Carter and company in Pinero's play

Thirty-ninth Street Theatre last night
Throughout the four acts Of this well
known drama the opportunities for an
emotional actress 70 draw tears from her
audience are decidedly numerous Mrs.
Carter took advantage OF most OF them.
Il was a gloomy night without. and there
were times within when it might have
been a relief IL Mrs Carriers acting had
been less realistic. But that was not the
object OF Mr.. Pinero.
Mrs. Carter's gowns were most artistic,
especially in the last act, and she wore
them in her Justly celebrated and iniml-
table way. Her appeal in the second act
for the love Of her stepdaughter Ellean
was peculiarly effective.
The Aubrey Tanqueray OF Brandon
Hurst was sympathetically rortrayed.
The first year of his married I've was a
hard one. Norman Tharp, as Cayiey
Drummle. received the first applause OF

always had something pleasant to say
and was almost alone in that regard.

Democratic Leader Talks to the

commencement calendar of the Uni

fness meeting of the General Alumni
Association took place at 10 o'clock,
with Representative Oscar W. Under

was "The College Man and the

1t was 2 o'cock when the alumni
gathered around the banquet board in
the commons with Representative I'm
lderwood at the head of the table. He
came to Charlottesville, both to dis
charge his duty as president of the
General Alumni Association and to
witness the graduation Of his son,
Oscar W., Jr., as bachelor of law. Mr..
Underwood bore a message of hope
and cheer He warned the alumni
that the man who is lost in the maze
of his own business and has neither

with perils. From the heights he can
see that the line Of march leads to the
advancement of mankind and to the

when it was thought that constitu-
htion could not be changed except upon
the urging of war conditions, and yet
two amendments have become effect

the political machinery of the govern

cal policy of the nation.
These changes in the Constitution
would have been considered very rad

practically no dissent. "No man, said
