Bayard Veiller's intensely exciting
new human interest drama, Within

sation of New York, London and Mel

cities this remarkable stage narrative
| has been delighting large audiences for
many months because Of its almost ir-
resistible appeal.
Particularly notable for its moral
standard as compared with other crime
plays of recent years is "Within the

| advise its audience to get out and steal
| because the police are asleep or suggest
that safe-opening is worthy occupa-

the Law just points. with grim humor
to the technical phases Of the statute
books that hamper justice and allow
moral eyasions of statutory codes that
are not legal offenses.

unusually interesting play, has con-

important matters engaging the

Young America Up and Doing


Young America is more for
ward than was his forefathers.
He is more aggressive and more
daring than his forebears.
Take the case of Jimmie
Cornwall. Jimmie lives near
Hartford. Last week he read
about George Washington and
the cherry tree, secured a
hatchet and went out to seek
fame. He tackled a pine tree
he said he thought it was a
cherry tree-and felled it. Fall
ing, the tree took with it tele-
phone, telegraph and feed
wires, cutting off lighting, rapid
transit and wire communication
with Plantsville, Terryville and
Plymouth for day or so. Then
he lied about his act and his
mother spanked him well. Now
he threatens reprisals.
And Elmer Nelson, 6 years of
ago, who lives in New York.
Elmer rushed into the West
l52d street police station the
other day and demanded "a
cop" What for?" he was ask
ed. Let the cop come to my
house, and quick, and will
show him" Policeman William
Stone was sent with the lad,
who conducted the officer to his
home. There he pointed out his
father to the policeman and de-
manded: He licked me; arrest
him."
1t is true. His father, Olsen
Nelson, had found his son pry-
ing the works out of his watch
earlier in the evening. The
father said he had punished the
boy, after which the child dis
appeared.
AS the policeman left the
house, he heard sounds which
led him to believe that Mr.. Mel
son was giving his son further
cause for complaint.-Augusta
Chronicle.
