RICE ADDS TO

Surprising himself in the power
and strength of his former presenta-
tions, Phidelah Rice covered himself
with new glories last night in his
rendition of THE. Tanning of the
Shrew." His careful study of Shakes
pearean roles. his magnetic personal
ity. together with his inimitable ar
tistic powers showed to the greatest
advantage in this presentation. and
those who had heard him before in
the same play agree that his work
last night was finer to large degree
than when the same subject was
presented before.
''Petruchio" was the central char
acter. About him revolves the scenes
of the play and dependent upon him
are the other characters. Therefore,
MIR. Rice's art showed strongest in
his portrayal of this difficult char
acter. 1t is not saying too much to
declare that no Shakespearean actor
or reader has been more successful
in this role than Mr.. Rice.
Moreover. the reader did not allow

Will Cover Nearly Entire
Broad-C Cedar -Halsey-
Canal Block.
TO BE ONE OF BIGGEST
STRUCTURES IN CITY
Announcement Also Made That
Oscar Michael Has Retired
from Firm.

Coincident 18th the announcement
that Oscar Michael had retired from
the firm of l.. S. Plaut & Co.
on February 1, 1912, comes the
announcement that the firm will
soon begin the erection of six-story
modern fireproof department store,
taking in the entire block bounded by
Broad, Cedar and Halsey streets and
the Morris and Essex canal. with the
exception of two small plots, one on
the corner of Broad and Cedar streets
and the other on the corner of Halsey
and Cedar streets. This is the plot
now occupied by the firm.
The announcement of the new build
ing was made today by Louis Hood,
of Hood >& Hood, acting as counsel
for the firm. and, while the plans as
yet are not matured, the building.
when finished, will be one that will be
a great credit to North Broad street,
and will rank with other structures
that have gone up in that neighbor-
hood recently.
The frontage on Broad street and on
Halsey street will be about 140 feet,
with a depth of 400 feet, making the
store one of the largest in the city. 1t
is proposed to have the front construct
ed either of white marble or white tile,
while the interior will be entirely of
iron and steel construction, with fire.
proof floors and partitions where parti-
tions are needed.
Cost Not Yet Decided Upon.
No estimate as yet has been made as
to the cost of the new building, this
being explained by Mr.. Hood as being
due to the fact that it may be. and
probably will be, found necessary to
erect the building in sections in order
not to interfere with the daily business
of the concern.
The stables that now occupy part
of the Cedar street frontage will be torn
down at once, the firm having arranged
for stable room elsewhere. 1t is prob
able that construction work viii COM
mence about April on TIE plot now
used as stables, and that section COM
pleted before the Broad street end is
torn down and the work of rebuilding
started on that street.
1T is the purpose of the firm," said
Mr.. Hood, ito make the new building
a model of its kind. Every known I'M
provement and convenience will be in
stalled as we'll as every effort made
to make the salesrooms light and
roomy. There will be no narrow aisles
and everything will be done to aid the
comfort of the patrons"
Mr.. Hood said he expected it would
be some time before the detailed plans
of the new building would be ready,
but that once ready the work would
be rushed to completion as speedily as
possible.
