first draft of the regional map it is as
serted that the New York district, in
stead of being limited to that single
state, took in parts of New Jersey, thus
following what was considered the nat

the first draft it is also said that Balti-

Richmond was ignored. y member Of

many mysterious and not few melo-
dramatic moments. Moreover, it is
said to be substantial in texture and
constructed with much more fineness
than the noun farce" implies, which
accounts for the enthusiastic apprecia-
ton with which it was enjoyed by me-
tropolitan audiences in New York
where it broke all records for capac-

This interesting offering was staged

TULANE THEATRE

"Milestones" comes to the Tulane
Theatre next week. Few announce
ments could be more welcome, for
I"Milestones" has proven to be the most
beautiful and charming play of gem
Grafton. The charm of this comedy
by Arnold Bennett and Edward Knob
LAUGH is unique. Authors and inter
prefers carry the audience first back
fifty years to the days of hoopskirts
and crinolines, and then on through
half a century up to the present min
ute. In two and half hours one has
| lived through and with three different
generations, sympathized with their
sorrows and shared their joys.
"Milestones" comes to us with a rec
ord of two years in London and a year
in New York. 1t is interpreted by
company of London actors engaged
with special care by Klaw & Erlanger
and Joseph Brooks for tour that will
embrace every large city in the United
States and Canada, and who have al
ready been seen in New York city.
"Milestones" has probably received
more praise from critics, the amuse-
ment public, ministers, statesmen and
leaders in every walk of life than any
other dramatic work of modern times.
Its appeal is universal. 1t is filled with
the spirit of youth and romance, which
accounts for the fact that it is now be-
ing successfully played in many Ian
guages and literally all over the world.
Historically, "Milestones" is of I'M
usual interest for its three scenes all
pass in the same room, the first in
1860, the second in 1885 and the third
in 1912. AS the play progresses we see
the marked changes in dress, furniture,
decorations, sentiments and manners.
lSeveral of the characters are carried
along by the same players through
youth, maturity to old age.
John Rhead, shipbuilder, defies his
own and partners family. dissolves
partnership, and even risks losing his
Ifiancee because he will go in for build
ling ships of iron instead of wood.
twenty-five years later the same
John Rhead, married, prosperous and
about to become baronet, opposes a
proposition to build ships of steel in
stead of iron, a project devised by his
daughters sweetheart, brainy young
draughtsman. He prevents his daugh
ter from marrying the choice of hel
heart and compels her to marry peel
old enough to be her father.
Another generation passes and the
shipbuilding baronet, now in the sew
enty-seventh year, on his golden wed
ling day tries to Illustrate the match be
tween his granddaughter and a fine
young engineer, who sees a career fol
himself in the Canadian far west. Thi:
time the old baronet's efforts are op
posed by his wife, who pleads for the
younger ones happiness. The girl:
mother, now a widow, meets again the
man who had courted her in the early
days, now a wealthy manufacturer anC
labor leader in Parliament, at the mo
ment engaged in settling a strike il
the shipbuilder's firm.

tears, and the final curtain falls upoI

the thief, aided and abetted by the real
Officer 666, and how the thief, though

Officer 666" is an original play, and
its success is all the more gratifying
because of the fact that it is purely
American from start to finish.
