YAGABONDS OFFER
THE LOTTERY MAN
AS BILL NEXT WEEK
Belasco Patrons Will See
Farce Comedy With
Reputation.

At the Belasco Theater next week
THE Vagabonds" company will present
Rida Johnson Young's farce comedy,
The Lottery Man." which had year
run in New York, and was seen at the
Belasco here early last fall, with Cyril
Scott as the star of the original cast.
The plot deals with a reporter who
offers himself as a husband to be won
through a ottery conducted by his
paper. The scheme is a great success,
over 100000 tickets being sold. Falling in
love with a beautiful girl in the mean
time, his dfsmay may be ina gined when
the winning number of the lottery is
held by a freakish old maid. However
everything ends happily. At the close
Of the performance there will be pre-
sented Sir Henry Irving's one-act sue
cess, entitled Waterloo" in which Full
Ter Mellish will play the role created by
Irving, and Linonel Belmore will play
the role Mr.. Mellish played when a
member of Irving's company. As these
brilliant players are not in the cast Of
the preceding comedy, this added bill
is to provide an opportunity for these
favorites to be seen next week. In
The Lottery Man" Cyril SCOTS origi-
nal role of the reporter will be played
by Henry Mortimer.

Judge Tells Graduates
To Be Self-Reliant

An address by Justice Anderson, of
the District Supreme Court, and the
awarding Of prizes and diplomas mark
ed the close Of the year In the Wash
ington Collegiate School. The exercises
were held last night. Six young men
received diplomas. and each is planning
to enter college in the fall.
The prize winners included Mai Kim
Bee, Of Siam, who maintained the high
est scholarship in English. Others who
won prizes were John W. Thompson,
Vinton L. D. Pierce, Fenton G. Saun-
ders. and Preston Bacon. Honorable
mention was given 10 Seward Bacon and
Ross D. Thompson. The presentation
Of both diplomas and prizes was made
by Principal Paul n. Peck.
Justice Anderson urged the members
of the graduating class and school to
strike out for themselves without re-
lying on theig parents for aid. He said
that the percentage of rich mems sons
who make a success OF life is much
smaller than in the ranks Of the young
men who do not have the advantages OF
wealth. Justice Anderson said that the
reverse of this condition would be true
II the rich mems sons had due measure
of self-reliance and ambition.

power OF compelling amiability on the
part of the most unpromising subject.
Heading the cast Is a quartet of fun
makers that should keep things moving.
This quartet includes A. H. Van Buren,,
Frederick Forester, George w. Barber
and Everette Butterfeld, who have been
