UNIVERSITY ACTORS
PLAY FOR CHARITY.
SCORING GREAT HIT
Theater Crowded at Benefit
Performances for Christ
Child Society.

1t was Standing Room Only" yester-
day afternoon long before o'clock in
the Columbia Theater, when the annual
play of the Georgetown University Dra-
matte Association was given for the
benefit of the Christ Child Society. The
lobby was filled with pretty girls, SELL
ing flowers, CONNECTIONS, and programs,
the proceeds of which also went to the
| same beneficiary. There were two plays
the first, THE Dream of Gerontius,"
being a dramatic adaptation of the ora
| torio of the same name. Roscoe Ridge
way, as Gerontius, gave mastery
presentation of this character. He pos
| sesses dramatic talent of no mean or
der. Paul McQuillen as Lorenzo, David
WaldTon as the Guardian Spirit, and
Eugene Carr as the Priest were excel;
| lent in minor parts. The incidental
music for this play was contributed by
st. Pauls Sanctuary Choir.
The second part included "On Trip
For His Health" comedy drama, In
which life in this country and the
Philippines was represented. The pic
turesuue surroundings, the light and
culcr Of the Stands, the singing of the
birds: tte waving flags, all contributed
delightful atmosphere to the play.

Ing the past four weeks, have given
enthusiastic expression to their delight
at the lfellke reproductions Of animat-
I'd life which f. M. Newman is inject
ing Into his 'Traveltalks" at the CO.
lurnbia Theater, 1t Ia doubtful, II one
of them realizes the difficulties which
beset this brilliant entertainer in obtain
ing even some of his minor offerings.
The work really begins months before
he leaves the United States. The State
Department is importuned for special
letters of introduction, supplementing
the usual passports, and in many in
stances representatives of the govern
ments OF the countries he is to visit are
induced to make such representations to
the home offices as will insure for the
traveller access to places and persons
which are closed to the general run of
the public.
Never before have travel lectures been
80 popular as at the present time. But
never before have the difficulties been
so great or the equipment so expensive
as now. Mr.. Newman carried with him
On every journey as a regular part of
his Photographic equipment, two mo-
ton picture machines, three miles of
motion picture film, a reflex and STAN
dard camera, a camera with a shutter
which can be adjusted to work at a
thousandth part of q second, various
telephoto and other lenses and plates
for each camera. During his trip
through Africa a few years ago, 1t was
necessary for him to carry, in addition,
a portable outfit for developing motion
picture films, bringing the weight of his
IN Nnto % do
During his 1,200-mile march through
British East Africa, and Uganda, he
had a caravan of eighty natives, be-
sides an assistant and guide.
Last summer while securing material
for his traveltalks for this season, he
motored more than 5000 miles in addi-
ticn to the many journeys by rail and
| water which were necessary.
Delays through train wrecks, storms
at sea, and other misfortunes, are part
of the business, and the traveller soon
| becomes accustomed to them, inconve-
nient as they are, when one has but a
short time to secure enough material
for lectures.
The longest water trip ever taken by
Mr.. Newman was from Australia TO
Japan, which took thirty-two days. His
entire outfit and personal luggage was
burned in the fire which destroyed the
French ship Tonquin at Yokahoma sew
| eral years ago. But the most serious
trouble he got into was being arrested
by the Russians at Port Arthur, JUST
before the Russo-Japanese war. He was

was released only when IL was found

A Democratic
Appointment

THE action taken by Lieutenant

ccsSOr to the late Cleveland Baker
To III the office OF Acknowledgement
of this State, was undoubtedly one
OF wisdom. Had Governor Oddie
been here the matter would have
been put OF the hands OF the Demo
Gratis and the appointment would
have fallen to Governor eddie. His
III luck followed him. and he was
forced to forcgo the appointing OF
an official that would have upset all
Democratic political calculations.
That was Oddic's misfortune.
Upon the death of Mr.. Baker It
left an open breach in Democratic
ranks that exposed the cntire ma
chiucry to the political enemy. rs
Mr.. Baker had been elected by the
Democratic party. and had acted in
their council, had made good in his
office. it was but natual that the fol
lowers Of the clan were anxious that
another Democrat take up his work,
thus assuring the same policies that
have been mapped. Governor Cd
dies absence from the state made
this possible. Many Republicans
openly declare that Ross took the
