ShrevepOrter who will lead cast
of twenty-six in THE Deestrick

then he has made several appear

His phraseology in the 'Hiawath a

he will do his best in this play.
He reads his lines with much eX-
preston and knows how to come on
and go off the stage.
When he was asked about the
play he replied: Il am not lover OF
farce comedy, and this play is one
iof that class. | can and will do 4
Ipart justice in a light drama, but
IcGmedy doesn't strike me little bit

to do my best for you in the role OF

If given a chance he would some
day hit Broadway in something
promising.
He is supported by a cast of TWEEN
lty-five, which is composed Of some
lawful good talent.

This editor, who IS likewise Yale institution, feels worse over Mory's fate than even the lachry- nose scribe above quoted. He views with sincere regret" the passing of 'one of the best landmarks of the new and old Yale" Yet the old classic, time.honored and weather beaten Alumni Hall was levelled to make way for a student lodging house and not a tear was shed for it's demise. It cannot be the memory of those MOry musty ales and golden bucks, that so stirs the Yale spirit to revolt and rhapsodaisical reverie, for Phil cares naught for either. Besides, those dainties flourish just as enticingly at Henry Kretz's cosy corner in Gregson Alley as they ever did at Mory's, and Henry's smile is just as winning and welcoming as Louis. They why so much weeping and vail ing?

The Change in Mir. Morgan.

A French reporter is usually a person. age in a top hat and frock coat who writes prose poems, fights duels and maintains lofty disregard for mere news. However, the achievement of the Temps in interviewing Mir. J. P. Morgan will be accepted by many as evidence that the newspaper population of France is not confined entirely to mere journalists. MT. Morgan has been, perhaps, foremost amongst Americans in his distance for the interviewer Certainly he has been foremost in abil- ity to avoid or suppress him. Park Row has long regarded MT. Morgan as practi- cally impregnable.
 Once reporter for MT. Pulitzer $ paper hit upon the brilliant plan of i'm pressing with his irresistibility the ire sistible 6nancier. He forced his way past all the guardians into the very presence.
 "How did you get in?" demanded MT. Morgan.
 II walked in, " said the audacious one.
 "Then walk out, snapped MT. Nor gan. It seemed the part of wisdom to do so and do so promptly. The desired interview was never obtained. Again one of MT. Hearst's most brilliant young men rang the bell of MT. Morgan s house. A servant promptly informed him that the great man was not in. The reporter saw MT. Morgan's coupe standing before the dwelling. He took 8 seat on the curb. Presently MT. Nor gan descended the steps.
 MT. Morgan" began MT. Hearsts young man.
 Didn't my butler tell you I was not 1n?" interrupted MT. Morgan.
 "He did," agreed the reporter, "but you want to fire that butler. He's a liar"
 Mr. Morgan stopped in astonishment.
 Gall at my office at o'clock" he commanded, land suggest any other changes you have in mind for my domestic establishment.
 This resulted in a typewritten state ment at the stated hour, but not in an interview The greatest minds which gather in the early hours at Coffee House Johns have matched themselves against the Morgan inflexibility in vain. City editors have passed out Morgan in terv1ew assignments only to undesirable citizens or, in blithe spirit of jest, to unchastened cubs. MT. Morgan has re- mained an untaken citadel.
 Yet at Aix-les- Rains MT. Morgan seems to have yielded with scarcely a show of resistance. He talks to the French reporter with apparent fullness and freedom. He shows himself in a new light. He speaks, not as an inex- orable master, but with sort of wearied philosophy. He gives $4O,OOO for a charitable structure.
 Build it quickly" he says, ''I am old and want to see it."
 Which makes us realize that. strange ly enough, MT. Morgan is old, that the years have wormed their insidious way within his mighty fabric exactly as they have with the rest of us. Perhaps 1t explains why he has ceased to resist re- porters why he talks with the feeblest of their ind.-Hartford Times.
