FRITZ Scheff

FRITZ Seheff appeared at the jefferson
theater last night in "The Love Wager
an operetta fashioned after the Viennese
school, with picturesque Hungarian
setting. Miss Scheff had a highly con-
genial part and one in which her hoyd-
enish, and at times impsh spirit, was
given scope to reach ite topmost bent.
She was thoroughly entertaining as a
little madcap and in the various phases
of her growing up" lost none OF her
charm. As a comedienne Miss scheff is
delightful and her exquisite voice has
long made her in truth what the press
agents claim her to be, the Queen of
Light Opera" If Miss Scheff was seen
to exceptional advantage last night. her
audience was also in a most responsive
mood and she was given a cordial re-
ception which neeessitated numerous
Characteristic responses to curtain calls.
"The Love Wager contains several
l1auntingly beautiful airs, chiefly waltz
numbers and the music throughout the
piece has tuneful Tilt that is very
pleasing. While not exceptionally bril-
liant the score is at all times melodious
and on occasion has a seductive charm

usual Nerve and bfilliancy.

Membership of 560Miss Sandn's Methods Advantages
Offered to Young Women for Physical Recreation

-Four years ago the physical depart

was started. The total enrolment of
the first year was 96. OF the close of
1912 there was an enthusiastic men,
hership of $50, including business wom-
en-, matrons and women of leisure.
Miss Edna Cowles sandlin, who is d.
rector of the physical department, Is
an Alabama girl who has received her
training for this work in Harvard and
In Columbia universities. She was a
member OF choir in Birmingham and
fully expected to have musical ca
reer when Mrs Mabelle Sloss Cecil,
general secretary of the Y. W. c. "A,
induced her to attend a summer Y. W.
c. A. conference with her at Lake Ge-
neva, Wis. Association work had never
entered her mind, but at this confer
ence she heard DR.. Anna Brown, the
we'll known specialist at the head of
the physical department of the nation
al board, speak so interestingly on
physical training in association work,
its place and value and the great need
of women today for this training that
she became enthused and decided to

sheer everflowing enthusiasm, sprang
to her feet and took the floor, speak
ing from her own heart on this work
and her decision to do it. She then
began her preparation, and when the
physical department was opened she
was asked to come as director.
The present equipment of the de-
partment consists of ropes and rings,
Swedish ladder, dumbells, balls clubs,
wands, etc, and a swimming polo. Miss
Sandlin now has classes for children,
business women and women of leisure,
classes being given mornings, after
moons and evenings, making IA classes
week.
Last year she had a class for the
teachers who trained the children for
the May Day festival, and she was
one of the directors of the May fes-
tival given by the Central high school.
One business woman says she be-
lieyes she gets more for her money in
the physical department than in any
thing else she has ever been in. Miss
sandlin says the physical department
is the place where people come to roll
their cares away; that their whole
mental attitude is changed by the play
spirit that permeates the whole work
as well as their physical being benz
