AvIAToRs TO FLY IN BOSTON
Nineteen Year Old Wife viii Do

Boston, March 25.--Letters receiv-

half OF the Harvard Aeronautical So
clety for the flying meet at Atlantic
City and who has been studying avi-
alton with Claude Grahame White in
England since last fall, announces
that Mr.. Martin and his wife and pro-
ably Grahame-White will come here
for the second meet to be held on
August 26 to September 4.
Mr.. Martin has been making a fine
record as a flyer since taking the
course with the noted English avia-
tor, and his wife whom he married
after he went to England also is said
to be showing much ability as an avi-
ator, Her name was Lily Irvine and
she is only 10 years old. Mrs. Mar
tin enjoys the distinction of being the
first professional "aviatress," as Mr..
Martin styles her, in either England
or America, and when she comes to
Atlantic City is likely to prove a great
addition to the meet. AT present she
is flying with her husband at the
London Aerodrome.

U. v. N. COLLEGE PLAY
Humorous and Interesting Coming
Here April 5


"The lspahan Rug" the University
OF Vermont play which will be pres
ented at the Bennington opera house
April 9Th has in Seyawa Antnar, a
character not especially unique but
admirably drawn. Antnar comes to
this country as attache of the Per-
sian embassy at Washington. He is
fresh from the intrigue and turmoil of
an Eastern court and his methods in
trying to obtain possession of the
lspahan rug do not differ from those
he would have used in a similar I'M
dertaking in his native land.
Eastern plot and counterplot with
an American setting guarantee excite
ment. And beside Antnar's machina-
tons there are on foot several other
schemes on the part of others to get
the famous and valuable rug. The
different sets of conspirators come
together at last in the garden of the
man they plan TO rob and the action
throughout the third and fourth acts
is rapid and thrilling enough to suit
the most exacting.
1t is during the third act that an
/ aeroplane appears in full fight
across the stage carrying the hero
inc and a dissipated reporter who
finds in the situation "a chance to re-
deem himself and regain the respect
OF his fellows. This is one of the
most dramatic situations in the piece.
George p. futile. Vermont II, the
author of the play, appears in the
comedy lead as Theodore Burns. an
irrepressible insurance agent. His
part is one of the cleverest in the
play and his comedy situations have
been devised and arranged excellent

load his revolver as he had exhaust
