GEORGETOWN CLUB
WINS HIGH PRAISE
"The Last of the Gladiators"
Given by Dramatic
Association.

A new era has begun for the George
town University Dramatic Association
following the most succe1 1sful production
in its history at the Columbia Theater
yesterday afternoon before a crowded
house THE Last of the Gladiators,"
written by ]. d. Mccarthy. S. J., and
staged with an elaborateness and taste
that would have done justice to a pro-
fessional production, was the vehicle on
which the university assoclat ton rode 20
success.
The receipts from the box office and
those from the sale of programs by a
number of young women exceeded the
most sanguine hopes Of those in charge
of the affair. All the profits were
turned over today to the st. Rose Tech
nical School. conducted by the Sisters of
Charity
The play is a religious one, based on
the battle carried on between the new
Christianity and the state in ancient
Rome. 1t is an intensely dramatic
story setting forth the life and death
of Telemachus, one OF the last of the
martyred gladiators. The part of Tele-
machus was taken by Stephen w. Car
roll, of the class of 1912. Mr.. Carroll
showed marked dramatic ability, his
work being especially deserving of
praise in the scene in which the EN-
peror Theodosius, who is seeking for
giveness from Archbishop Ambrose for
a recent massacre of Christians. orders
the daring churchman killed for de-
nouncing him TeIemachus throws him
self between the advancing soldiers and
the archbishop, and the emperor,
touched by the fervor of the church
man and the believer, becomes asChris-
tian.
The part of the emperor is excellently
taken by John NJ. Power, of the 1911
class. The remainder of the cast which
includes citizens and soldiers and court
and church officials, does well The
handling of the scenes in which dozens
were on the stage at a single time was
good with but two exceptions.

Dissertation of the Sabbath everywhere
you look" is statement made by JUS
uce Harlan, of the United States Su-
preme Court, at the thirty-fourth an
nual banquet of the Presbyterian ALI
ance OF Washington at Eastern Pres
byterian Church last night. He de-
clared that II is a shame that certain
people from New York and other cities
should come to the Capital with their
wealth and give Sunday dinner and
supper parties or the Sabbath, which
should be devoted to higher things.
Scores Sunday Mail Delivery.
The Sunday delivery of mail he de-
clared was another desecration of the
Sabbath, and he said there was no rea-
son for such fragrant violations of the
day as were seen in Washington. He
expressed the hope that the alliance
would work to improve those conditions.
People should give at least one day
each week to affairs higher than those
of everyday life he said, and he praised
the Presbyterian Church for its attitude
on that question. He concluded with
the expression of hope that Washing
ton would be a model city in Sabbath
observance.
DR.. j. H. Howerton, professor Of phil
osophy in Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, advocated a campaign against
tainted. money, but said that such a
campaign would raze all the universities
ana colleges Of the country.
Deplores Financial Inequality.
'All the endowments of the great in
stitutlons OF learning are dragged from
the hands Of the poor man by Napoleons
OF finance" he asserted, 'and the STU
dents and professors live at ease on the
money thus gotten" He deplored the
inequality Of opportunity in the ffnan-
clal world, but said the evil was here to
stay for all time
The Rev. Donald C. Macleod made an
address on the history of the Presbyte-

was informed the building had been
sold to a new owner.
Six owners within a year were given
for the apartments, and in the courts
1t is planned to fx responsibility and
present ownership.
