impetus in the Northwest Mr.
Lively takes up the matter of feed,
gives the value of different forage
crops, fed single and in connection

been given to the American public So
great has been its appeal that compan-
les are now presenting the play in
three countries outside of the United
States,-England. Germany and Aus
tralia. In each of these countries it
has won for itself the acme of public
favor. There is a spirit that pervades
the playa spirit of heorism, of self
sacrifice and of great love There is
a virility, humor and whimsicality
that makes for this drama a very foun-
tain of laughter and a we'll of tears,
and above all there is strong thread
of high purpose that knits the whole
together in an indeescriDably attrac-
tive manner. 1t is a big play that
abounds in laughter and pathos, and
one that bids fair to rival other IA
nous American dramas for many years
to come. The managers have given
the piece sumptuous scenic inves-
ture and have surrounded Mr. Cook
with a company of players that could
not be surpassed.

In presenting Mr. Carl Cook in the
now celebrated play, THE Squaw
Man" Messrs. Gilman & Company feel
they have effected combination Of
play and star that can not be surpass-
ed. for Mr. Cook has achieved so en-
viable reputation in Western roles
that he may be said to stand alone in
the delineation of these types. 1t is
universally agreed that in the title role
Of this play he has found the most en-
phatic suitable medium for his re-
markable talent since his appearance
upon the stage. The accuracy of his
portrayal together with the natural
ability he brings to his work have
united in producing an entirely new
conception of pure American drama
While the unanimous approval of the
press and the unstinted appreciation
Of the public has resulted in a eulogy
unique in dramatic annals
The play itself has earned a tribute
for clean, wholesome, thorough-going

Briefly the celebrated speaker said
that the English speaking peoples

light-hearted into delicious entangle-

splendidly melo-dramatic. The clean
fine atmosphere of the production is
most wholesome and welcome. The
heart interest is deep and natural.
There is a triangle love affair and the
story of the play contains several So

Great attention has been given to
make the stage setting as elaborate

popular successes of the day.

FORBES ROBERTSON IN SYMBOLIC PLAY
Second Season of THE Passing of the Third Floor
Back Successul-PaIents Should Be Careful
of Their English, Says Great Actor.

the presence of a man who, called
The Stranger" takes the back room
on the third floor
The Stranger symbolizes the bet
ter SELF or that divinity which is
found in embyro in the deepest dregs
of humanity
Dramatically, or theatrically, rather,
it can be easily understood that only
the most exquisite art could hold the
attention of the average auditor, or
impress with its sincerity.
Forbes Robertson, in this symbolic
play reaches the apogee of dramatic
art. 1t is doubtful if any other actor
on the English speaking stage. could
convince in this role. And this not
alone for those unrivaled accessories
with which he is gifted-a marvellous
voice, full of caressing cadences, of
tonal richness and variety: wonderful
eyes. and an uneXcelled grace of move
ment-but for dramatic intuition as
subtle as it is seemingly occult.
There is a certain tense and alb
sorbing moment when the actor SEEM
ingly warns his hands before a fire
which has no visible presence-stand-
ing lightly rubbing his hands together
over the footlights just behind which
there is a suggestion Of a fender
which has no equal in theatrical annals
in giving an impression of actuality.
! This is the art of acting raised to it's
highest power.
! Forbes-Robertso is admittedly the
greatest living Hamlet" Even that
rabd and exquisitely amusing iconoc-
! last. Mr.. George Barnard Shaw, says in
summing up Mr. Forbes Robertson s
excellenCies in presentation
See all that; and you have seen a
true classical Hamlet. Nothing half
SO charming has been seen by this
and again"
THE Passing of the Third Floor
Back" illustrates that value of elimi-
nation to which this column referred
the other day as one of the main
springs of the effectiveness of art.
Forbes Robertson eliminates and
prunes and casts out relentlessly. He
is as inexorable as he is heroic-for
here is a role that calls for accentua-
tions, for garish coloring, for melo-
dramatic utterances and posings as
naturally as day calls for contrasts
from the night. This is the reason
that no one but dramatic genius
could take the role in perfection, could
make it otherwise than a sort of litho-
| ora ,hic caricatllre
And because of this we make pro-
found salaam to Mr.. Johnstone Forbes
Rovertson, as wonderful. superla-
tive and a very great artist.

Notwithstanding the bear stories"
that Butler was in weak condition
they came with their best lineup and

ter the first whistle sounded it was
evident that they we're no match for

Thomas, captain of the visiting team
kicked off. Earlham carried the ball
to Buffers thirty yard line where they
tried a place kick, which failed and the
ball went to the visitors.
Thomas attempted punt. Reagan
captured the pig-skin and carried 1t
through the entire line for a touch
