THE SITUATION AT HUNTINGTON
THE WATER Is FALLING AND THE
WORK OF STREET CLEANING HAS
BEGUN.
(BY ASSOCIATED PEEss.l

HUNTINGTON, April 1.-The water
was receding rapidly here today and
before nlghtfall 1t was thought all the
streets would be cleared. The work
OF cleaning was taken up this morning
and every precaution is being institut'
ed to prevent an apidemic. Search, SO
far, has failed to reveal the bodies of
those supposed to have been drowned.
It was found today that nearly 100
houses had been swept away. There
is plenty of food here and the $4,000
homeless who are housed in churches,
schoolhouses and other public build
ings are being well taken care of.
A startling report was received here
this morning from Catlettsburg, Ky,
toFthC effect that the town had been
practically wiped out and many per-
sons drowned. Most Of the residents
rushed 10 the hills when the warning
was given and have been sleeping In
the open for several days. The re.
port was not confirmed, bit 100 tents
we're hurriedly sent from here TO
Catlettsburg.

LOUIS MANN IN "ELEVATING A

One OF the foremost actors on the
Stage. Fresh from run OF six months
in New York and two most successful
months in Chicago, Louis Mann is 20
he seen at the Grand next week in
"Elevating a Husband" the new Lra.
matte comedy by Clara Lipman and
Samuel Shipman IN which this diStin-
gushed actor is credited with having
scored one OF the most decided sue.
cesses of his notable career. Opening
originally at the Liberty ThGater in
New York. Mr. Mann played in sue.
cession the Gawick, the Criterion (For
two engagements) and the Grand Ope-
ra House. 1t would be interesting 10
compute the hundreds of thousands of
people in New York alone who enjoyed
Mr.. Mann's performance during these
lengthy runs.
Louis Mann's popularity as an actor
does not consist solely in his power to
make an audience laugh. He has the
rare gift of being able to mingle tears
with merriment, one moment cOnvuls-
ing his audience with laughter and the
next, by a marvellous Transition of
voice and facial expression. bringing
the heart into the throat. No play that
he has had in recent years has afford
ed him such splendid opportunity to
display these powers as "Elevating a
Husband" One of the best comments
OIL the performance is that ut makes
you laugh but it also makes you think
Mr.. Mann's role is that of young
tyGcent-store merchant who falls in
love after successfully reaching an
affuent position in business. He Is a
bit unpublished however and the young
woman whom he marries determines
10 "clevai2" him. The humor of the
play rs well as hle heart interest de.
velUps from the ensuing complications.
Mr.. Mann is supported by the same
splendid company seen with him in
New York headed by Emily Ann Well
man. The play is in four acts. two
of which take place in The interesting,
lrdicrous bearing house occupied by
the young merchant before his rise 70

home occupied by the young couple
