new THEATRE A
CREDIT TO CITY
GRAND TO OPEN IN WEEK
PLAYHOUSE WILL BE ONE OF
HANDSOMEST AND MOST
COMPLETE IN STATE.

From Thursdays Daily.
The new Grand theatre, upon which
work of construction has been in
progress for several months, is nov
almost ready for the opening, and the
first show is expected to be presented
within a week.
Will not the largest. the Grand
will be one of the handsomest and
most modern theatres in its equip
. ment in the state and will be an
amusement place in which the citizens
of Conway can take pardonable
pride. The theatre is the property of
II. B. Ingram, who has spared moth
ing in the way of expense to make
the enterprise thoroughly up-to-date
In every respect. 1t will be managed
by j. II. Lincoln, under whose direc-
tion a large part of the planning and
construction of the theatre has been
done
The outside dimenslchs of the
building are 50x122 feet. Five hun
dred and fifty opera chairs, with wide
-aSsles and ample spa,e between rows,
will occupy the lower floor, wh'e the
balcony will have seating capacity
of $50, a space by % feet is pro-
! vided for the orchestra.
The stage is probably the largest
and best equipped of any city of less
than 10000 people in the state. The
,proscenium opening is 25 by Is feet.
The height from the stage floor to the
rigging loft is 36 feet, thus giving
ample distance for the scenery of the
largest theatrical companies. Six
dressing rooms and ample equipment
of every kind are provided for the
stage,
The decoration and illumination of
the theatre will be one of its most at
tractive features The front consists
almost entirely of solid plate glass
mirrors and at night will be made
brilliant by 1875 electric lights and a
large flashing electric sign The in
aierior will be lighted by an indirect
system of illumination and the walls
are beautifully decorated. The stage
will have 800 electric lights. To make
the building comfortable in warm
weather five ventilators and nine big
electric fans have been installed. A
private telephone exchange, bringing
every portion of the building into
reach for communication, has been
provf0ed,
I've management intends to present
The best obtainable class of attrac-
tons throughout the season and most
of the companies appearing at Kemp
ner's in Little Rock will also appear
at the Grand. Until the formal open
ing and on every open date high class
moving pictures will be shown. The
picture equipment is declared to be
the best in the state. Two high grade
motor-driven machines have been in
stalled, thus making it possible to
show pictures with no interruptions
between reels. The first pictures, il
is stated, will be shown within week.

Irish Schools up to Standard,

In speaking of the conditions of the
Irish schools as he found them dur
ing his trip through Ireland, Prof.
Richard O'IIanlon says:
"I had expected to find conditions in
ireland far below our standards.
was agrceably surprised to find a
spirit of progress among all the teach
ers. There seems to be an education
al uplift throughout the land. Higher
standards are being set, the number
of pupils per teacher has recently been
reduced from sixty to forty, and the
salaries of teachers increased about 10
per cent. Compulsory education laws
arc being enforced in most cities. and
children under IA years are not per-
mitted to work during school days.
Teachers retire with pension of from
5000 year for women to $500 for men,
Teachers who become permanently
disabled under 65, are provided for or

Welcome Ban on DeeoIlette Gown,

Though there is no official confirma-
t1on of the report that Pope Plus X
has issued an order that Church dig
nitaries must refuse to attend social
functions where women appear in dec
gillette gowns, Miss Eliza O'Brien
Lummis, moderator Of the Daughters
of the Faith in New York City, has
issued statement expressing the be-
lief that the publicity given to the
subject will have a beneficial effect
The fact that the established rule of
high -necked gowns at ecclesiastical
receptions is always observed in Icu-
rope is not generally known here, she
says. AS result of the publicity
much embarra ssmcnt may be saved
the new American Cardinals appear
ing at affairs where American women
might, through ignorance, appear in
low-cut gowns. Miss Lummis' state
ment has met with the approval of His
Eminencc Cardinal Farley, who adds
that the practice of wearing lace
scarfs over decollctte dresses on such
occasions is not in accordance with
his wishes. The dress must be strict
ly en- regle.

Would Encourage Gaelic Spirit.

without knowledge of his coun-
try's history no man can have an in
telligent basis for national pride and
self respect" Miss Mary Grant
O'Sheridan, noted Irish lecturer, said
in an address before the members of
the Irish Fellowship club at the Hotel
La Sale, Chicago, last week.
The speaker condemned the lack of
Gaelic spirit among present day des-
cendants of Irish ancestors, and de-
clared the history Of the Gaelic race
to be the most generally misunder-
stood subject within the range of hu-
man knowledge.
Long did Gaelic scholars strive to
accomplish something for their coun-
try. Long did they, despised and
starving, toll at their manuscripts in
some bog side or shelter in the rocks
until at last in the face of the print
ing presses of Europe they laid down
their weary pens in death.
"Yet in the face of this glorious his
tory the Gaels of today, with the ex-
ception of few patriots and scholars
know almost nothing Of the land
whence they sprung. Fire, the Sector

IRISH PARTY FUND
In Present Crisis the Leaders Need
Generous Support.


