Lyceum Theatre
Vaughan CHASER To Play A Special
Return Engagement At The ly-
ceum Theatre In "Cameo
Kirby"

Vaughan Glaser has made happy
choice in selecting Cameo kirby"
for his return engagement of one
week at the Lyceum Theatre, start
ing Sunday matinee April 9th.
The play is from the prolific pens
of Booth Harrington and Harry Leon
Wilson, those energetic playwrights.
Dustin Farnum created the title role
at the Hackett theatre, New York,
where it enjoyed run of nearly a
year.
Cameo Kirby" is an excellent We
hicle for Mr.. Glaser, the Smooth
voiced, white-handed bosomed
gentleman of the green CLOTH" offer
ing pleasant possibilities. The fas-
cination of the old-time gambler, who
piled his trade among his betters in
the cabins of the Mississippi steam
boats, still fingers and he is now, in
fiction and theatre.
Mr.. Glaser is a southern by birth
and comes naturally by the southern
drawl which fits so well with the
character of Cameo Kirby" Again
Mr.. CHASER possess the right physique
for the part. Cameo Kirby" is a
play the public will enjoy. 1t thrills,
entertains, stirs the emotions and fas-
cinates," wrote the critic of the Chi
cago Tribune" during the long Chi
cago run of the romance of adven-
ture in Old Louisiana.
Cameo Kirby" is a well-drawn
figure and Mr.. Glaser knows we'll
how to give the note of poetry which
will differentatiate reticence and
Whimsical quietness of manner from
mere languor. The lady who is re-
sponsible, for Kirby's awakening op-
timism is played by Miss Fay Court
eney in very charming manner.
The play will be mounted in
manner that will be fully up to the
Glaser standard. This will be Mr..
Glaseris farewell appearance in To-
ledo this season.

about peck OF silver dollars. The
only difference between his product.
and that of Uncle Sans was that the
counterfeiter put couple more
grains Of silver in his. He got away
with 1t for months. and when we be-
gan to collect evidence we had bags
full Of the phony dollars. When the
man was placed on trial the learned
members of the bar were permitted
to satisfy their curiosity by handling
the counterfeits. But the man was

COUNTRY OF GIANT MELONS
succulent Fruit Grows to Enormous
Size In Certain Portions Of
e Turkish Empire. .l

Both the water and musk melon Of
Diarbekir are the largest have ever
seen. Watermelons grow In Diarbekir
each as large as a flour barrel, and
muskmelons, but little smaller, only
the muskmelon Is rounder, like a
pumpkin.
These melons are raised in the bed
OF the Tigris, as after the spring rains
are over and the SHOWS have melted
from the mountains the river shrinks
to comparative insignificance, and
large tracts of the bottom land are
thus exposed.
This land rs plowed, and in each
hill where the seeds are planted a
quantity Of pigeon manure is mixed In
with the earth. There are people in
Diarbekir engaged in breeding pigeons
for no other purpose than to sell the
manure to the melon growers.
AS the melons are growing over the
moist soil Of what was a river for six
months of the year. no irrigation is
necessary and, though 1t seldom rains
during the summer, the melon vines
never dry up. The meat of these wa
ter and musk melons is, however,
very coarse and not nearly as sweet
as the melons Of smaller varieties in
other districts of this country.-Con-
