LETT. TO
HEAD CAST IN ABE
MUSICAL COMEDY
AbOrns to Present "SuItan Of
SuIu'-ExcelIent Bills at
Vaudeville Houses.
MONG the musical comedy OFFER

A MONG the musical comedy offer
~ inss which the Aborn Opera
Company, at Olympic Park, have
introduced by way of variety into their
usual comic opera fare. one of the most
thoroughly enjoyable was THE Sultan
of Sulu," which they revived for a
week last summer, and which they will
present again for the coming week, be-
ginning mex Monday night.
When this piece was first produced
by Henry W. Savage at Wallack's
Theatre, New York, it was prophesied
that George AIDE. the librettist. would
occupy the same place in comic opera
in this country as w. S. Gilbert had
filed in England. for the book Of THE
Sultan Of Sulu" is a satire upon Ameri-
a life and institutions. of much the
same style as the Gilbertian travesties
of English customs.
AIDE is a master at character draw
ing, and the keen insight into human
nature which he displayed in his
comedies, THE County Chairman" and
1.-THE College Widow" was displayed
in q lighter and more playful vein In
THE Sultan of Sulu." The dialogue
is crisp. epigrammatie and witty, the
lyrics are clever and the principal roles
are entertaining caricatures.
To this c~oncoction A. G. Wathall, tbs
composer, fitted an excellent score, con-
tanning many tureful numbers, and he
and AIDE combined their talents ad-
mirably in a number of Irresistible song
hits, notably "R-E-M-O-R-S-E," one
Of the best comic songs of the past de-
cade; "Since I First Met YOU" 1.-THE
Same Little F1irty Came" "In the
Glorious U. S. A." 9TH Jay Bird" the
famous medley. and others.
Robert Lett will return to Olympic
Park after an absence of several
weeks, to assume the title part of the
willy Sultan. Harry Llewellyn will
enact the companion comedy part as
the Sultan's forlorn secretary and all
round ~scapegoat: Dorothy Webb will
head the S%ultan's harem as Chiquita,
wife No. 1; William schuster will be
cast as Col. Jefferson Budd, the Amer
lean politician and amateur hero; Ada
Meade will appear as Henrietta Budd,
the ideal American girl; John r.
Phillips viii be Lieutenant Hardy;
Hattie Arnold will be the strong
minded Pamela Jackson. and w. C.
Welp will be again seen as Wakeful
Jones. the American insurance agent.
Charles H. Jones, who directed the
original production of this piece for
the Savage management, will have
charge of the staging.

Judge John H. Gillett of Hammond,
former member of the supreme court
of Indiana and instructor in the VAL
paraiso College of Law. will hereaft-
er give all that time he devotes to
teaching to the Lincoln Jefferson Col
lege of Law.
The directors of the school are con-
graduating themselves upon what may
practically be termed a coup in secur-
ing the noted jurist to devote all of his
spare time to Hammond's promising in
stitution. Inasmuch as the sessions are
held in the evening, the school work
will in no way interfere with the law
business of the judge. In addition to
Judge Gil1ett. the school has DR.. w. c.
H. Keough, the dean of the college, and
Putney textbooks, as instructors. With
this trio the school is as strongly
equipped for its size as any institu-
tion in the country
The first week of the school has been
very encouraging in the way of at
tendance. The freshman class this year
is larger than that of last yaer and
promises to grow Several students
who have been taking the extension

EAST S|OERS DISCUSS
IMPORTANT MATTERS
Wide Awake Members of
Association Discuss Traf-
fic on Calumet Ave.

The East Side Improvement associa-
ton held a meeting last night, and
while no definite action was taken on
anything there was considerable dis
cussfon along lines affecting the I'M
provement of the east side. 1t was yot-
ed that the president appoint a COM
mittee of three to act as judges on
the lawn improvements and that the
award of prizes be made accordingly
The president has reserved his ap-
pofntments. He is not limited to mem
bers of the association, nor has any
time been set when the inspection is
to be made.
The opening and widening of Calu-
met avenue was discussed. 1t is proba-
bic that the only action that will bs
taken this year are the preliminary
steps to be taken by the board of public
works
While the East Side Improvement as
ISOLATION does not propose to agitate a
whel tax toll gates for Hammorsi
osme time was nevertheless devoted to
the discussion of traffic on Calumet av-
enue. 1t was said that nearly every
vehicle driving any distance in Ham
mond at all goes over Calumet avenue
at some place. Inasmuch as the Calu-
met avenue property owners must main
tain the pavements, they are beginning
to cast about for some means whereby
this burden may be mroe evenly dis
tributed.

Campaign in Lake County

Hobart, Ind, Sept. 17.-Congress-
man E. D. Crumpacker opened the
campaign in Lake County last even
ing with a meeting here which was
attended by 500 enthusiastic citizens.
The meeting was attended by every
candidate on the county ticket.
The impression that was gained
from his speech is that Crumpacker
is absolutely sincere, that he has act
ed according to the dictates of his
own conscience in all matters and
that he has used his best judgement
in his acton on all legislation directly
affecting his constituents.
Speaking of the tariff he said that
he had voted for the bill because he
believed that it was the best bill that
could be passed under the circum-
stances.

He declared that he and Senator AL
bert j. Beveridge had worked in har-
mony in an effort to frame as good a
bill as possible. When they had both
