Seventh Street.


To the Editor Of the University Missourian: 3"
Seventh street in Columbia shows a
sad lack of attention. On both sides
of Broadway the street is filled with
refuse, broken down vehicles, boxes
and other things, OF which the street
should be clear. The sidewalks are
not well kept, what there are CT them,
and for several blocks there is no side
walk at all Half q block from the
post office on South Seventh street
there is no sidewalk On either side of
the street and the street is full of
trash. The street should be cleaned
and taken care of and improvements
should be made. G.

AT Kansas University the students
buy student activity ticket the first
OF each year. This ticket costs them
three dollars and admits to contests
and events which paid for separately
would cost them sixteen dollars. The
ticket is good for five football games,
ten basket ball games, ten baseball
games. four field meets, two orches-
ira concerts, two glee club concerts.
three debates and two band concerts.
This plan is used in many universities
and has been found a success. 1t
places student activities on firm ba-
sis-insures how much money thev
will have to work on and makes the
cost OF management cheaper. The
plan has been talked of for Missouri.

CHARMING WIDOW
"A Woman's Way" Grace
Georges Comedy, Tells Pi=
quaint Tale of MatrimOny

"A Woman's Way" is the title OF
the new play in which Grace George
VIII be seen tomorrow night at the
Columbia theater, beginning an en-
gagement of two weeks, with matinees
wednesdays and Saturdays. The play
has been an emphatic success in New
York and throughout the east, and
when presented here will be handled
by competent New York cast of play
ers in support of the star, Miss George.
The story of the plot in brief is this:
Howard Stanton and his wife, Ma
rion. are swealthy New York society
FOLK. He is devoted to sports; she to
cotillons. Their few years of married
life have not been happy. When the
play opens Howard ina gines he is in
love with Mrs. Bfakemore, a fascinat-
ing southern widow. There has been
an automobile accident. in which How
ard and the widow are slightly in
Jured. Friends get them away from
the scene OF the disaster, leaving the
wrecked motor car in the roadside. The
machine is identified as the property
OF Howard Stanton, and rumors of the
aHalr get into the newspapers, Great
ing a big scandal. Marion's parents
tell her to come home, and society
looks forward to a divorce. But Ma
rion has other ideas. ''It is time for
good women to wake up" she declares.
we must fight to get our husbands.
why shouldn't we fight to keep them?''
Then she surprises everybody by in
vltinS Mrs. Blakemore to a family din
ner Marion proves herself a wise as
well as winsome woman. If her hus-
bands affections have waned because
OF her lack of sympathy he may be
brought to a realization of the proprie-
ties by subjecting him to a shock of
contrast, in which the wife, of course,
proposes to loom up best and biggest.
The dlnner party is full of surprises.
Mrs. Blakemore is found to have had
a violent love affair with Bob Living
ston, Marion's somewhat callow brother
who is just married. Mrs Blakemore
passed from Bob to Edward Morris,
Howard's brother in law, who adored
her for time. And earlier than that
she has been shrine for the devotion
of Oliver Whitney, an old sweetheart
of Marion's, now loyal friend, and
altogether a very well poised and i'm
perturbable man of the world. In the
most natural manner, under the skill
full guidance Of Marion, these startling
facts reveal themselves one by one.
Howard is amazed, disgusted and
chagrined. He realizes long before the
dinner guests have gone that it is his
wife he loves, and that his regard for
Mrs. Blakemore was of the most
ephemeral sort and has been complete
ly dissipated Mrs. Blakemore herself
sees defeat before her, and, after Ma
rion has saved her from newspaper
publicity as the guest of Stanton on
the automobile ride, she gracefully
withdraws.
The large and competent cast ap-
pearing in support of Miss George in
cludes the well known players: C. Au-
brey Smith, Henry Miller Jr, Jack
Standing, Frederick Esmelton, Charles
wellesley, Elwood Cromwell, Charles
Stanley, Carolyn Kenyon, Ruth Benson,
Louise Rial, Lulu Konari and Jewel

FANS GET inning
At THE ORPHEUM
Correct Baseball Comedy Will
Be Seen in Big Vaudeville
House

Baseball fans will undoubtedly be on
the bleachers at the Orpheum this aft
ernoon to root" for swat Milligan,
which is the principal offering on this
weeks new list of attractions. The
skit appeals not only to baseball en-
thusiasts. but to all lovers of quick
comedy and cleverly devised situations.
Prefacing the sketch is series or
moving pictures depicting a baseball
game flashed to the accompaniment OF
cheering and horn footing. At the con-
clusion of the picture projections,
high board fence is displayed, on the
top of which are sitting a messenger
boy. blase Englishman and gum
chewing girl of diminutive stature.
The messenger boy (Johnny Gorman)
and the girl (Vienna Bolton) provide
most of the laughs, but the ludicrously
vacuous comments of the BritiSher
(Charles Kennedy on the national
sport and the appearance of the bat
ter-who is the hugest man outside of
a circus-add much hilarity.
The Avon comedy four, quartet of
excellent singers; in a farcical offering,
"The School Teacher" are expected to
be one of the big, substantial hits of
the new program.
The three Klos sisters, recently
brought from Europe by the Orpheum
management. are described as exceed
ingly pretty and shapely girls who,
with the simplest contrivances, per-
form the most daring of aerial stunts.
John McC1osky, a young American
tenor who is gifted with a beautiful
natural voice will be heard for the
first time in this city. He has won
high praise in New York, and Oscar
Hammerstein offered him a place in
the Manhattan grand opera house,
position which McClosky could not ac-
cept on account of previous contract
entered into with Martin Beck of the
Orpheum.
This week will be the last in which
to see Anna Isaughlin. the "Toyland
prima donna; the Juggling Normans
Marshall Montgomery. and Elita
Proctor Otis, in Mrs. Burners Bum.
A new series of motion pictures will
terminate the program.

1.-THE Thief" IS
ECONOMICAL PLAY
Bernstein's Big Drama Goes
Straight to the Hearts
of Its Hearers

The interesting engagement of THE
ater after the performance next Sun
day night, May 8. Bernsteins great
play has shown its power and bigness
by the fact that 1t is a more enjoyable
presentation the second or third hear
ing that it was at it's first, the reason
being that it is fundamentally big
and powerful; that it's lines sparkle
with epigrammatic utteranees and
gieam with truth. Its appeal is gen.
eral to all classes because its feunda
tton is securely set in human expe-
rience and made stable and sound by
emotional realities.
The Thief" belongs to that class of
theatrical presentations which pro-
vide the greatest amount of mental
recreation and emotional excitement
with the least expenditure of time and
stage accessories. The time was
cheated If the stage was not crowded
with characters and complicated by
counter plots and intrigues within in
trigues. The modern trend is to go
straight to the heart of a situation
to lay bare the facts and work speed
lily and without meanderings to the
center of the plot. And this to be
done with the least distraction possible
and with only such characters as are
essential to the development of the
story. The Thief is a notable ex-
ample of this variety of play, and
Herbert Kelcey and Effle Shannon. at

zone Of the principal reasons for
