into the hearts OF the audience. The
marimba, on which they play classi'
cal and popular music, is much like
the xylophone. Some OF their music
was familiar TO the boys in the gods
and they whistled an accompaniment.

no less a parsonage than William
Farnum. who, after playing the title
role in ben Hur" and taking leading
parts I'm Shakespearean dramas, is
making his debut In vaudeville. lie
Is appearing in a playlet called The
Mallet's Masterpiece" which suggests
the manner In which the statue OF
the Venus OF Milo lost its arms. MI.
Farnum takes the part of Philotias,
the sculptor, who produces the mar
Bile figure. He is in love with Adon!a,
daughter of King Mermiades. Vasta,
another sculptor, is a rival for her
hand. She favors Philotias, because
OF his success with the statue ot
Venus OF Milo. Vasta, knowing her
reason for fayoring Philotias, stealth
lily invades the workshop OF Philo-
tias. while the latter is in his garden
with Adonia. and destroys the statue
with a mallet
In expressing the mental anguish
OF Philotias over the destruction OF
his work, Mr., Farnum gives a strong
portrayal OF his dramatic capabilities.
Further evidence OF his superb art is
also shown in the control OF his pas
sion when he forces confession
from Vasta and threatens 10 kill him
with the mallet used by Vasta to
destroy the statue.
The part OF Vasta Is we'll taken by
Wells Knibloe, while Miss Olive
White, pretty and possessed OF con-
siderable acting ability, essays the
role of Adonia.
While Mr.. Farnum and his COM
pany are the headliners, there are
other numbers which suffer little by
comparison. Kate Watson. eccentric

lege professor, laugh.

the cards and the bitter anguish at
the discovery OF his daughters de-
ception. In this act, John 4. Kelley
supports him well.
The character OF Tante Katrina as
played by Mathilde Cottrelly follows
close after the work OF Mr.. Mann, In
sympathetic Interpretation. IL would
be hard TO improve on her portrayal
of the substantial hausfrau. Her dia
lect, like Mr.. Manns rings true and
her devotion 10 her eccentric brother
wins the hearts OF the audience.
The other parts are creditably per
formed. Miss Emily Ann Wellman,
as Krauss' daughter Marie and Miss
Parke Patton as Spiegels daughter,
Alice, adequately I'LL the roles assign
ed to them. Edwin Maynard as Mar
tin Macferguson does some good
character work and Rollin +. Holden
as the tough son and Edward Z. Hor
ton as Fred Spiegel also do their
parts well. Charles Halton as Joe
Abrams mars hrs work by a somewhat
too stacy manner, but is otherwise
good
The staging OF the play is done with
a fidelity TO detail, that takes one
right down into the ramshackle old
tenements of the Bowery. One ef-
fective touch was the falling plaster
In the last act There Is little TO
be said about the play as a play. In
the hands OF less skilled actors 1t
would be raw melodrama, but IL we
have 10 take II to get the delightful

associates IL will pass muster.

The German comedy type has long
held the boards on the American
stage and his broken dialect. ludi'
crous expressions and amazement al
some of the phases OF swift American
life have long been recognized as
legitimate material for stage humor'

Mann puts into the part or Johann
Krauss, "The Man Who STOOD sui.
If there has been anything in the line
of German stage humor TO surpass
the pinochle game between krauss
and his lifelong friend, Spiegel. In

EoRI LEWIS SCHOOL

DENVER, Jan. l0-Representative
George Weaver of La Plata county is
father OF a bill to be introduced in
the present session of the legislature
providing for the establishment of a
state branch agricultural school to re,
place the present federal school fol-
Indians at Fort Lewis.
This bill follows the provisions laid
down by a recent plan maze by the de.
partment of the interior for the re.
linqulshment by the government OF
many of its Indian schools in various
states OF the Union. Under the de
partment's proposal the state may take
over the property of these schools, pro
Tided it maintains the institutions at
a prescribed standard.
Under this arrangement the Fort
Lewis school property has been offered
to the state of Colorado. If the pro.
posal is not accepted by the legisla.
ture. the government purposes to sell
the property at public auction not
later than June II, 1911, and abandon
the institution entirely.
Representative Weaver says civil
engineer was recently commissioned
to examine the property, and that he
reported valuable deposits of coal
there. Passing his estimate on a six.
foot body of coal which exists there
in three different veins, this engineer
reported that there is enough OF the
mineral to yield the state at least So,
100000 in royalties at the usual rate
of 10 per cent. Mr.. Weaver says the
engineers report is very conservative.
az it is believed the body of coal is ~
feet deep instead of six. The school
property comprises about 1000 acres
To establish the school, contingent
upon the states acceptance of the
proposition, Representative Weaver's
bill will ask for an Appropriation OF
$50 600 Subsequent cost OF maintain
ing 1t would be much less. The instL
tuition proposed would be under the
government of the State Agricultural
college and would be in the nature OF
a secondary agricultural school. Use.
full trades and housekeeping are rec
ommended as Its principal educational
missions.
