Surely this is a week of big import to Phoenix amusement lovers. To- morrow night comes the public meet ing for the purpose of forming a Phoenix Center of the Drama League of America. Thursday and Friday bring the Country Club play Seven Days" and Saturday the opening of Riverside Park. to say nothiug of the feature bills at aIiOus theatres.
 Tn Seven Days" the Country elub offers to lovers of the drama one If thc best constl ucted farces that has ever been written. teelning with situations that are soreamirgly fun ny and acttd by a cast of amateurs who have already proven their worth. As an.ateur productions go, it will ne e,uite an elaborate one, the seen cry has all been painted especially for it. The sets are all unusual and two 1f them are particularly attrac- tive. Certainly everyone who attends will receive full value for their money end in some eases at least will find the acting far superior to that in many of the companies visiting Phoenix.
 Indications point to unusual in- terest in this production, whether it is because of the popularity of Mary Roberts Rinehart as a writtr, the lack of dramatic attractions t present or t5e popularity of the mem bcrs in the cast we don't know, but il is practically certain that Seven Days" will play to two capacity houses. It is the funniest play we nave ever seen.

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
National Heirlooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
of Independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
OF the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee in charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
SO they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two Of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for it was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place
and. moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.
