and has cost s2q, 900, OF which $4,000
was expended for excavating. Leo
Taylor. of Norfolk, drew the plans,
and Is prominent alumnus of the IN
stitution. The immense stand was
built in three sections, one of which
was completed each year. The en-
tire seating capacity is 400. and Il
will be formally dedicated November
1st, at the classic or Southern FOOT
ball contests. when Vanderbilt comes
to Charlottesville.
Leading from the main highway to
the athletic field is bitulthic paved

NASHVILLE, TENN, Oct. a.
The steady downpour of rain for the
past two days. accompanied by the
sudden big drop In temperature made
Dudley field a veritable sea OF frozen
mud. and Coach McGugin was forced
to put the Commodores through a
workout on the campus. The bitterly
cold rain finally drove the men from
there to the gymnasium. where an
hour was devoted to signal drill and
instruction in new formations.
Particular attention vas paid to

against Henderson was so impressive,

Lowe and Putnam, the guards, also
came IN for a stiff lecture. and fnstruc-
ton for their work Saturday was ex-
tremely disappointing. particularly
when the Commodore backs were
charging the line.
A holiday was granted to several

they were subjected by the fierce Hen

Charming Stage Pictures In "Littie

Tube skirts and Balkan biouSes
would have been real curioslties in the
days of Little Women" SO quaint and
simple were the feminine fashions of
that period. This same simplicity of
character and ideals were woven by
Louisa NJ Aicott into her immortal
story, the result being popularity that
has never waned in the forty three
years that 1t has beeh in the hands of
the reading public.
It has been the purpose of all who
have had to do with the staging of
William A. Brady's production of Lit

period. and how we'll they have sue

that critics OF all classes who saw the

FROM THE VIEWPOINT
OF THE PRESS AGENT
HENRIETTA CROSMAN
AT ACADEMY TONIGHT

Henrietta Crosmans new play The
Tongues of Men, written by Edward
Childs Carpenter. which she brings
to the Academy tonight and tomorrow
matinee and night. has been acknowl-
edged the play of the hour where it
has already been seen. 1t was
brought to view at the psychological
moment when all theaterdom was
ringing with approval at the closing
of the two plays in New York-"The
Lure" and 1.-The Fight'--rightly closed
by municipal authority on the ground
of immortality.
For some time there has been a
leaning toward plays of this sort: at
least of questionable morality The
climax was reached when the two
mentioned were made to close their
doors. Now comes this remarkable
play with its vital lesson of truth and
charity, its theme based on st, PauPs
Epistle to the Corinthians, thirteenth
chapter and first verse-"Though |
speak with the tongues OF men and
angels and have not charity. / am
become as sounding brass or a tink-
ling cynboi." This is one of the
most familiar verses In the New Tes-
lament. certainly It is st. Paufs most
famous writing, and known and &C
cepted wherever there Is Christianity.
1t must not be thought that Miss
Crosman Is coming here to preach a
sermon with this verse as her text.
Nothing of the sort. The theme of
THE Tongues of Men" is based on
st. Pauls writing. but 1t is play.
and one that is intensely effective in
its situations and dialogue, and equal
ly sclntillating in its wit and humor,
thus affording Miss Crosman ample
scope to ply her art in driving away
tears and replacing them with smiles,
the mastery Of which she has no
equal.
