II IL n curious thing that actors

have been more Jealous for the welfare
~ their profession than any other
class of men. They are always ready
To lend their art To the benefit OF any

for money they always give value
fourfold for II.
The present benefit is tho Lambs
contribution To the heroic effort to res
cue the Actors Fund from the throes
of hard times combined with the ruin
OF war. The public is not requested
TO give Of Its charity, but to accept a
wholesale splendor Of talent at a nomi-

The actor has won and held his posi-
ton in the social scale by making
himself worth while. He is now de-

In the Middle Ages the actor and
the drama suffered much persecution
from bigotry, but so did sculpture. and
science, and scholarship. Actors have
never been depressed except in times
of ferocious intolerance And during
those periods there were always little
secret meetings for dramatic perform
ance. since the drama has always been
a religion to its followers.

Rupert Hughes has written for the
programme OF the gambol to he given
on June 4 and the following sketch
OF certain phase OF the actors his
tory. Mr.. Hughes calls his article
when Actors Were Not Vagabonds."
When a member OF the British royal
family visited New York few years
ago he accepted the hospitality Of only
one club, the Lambs. Incidentally he
made one Of the best after dinner
speeches ever heard in that home Of
after dinner speeches. or. rather. Of
after supper speeches, for he spoke
at the spread served at midnight after
a gambol
At that time many people remarked,
And TO think that not so long ago
actors were considered vagabonds!"
The same remark is always made
when an actress marries into the peer
age or an actor is knighted, though
l.avinia Fenton became the Duchess
of Bolton as long ago as 1851. and as
early az 525 a. ID. the actress Theo.
dora became the wife Of the Roman
Emperor Justnian.
The first actor to he knghted was
made IA knight in the year 80 Il. G..
lie was great friend Of Cicero. as
was another actor. .Esopus. who built
up such a great fortune that when he
died his son and heir was able to dis
solve a $4,000 pearl in vinegar and
drink It to see how It would taste
was surprised to read the other
day OF Jewish actor In early Rome.
When the great Hebrew general and
historian Josephus arrived In Rome
and wanted To get an audience with
the Emperor Nero he applied to this
actor. Albums, who was favor!te
at court, Albums used his influence
with the tyrant to good effect and on
two occasions secured pardon and re-
lease for Jewish prisoners in Rome.
About the same time the actor Paris
was at the height of his influence and
Juvenal said, III you want to get the
royal favor ask an actor. not n lord"
some OF the actors were men. Of

REAL ESTATE MOVING;
ADVANCE IN PRICES
Several Transactions During
Past Week = Contractors
Getting Ready for a Busy
Building Season.

During the past week several trans
actions in real estate have been re-
corded in the city. and others of some
what more importance are expected to
materialize during the present week.
Some fifty lots, on which it is proposed
TO erect dwellings, have changed hands
since the Wooden Co.'S intentions be-
come known regarding the new build
ings and addition TO its manufactures
These lots were all sold at a consid-
cradle increase in price over the last
sales recorded in the city Prices on
realty generally have advanced all
around and a healthy demand has
sprung up, many enquiries having
been received from parties outside the
city.
Local contractors are preparing for
a busy spring and summer when the
building trades are expecting to be
buster than has been their fortune in
many years. The lumber men of the
city are laying in heavy supplies IN an
ucipatiOn OF the many new houses that
will be erected and which will be nee
essary TO take care of the additional
population that is expected Will come
here this spring and summer.
1t is understood that the South
waka are not inclined to let their
holdings go unless at figures away
above what they had previously asked.
Several of them have been in the city
the past week endeaVoring 10 purchase
additional land from local holders,
but in every case, il is said. the latter
refused 70 sell at less than skyrOck ct
prices.
1t has become known that some of
plans of the Wooden company being
made public, got busy and made sew
eral extensive purchases of lots in va
rious parts of the city which they got
at the old prices and which have with
in the past week almost doubled in
value.
That Mishawaka will have the bust
est year in its history is not doubted.
Confidence is in the air. and every
where one goes one hears nothing but
the most optimistic reports concerning
the future

Over Outlook For Big Entry
LiSt-May Have New Feat
ureS This Year.

That the Indiana state tournament
to be held in this city April 10 to 20
viii be a success and that it Will prob
ably be the largest ever held. is now
the enthusiastic hopes of Mishawaka
bOWlers. l.. G. Ellsasser stated Sunday
evening that he was most optimistic
over the outlook having already re-
celVed requests for reservations from
the cities Of Indianapolis, Gary, FIT.
Wayne, Peru and Ligonier. The entry
blanks were sent out about the mid
ole of last week and the prompt ans
.wers demonstrate the feeling exist
ing throughout the state regarding
the tournament.
1t is expected that a number of
teams Will be entered between the
cities OF South Bend and Mishawaka.
No attempt has yet been made to
estimate the number. Added features
which have not been demonstrated in
other big meets Will probably be ar
ranged for the local event, according
10 plans already under way by the Of
ficials OF the tournament.
As the entry list does not close un-
til March %, il is not expected that
any bulk OF entries will be received
before a week or 10 days
