actress was ever otherwise? The e1ect
is traditional, imaginative, unreal. When
the screen is thrown down Lady Teazle

had conceived the part she played It,
She has among other gifts an art-con-
science; and once inside a part will not
step out Of it. If she plays Lady Teazle
in America she will play it with fuller
resources and a large technique, but
unless her notion Of the character has
changed it will be essentially the Lady
Teazle Of His Majesty's.
But in these days, as for long past, the
School for Scandal" with all its brill

interlude. Modern comedy has possession
OF the stage. The opportunities which

BAD FIRE BREAKS OUT

But for Hammond Fire De-
partment Blaze Might
Have Spread.

A fire of an unknown origin broke
out in West Hammond this noon in a
barn owned by +. Lisk at Freeland ave-
nue. and 154th place, causing a damage
in the neighborhood of $500.
The fire spread rapidly and started
blaze in two more barns. owned by
J. Skopanski and Dombrowski, across
the alley. including a small chicken
house. The flames were gaining big
Roadway and caught barn twenty
feet away. which was put out by a
bucket brigade.
Hammond fire companies Nos 1 and {
answered the calls. but were unable to
fight the flames on account of the low
water pressure and also from the lack
of water. The flames had gained such
headway that II was impossible to do
anything but protect the neighboring
buildings and barns. Had 1t not been
for the Hammond fire companies the
flames would have probably swept the
entire neighborhood.
After the flames were under control
the Hammond departments left it in
charge of the West Hammond compa-
nie:.
1t was reported that the buildings
cradle coal in the buildings and num-
Der of chickens were burned up. A
number of children is said to have been

According to Gus Muenich one of the
owners of the building, Frank Green
wald of Whiting, business agent for
the Bricklayers' union, demanded that
a foreman bricklayer be employed on
the job on the ground that the brick
layers have jurisdiction over this kind
of construction work
Gus Muenich. who superintends the
construction work and runs the cement
mixer, asked Frank Greenwald in eff
feet what a bricklayer foreman knew
about mixing cement, and whether he
could guarantee competency, and why
he. as one of the owners of the build
ing, could not do this work if he de-
sired especially since he knew how to
make the mixture. According to Gus
Muenich, Greenwald could not guaran-
tee that bricklayer foreman was
qualified as a cement building con-
structor. but that he insisted never
theless that one be employed. An at
tempt was made by TINES reporter
this morning to locate Greenwald in
order to secure his side OF the con-
