THE PLAYHOUSE "BIIL.n
Warrington Dramatic Club Seen in
Clever sketches.

At the Playhouse last evening the
young idea" was given the opportunity
II craved. Young folks held the foot
lights and acquitted themselves SO well
that doubtless, it will not be long be-
fore they are given another chance.
Certainly the bright spirits of the Wash
lngton Dramatic Club should appear in
public and exhibit their creative and
mimetic talents as often as the spirit
moves them.
The Case of Roderick Howard" writ
ten by Robert Bell, had an interesting
story to tell and fresh acting of young
tolks-not one Of whom was more than
twenty years old-to give it charm
Master Bell himself played the title role
and was assisted by Miss Caroline Og-
den-Jones, Miss Lucy Howard, Alfred
Harding, and Howard CARRIER.
The second playlet of the evening was
The Matrimonial Agency" written by
Charlotte E. Moreland. and acted by
some extremely clever young folks, in
,luding Frances Moore. as Diana Pop
pincourt; Richard Chew, as Ponsonby
Funkleton, and others Both playlets
we're produced under the personal di-
rection of Preston Gibson, and were
reeted with pleasurable enthusiasm by
typical Playhouse audience.

proposes to thoroughly sift the question
Of the Identity of Shakespeare and his
appearance. and TO deal a death blow to
the authenticity of many portraits hith-

There is really no reason why Shake
speare's body should not be exhumed,"
says Mr.. Spielman, except for the So
called curse In the Inscription over the
grave, which says cursed be he that
moves my bones
This curse has kept Shakespeare out

been 3uggested that to evade 1t women
might be employed in the exhumation.

WILSON IS INFORMAL.

On Board Wilson Special Car Mag
net" Leaving Minnesota En- Route
to Chicago, Sept. 19.-One of the
things about his campaign trip which
Governor Woodrow Wilson enjoys as
much as any other is his informal
meals on his special car with the
newspaper men who accompany him
and with such local committees as
hoard his train from time to time.
The Wilson party is little large
for the car, so when they sit down
to meals, somebody has to occupy the
upholstered bench which runs across
one end of the combination obserya-
ton parlor and dining room. Early
in the game the governor pre-empted
this seat, insisting that the rest OF
the gentlemen had to work harder
than he did and were entitled to reg
ular chairs. In order to bring the
governors arms up to comfortable
eating position, the porter has pro-
t1Q6u Hill VIII dill OLLOmdQ. AS the
bench has springs in it, this causes
the candidate to bounce up and down
in lively fashion and keep a close
eye on his equilibrium In spite of
repeated requests that he take a
chair. however. he declined to do SO,
and seems to enjoy the balancing
contest three times a day.
The meals also give him an oppor-
tunity to indulge in storytelling,
which he enjoys, and there isn't
meal that he doesn't tell one or more
and laugh with the corresponds
who also contribute their share As
he sat bouncing up and down at
breakfast this morning, Governor
Wilson told good one about his
father, who is frequent subject of
his tales.

Andrew Johnson believes that he
will be elected sheriff. The official
returns on thirty-nine out of the six
ty eight precincts give Hazen plur-
atty of forty-two votes. Mr.. John

turns from Shotley and Island Lake
that cut this lead to twenty-one. ~

lead of George French over his op-
