to company of full grown men.
Without exception, they expressed an
enthusiasm for high ideals and manly
character that was good to hear.
The principal address was given
by MIR. Paulson. who brought, as he
said, -four distinct challenges to the

school is debating to other institutions

high school is the great educational

1.-THE FREELY" AT DUBUQUE.

Especial TO The Argus)
Dubuque. Iowa, Feb. 5.-The capac-
ity audience of the Grand that greeted
Miss Thayer in the title role of the
''Firefy' last night was prepared for
something above the average. The as
semblage left the theatre more than
gratifed. Miss Thayer's personality is
all pervading, though without this gift
her histronic ability would have made
her a success in the role. From her
frs, appearance on the stage she was
the center of spectacular gravity.
Vivacious and gripping. her hold upon
the audience was constant. Her next
move always is conjectural and I'M
usual is the thing that happens. Her
is essentially French and
whether in the attitude of the poser
or animated by the ecstacy of youthful
delight, she emanates an attraction
that takes an irresistible hold upon the
crowd The thread of the plot in
THE FREELY is sufficient to carry it
beyond the bounds of mere suspicion.
Miss Thayers voice is ample in all its
registers. is rich in quality and volume.
The support is classy and the orchestra
is real in every sense of the turn

"THE RIGHT PRINCESS"

The Right Princess" by Clara Lou
Use Burnham. has been booked for two
special performances at the Illinois
next Sunday. This play is TO be pre-
sented by Robert Dempster, the well
known actor, and his company of play
ers and promises an unusual treat for
theatregoers. Mr. Dempster is per-
sonal friend of Mrs. Burnham, the
author of the play, who selected him TO
enact the difficult and unique role Of
Billy, the hero, as he is especially fitted
for this part. which he created when
the play was first produced in the Bijou
theatre, in New York. The role severe
the part of a young man of p with
the mind of child, caused by a fall
from his horse when he was IA years
of age. He has become brutal and
abusive during the years following his
accident. but is finally restored to his
normal mental condition through the
influence of mind over matter. as
brought to his attention through 1.-The
Right Princess" which part is delight
fully played by Miss Katherine Robine,
an actress of exceptional ability, charm
and beauty. Nearly everyone is famil-
lar with Mrs. Burnham's writings and
probably her best known books, are
Jewels" Sweet Glover" 1.-The Right
Princess" and THE Leaven of Love"
When the play was recently presented
by Mr.. Dempster. at the Shubert the
atre. at Kansas City, Mrs. Burnham
was present for the performance and
spoke to the audience from her box.
This added unusual interest to the
play. When Mr.. Dempster appeared
in the play in New York the critics
compared his acting to that of the late
Richard Mansfield.

Though scarcely more than a girl in

more interesting activities than the

allotted three score years and ten.
Soon after she put on long frocks,
Mrs. Burleson, who was then Jane
Walker of Galveston. Texas, went to
New York to school. While there she
studied art under that great teacher
and eminent painter, William NJ.
Chase, whose personal friendship and
interest she gained. She was grad
uated in Mr.. Chase's normal school,
which entitled her to the much covet-
ed right to hold a teachers certificate.
