pany this week will present its most am
bilious production, 1.-The Spring Maid"

forte. Frank NJ Ranger. who was the
original stage director of the Spring
Maid" is convinced that Miss Eleanor
Henry. the prima donna of the Column

measure Of success in the role Of Princess
Bozena, part in which she alternated
with Miss Mcdonald two years ago.
The Spring Maid" was written around
a legend in Grin1ms Folk Lore Of Ger
many. The site Of Carlsbad and its
environs was once a dense forest.
Astounding in all kinds of game 1t
was q favorite hunting ground Of the
mobiles. According to tradition. a hunts
man. pursuing a rabbit. followed far
into the forest, where the game was
protected by bevy OF wood nymphs
who employed him to spare the crea-
lures life. Upon his refusal the wood
nymphs invoked a violent storm, after
which the huntsman found himself
lost in the Wilderness. When on the
verge of exhaustion the huntsman en-
countered a water sprite. who led him
to a certain rock. which she struck
with her wand. A stream of sparkling
water gushed forth. The huntsman
drank and was refreshed. The water
sprite then led him from the forest in
order that he might proclaim to the
world the beneficial qualities of the
Carlsbad spring.
Five of the members Of the Columbia
Musical Comedy Company have hereto
fore sung their various roles in the
Spring Maid" Miss Eleanor Henry, as
Princess Bozena, sings the big waltz

ALES OF GREAT BRITAIN
WHOSE RECIPES ARE LOST

TT HE anti-drink movement in Great
Britain. led and presumably popu-
larized by the action of King George In
ordering the royal cellars to be locked
and that no alcoholic beverages be
served in the royal palaces, aims more
at spirituous than at malt liquors.
And this calls to mind that from the
earliest times of which there are re-
corded chronicles ale has been extern
sively used by the British
Ale used to be made in Britain Of
many things which now do not enter
into the brew. Before the brewing of
ale became the business and work OF
a particular set of men. i was a home
industry, and most wives, and also
many daughters before becoming wives.
were expert i'll brewing ale. Some had
more renown than others in their
neighborhood for excellence in this
work, and a married womans reputa-
ton was often much enhanced by the
good quality of the ale she breTed.
The goodness of her ale, the amount OF
it and the degree of liberality in pass
ing it around often determined the
amount of company which called at her
house.
1t is said by men who have gone into
the history of British ale that the
recipe of the best of all the ancient
ales has been lost. That was an ale
which was brewed from heather by
family of Picts. and the recipe Tor
which was handed down from genera
ton to generation in the same FANNY.
There is a tradition in connection with
this ale that when invaders from ire
land conquered the Picts they oHered
to spare the lives of the ale brewers In
return for the secret OF the famous
liquor The family numbered four. and
the father stipulated that his three
sons should be killed before he re
vealed the secret and dishonored nus
race When the three sons had been
slain, the father cltnched with lhe
leader of the invading force, refused
to reveal the secret of this pecuilar
heather brew and was killed so lar
as the annals show. nobody has ever
rediscovered the formula of this ale
Stevenson wrote a charming ballao
which he inscribed to this heathef
ale" which he says is Galloway leg
end. He says that the legend OF thts
ale claims high place among the
curiosities of human nature. He also
says-what certain historians know 10
be true-that the Picts, though SUB
jected to terrible and merciless slaugh-
ter. were not exterminated, and that
the descendants of this people are
found today in considerable numbers IN
certain parts of Scotland. He writes
rs it possible the chronicler's error
was merely nominal? That what ne
told, and what the people proved theri-
selves so ready to receive. about the
Picts was true or partly true of some
anterior and perhaps Lappish savages,
small of stature, black of hue, dwelling

tillers of some foreign spirit!
In addition to the heather ale. one
may find many references to an ale the
secret of whose brewing seems to be
so well buried in the past that nobody
has been able to resurrect IT, NAT
