BE ERKELEY HARb0R
PLAN IS PUSHED

On resolution introduced by Mayor
Haywood the city council of Berke-
ley has directed City Engineer Jessup
to prepare plans for improvement Of
the Berkeley water front and the
reclamation of large area of land
lying between the shore and the new
buIkhead line established by the board
of army engineers.
The mayor estimates that for $780,
600 the city can build a rock .seawau
along the bulkhead line abutting on
the north upon the proposed naval
base described by Captain Pond, and
can reclaim the inclosed land for fac.
tory uses.
The scheme. he asserted. will con-
form to Colonel Rees' general harbor
development plan. He would have
the present municipal wharf contin-
ued with solid fill 2,200 feet beyond
its present end. to the new bulkhead
line. Then he would have a rock wall
one mile long built at right angles to
the north.
Mayor Haywood favors a bond cleo
tion on the proposition within 80
days.

That most brilliant and merciless

rick theater, by Mrs. Leslie Carter
and her excellent company. This
play was first made known TO the
stage more than dozen years ago
by Sir John Hare, who presented II
In London and then used II on q tour
OF the United States.
The play attracted more than usual
attention in its early days, not only
because il came from the pen Of the
expert Pinero, and was daring ar
raignment Of conditions and char
acters not in that day commonly
talked about in polite society, but,
because it was the sort Of thing that
Sir John Hare had never before been
identified with in the whole Of his
stage career The actor who gave
"A Pair Of Spectacles." to the play
going world was the last person that
the world expected to see in such a
character as the gay Lord Quex. The
play does not seem half so shocking
and SO bald as II did dozen years
ago. probably because the last decade
has been a period Of "eye-openers. :"

his mettle during the current engage
ment as Lord Quex. Both gave fine
performances OF these characters.
