commencing with a matinee Sunday.
There are seven acts to the COM
plete production and every one of them
will be given. The scenery and eff
fleets will be faithfully presented
There are thousands of playgoers both
old and young who would rather see
The Two Orphans" than any other
play. Mr. Peruchi desires to assure
all the patrons that the story will be
given in its entirety and the staging
will be up TO the standard he has set
high, early in the season.
1t is not necessary at this time 10
dwell on the plot that centers around
two girls who come to Paris alone:
one of them is blind. She is beautiful
and sings well. An old bag and her
villain son determine to make use of
her talents to fill their Golfers. The
other sister loses the unfortunate one
and the author keeps up the interest
until the final curtain.
Every member of the excellent COM
pany will be cast to advantage and the
presentation will doubtless set the
pace for attendance during the sea-
son.
There are three more nights and
two matinees in which to see the stir
ring comedy drama Checkers" 1t
brings back the memory of racing
days and there are many of the ia
miliar characters to be seen in the
play.
One of the company that deserves
special mention is the very popular
soubrette and ingenue leading lady,
Mable Gypzene, who is portraying an
intensely amusing Sis Hopkins char
acter extremely well.
Seats are now on sale for The Two
Orphans" and it will be a show we'll
worth seeing. There will be a great
demand and reservations should be
made early.

TULANE THEATRE.

william Hodge will be seen at the
r,,ane Theatre next week in The
Non From Home" the play by Booth
harrington and Harry Leon Wilson,
., which he has been "piling up" rec
ord runs during the past five years.
Few dramas in these days of rapid-fire
rroducing stand the test Of more than
,wo or three seasons of popularity.
put "The Man From Home" goes pla-
cidIy along with no sign of lessening
interest on the part of the public. 1t
has been said of it that it possesses
literary force; that it has fine moral
courteously pointed; that it is rich in
bumor and delightful in satire. What
over else il may be, it is American to
tho core and has a distinct measure of
appeal to every American theatre
goer.
The central character in The Man
From Home" is an elongated Indiana
LAWYER. Kokomo is his home and
Daniel Voorhees, Pike his patronymic.
He is a kindly, droll, shrewd and I'M
assuming old bachelor ambling
through life at a lazy gait, but not
without purpose. He has sense and
character, understands human nature
in whatever guise it may appear, res
pects the best of it and lets the worst
Of it trouble him little. He is the
guardian of two young people, Horace
and Ethel Granger-Simpson, who have
spent the greater number of their
years abroad, where they have become
saturated with the European idea and
have grown ashamed of their own
country. pike goes to Sorrento, Italy,
the scene of the entire play, to pre-
vent the marriage of his ward to the
hare-brained son of an English peer.
There he becomes involved in a situa-
ton upon which the real action of the
play hinges.
William Hodge will again be seen in
the role of Daniel Voorhees, Pike, the
Indiana lawyer, who smashes into the
history of Greasy and Agincourt. The
supporting company includes Ger
trude Hitz, Leonora Won Ottinger, Ida
Vernon, Harold Russell, Charles Wei.

PETERBOROUGH WALLINGFoRD."

The tremendous vogue that has been
attained by Geo. NJ. Cohan's comedy,
"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, is dis
tinct compliment to the genius of that
prolific playwright whose pen has been
successfully welded many times in
the past.
Prototypes of Wallingford, the
shrewd financial conspirator of the
comedy classic, are to be found in
countless numbers, but to vitalize and
visualize the type as the author has
done, to present him in a way that
awakens the sympathy and compels
the love of an audience which though
realizing that he is no more nor less
than commercial buccaneer, are still
In accord with his get-rich-quick
schemes, is piece of stagecraft equal
led by few playwrights of modern
times.
"Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford" will
be presented in this city at the Tu-
lane for the week of Nov. 18th. 1t
comes here after having made record
runs In New York city and Chicago,
and will be given with a capable cast
OF principals. No play produced in
recent seasons has received the stamp
OF unqualified public approval with the
convincing certainty that is evidenced

n New York and Chicago, will be pre-
scented for a week at the Crescent
Theatre, commencing Sunday night
The action of the play starts in the
railroad depot at Grand Crossing just
before noon on Christmas Day. The
villagers waiting for their trains; the
impertinent baggageman; the gossipy
widow, and the pretty ticket agent,
Beth Elliott, and the irrepressible
drummer, Bob Blake, are introduced
and the weaving of the plot is begun.
The acquaintance of Bob Blake and
Beth Elliott ripens rapidly and Beth
invites the salesman to share her
meagre Christmas lunch. After that
their friendship is sealed.
Beth Is the owner of a worthless
section of land which is to be sold for
unpaid taxes. The girl is unaware
that the railroad is going to build a
spur there and that her land will be
needed for that purpose. Blake's en-
ployer is cognizant of the improve
ments soon to be made on the land
and decides to secure it by unfair
means. Blake learns of this and at
tempts to Illustrate the scheme, and
the predicaments in which he finds
himself through his misguided efforts
supply the necessary thread of dram
attic comedy.
The story is revealed by widely con-
trasting types of villagers and drum
mers, and without doubt "The Travel
ing Salesman" embodies more laughs
than any other play seen in years, and
to the jaded theatre-goer, tired Of dry

sex, the advent of James Forbes COM
edy success in this city should be
awaited with interest.

