MANY SITES FOR SCHOOL
TRUSTEES OF NEW INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL HAVE CHOICE OF
MANY LOCATIONS.
Seeking Site Containing At Least
5000 Acres Of Rich Ground With
Bonus From Local Residents-Lum-
Der Company Make offer.

Jackson,-L. c. Franklin, of Sun.
flower county, president of the board
OF trustees Of the Mississippi indus
trial and training school, has returned
from a trip with the governor and
other trustees through the southern
part Of the state investigating sites.
The trustees require 5000 acres Of
land and also want a cash bonus, both
of which they will get. This bonus
with the $4,000 state appropriation,
will enable the trustees to make a
good start on the erection of the nee
essary buildings.
This state institution is an educa-
tional and industrial school, intend
ed to reform delinquent, wayward, in
corrigible and neglected boys and
girls, The sum of money appropriat-
ed by the last legislature was small,
but once the institution is established
1t is expected the state will put up
sll the money needed.
1t is said the Gammil Lumber Com
pany, near Pelahatchie, Rankin coun-
ty, is prepared to not only offer the
5000 acres of cut-over land wanted
by the trustees, but will put up rs
much in the way of cash bonus as
any community.
The trustees, after visiting all the
sites offered, will meet at Jackson
and take stock" to see just what the
several offers are worth. The value
of lands to be given will cut quite a
figure, but cash bonuses will no+ be
ignored. The trustees need money as
well as land.

laying claim to having brought the

OF course, we know there is no

Klaw and Erlanger's production of

known by theatergoers and the read
Ing public, 1t seems rather superflu
Gus to repeat any terms of general
praise.
The vast panorama scenical and me-
chanical effects is the unquestioned
center of interest and il is the great
number and variety and superior ex-
cellence of the whole series that
makes the performance what IL is
an unparalleled success of spectacular
display. II appeals in the first place
very strongly to the curiosity OF the
reading public To tell a story in
dramatic action alone would be i'm
possible
1t is said that more than $4,000
was expended in experiments and con-
struction before the first public per-
Torrance was given. Electricians
even went so far as to invent "Star
of Bethlehem with binding. scintil-

admirably achieved. There are sew

run at the Manhattan Opera House

months to record breaking attendance.

VERY GOOD PRODUCTION OF
.sTHH GARDEN OF ALLAH"

While Robert Hichen's book THE
Garden OF Allah" makes good reading
because of Its strangeness and the un-
reality of his character of the monk.
after all It's main charm lies In his de-
scriptions OF the desert. and In road
production IL is impossible TO visual
lie the charm of the desort because of
the inability to carry all the neces-
sary mechanical effects Certainly. as
play The Garden of Allah" leaves
no lasting impression, as there IL but
one dramatic moment in the whole
dialogue, when Boris. the monk, makes
his confession to Domini whom he has
grossly deceived as to his true char
acter. In that scene last night Will
liam Jeffrey. who played Boris, almost
rose to the heights the part requires.
yet always falling thsrt OF the require
ments In his other scenes he was too
much repressed. and at times spoke his
lines in such low tone he could not
be heard three rows back. Yet withal
Mr.. Jeffrey is very capable young &C
tor who may be heard from some day,
doing better in more satisfying role.
Sarah Truax. an actress of mellow
experience. was very capable in the
part Of Domini speaking her lines with
wonderful effect.
The most satisfying actor in the com
pany was Howard Gould who. as
Count Anteoni, left nothing to be de-
sired in a very fine rendition of the
role of a disappointed lover who finds
solace in n return to his religious con-
victions. Others in the cast who were
entirely satisfactory in their roles
were Albert Andruss, as Father Rou-
bier: Edward Everett as Captain Ire
vignac. and Leo De Valery. as Batouch.
The scenic effects were realistieal-
ly done. especially the sand storm in
the desert a. nd the sunrise In the desert.
Just why the producers left out the
last scene in the play wherein Domini
and her son are seen in the garden Of
Count Anteoni and the curtain de-
sends leaving on the minds of the
audience the thought that she Is at
peace. even II not happy. is hard to I'M
derstand Possibly the length of the
play is the reason. yet 1t would cre-
ate more satisfying impression II the
play In its entirety was given.
