Urges Hough Promotion.

Representative Oslesby. one of the
few upstate democrats left in the
House has vigorously presented to the
President and the Attorney General his
view that the business of the circuit
court would be greatly facilitated by
the promotion of Il man of Judge
Hough's experience and ability. and
that Judge Hough's service warran-
en his promotion. Mr.. Oglcsby takes
the view that the people of New York
are resentful of politics enterting into
the nomination of federal judges, and
that the nomination of a man as cir
cult judge solely because he is demo-
crat. when the work of the court would
be immensely facilitated by promotion
Of an experienced republican. would be
bad policy. President Wilson has
listened carefully to this view. and is
lid to sympathize with it. What he
will do about the Recommendation of
Elkus will be determined i'll the flu
ture.
Mr.. Oglesby has told the President
that If Judge Hough is promoted there
would be no objection to the nominal
ton of a democrat district judge
to fill Judge Hough's place, but that
democrat from up the state should be
selected.

"SIEBENTE TAG"
BRIGHTLY ACTED
AT IRVING PLACE
German Players Do Much with
Witty Comedy by Schanzer
and WelisCh

A three-act comedy in rhymed
couplets is a thing to be avoided un-
less, as was the case with Der Sic
bente Tag" ("The Seventh Day.
played for the first time at the Irving
Place Theatre last night, it is wittily
written and acted with spirit. The act
inc Of the German players under the
direction of Mr.. Christians would
have carried a less spirited play than
Rudolph Schanzer and Ernst Wehsch
had provided. The verse in il is al
WAYS good conversation, often charm
ing and several times at least in each
act carries barbed sting.
The theme Of this little comedy, set
in the Potsdam Of ITO, is not or
iginal. II concerns the qualms Of an
Indifferent young bride who IS deter.
mined TO put her husband to test OF
fidelity for seven days, at the end o.
which, if he failed to pass, she is TO
retire to a nunnery. She becomes in
volved in her own scheme, falls mad
lv In owe with him, and is at her wits
end TO make him reciprocate her ardent
affection. Her friend, Leonore, widow
in love with a dashing captain, has also
reason to doubt the fidelity of her
cavalier. He has been paying conspicu-
Gus court to Demoiselle Nettor,
dancer. The two plots converge IN an
inn in Potsdam, and the two couples are
united, convinced Of one another's iidel-
ity.
So far as the plot is concerned, the
expected does not happen. That is pc
cause the authors have substituted IN
genuity for dramatic necessity. They
have given their play one conspicuous
asset. and that is the character Of ANA
deus Lademus, cousin TO Leonore, mad
" in love with her, who is alternately
roasted nearly to death while hiding IN
a Dutch oven and drowned while trying
to convince her of the inhdelity OF
her brave captain. 1t gave Christian
Rub the opportunity which ne knows
so well how TO use-that of celebrating
an absurd and laughable comedy part.
Aranka Eben, as Leonore, played with
energy and spirit, and Margaret Chris
tisns, the young bride, with a charm
that compensated the youthfulness OF
her technique. Eduard Kepler used his
peculiar talents for the impersonation
Of hammered dancer, and Hans I'm
terkirchner was a graceful Hans Won
Stechau. The others were adequate,
with the exception Of Otto Meyer, who,
it is to be hoped, will have come nearer
10 a bowling acquaintance with his lines
in subsequent performances.
