tiful and tasty in their arrangement.

UP AT AUDUBON

Audubon, Ia, Aug. 24.-Thursday
at the home of Frances Garroutte,
northwest of town, a lively time was
had when according to report, pic
ture agent became abusive and in
suited daughter of Mr.. Garroutte.
His son, Emery, heard the vile in
sulting remark and he gave the agent
la good beating, laying him up for
repairs at one of the hotels in Au-
dubon. He was not able to appear at
the trial that was to have been held
Tuesday. There are some gentle
men among the agents that have
been here, but a few this summer
seem to take offense when people do
not give them an order and there
have been several complaints about
them. A few weeks ago one became
abusive to woman alone in her
home and when she went to tele-
phone for an officer he stepped be-
tween her and the phone and would
not let her use it.

trial week in the early spring, Amy
Crostic had seemed to realize the
part Of Nadia to perfection. Now the
play was to spoiled for the season

There was look of determination
on Manfred's face as he called the
company to order. With the excep-
ton of Loretta Willing, the girl with a
pull, the company had been engaged
in the trial performance. and there
was no necessity for reading the play,
so after a brief explanation to Lor-
eta as to what her part was, they
plunged at once into rehearsal.
1t was hard time for the girl
Manferd made her play her one scene
over and over again, criticizing her
infection, her gestures, her under
standing of the role, finally winding
up by declaring that he would have
Miss Crostic present in the morning
to show how the part should be
played.

Before rehearsal was called in the
morning, he sought Loretta out and

MANFRED'S
LOMACY
By TAYLOR WHITE

John Manfred regarded with hope
less despair the trembling, colorless
little woman who sat in chair at one
side of the stage.
Il won't take that willing woman,
he said decidedly. Send her over to
Judson; he needs some extras"
Cant be DONE" declared Bayes.
She stays with this show"
Much good it will do" grunted Man
fred. Are tou running an annex to
dramatic school that you take a
girl like that when Amy Crostic was
born and brought up just . play this
part?"
Il don't care if the whole world
was created so that the Crostic girl
could play this part" said Bayes hot
ly. Look here, Manfred he added
more conciliatingly. This kid is the
protege of Tim Cullian Her father is
one OF the big wheels in the mcahine
and Tim says she must have her
chance. There are Ga different vic,
lations against the Momus theater
The lease runs out in May If we
make the repairs the building depart
ment wants it will cost $4,000. If
we don't make the changes, We'll have
to close the house and lose the $780,
600 rent we shall have to pay wheth-
er we are open or not. If this girl
plays Mazda, we save that $4,000.
Cullian will see to that Is she a good
actress? / should say that she was"
Bayes turned away with the air of
person who is done, and Manfred
swallowed hard to keep down the
protests that were futile. The role of
Nadia was only a "bit" dozen
speeches in the first act and an oc-
casional remark in the later acts, but
her one scene in the early part of the
first act was the one which gave the
keynote, and, bunglingly played, it
would hurt the entire performance.
Because Cullian was political
power, and only through a powerful
pull could Bayes keep a condemned
theater open through the remainder
of its brief lease of lief. "The Con-
test" Manfred's first produced play
was to be made sacrifice. Manfred
