ImpersOnatiOns Will
Be Limited at Yale

New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 13.-Mem-
bers of the Yale Dramatic Association
who take part in plays given by that
organization will be restricted in their
impersonation of female characters to
a period of one year. according to a
decision announced to-day by Fred
erick S. Jones, dean of Yale College.
The action is taken to avoid any pos
sible effeminacy which might result
from a continued impersonation of
female characters, and it was taken
by the dean as a result of a decision
by the special advisory committee of
tho faculty.
Dean Jones took occasion to deny
that he had come to a decision as a re-
suit of a conference with a New York
specialist. who advised him that con-
tinued female impersonations would
make the men effeminate.
The new ruling will have no effect
on the cast of the Yale Dramatic AS
sociation for the coming Christmas
performances, but will be put into ef-
feet next year.

TO MAKE TRADIPs WORK

Lewisburg, Pa, Dec. 13. = Sheriff
John Hackenberg has inaugurated a
plan that will likely cause tramps and
freight riders to give Lewisburg a wide
berth in the future. Since Lewisburg
has paved streets there has been no
system to keep them clean and the
sheriff got an idea that his prisoners
could do the work. Every winter the
county Jail is filled with tramDs and
freight riders. who violate some trifiing
law in order to get winters boarding
without work. To break this up the
sheriff is going to try the street sweep
ing plan, and this week formed his
eighteen prisoners into gangs of six

Girls and small women who are on the
outlook for a good model for the smart
winter suit will be sure to welcome this
one. 1t includes very new features, it
is absolutely chic and at the same time,
it is so simple that it can be made at home
without trouble. The coat is really
loose one. Here, it is made with shaped
front edge and is laid in plaits that are
held in place by means OF belt, but If
a simpler coat is wanted, it can be cut
off straight at the front edge and made
without the plaits to become much SIM
plihed and to suggest box coat. The
skirt is semi-circular one, always easyto
make, always graceful and attractive.
In the picture, the material is one of the
new velvet-fnished cloths and the trim
ming is fur that seems to be almost uni
versal, but the model could be copied
in any seasonable material and with
collar and cuffs of velvet or of handsome
fur plush in place of the fur, while the
edge of the skirt and the edge of the coat
are finished with braid, with banding or
in any way that may suit the fancy.

Audiences Great Help
TO PhotoplayerS
AS Well AS To
Stage Stars.

The effect of the rapid develop
mcnt of the motion picture from
the decent renovated store show
to the 81 legitimate theater has
had a decided effect on the actor
film. The doctrine of the survival
of the ittest has applied ruthless
ly and has resulted in some very
rapid changes of personnel. prac-
tically every phase of the work
has been discussed except the ac-
tors ard actresses side OF 1t.
The Times has heen able TO Sc
cure directly from Mabel Trun-
nellie. OF the Edison company, d
rather interesting discussion of
just what the photoplayer thinks
of the change that has come. Miss
Trunnelle Is one of the PLAYERS
who has been in the business from
the beginning. She Is one of the
real stars of the ilm drama. in
addition to being a young woman
of out OF the ordinary Intelligence.
Anything she may say, therefore,
Will be of great interest to pa
irons of the film.
1T was more than the commercial
side that attracted me first to mo-
tion pictures" Miss Trunnello states.

that 1t was only question OF time
when they would reach their pres

ReSOurCeful.

There is certain young woman Of
Brooklyn who possesses a hat of which
she is inordinately proud. 1t was a
small hat originally. but the owner had
increased it's proportions materially by
the addition Of willow plumes attached
to wire backbones.
Now. she wore this hat to music fes-
tival not long ago, and she felt very
much dressed up. As she leaned back
gracefully and complaCently in her chair
she felt a gentle tuggng at the afore-
said hat from behind.
SO she turned and said to a self-pos-
sessed young man just in her rear,
Does my hat annoy you?'
Not at ALL" said the young man.
She of the hat thought II over for a
while. 1t occurred to her that perhaps
she had been ungracious. Accordingly she
turned again, this time with this query
Perhaps the plumes interfere with

These are the conditons-the i'm

that make it almost an Indispensable

should have dramatic experience,
