1.-THE Goose Girl" Pleasing Dramatiza'
ton Of MaeGrath Novel.

The Goose Girl" Pleasing 0ramatixa-
ton Of MaeGrath Novel.
'"The Goose Girl" a romantic drama
tailored by George D. Baker from the
novel Of the same name by Harold
MacGrath, was presented for the first
time at tho Odeon Tuesday evening
and pleased q fair-sized audience. The
drama follows the story Of the novel
closely and the greatest criticism that
could be made Of the dramatization is
that too many situations have been
lifted from the book into the play,
making the plot at times too complex
and not altogether clear. The story
is one that appeals to the average
theatergoer owing to its rapid action,
Its dramatic climaxes and its romance.
The presenting cAnpary was for
the most part good and the produce
ton was elaborate. Miss Virginia Ack-
erman in the title role was pretty and
capable. and prominent in her sup
port were Victor Sutherland. as Ar
thur Carmichael. the American consul;
Albert Veazie. az the grand duke Of
Ehrenstein; Brian barley, as the
prince regent Robert Ellis as Leopold:

MAY GET BIRD MAN
FairAssocistion Committee Neg oti.tins
For Two or Three Flight. For Sep
tember Fair-convert Swine She'd.
Into Cattle Stable.

1t is very probable that the chief at
traction Of the annual Marshall county
fair next September will be two or
three daily aeroplane flights. A sub
is In negotiation for such feature for
the fair. and the negotiations have
progressed to such a point that it is
reasonably certain that a contract will
be signed before many weeks. Under
the plan talked over if bird man is
secured he will be employed to fly
either on two or three afternoons. 1t
is expected that arrangements can be
made to have the fights start and end
inside the race track circle
At the meeting of the executive
committee Of the fair held Tuesday
afternoon it was decided to convert the
two permanent swine sheds into cattle
barns The sheds are now in the
southwest corner OF the grounds. They
will be lacked up, skidded onto the race
track and hauled around it to a point
just east of the south row of old cattle
stalls. They will then be moved of the
track and placed southeast of the old
sheds and around the curve Of the
track coming into the home stretch.
The two buildings. after being
moved will be placed end to end, a
cupola enlargement will be built be-
tween them and they will be widened
so that the ground dimension, when
the buildings are finished will be
40x13O feet. This year at least the
swine will be exhibited in tents. The
owners prefer to have their animals
under canvas rather than in the sheds,
which were too lightly built to make
the pens comfortable for the animals
in hot weather. This Is one Of the rea-
sons the barns are being converted
into another use.
The painting, tree trimming, and re-
the grounds in condition for the fair,
pairing Of roads, work necessary to put
will be begun soon.

ports Favorabiy on Men.

The board of directors Of the Mar
shalltown Club is going to get behind
the proposed public utilities franchises
as booster movement for Marshall
town if it can be convinced that the
franchises are a good thing.
At its regular meeting Tuesday eve
ming the franchises were discussed In
detail, and it was the general opinion
of the directors present that the fran
chises appeared on their face to be a
good thing for the city, but before TAX
ing any definite action on the subject
the board decided to send President J..
L. Williams and Director E. D. Hamil-
ton to Cedar Rapids to make inquiry
as to the people who are asking for
the franchises. If these men are salts
fed that the DoWs- Smith Reed group
are enterprising and fair in their con-
duct of public utilities the board of
directors will probably go on record as
favoring the franchise and will COM
mend it to the members of the Mar

on building and loan work, and in that
way stimulate the interest in the saw

Sidney L. Mason, as Count Won Her
bert: Charles G. Perley, as Colonel
Won Wallenstein; James H. Lewis, as
Hans Grunback; and Florence l. Nell
son IS Princess Hildegarde. One OF
the most finished characterizations
seen here this season was that of Mr.
Lewis as Grumback. His work was
unaffected. natural and at times highly
realistic. The comedy parts were
weak and at times the situations de-
scended to horse play.
The Goose Girl has been on the
stage only a short time, but from the
production of Baker and Castle it
would seem that the play is destined
to a long life, It has great possihil-
tiles and with the cast properly
strengthened it might easily become as
great a success as The Prisoner OF
Zenda,' The Pride Of Jennico,' and
other old times romantic favorities.
