AT THE THEATERS
SHEA INTeReRErs WELL

THE GREWSomE Mr.. HYDE
Thomas f. shea's Interpretation Of the
part Of Mr. Hyde, in Steyensons story of
psychic influence, leaves one with a shud-
deringly bad impression OF the maleVoent
character. Mr.. Shea acts the dual parts
as striking contrasts, which leaves a lin
gering pity for DR. Jekyll while Hyde is
eXecrated.
Students Of psychology will do well to
see the play, and learn Mr.. Shea views
through his acting Others not students
VIII not spend "a bad two hours watching
him. That Robert Louis Stevenson put
the same Interpretation on his own work
as Mr.. Shea is beside the question. That
Mr. Shea's Interpretation is interesting
ana instructive any student must admit.
The mechanical and histrionic excellence
OF Mr.. Shea and his company may not
be questioned and that the star under
stands theatres accentuates his work
DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" is well worth
the seeing.
It would not be amiss to mention also
the most excellent character work Of Jack
Amory, as William Poole, DR. Jekyll' s
servant. His work Monday night as Ben
jamin Clark's father drew for him well
earned applause. This was repeated last
night, and was deserved.
Tonight Mr. Shea win present THE

which he has quite a reputation as Ma

Mr.. Shea's present engagement is his

Baseball is a sport which so entirely holds the interest of every social class and the following gossip in a society peri odical about the president of the Amer ican league and his stand in the recent baseball difficulties seems timely:
 As baseball is the acknowledged national game, the man who is in control of its ma chinery is power just now with whom to be reckoned. President Byron Ban croft Johnson of the American league has done the sport a great service by his stand in the recent threatened strike of the De- troit Tigers. He has determined to keep baseball free from rowdyism and to make is clear that no prestige of any player and no creditable record of service can ex- terminate lawlessness and thwart punish- ment. The circumstances have filled col- umns of the daily newspapers and have commanded the same headlines as the ac
 counts of the political battle between President Taft and former President Roosevelt. MT. Tyrus Raymond Cobb, a fiery player from Georgia, and the popular star outfielder of the Detroit Tigers, was much chafed and offended at game in New York by the free and vituperatIve criticisms of a spectator; so he aban- doned his post and proceeded to give the Offender severe aF1ibhiNgs + sars stAas,. he was suspended and his organization, with the sympathetic assistance of others, threatened to strike and to go out to form another association. Baseball is now a business and MT. Bancroft Johnson IS a man of tact, education and shrewdness. He is a representative of his class, a clean, expansive, large man with jolly laugh. If he had not been a baseball magnate he would have been Q lawyer or a banker or even a clergyman. However, he intends toi keep baseball on high level and he is succeeding. The American league was established by him out of chaotic conditions and he became a strong factor in the national game when 1t was torn by internal dissensions and in peril Of bankruptcy and complete annihilation, In recent article, in baseball publica- ton, President Johnson states that the issues on which the American league made and won it's fight for recognition as the peer of the National league were cleanly played, closely contested games, between high class teams, a square deal for play CTS and patrons and a betterment of con ditions in the minor leagues. Ihis ex- pression shows the character of the man.
