the commission plan
statute.

The next subject, and one most i'm
portant for your consideration, Is the
disposition of the coal lands In the
United States and Alaska. At the be-
ginning of this administration there
were Withdrawn from entry for pur-
poses of classification 1887 900 acres.
Since that time there have been with
drawn by my order from entry for
classification 7s.977.745 acres, making
a total withdrawal of 96,S44,745 acres.
Meantime of the acres thus with
drawn 1,061 ,sS9 have been classified
and found not to contain coal and
have been restored to agricultural en-
try, and 4,726,0s1 acres have been
classified as coal lands; while 1898 ,239
acres remain withdrawn from entry
and await classification. In addition
$4,000 acres have been classified as
coal lands without prior withdrawal,
thus increasing the classified coal
lands to 10,429,37 acres.
Under the laws providing for the
disposal OF coal lands In the United
States, the minimum price at which
