ENGLAND RELEASES
 OIL TANK STEAMER

Washington, November 2.-By releasing the Standard oil tank steamer Platuria today, the British government conceded the right of American vessels laden with the Illuminating oil to deliver their car goes at Danish ports.

Peg O My Heart"

J. Hartley Manners charming com edy drama, Peg O My Heart" was offered at the Jefferson theatre last night. beginning an engagement which will end Wednesday night substan- tially the same excellent company which presented the play last season at the Jefferson has returned for the present engagement.
 Miss Blanche Hall gives delightful performance as Peg" an Irish hoy. den from New York, who is given into the hands of her severely aristocratic English aunt to acquire a polish and perhaps a husband. thoroughly hu- man and lovable young person. and es- sentialy Irish, Peg is sadly out of place as member of a family who mistake selfish pride and absurd affectations Tor evidences of birth and breeding. She fails to acquire a polish. but she does capture a husband, who has a title and also turns out to be her legal guardian. The title in no way detracts from the good qualities of its bearer In this particular instance.
 Miss Hall plays the part of Peg with nice appreciation of it's limitations and possibilities. She makes Peg a quaint and very delightful young per son. whose Irish brogue and Irish ways are captivating.
 The company gave Miss Hall very good support. Miss Alma Chester as Mrs. Chichester made the aunt quite as disagreeable doubtless, as the au- thor intended her to be. while Miss Evelyn Warden, as Ethel. a girl who Is silly snob until her better nature Is called forth by Peg. who saves her from disgrace, was quite effective. Jo- seph Allenton as Elarie did an excel lent bit of acting and provided much of the comedy by his portrayal of a typically English character. F. L. Bruce-Tiden played Jerry with the un- affected manliness which the part seemed to demand and Pelham Lynton as the villain" could hardly have been more despicable. The minor parts were we'll taken and the whole performance was most pleasing throughout

The road from the old water tank to the Liberty" statue is still 300 miles. and the trunk is just as heavy as the stom- achs of tho busted" Georgia Minstrels are light. These two comedians, in their srotesque negro characterizations, are said to be funnier than ever in the midst of brilliant company with which Mir.
