They are iust as much excited about

which does not admit that the be-
ginning and end of the drama to-day
is to be found in the works of
the Norwegian playwright. Nobody
understands any better wha; he did
for the theatre Of the latter years of
the nineteenth century than some of
the writer's who do consider it neces-
sary to perform critical hyperlatria
whenever one Of the good doctors

Indifference of the public. Indeed
there may we'll he much closer

told that the offices of the agents

Another promising young actress
gave the other night striking in
stance of the evil effects which acting
for the Aim plays may produce. The
highest fight of camera histrionism
is to have the subject turn the head
slowly until the full face is seen on
the screen. the eyes looking directly
at the spectators. 1t is the actress
with the large eyes who is always the
most popular on the camera. This ac-
tress has already learned to flash her
eyes with the best OF them and her
success at this speciality was great.
Unfortunately she has brought IL
, back with her from the ateler OF the
! picture men and the other night she
kept up a continuous struggle for a
place on the stage from which she
could turn slowly about in the good
old manner Of the movies and give
the audience the full benefit of her fine
black eyes. They are undeniably i'm
pressive. But the artificiality Of the
whole proceeding was too obvious.
The best thing about Nobody

second act scene designed by Elsie de
Wolfe. Against a cream background
there are decorations in black and
white. colored flowers and fruits To
vary the alienation Of black and
white and a pattern of the customary
chintz which harmoni2es strlkingly
with the other decorations. There has

cess Theatre never seemed So taste

NEW COLLEGE MERGER
Committee Decides to Retain Wesleyan
College at Mount Pleasant Provided
Certain Financial Requirements Are
Mst-county Must Raise 100000

Mount Pleasant, Dec. S.--All chances
Of merger Of Iowa Wesleyan college
and Parsons college of Fairfield are
abandoned, and 1t is now probable that
Iowa Wesleyan will remain here and
that there will be no merger with an
other school.
The committee of five to determine
the fate of the local school met and
voted to retain the college at Mount
Pleasant, unmerged with another in
stitution. if certain conditions are met.
Chief among these conditions is the
raising Of the productive funds of the
college endowment to $250,000 OF this
sum Mount Pleasant and Henry county
will be expected to contribute 100000.
This latter sum will he returned IL,
in the future the college is moved
elsewhere.
The college proposes to begin at
once a campaign to raise s150.O00 out
side Of Henry county. All negotiations
for removal Of the college will be called
off, pending the success or failure Of
the movement to increase the college
endowment. IT,.
If the present plan fails an effort
probably will be made to merge the
college with Cornell or Simpson, other
Methodist institutions of the state.
Wesleyan is the oldest college in the
state, having been founded seventy
, three years ago.

SPEAR HEAD. BEST CHEW

Many prominent physicians declare

the only way to get the benefit of all
the rich juices stored up by nature in
the tobacco leaf. refer, of course, to
the plug form Of tobacco, which is the
most natural and the cleanest form.
Chewing good tobacco like Spear
Head makes the salivary glands more
active, which in turn has beneficial
effect on the whole system. Add to this
the sweet. mellow. delicious favor Of 2
chew of Spear Head, and you have
the highest possible degree of tobacco
satisfaction.
II mention Spear Head because I
have found that this brand is exception
ally pure, being made in a factory
that's run strictly according to pure
food rules"
Spear Head is made of sun-ripened
Burnley, which is acknowledged to be
the richest, mildest, finest favored to-
bacco leaf in the world. And it is
produced by the latest processes, which
develop the quality and luscious flavor
of the choice Burley to the supreme de-
gree.
A chew of Spear Head has whole

other chewing tobacco. Try Sc or
