"My Friend from India"

Company entertained it hugely with a
show that has delighted thousands in It's
time and which seems 10 have lost none
Of its old charm.
MY Friend from India" is one Of the
rapid-hre farce comedies Of an elder day
In theatricals Qimes and tastes change
rapidly IN this era) that demand a lot
from those who play IT, II has not been
so long ago that this comedy was fresh
on the boards but that many OF US can
remember the excellent cast, and the de-
! light OF the humor which, 70 the broad
effect OF It's action. adds lines that are
genuinely witty and smart. And yet. even
to those who remember the first perform
ances OF My Friend from India" there
was nothing in the performance last night
10 make them look back on the old DAYS
with regret For, although there was nat
urally bound 10 be at times some slight
hesit don in dialogue so rapid and
quirI; and quip so sharp these were az a
minimum last night. The humor or the
! piece Is still fresh: the flavor Of this
farce still appeals to the palates OF to-
day. and from the time Of the first
/ funny complication in the first act 10 the
ludicrous finish just at the fan Of the
hnal curtain the audience testified by
roars Of laughter how much the fooling
was enjoyed
Every member OF the Columbia COM
pany was deserving Of credit for last
nights bill. or course. the piece gives lit
/ tie opportunity 10 a leading woman as
clever as Miss Hall. but even in such a
part as Marian Hayste she was able 20
show 70 distinct advantage. Miss Phyllis
! Sherwood in the part OF lilly had part
that has won fame for those who have
played 1t before her. a part OF rare COM
edy, Of character comedy, too, and It was
surprising how Miss Sherwood literally
walked away with Il. She infused the
character with a true comedy spirit and
deserved all the encomiums she won
Miss Emene Melville was also striking
/ ~ good IN her comedy part. especially
in the COY love making scenes. Mss
! Huntingdon and Miss Ninan Melville
( played small parts most acceptably.
AS Shaver. the Friend from India" Mr..
! McAllister was really much better than
he has been for some weeks. There was
very much more OF the authors part in
his playing than there was Of Mr. McAi-
lister and as a result his performance
was good, clean. finished comedy. Mr
Butterfeld as ErastUs gave a very clever
impersonation. as did Mr.. Forester as
the son, but what little slipping Of the
lines there was in the performance was
due TO them. Mr.. Stanley James as the
Rev James Twcedle, Mr. Richie as Jen-
nings. and Mr. Hazleton as Fiunerty
gave good character impersonations. IT
short. the company entered. as a whole
quite into the spirit Of the play, and The
result is a performance that IS bound

FOR FARMERS BENEFIT.


Southern Maryland to receive its

STATE CARE OF INSANE.

One Of the measures that will
come up at the present session Of The
General Assembly will be the ques-
ton of taking care Of the insane
paupers by the State.
A law was enacted several years
ago providing for the State taking
care Of the INDECENT insane after 1909
This was, however, prolonged to
1911 at the last session Of the Leg
stature through the efforts Of some
of the political wiseacres, upon al
legged economical reasons.
The care of the insane by the State
is a question that should be taken up
at once by the Legislature and en-
acted into law. Such a law upon
the Statute would not only be wise
measure but will meet with the
hearty approval Of the people.
The almshouses and other places
where the insane are kept in some Of
the Counties are totally unfit for
such unfortunate persons. These
poor people need particular care and
attention. and il ia. we believe, the
duty of the State to provide that
they shall get it The Counties are
unable to provide better quarters
and such medical treatment for them,
and hence the deplorable condition
in many of the Counties of the State.
1t costs each County about four or
five thousand dollars TO take care Of
these poor unfortunate individuals.
The taking care Of them by the State
will relieve the tax payers locally Of
a heavy burden which they should
not bear. In fact the Counties are
really unable to take care of the in
sane properly, aud on the other hand,
the State is.
Justice demands that these people
should be made as happy and com
Portable as possible. A law en-
acted, therefore, to take effect at
once for this purpose by the Legisla-
ture will be hailed with delight By
the citizens of this State.
