Director Amberg produced last night at
the Irving Place Theatre Ferdinand Bonn s
historical drama, Der Junge Fritz" This
piece, though written by an actor of expe-
rience and Destruction. 'acks real dramatic
motive beiuL j-- ~ series OF scenes
intended to illustrate the hardships which
Frederick the Great suffered while he was
being educated under the tyrannical direc-
tion Of his father-a true Man of Wrath.
Friedrich Wilhelm dominates the piece with
his harsh intolerance and puritanical sever
ity, and the young prince 5 actual trials are
not in the least minimzed on the stage
But there is only d thin thread of plot
with no sufficient dramatic climax.
Mr. Joseph Schildkraut. a son of Rudolph
SChildkraut, appeared as the crown prince
He IS a beginner In stageCraft. and the part
was a trying one for HIN. Mr.. Kruger was
effective as the harsh and stormy father
and the rest Of the representation was
adequate The play will be repeated TINS

PLANS PREPARED FOR
YIN. C. A. BUILDING
Statement Of Building Commit
tees LabOrs.

General Secretary Edgar T. Honey
has handed out the following state
ment regarding the new Young Mems
Christian association building
'In response to a number of In
quiries regarding the progress of the
work on the new Y. M. C. A. building
the building committee takes pleasure
in stating that it has held frequent
meetings since its appointment in No
lvember last. and has carefully studied
the plans prepared for it by the
architect.
Because of the angular shape Of
the lot and the contour of the ground
great difficulties have been expert
enced and the work of the committee
has necessarily been made slow by
these facts. The committee has felt
that its decision must be based upon
two or three principles. First. it es-
tablished the principle that Morris
town must have a building of abb
solutely modern type. Second. it must
be building that can be erected at
q minimum cost and administered on
minimum budget Third. it must b.
of distinctive type as Morristown
does not want building of the usual
city type. While it Is impossible to
detail the amount of work which has
been done by the committee in con-
sidering the plans in their relation to
these principles, We wish to say to
the public that much time and labor
has been expended and now that we
have at last reached a decision we
are confident the people will be salts
fled with the results of our Iabors.
"The architect has been instructed
to prepare the working plans and the
same will shortly be in the hands of
the contractors for bids 1t is the
hope of the Committee that when the
local men are asked to bid on this
work they will, for the sake of the
association, observe the principle of
economy which has guided our de-
liberations.
"The building committee is as fol-
lows:-Dr. David Hunter McAlpin,
chairman; G. d. M. Cole, e. P. Ford,
S. H. Gillespie, F. e. Stults, Judge
J. B. Vreeland, Edgar T. Honey, secre-
tary, and L. e. Jallade. architect.
