The New Megrue Comedy Is
Refreshing in It's Hunor
David Belasco's Latest Pro-
duction Delighted a Capac-
ity Audience Last Evening
at the Belasco Theater, Fur
nishing Three Hours Of Ef-
fervescent. Entertainment.
By JULIA CHANDLER.

No less delightful because OF its frothi-
ness Is the new comedy by Roi Cooper
Megrue, which David Belasco presented
last evening at the theater bearing his
name, the performance here representing
the metropolitan premiere of the piece.
The plot revolves around a ridiculous
will made by the grandfather of Jim
mie Shannon. The old codger, realizing
his grandsous aversion to matrimony,
stipulates that his millions are to be
inherited upon condition that Jimmie
marries before he Is 30; lives in good
faith with his wife for one year, and
perpetuates the name of Shannon. This
formidable document is properly drawn
when the young clubman is 25, and the
grandfather procrastinates an extension
of thine for the victim until he meets
with a fatal accident abroad, leaving
Jimmie but thirty hours grace before
his thirtieth birthday.
Determination to choose single blessed
ness at the cost of poverty fades before
little practical figuring of the ad-
vantages of the twelve million, and young
Shannon, abetted by his Chum, Billy
Meekin, decides to take the plunge II a
girl can be found who is willing to marry
him. Follows an auspicious ladies' day"
at the club affording ample opportunity
for proposals, and the cleaning of an eX-
perience as varied as it is ludicrous for
the wOuld-be bridegroom, who travels a
twisted path to the lane of love and
eventual happiness.
With a theme of such divers possi-
bilities The Lucky Fellow" develops
many amusing situations and affords
ample opportunity for an evening of
comedy that verges upon farce, even
while supplying a romance of natural
development and tender appeal Mr.
Megrue has so strung his situations
that they hold admirably together af-
fording action that moves swiftly
with numerous unexpected twists
which enhance with their surprises
the interest and delight of the auditor.
Threaded with pointed epgrams and
good natured Cynicisms The Lucky
Fellow" kept a capacity audience
at the Belasco Theater tittering
through three hours of delightful en-
tertainment last evening. for which an
excellent company deserves a vote of
thanks almost equal to that which
must be accorded Mr.. Megrue for the
merit, of his new comedy, and Mr..
Belasco for it's flawless presentation.
Playing the title role is Frank Craven,

FIND 20 INDIAN SKELETONS.

Oregon City, April A.-whfle eIcsvating
for a basement near the river bank, men
employed by Frank Busch have uncover
cd twenty skeletons OF Indians in one
hole.
The bodies are supposed to be the re-
mains Of Indians killed in battle, for in
one or two cases arrow heads have been
found caught between the bones
The first trace OF the bones was found
early in the week when the workmen
uncovered a skull II was buried by
itself and Mr.. Busch, who has studied
the find carefully, believes that II be-
Ionged to a chief or leader.
To prevent disturbing the bones the
worinen began excavating in another
place and they found a hole with
radius OF about six feet which Mr.. Busch
estimates contains the bones OF at least
twenty Indians The skeletons are lying
like the spokes Of a wheel with the skulls
in the center. over the top OF the grave
was a thick hard crust OF baked clay
that was hardened like stone.
