The worth and the resourcefulness
of the men and women who make up
the Bonstelle Stock : company was
given fine proof, Monday evening. In
the Garrick theater, when transition
was made from the efferyescenf
comedy of@Eove Watches" OF last
week. to the intense drama OF THE
World and His Wife," the play from
the Spanish first made known to De
troit theatergoers last fall by William
Fayersham. This Spanish play Is
gem of dramatic writing, but, as noted
In these columns when the highly
artistic Faversham production was
on the stage of the same theater. not
a play to make popular SUCCESS.
Despite its didactIc discussion OF
the tragedy lurking behind gossip, It's
somewhat stilted dialogue and pecu'
liar point OF view Of the persons In
volyed In its action, the play, as pre-
sented by the Bonstelle company,
made an astonishingly direct appeal
TO the large audience. II seemed to
be taken as most melodramas are by
the average theatergoer-with hearty
applause for injured innocence when
trfumphing over vindictiveness, and
generous use Of the handkerchiefs as
II moved on its tragic close. The
comedy touches were grasped with
avidity and laughter came quickly as
a natural outlet for the sad depression
induced by keen sympathy with the
oppressed and slander-destroyed wife.
Miss Bonstelle assumed the role ere
ated by Julie Opp Faversham. that
of the wife whom unfounded gossip
drives from husband and home. AS
In every thing that Miss Bonstelle at
tempts, sincerity and ability were
brought TO bear In her presentation
OF a very difficult role. The admirers
of this capable actress may feel that
comedy In her greater forte and would
prefer to see her always In char
acters of lighter vein. but tribute must
be paid her ability to grasp the emo
tional role and carry II through with
credit.
Too much praise could scarcely be
given Charles Balsar. for his work az
Don Ernesto, "the man In the case.
who IL also the victim Of cruel Sian.
der. He handled the part admirably
and a better bit Of work could not
have been asked than he gave in the
CLOSING scene, when driven To desper-
alton by the calumny heaped upon the
forsaken Donna fedora, he turns
upon her tcrmentors and denounces
them for their evil minds and SANDER
Gus tongues and defies "the world and
his wife" to trample uponh further,
In the care and protection he proposes
henceforth to give to fedora. Mr..
Balsar is an earnest and forceful
young actor and will make a large
and loyal following during his stay
In Detroit, beyond a doubt.
The versatility OF Hugh Dillman was
shown In his clever work as Pepito.

DOROTHY ARNoLDcAsE REVIVED
A Systematic Dragging Of Lakes In
Central Park Under Way

New York, March 20.-Interest in
the strange disappearance OF Dorothy
Arnold was revived Saturday after
noon when three squads of men UNI
der the direction of the park depart
ment commenced to drag three lakes
in Central Park in search for the
young woman's body.
Francis r. Arnold, father OF Miss
Arnold has expressed a belief from
the first that she was either thrown
or jumped into one of the Central
Park lakes and the present action by
the park department was taken at the
request of his attorneys.
It had been the habit of Miss Arm
old to walk through the park on her
way home after a shopping trip and
it has been commonly believed that
she was on her way home when she
dropped out of sight.
The waters of Central Parks lake
failed to give up the body of Miss
Arnold when searchers pulled their
graphing hooks from the last of the
three big ponds tonight. The result
of the search disappointed thousands
who lined the shore. The bushes and
crannies of the park had been preyi-
ously inspected and no further search
will be made.
The failure to find the body appar-
entity disproves the theory of her
father, that she had met foul play
while on her way home through the
park and her body thrown in a lake,
his lawyers declare. There Is no
further clue, they say

THE ARMoRY PROJECT

The local Socialists are opposed 10
the village voting $500 tomorrow to-
ward the building of an armory in
town, as will be seen by the letter
printed in another column in which
they make a very clever and plausi.
Bile argument against IT, Still we
can hardly believe that the danger is
quite as menacing as Mr. Armstrong;
letter would have us believe
We hardly think Bennington will
be exposed to any serious or bloody
outbreak if it should vote the money
for the armory Theories are one
thing and practice is something en-
tirely different
Bennington already has a military
company and is likely to continue to
have This company has no quar-
tiers. The state offers to pay four
ffths of the expense of building for
this company provided the town will
pay the other one-ffth 1t is simply
little business proposition whether
the village wants new fifteen thous-
and dollar building here badly enough
TO vote fifteen hundred dollars toward
it. If there is any great moral issue
attached we fail to see it.
The only persons who have said
anything publicly in favor OF the ar
mory are Senator Cushman and the
editor of the Banner and it takes a
pretty strong effort of the magma
ton to class either OF the two as
capitalists.
II is merely a small matter Of To-
cal pride and public spirit
Now The Banner is in sympathy
with most of the objects aimed at by
the Socialists and in some respects
would go farther than they propose
but we sometimes think that the lead
ers of the movement spend so much
time in reading socialism, talking so
cialism and thinking socialism that
they get a wrong perspective and il
dwelling too intently on their own
theories lose sight Of real good out
side their own cult
No one theory or one organization
will reform or even markedly i'm
prove the world The world grows
better only as the average individual
grows better There are many agen
cies seeking to raise the standard Of
the individual. One OF these agen-
cies is socialism and as such it is tC

others just as earnest, just as honest
just as sincere and no one group
