Rsseuina Napoleon 81 submarin..

q .
Rsseuins Napoleon BY Submarine.
In his book on submarines Frederick
A. Talbot tells us that the submarine
is practically as old as the sailing
ship" though he passes the fact over
with the statement that the majority
Of these efforts were fantastic In con.
ception and crude in design.
The most daring expedition ever sug-
gested in the early days Of the subma-
rine was that proposed for kidnapping
Napoleon from st. Helena. It was
suggested to British mariner, Cap
tain johnson, who was to get 100000.
The construction Of the boat was be-
gun, but on the day when the work on
the outer shell Of copper was to be
started Napoleon died.

Lamps Of the Sea.

Many kinds of jellyfish are phos-

derfully beautiful appearance when

given them the poetic title Of "the
lamps Of the sea-" They are not less
beautiful in the daytime. for most Of
the species are striped or tinted. some

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-04-18

A DAY BOOK CRITICISM. In
this issue is reprinted an editorial
from the American Socialist on The
Day Book, in which there is some
criticism of The Day Book editorial
policy. The weakness of The Day
Book, according to the Socialist, is
Its sympathies for what SEEMS TO
1T to be the Underdog." Supposed
sympathy for VIM. Lorimer and
Mayor Thompson are cited to illus
trate the point. The Criticism is a.
fair one, with the exception that
there is some miscOnception as to
The Day Books attitude toward
LoTimer and Thompson. I agree
with the Socialist that Lorimer, Gin
the heyday of his power, was the
most reactionary Of Republican poll
ticians." There never was anything
in his politics that I could see to adj
mire. On the contrary, 1 considered
him as a tool for Special Privilege. 1t
was only when some powerful local
interests knocked him down and
then began kicking him in the face
that some of my sympathy was
aroused for what was left of Lorimer
the man. And then all tried to do
was to give him a square deal in his
fight for life. I don't know him and
never met him, and have no SYM
pathy at all for his reactiOnary pol
itics.
AS for Thompson, think he has
made a miserable mess of things
thus far. But he has three years yet
to serve as mayor, and if l can do

To those inexperienced in the mat
ter of rehearsal the present stage Of
Satan Came Also might seem some
what unpromising. To those who
have been through the mill several
times, the sight of manuscripts in the
hands of actors and the bungling read
ing of the lines are no cause for great
concern. If every member of the cast
knew his part a week ahead of the
performance, the experienced stage
manager might die of heart failure.
Managing a play is what sherman
said war is, and Mr.. George Shelton
is squaring up to the sulphur with
angelic self command.
The best thing about Satan Came
Also" is the play itself. 1t is pure
farce, full of action and ridiculous
situations carried on in excellent bur-
lesque and dialogue. Some of the
characters are drawn to the life,
notably Uncle Bascom, Aunt Jemima,
and some other minor characters. The
others are exactly what the nature
of the farce demands, caricatures and
eXaggerations of human nature for the
sake of entertainment.
The second promising thing is the
managers method of conducting the
rehearsal. He gets after them re-

Haywood as Uncle Bascom, Mr.
George Platt as the parson, Miss Her
ron as Aunt Jemima.
We are accustomed to hearing it
said that such and such a perform
ance was very good for amateurs.
Very often, however, the average
amateur play, under good direction
is far above the average professional
performance. 1t is not too much to
predict that Satan Came Also will be
far superior to the majority of all the
performances given by many popular
stock companies which Topeka has
tolerated in the past. Lest this state
ment should not be very compliment
tary, it might be we'll to place a
