 The original Disraeli, one of the great est Of English statesmen, authors and wits, has been dead only about 30 years and is vividly remembered by many liv- Ing persons But Disraeli was man of, many eccentricities and a lover of draE faatic effect, so that the character has given MT. Arllss and MT. Parker great opportunities. In his portrayal of the stateman, Disraeli MT. Arliss has un- for himself, but for the theatrical pro- character will be recalled as one of the artistic creations of the present time
 'Disraeli' deals with the statesman's g suoces sful endeavor to gain control of the Suez canal for England, a work in which he meets with the secret opposi- ton of diplomatic spies. There is conse- quential intrigue which has been softened by love story and a glimpse of Disraels s home life. The dialogue is clever and the costumes of the period, the early 70s lend the play unique pictorial qualities. MT. Arliss' company includes Ernita i.ascelles Margaret Dale, Florence Arlss, Lila Campbell, Charles Harbury, Vim cent Sternroyd, Arthur Eldred, Henry Carvel and Dudley Dgges. Seats on sale Friday.

brother Gardiner Hall. Outside

miles of road each years at his
bis own expense besides paying
one fourth OF the taxes of the
town Of Wellington. He was a
philanthrop,c citizen and among
bis deeds of charity was the
building of large church in his
city. He was most just in every
manner to his employees and who
respected him to the highest de-
gree. MARX the perfect man

end of that man is peace" would
