Of the queer ethics of the national

commonest form Of trickery, yet In
professional ball 1t is not considered
wrong, any more than a commander
Of a defensive army would consider
1t wrong to prepare breastworks to
meet an enemy. The extent to which
the fixing of grounds Is carried il
amazing. There probably is not
major or minor league grounds in the

have not the advantage, and visiting

Mr.. Fitch did not necessarily follow too
many facts but just enough to blend GER

his purpose. Barbara Freitchie" is with
out question a play of the Wartime
period that is considered the ideal type OF
Civil War Dramas. The fire of love burns
fiercely throughout the thrilling scenes
and brings wonderfully well-conceiyed
heart interest into the play, with such
realism that the audience loses itself In
the witchery of 1t all. War plays were
always delightful, but Barbara Freitchie'
crowns the lot with a vividness and glory
