Marion, April 2s.-(special)-Th
second of a series of piano recitals was
given at Judson college last night by
Miss Ruth Elizabeth Pettus of Hunts
VILE
The programme was under the direc-
ton OF E.. l.. Powers, who for many
years has been prominent factor in
matters of music, as a teacher, COM
poser and pianist. Through his excel
lent training Miss Pettus has developed
into a pianist of remarkable ability.
Her programme, representing many
beautiful compositions of Bach, Schu-
n,ann Mendelssohn, Grieg and others.
was rendered with a technical ease, re-
fined style and a fine musical appre-
citation which was most pleasing and
satisfying. The most impressive char
acteristics of her playing being GEN.
tered in her soulful and artistic con-
ception of Schumann's "Romanci," and
a brilliant performance of the Men
delssohn "Etude."
Miss Della Hudmon of Opelika added
much to the pleasure of the evening
with her singing. She has soprano
of much sweetness and flexibility,
which was shown to advantage in two
groups of songs. OF special merit was

Mounting a Silver Print

To p. o. p: For good method of dis
playing a silver print to mount 1t on
glass, after fixing and mounting the print
it should be hardened in formalin in the
usual way and dried. Fifty grains of
gelatin should be allowed to soak in cold
water until quite soft and then be melted
by heat. Boiling water should be added
to make a total bulk of half a pint and
the liquid must be strained through a
couple of folds of cambric into a dish
previously warmed. Into this dish the
piece of glass after thorough clean
ing is placed, and the print, after soak
ing for a>sninute a or two in cold water, is
immersed in the warm gelatin solution
face downward ON the glass, and the two
are removed together. The print is light
ly squeezed into contact, taking care to
expel any air cells, and is put away to
dry. When dry the>front of the glass is
cleaned and mounted in any way fam
cied. Solo prints, if not dried after
fixing, but allowed to soak over night in
wash water, not too cold, can be squeezed
onto the glass, and will stick permanent
ly without the Intervention of gelatin.
They must not be treated with formalin.

FEMINIST THEATRE
ALONDON PROJECT

A feminist theatre is a project which
the Actresses Franchise league hopes
TO launch in the first week of October.
cat present it is in the very earliest
state, scarcely more than newly
hatched," said Miss Inez Bensusan when
asked about the scheme by repro
sentative of "Womans Platform" for
the Standard MY idea is that the ven-
ture shall be on sound co.. operative
principles with a guarantee scheme,
so there will be no speculation and no
risk. Already in response to letters sent
out l have received enthusiastic prom
| ises of support, from professionals as
| well as from various suffrage leagues.
These latter are taking up the matter
quite Irrespective of party, and the
desire to help the movement is evident
lily foremost in the minds of all those
who have responded.
'Phere Will be large general com
mittee representative of all the suffrage
bodies who associate themselves with
the scheme, and as soon as this Is
formed / hope to call a public meeting
in order to ascertain what support may
be looked for from the general public.
Small subcommittees will then deal
with all the various departments of
the work. The labor, l know, will be
enormous, and we shall want every
moment of the time between now and
October. But that is not going to
frighten us, and 1 feel sure a theatre
run as far as possible by women in
their own interest will be success
our first week will be devoted to
performances of Brieux's play La
Femme Seuie,' and of Bjornsen's The
Gauntlet both of which deal with
questions vitally affecting women. We
shall also try a series of one act plays
many of which are in hand only wait
ing to be produced.
II prefer to call our scheme by tho
name of feminist rather than by that
of suffrage, because l feel that the
former title is more indicative of the
wide scope we want it TO take and
the numerous interests that will be
bound up in it."
Miss Inez Bensusan has been a pro-
fessional actress, and besides appear
Ing on the English stage has toured
in America and South Africa For the
past two years she has acted as hon
orary organizing secretary to the play
department of the Actresses Franchise
league. In this capacity she has had
much to do in connection with arrang-
ing and giving those propaganda plays
by which the league helps forward the
work of all suffrage societies, irrespec-
tive of policy. Miss Bensusan has writ
ten several plays which have been pro-
duced at the Royalty Court and Little
theatres.

is known far and wide, and whose word
on social evils is quoted internationally.
Through his warfare against the white
slave traffic, Mr. Roe has invaded public
halls and churches. and all places where
men and women gather together, from
east to west, from north to south, and he
is calling upon his fellow men to unite
and rise against the arch enemies to So
ciety, who are Turing women and girls to
destruction.
Mr. Roes clean, clear cut views and the
sensitive, polished manner in which he
presents this horrible form of vice-older
than Babylon itself-gives the present
generation an opportunity to see it sys-
tematized and in a form which may be
handled delicately but effectively.
eAs an author scholar, lecturer and writ
er, Mr.. Roe stands pre-eminent, and
what he has aecomplished.jn his youth is
only ominous of the great good that he
means to do in the days to come.
''I am not a reformer because | choose
to be-" said Mr.. Roe yesterday, when he
was discussing his work, sbut because
can't help it. | do not see social reform
from the standpoint of the moralist or the
visonist, but my knowledge has come
about in an entirely different way Seven

QUI VIVE CLUB
ENTERS A PROTEST.

The following has been sent to all of
the federated clubs of Birmingham:
Greetings: At recent meeting of the
Qui Vive club several members made
protest against the proposed pot
latch celebration, on the ground of its
being the useless expenditure of a large
sum of money in ways unproductive of
educational and moral profit to the town.
1t was especially urged that protest be
made against having this form of en-
tertainment become an annual affair
1t was decided to call the attention
of the other clubs to be matter, in
order that it might be taken under gen
eral advisement to determine whether the
best interests of the city will be con-
served jby having the potlatch celebration
become part of our community life
