LANDING DAY"IS
DULY OBSERVED
Knights of Columbus Give Good
Program-Judge Scanlon
Delivers Address.

Landing day." the anniversary of
the landing in America of Christopher
Columbus, was celebrated Saturday
evening by Allouez Council Knights
of Columbus, with a splendid program
which was held at the Illinois theatre.
About 400 Of the members and their
friends attended. Judge Hickman
SCanlon of Chicago was the principal
speaker of the evening, being intro
duced by the chairman, Albert Huber.
Judge Scanlon paid a high tribute
to the great discoverer, Christopher
Columbus in his address. Columbus,
l believe told the truth when he said
that he was used as an instrument in
the hands of the Almighty in the dis
covery OF this great country.
This country is the work of divine
providence. You can see the work of
God in every step of the country's his
tory. This land of ours is the favored
land of the Almighty just as was Je-
rusalem In the long ago. The Al
mighty had preserved this continent
of ours, the greatest in the world, I'M
til we were fit to inhabit it and then
guided Columbus TO its discovery. We
cannot pay too high a tribute to the
great discoverer Christopher Colum-
bus" The speaker then launched in
to a discussion of religion and paid tri-
butte to the many Roman Catholics
who figured prominently in American
history.
The program was carried out in
most Commendable manner. The in
strumental and vocal selections were
nicely rendered. Edward Stackhouse
who was to have given reading was
called out of town IN the afternoon
and could not speak. The complete
program follows:

or great importance" theatrical
manager said recently. The explana-
ton for the request is generally the
same-tnat deaf people in the audience
who depend on lip reading rather than
hearing lose the run of the play if
some important lines are spoken by a
person whose lips can't be read. An
actor or actress who's stuck on posing
in profile is always the despair of the
deaf people in the audience, as they
say its almost impossible TO read lips
in profile.
.'Out ticket agent hears another side
of the same question. People tell him
when buying tickets that some one In
the party is stone deaf and must read
the lips Of the actors in order to fol-
low the play Then they ask him on
which side Of the theater these par
ticular seats should be located TO make
this lip reading the most satisfactory
Often the stage setting decides which
way the actors must face. and if s
deaf person gets on the wrong side OF
the house the play is practically lost.

RETURNS TO CITY
IN STRONG DRAMA
"Kindling," East Side Trag-
edy, Will Be Shown at
Belasco Theater.

Kindling," three-act play by
charles Kenyon in which Margaret
iiington will make her re-appearance
In washington at the Belasco this week,
after an absence of five years. is one
or the dramas that will be talked about
Tor some time. Firmly grasplng his
prush. the author has thrown his heart
ana soul In painting a vivid picture Of
conditions that confront people In the
thickly populated East Side of New
YORK, or in fact in any large city. He
mas backed II up with knowledge, un-
usual skill. and faultless technique: and
mas succeeded In creating wonderful
stage counterpart, an interesting side
OF modern civilization.
The story of the play briefly is this:
Heinie Schultz, an honest. hardworiiing
stevedore and his wife, Maggie. married
but few months. live in a couple of
rooms in the crowded tenement district.
Heinie and his wife have been told that
1t is a crime to bring children into the
world In the environment In which they
are living. The warning comes too late
to Maggie, who is afraid to tell her hus-
band for the reason that he has already
expressed his opinions regarding these
conditions.
Uneuucated but Intelligent, and quad
ed only by her womans Instinct, Maggie
schultz determines that by hook or
crook the prospective baby shall have
some of the comforts to which 1t is ell
titled. Schultz Is out on a strike and
Maggie is given employment in a
wealthy home on Fifth avenue. Maggie
goes to work but she Is inveigled into
plot to rob the house by Steve Bates.

he can get her one hundred dollars
easy money" IL she will just give him
the layout of the home. The house Is
robbed, and only by IA lucky turn of for
tunes wheel that comes once in a mill
lion times. she is saved from going to
prison.
AS Maggie, Miss Ellington Is said to be
doing the best work of her career. She
is ably supported by the following play
crs: Byron Beasley. Frank Camp. Ida
Lewis. Florence Robinson. sydney Mar

and Thomas Evans.
The newly organized branch of the

Endorsed "ltindling." will attend the
opening performance on Monday night.
Tuesday evening election returns will be

GYPSY LOVE-" WITH
TUNEFUL LYRICS, IS
NATIONAL PLAY
California Prima Donna and
Russian Tenor Garry Prin-
cipal Roles of Opera.

East and West are united in carry ing
production Of Gypsy Love- which is
the attraction at the National Theater
this week. Phyiiss Darlington, the
California prima donna. and Arthur
Albro. Russian tenor. two singers from
opposite sides of the world. are cast for
the stellar roles Of this dainty and
tuneful opera, which deals with the
nomads of Europe. and affords an op-
portunity for scenery and costuming of
unusual splendor.
These principals are supported by
Leola Lucey, a clever comediennc OF the
new type, and Mona Desmond, SOU
brcttc, as well as by Mona Mali. Philip
Branson. Harry Hermsen, Charles Full
ton. and Raymond Crane. There Is Il
fun chorus of sixty. and special or
chestra to bring out the effects OF the
Lehar music.
In the opera Zerika Is infatuated with
the nomadic life. although she Is be-
trothed to FEEDER, a nobleman. His
half brother, JOSH. gypsy musician.
persuades Zerika to elope with him on
the eve of her wedding. but a draught
of a magic spring sends her into Il
deep sleep in which she dreams of the
position she would occupy after two or
three years of life with the gypsies,
with her lover grown cold and she her.
self an outcast from her family.
So, In spite OF the pleadings of Joszl
Zerika, on her awakening, turns from
him to the arms of her betrothed.
IL is sufficient plot for an opera, espe-
cialy when told in the tuneful music OF
Lehar.
