THE PARK
HARRY BRADLEY IN
 IMBECILE ROLE

IN MADAME x''
 One of the most striking bits of character acting seen upon the stage Bradley. who plays the half witted porter of the hotel where the crime is committed for which Madame x is tried It is one of those creations which stand out in a season,s play going by the sheer force of it's clean cut strength. The alf-imbecile look, the mawxish sentfmentality, the ut- ter hopelessness of the character are all brought out with telling simpli- city and far-reaching effect. ft is accomplished in a strain of absolute realism as to every detail. but it is In the midst of his 1udicrous drawl there is a pathetic touch and spec tators who shape their mouths to laugh at his droll appearance are sur pfised to sob instead. The care with wLlich Mfr. Bradley dresses the part is obvious In the court room scene he tries to look his best, but from the bald spot on his head to his long. loose sleeves and trousers he is a gawk even when dressed in his best. gro do nothing in real life is not a difficult task says MT. Bradley, <-and many people accomplish it without an effort; but to do some
 
 quite different thing. I have been asked by many people how I get such an insane expression on my face and look the idiot so naturally. Perhaps T have been endowed by nature, and if had never played any other parts in my life could readily think so. The only definition I can give is to think of nothing and leave the mind a perfect blank. In stage career of twenty years have been called upon to play many parts and I have all ways made it a rule when travelling on street cars or trains to watch different types of characters pertain ing to the, parts I am depicting. have been in a number of companies that have played towns containing an insane asylum. and have often 1iven entertainments for the inmates and a careful study of their counten- Ances has given me a great many ideas. When I was engaged by MT. Eavaee for the part of Victor in Madame X'' the idea struck me that the only way he could be made to count was by making him simple minded. so that there would be some cause for a pretty girl. like his wife, to leave him for a commercial trav- eIler in soaps. am indebted to Geo., Marion for many ideas. The actor gives a general conception of the part. but it is the director who works in the detail which makes a perfect whole'' The sale of seats opened today for Madame x" the attraction at the Park Friday and Saturday.

Phosphorus Supply,

DR.. J. T. Willard, chemist oi
the Agricultural College, is oi
the opinion that one of the great
est problems that will confront
the farmer of the very near fu-
ture will be that of securing an
adequate supply of phosphorus
for the soil. Farm crops require
about 10 different chemical ele-
ments for their proper develop
ment and maturity but there are
3 of these which are especially
important. These are nitrogen,
potash and phosphorus. Of these
the first is supplied by the grow
ing of legumes such as alfalfa,
clover, soy beans and cow peas.
The second is already present in
most soils in sufficient quantity
but the third must be supplied.
The present sources of this sup
ply are the guano beds of the
south sea islands; the phosphate
rocks of Florida, Tennessee and
Idaho or the feeding of the crops
on the land so that the refuse
from the feed and the manure of
the animals may be returned to
the soil. Conditions are such
that the government should pro-
hibit the export of phosphate
rock from our very limited sup
ply. This expectation is now
being done on a large scale, If
reports are to be believed, while
our total visible supply is not
nearly equal to our needs. Such
an action together with the feed
ing of live stock on the farm are
the only apparent solutions to
the problem of conserving our
phosphorus.
