Classic stock Company in Massa-
chuaetts.

On the first of January, the Henry
Jewett Players began a repertory sea-
son at the Boston Opera House. This
beautiful playhouse was made avail
able by the temporary suspension Of
opera in Boston. The company was re-
cruited from the ranks of the best
English actors obtainable. and is di-
rected by Henry Jewett. the WELL
known actor.
The enterprise is under the manage
ment of w. r. Macdonald. business
manager of the opera company since
its inception, and formerly with Henry
Savage.
The idea underlying the project was
the establishment Of a repertory, the
ater on the model of the great the
aters of the Continent, without. how
ever, the disadvantages attendant upon
musical subsidy. As one of the impor-
tant means OF making the theater truly
popular in it's following, the prices
were fixed on as. low a scale as pos
sIble.
Shakespeare was wisely taken as the
basis of the repertory. and four plays
have already been presented: "As You
Like It." Romeo and Juliet" The
Merry Wives of Windsor" and Julius
Caesar" The productions in prospect
during the next two months include
Hamlet" Macbeth" "The winters
Tale" "othello." The Merchant OF
Venice" Much Ado About Nothing"
and Twelfth Night"

wagon was drawn by the only horse

The opening night of the play was

until O'Clock, but I need not tell
you that, hot as it was, it did not

''1t was in this city, too, that we

can foretell the success of new play:
he is too close to ii. He can say no
more about it than it is aCtabIc. In
this instance I can claim that much
for "A Girl of Today and besides that

NatiOnaI-cyrn Maude in "Grumpy,,

NatiOnal-Cyril Maude in HFGrumpy'
The announcement of the engage
ment of Cyril Maude in Grumpy" at
the New National Theater this week is
an interesting one. Mr.. Maude has
been for years one of the leading
character actors of the English stage
and his theater-The Playhouse-has
long been noted for it's successes
The English actors skill and YER
satility. shown to Americans for the
first time last year in New York, was
so great that a stay of a few weeks
as originally planned, was heightened
into a whole season and the other large
American cities which Mr.. Maude in
tended to visit had to wait until this
fall. Washington is the third place out
side New York which has had the
privilege of seeing Mr.. Maude, and the
play in which he will appear.
Grumpy" was a success in the metrop-
oils.
Grumpy" is a sort of Elective melo-
drama in which Mr.. Maude plays the
part of an aged and very grouchy GRIM
lnal lawyer, very much soured on the
world in general, but with. neverthe-
less. deeply hidden and very soft
heart.
The theft of a diamond, worth half
a million. from his own nephew and In
his own house, rouses all his old in
stincts and he ferrets out the criminal

ner that would put Sherlock Holmes to
shame And to the final great delight of
a mystified audience.
Mr.. Maude is supported by Elsie
said to be one of the most
young women on the English
stage. The play is the work of Horace
Hodges and T. Wigney Percyval. both
actors. The latter. will be remember

The Road to Happiness" is de-
scribed as a Cheerful comedy of opti-
mism." Its central role of young Jim
Whitman, village jack-of all ll-trades
and law student. is said to afford Mr..
Hodge as delightful an opportunity for
his peculiar stage personality as did
his previous part of Daniel Voorhees,
Pike in the Booth Harrington drama.
The plat of the piece concerns the
mystery of a founding left on the
doorstep of the squire's home. Whit
man comes to the defense of an un-
justly accused girl and not only finds
himself in the midst of a regular viii
lage feud but in danger of losing his
own sweetheart Through his unfaiIing
cheerfuIness, humor and honesty he
brings happiness at last to all con-
cerned.
Many character types are enacted by
well-known players. The principal
members of the supporting cast are
Scott Cooper, Ida Vernon. Azack
Evans, Marie HayDes, and Edwin Mel

in which Gertrude Hitz, leading lady in
THE Man from Home enacts the SLAM
dered Viola, while Hazel Sexton is the
squire's daughter, Eva.

Guy Bottoms comedy, THE Rule Of

Players this week when the new leading
woman, Maud Gilbert, and the new lead
ing man. Rockliffe Fellowes, make their
inintial bow, and when three favorites of
former seasons-Graham Velsey Gertrude
Bondhill and Louis Haines-will return to
the company.
THE Rule of Three tells the story of
young woman who has been three times
married. AS the curtain rises she Is
spending her third honeymoon in the
same inn where she spent her previous
honeymoons She Is deeply in love with
her newest husband. and the only thing
to mar her happiness Is his terrible JeaI-
ousy. This passion Of his threatens to
destroy their newly found happiness when
the heroine's first husband appears on
the scene, but the situation becomes
truly critical when the second husband
puts in an appearance. The three-times
bride has sisterly interest In the well
fare Of her two former husbands, and
she Is anxious to see them married to |
congenial helpmates. In her endeavors |
to bring this about she Is forced to do |
many unconventional things and her

bled Himself to become a man, In or
der that He might become the great
Sin-Ofering for our race. But the Ike
deemer prayed 10 be glorified with the
glory which He had with the Father
before the world was and He prom
ised His Church a share in His Heav-
emily glory. Did He lead US to expect a
Heavenly glory, Heavenly Inheritance
and glorious change from earthly to
Heavenly conditions, and viii He give
US, instead, earthly glory and merely
perfection in the flesh?
How slow we have been to see that
God never purposed that either Jesus
or His faithful Elect should remain in
the flesh! A few Bible statements mis-
understood got US into difficulty. We
read. Every eye shall see Him." and
forgot that there are eyes Of under
standing as well as natural eyes. We
forgot that Jesus declares that very
few now see or hear-only the sanity,
whose eyes of understanding have been
opened by the amounting of the Holy
Spirit. We forgot that Jesus said, "a
little while and the world seeth Me no
more" When once we discern that He
has been glorified-that He has been
given a spirit nature again, that He
no longer has the human nature which
He surrendered as Sin-Sacrifice, then
we see why the world will see Him
no more, and why the Church must
be changed by resurrection power be-
fore she can see Him.

 ON MAY IS.
Committee From the Ladies' Clubs of the City Will Make Investigations and Submit Report of What They Find.

The cellars under business houses on Central avenue and the down town district, and under buildings owned by prominent and influential men of city affairs, will be investigated in the Clean Up' day movement on May l5. It has been drought to the at. tenton of the ladies of the various clubs who are working together to make this clean up effective that some of the most depl0rable conditions are those not exposed to view. and that to make the city sanitary. some of the cellar conditions ought to be exposed
 The ladies are busily at work meet ing with the board of health and other organizations interested in this move. ment. The fact that the state of Ar kansas won first place in the south for civic improvement, and that Hot Springs contributed so little to that honor, has stirred the ladies to a high state of enthusiasm. They believe that this year they can get results.
 An interesting part of the movement is that the ladies declare they can

 One lady prominent in the work said yesterday: While the vacant lots and the unsanitary conditions in full view of all who are observant. are very bad, yet there is still a more se- rious phase Of the case, and that is the unsanitary places that are hidden from view. Merchants tell us that in many of the store buildings down town the cellars are frequently flooded and the places are damp. even if they do not contain standing water The ten ant does not feel that it is obligation to provide drainage for these build ings, and the property owner will not do SO Therefore nothing is done in the matter We propose to find out where the conditions are bad and to get the matter into the courts so that somebody will .be required to clean up the conditions'
