H. H. S.-28-G. H. Sc,
In the boys game, staged imme-
diately after, Guthrie had little more
to offer than in the girls game. The
Orange and Black quintet far out
classed their opponents in speed and
science, and kept well in the lead
throughout the game. II. H. s.
started off with goals by Pursley,
followed with one by Dabney. Guth-
rte retaliated by foul and neat
field, but were unable to hold this
pace. Goals by Randle and Pursley
ended the half with the score 1T in
H. II. S. favor.
In the second half Guthrie livened
up and aided by two baskets of
Pickett, began to nose High for a
close finish. The lead, however, was
too much to be overcome, and the
game ended with Hopkinsville on
the long end of a 2S.l6 score.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Disraeli'

Tn Louis N Parkers play. "Disrael, George Arliss gave at the Jefferson thea Ire last night an excellent character study of one of the most interesting per- sonages who ever figured in English poll tics. From dramatic point of view, there is little in the play other than an accurate portrayal of the Jew who be- came one of Englands s greatest premiers and matched his native wit with bril- liant success against the shrewdest poli- ticians of his time.
 George Arliss, himself an Engishman who has presented English types on the American stage for a number of years and has become one of the most finished actors at present on the stage, finds no difficulty in creating in Disrael a char acter who amply fulfills all ones imagina ton has conceived the man to be, with his racial characteristics brought out in Just the right proportions. Disraeiis s political sagacity, his innate kindlness. his love for his wife and his passionate devotion to all that concerns the welfare of the British empire are depicted in nasterly style. As an historical portrait Mr. Arliss' interpretation of Disraeli has justly been considered one of the most unique and most interesting achieve ments of any modern actor.
 MT. Arliss' masterful performance quite overshadowed the efforts of his com- pany, but nevertheless his support was competent and the principals gave good account of themselves. Mrs. Arliss played Lady Beaconsfield in way that typified her supreme devotion to Disraeli. while Margaret Dale as Mrs. Travers, Ernita Iascelles Lady Claaissa Pevensey and Arthur Eldred as -Viscount Deeford were acceptable.
 Students of history cannot afford to miss "Disraeli,'' while simply as an ar tistc and absorbingly interesting per formance, the play is well worth while Mir Arliss is said to be doing his best work in this play and those who witness his superb acting can hardly doubt it. 'Dsraeli will be presented at matinee this afternoon and again tonight.
 The Jefferson has not had this sea son a play or a star more to be commended. There were numerous curtain calls last night and Mr. Ariss was given most cordial reception. Those who admire the best in theatricals cannot afford to miss .Disraeli''