REGISTRATION ON

LARGEST NUMBER ON RECORD
APPLY FOR ADMISSION ON
FIRST DAY.

For the purpose of registering and
classifying students applying for ad-
mission to the Arkansas State Nor
NAL, faculty committees have been
hard at work throughout today and
there are still a large number in the
city who have not yet been reached.
President J. j Doyne was unable to
give the figures on the enrolment this
afternoon, further than to say that
the first days registration will large
iy exceed that of the first day of any
previous session.
The registration work will be con-
tinued tomorrow and the regular
classwork of the fifth annual session
will be begun Wednesday morning.
There will be no formal opening eX-
ercses, the session beginning with
the usual morning chapel service.
A strong feature of this session at
the Normal Will be the domestic
science department, the first work in
which will be given during the ensu-
ing school year. The addition of this
to the curriculum. ii is
believed, has had much to do with the

GRANTS AID TO
STATION FORCE

In response to a petition forward
ed by local shippers to the Arkansas
Railroad Commission some time since,
in which it was declared that the
force Of men at the depot at Conway
was insufficient to handle the volume
of freight, Division superintendent C..
B. Wildman came here this morning
and held conference with several Of
the business men at the Board Of
Trade rooms. Mr.. Wildman readily
consented to remedy the situation at
the depot, and stated that two addi-
tional men would be added to the
force at once.
The time-honortd new depot propo-
sition was incidentally mentioned ii
the meeting. Referring to the loca-
ton of the freight depot, however,
Mr.. Wildman said the company had
changed its ideas as to the location
west of the Catholic church property,
which was at one time accepted by
General Manager A. w. Sullivan.
Supt. Wildman said he thought any
location of the freight depot and
yards other than on the public square
would be unsatisfactory to the com
pany.

TO WATER CONSUMERS.

Notice is hereby given that after
October no water will be supplied to
consumers who are not provided with
meters, except that consumers having
one tap within their houses and using
the water only for domestic purposes
will be continued on the flat rate.
This regulation is in compliance with
the city ordinance governing the CON
sumption of water and will have to be
complied with when the plant is oper-
ated by the city. All consumers, eX-
cept as stated above, are therefore no
titled to install meters on or before
October l, , or their service will be dis
continued.

by Congressman H. NJ. Jacoway at
the Grand tonight is being made by
the local Wilson Marshall Democratic
club, under whose auspices the ad-
dress will be delivered. The ladies
have not heretofore been guests at the
meetings of the club, but on account
of the well-known oratorical ability
of the speaker and the beautiful audi
torium in which the meeting will be
held, it was thought an opportune
time to endeavor to enlist the interest
of the fair sex in the purposes of the
club. Music by the Grand orchestra
will also be an attractive feature of
the meeting,
Congressman Jaeoway phoned from
Dardanele this morning that he
would arrive on the train reaching
here at 6:20 this evening. His ad-
dress will begin promptly at o'clock.

THE VETO POWER.

Editor The Georgian:
From historic instances we are
forced to conclude that the veto
power should be exercised with
great care. Our present governor
has explained very clearly, fully
and forcibly his view of the only
circumstances under which an ex-
ecutive should exercise the pardon,
and there is little doubt that his
conception is clear as to when he
would be justified in exercising the
veto. 1t is inconceivable that he
would feel justified in vetoing
measure passed so deliberately by
the legislature as was the Tippins-
Alexander bill. and with such de-
cided majority in both houses.
The governor knows full Wen
that the people can not hold him
personally responsible for the de-
liberate acts Of the legislature. and
that it IS simply a duty for him
to put his approval on them. Just
as the approval of the whole Iegis-
ldlule SOSS WITH WHAT the legal
majority finally agrees to. OF
course, the governor does not per-
sonally agree, in many cases. with
the views of the majority-many of
us do not-but we have before
hand agreed to act with the legal
majority. and after the vote is
taken if we act in good faith. all
then become of one mind, and in
dividual differences are lost sight
of.
There should be a clear cut idea
in the minds of the people as to
the conditions under which the veto
and pardon powers should be exer-
cised. JOS. S. COOK.
