Tacoma theater tonight.
Nobody opened the play. No
body introduced each act. And
Nobody closed the solemn story
with sonorous requiem after the
last curtains had folded upon each
other.
Nobody, who so nearly won the
affection of Everywoman, after
she had forsaken Modesty and had
taken Greed, Vanity and Self as
her companions. gloated In his ef-
forts to cast another soul into the
depths.
Allegory is not pleasant. In
deed, everywoman in the audience
at the Tacoma theater last night
felt an instructive kinship to the
Everyw0man of the stage, with
almost dread OF what the play
might develop. There was not
much applause. The solemn,
deeply-rooted play was so impress
sive that one forgot to applaud,
SO enwrapped was he in earneeS
contemplation of the passing spec
tacle.
Many Of the audience had at
tended the play thinking 1t to De
IA musical comedy of light nature.
They were mistaken but not dis
appointed. Probably no stronger
sermon in defense of modesty and
womanhood has ever been preach
ed from the American stage than
that of Everywoman.
1t Is the poignant, bitter story
of the life of every woman who,
listening to flattery, ignores truth
and forgets modesty Everywoman
symbolized In the flesh and blood
of a single actress, attempts to
take her hand-maidens, Beauty
and Youth. through life with her
after she has Stunned Modesty
and Truth. She yields to Passion,
and lfstens to the disgusting argu-
ments Of Wealth. At last, after

MT. Wilkinson is an old resident of
 New London and in his time has erect
 ed several buildings, notably in Bank, and Howard streets and in Montauk
 avenue. It was he who built the New London Opera house, now the Empire
 theatre, on the site of his old black
 smith shop, which by the way was the first building to be erected in that sec
 ton of Bank street that was formerly known as the Long Bridge. It was long strip of land extending from the Rogers boat shop the side to the Brown carriage factory, and from the Andy Farrel house to Hobron's market on the other. There was a single joist fence on a low stone wall on either
 side of this roadway, with water on
 both sides for it's full length with a sluiceway near the Brown factory. G
 For long time the Wilkinson black smith shop was the only building that faced the Long Bridge proper and 1t extended over the waters of Shaws cove. resting on a foundation of piles made of small pieces of granite and field stones. Now both sides of the street for the full length of the bridge is built upon and the cove on the west side of the old roadway has disap- peared having all been filled in and covered with buildings. MT Wilkin- son is a carriage blacksmith and a good one but he has not worked at his trade for a great many years. He doesn't have to. He is a keen, far sighted gentleman and has been sue cesful in gathering together much of the coin of the realm, and long ago joined the class of men whose banner bears the significant words: Whats the use of working, so long as you have a trade"
 He was in on the ground floor when the veIocipede was the rage and was not slow in converting his blacksmith shop into a ve1ocipede rink and made some of his own velocipedes, and he gradually converted the rink into dance hall and finally into a full fledged theatre, selling the property to the present owners. He has not been in the building business to any extent of late, but being believer in the future of New London, and realizing that there is demand for tenements, he is getting ready to derive some of the financial benefits.
 There will be three matters of con- importance heard before diff ferent committees and at the same time in the statehouse at Hartford on Tuesday, April 29; two of local as well as statewise interest and the other perhaps purely local. In consequence there will be some disappointments, as many would like opportunity to attend at least two of the hearings, which will be impossible, for it Is conceded that while man may do more than one thing at time he can be in but one place. The committee on roads, bridges and rivers will give hearing on the act which provides for the taking over of the Thames river bridge | 1t New London and using the same for purposes.

 With the increased uses of the public highways it will soon become neces- safy to utilize a bridge across the Thames. as ferrVboatS are not equal to the occasion and are fast becoming obsolete.
