Stock Companies Experimenting With Next Notes

The stock companies are just now ex-
perlmenting with the plays which man
ayers may produce next season. The
Day That Never Comes" by Francis
X. Conlan, was one OF the first OF these.
II was acted last week in Worcester
by the Poll Players. The author is
the actor who succeeded Joseph Tuohy
as the young crook in THE Dummy" at
the Hudson Theatre. This proved an
other crook play. with It's heroine COM
PEELED by her husband TO enter a re-
spectacle house to learn the situation OF
the rooms In order that she may help In
its robbery and ultimately Is compelled
to make love to the son of the household.
She falls more In love with her in
tended victim, refuses to rob her bene-
factors and is ultimately freed not only
from her evil life but from her husband
as well. This drama follows the 1914
model for crook plays and Is altogether
comic, with only an occasional press OF
the dramatic pedal.
John Golden ana william Maxwell
are the authors OF Good Bye, Mexico"
which was played last week In Rochester.

Mr.. Blspham is singer, however, and
whatever his skill as an actor may be,
II Is true that he ranks with the well
known singers Ia opera. American
actors seem likely to be more often
honored with such degrees than they
were In the past. College graduates are
taking to the stage more and more every
year in this country and there seems no
likelihood that this disposition will
change. The best known OF the actors
among the college graduates is James
X. Hackett. but there are many others
who have achieved less fame although
some Of the youngsters are already on
the way to success. The establishment
of schools for playwrighting, for elocu-
ton and above all the greater attention
paid to the amateur performance In the
universities is certain TO Increase the
interest of undergraduates in the thea
ire. And one result OF that can be
foreseen with certainty.
Nowadays the theatre manager may
-un his company throughout the whole
ear without vacation unless his actors
rant It. The tour OF "Omar the Tent
Maker" is an example of the industry
,osslble to actors throughout the sum

LIFTS EMBARGO ON ARMS
All parties in Mexico Can Now Buy
in the United States

Washington, Feb. 3. President
Wilson, by an executive order made
public at the White House last night,
removed all restrictions against the
expectation OF munitions of war into
Mexico from the United States, plac-
ing the contending elements on a
basis of equality with respect o the
purchase of arms and supplies in this
country. The executive order EN-
phasized that it was the desire of the
United States to be in the same posi-
ton of neutrality toward the con
tending factions in Mexico as we're
the other powers. The text of the
presidents proclamation follows
Whereas, by proclamation OF.
the president, issued on March IA,
1912, under joint resolution of Con
gress approved by the president on
the same day, it was declared that
there existed in Mexico conditions OF
domestic violence which were pro-
noted by the use of arms or NUM-
tons of war procured from the Unit
ed States: and
Whereas, by the joint resolutions
above mentioned it thereupon be-
came unlawful to export arms or
munitions of war to Mexico except
under such limitations and except
ions as the president should pre-
scribe.
Now, therefore, |, Woodrow Will
son. president of the United States
of America hereby declare and pro-
claim that, as the conditions on
which the proclamation of March IA,
1912 was based, have essentially
changed. and as it is desirable TO
place the United States with refer
ence to the expectation of arms or
munitions of war to Mexico in the
same position as other powers the