It is to be hoped that the Irish peo-
ple in Ireland will carefully study the
appeal issued by the Trustees of the
Irish Party for the Home Rule fund
for this year, and that they will re-
spond to it in such a way as to show
that they are more than ever in ear
nest in their demand for self-gov-
ernment and in their support of the
Irish Party. The response to the ap-
peal will be watched by friends and
foes in Great Britain. Mr.. Garvin's
organ, the "Pall Mall Gazette" has this
comment on It:
"Mr. Redmond's desperate whip
round for funds is an eloquent COM
ment upon the state Of the cause.
Mr.. Dillon has confessed already that
but for the American subventions, the
Home Rule movement must have COL
lapsed. More recently. payment Of
members, with forced contribution
from Parliamentary salaries, has CIV

der the Insurance Act: Mr. Redmond

Event to Occur During Approach
ing Centenary of the Peace
of Constantine.
Date of Ceremony Not Yet Fixed
will Probably be Set for
March, 1918.

Everything connected with the ap-
preaching celebration of the centenary
Of the Peace of Constantine is, and
will be for twelve months hence,
snatched up with the utmost avidity;
for the recurrence of the anniversary
will, it is felt, be an epoch-making
event in the history of the Church.
At the first meeting of the Superior
Council consisting of representatives
of the Italian, French, German, Span
ish and English tongues. held some
days ago, and presided over by Prince
Mario Chigi in place Of the late Presi-
dent, Prince Mareantonio Colonna, de-
ceased, discussion ran, as was natural,
on the broad outlines of what will
assume gigantic proportions, says the
Rome Correspondent of the Western
Watchman.
One feels safe in saying that the
second reunion, which takes place this
week. will not bring more definite re-
suits than has the previous one; the
enterprise is too vast to be defined in
the first month or two of the life OF
the Superior Council
Among the more important events
that will be Incorporated with the cele-
bration Of the Peace Of Constantine
will be the beatiacation and canoniza-
tion of a larger number Of Servants OF
God. not the least interesting Of which
will be. according to what one can
see ahead at present, the Beati-
fication of the Venerable oliver Punk
ct, Primate Of Ireland, who was hang
ed, drawn and quartered on Tyburn
Hill in the 18th century by Bible-hat-
ing Saxon worthless. Very likely this
event will take place early in 1918, a
date that will prove inconvenient fol
many American and Irish bishops and
priests who would wish to assist al
the ceremony. However, the CHIEF
celebrations will not be held until 1913
for it was in March 313, Constantine
published the Edict Of Milan, which
proclaimed for the prosecuted Church
freedom and autonomy. In the Octo.
ber of 1912, Of course, the Battle of the
NIilvian Bridge was fought, but this
only foreshadowed peace for the
Church, and so the Holy See will not
commemorate this date in any appre.
ciab]e manner.
With regard to Oliver Plunket,
beatification, in case the ceremony il
held about March, 1918, the Irish date
will render a double journey to Rome
necessary for the Irish Bishops since
they will all make their ad limina visi

remember rightly, is the year Sc

The discussion concerned the plac-

private homes, and the contemplated
purchase of some place outside the
city limits as an institution for the
incorrigibles, the children whose moral
condition demands stricter surveil-
lance. The boarding idea had been
attacked by some of those present at
the meeting, and sharp discussion
ensued. Father Kuhlmann, who hav.
ing been present at the meeting held
early in November, had been invited
to attend last weeks, and express his
views on the subject, held to the opin-
ion that the present was very good

some specially chosen clerical stu
dents whose ability and eagerness for
learning would give more than ordi-
nary promise OF success in their
studies. We are quite certain, be-
loved son, that the Bishops will read
lily comply with our express wish in
this matter from which each diocese
will derive beyond doubt the great
est benefit. For these clerics elevat-
ed to the priesthood and returning
to their respective dioceses will, in
any position which the Bishops may
assign them, discharge their duties
with an earnestness all the greater
because of the deeper and wider
knowledge they will have acquired at
Washington.
In this connectioh also we bestow
deserved praise ubon the superiors
of the religious or3ers whose houses
Of study are established at the Uni
versity forming as. it were a circle
of devoted children around their
cherished mother. This grouping in
deed is of mutual advantage; the
colleges add to the adcrnment of the
University and enhance it's prestige,
while on its part the University af-
fords the religious, who, along with
their own studies,t may follow it's
courses, opportunity, 10 profit by the
teaching of the ablest professors and
attain more thoipugl knowledge.
Carefully considering these relations
and concerned above all that those
who are called to the service of the
Lord should by growth in holiness
and knowledge become workmen that
need not to be ashamed, rightly ham
ding the word of truth, we regard
these colleges with special favor and
We exhort the supporters of other re-
ligious orders, while preserving in
tact their regular discipline, to estab-
lish similar institutes.
1t was, furthermore, pleasure to
learn from you that the Bishops who
are directors Of the University had,
with prudent foresight. devised a
plan whereby the teaching sisters
also, without in any way slackening
the =. observance '.s!el van! Of thsir religious
rules, might mere easily enjoy the
advantages of university study, and
thus attain greater efficiency in their
work of educating girls.
What we have thus far set forth
makes it plain that we are fully de.
termined on developing the Catholic
University. For we clearly under.
stand how mucn a Catholic univer
sity of high repute and influence can
do toward spreading and upholding
Catholic doctrine and furthering the
cause of civilization. To protect it.
therefore, and 70 quicken it's growth
is, in our judgment, equivalent to
rendering the most valuable service
to religion and to country alike.
AS an omen Of Gods favor and 6
token of our own good will accept the
Apostolic Benediction which we most
lovingly in the Lord bestow upon
you, beloved son. as also upon the
rector, the professors and the stu
dents Of the Catholic University.
