EURYDICE


 Eurydice was the wife of Amyntas, King of Macedonia, and lived in the fifth century before Christ. She was the mother of Alexander, Perdiccas and Phillip, father of Alexa ander the Euryone by name. From a criminal love she had for her daughters hus- band, she conspired against An1yntas, her own husband. He, however, dis covered the plot against his life through one of his daughters by a former wife. SIstead oe seeking ven- geance against Eurydice, he forgave her. On the death of Amyntas Alex ander ascended the throne, but he perished through the intrigues of his mother. His brother Perdiccas, who succeeded him also fell victim to her ambitions. Phillip, who suc- ceed them both, possessed sufficient strength to preserve his throne against all her attempts. Finally Eurydice fled to Iphfcrates. the Ath- enian general. What became of her afterward is unknown.

From out on the Pacific Coast comes a story that Harry sWolverton is in line to manage the Detroit Tigers next year. Several boosts for Wolyerton have been heard of late and it looks like somebody was organizing a cam paign to get him back in the big show with a team where he. would have a chance.
 Kid Gleason, right-hand bower to Clarence Rowland, has his own opin- ion as to the great revival in hitting on the part of the White Sox. It is a thing that just comes 10 a team, he says. The pitching, he ayers, has been no worse than wha tthe Sox had been facing earlier in the season. They just began hitting, that's all-and the more they hit the more they hit.

 In! St. Louis they say the trouble with the Browns is that the players who belonged to the old Hickey re- gime won't play for Ball and Jones because they have a fixed idea in their heads that the management of the Browns gave Hickey a bad deal--and yet George Sisler was Rickey's partic- ular protege. Looks like some other reason would have to be advanced Ty Cobb, who already has dabbled in moving pictures, is now going into the vaudeville business, not as a per- former, but as partner in a produe- ing and booking concern, with offices in New York.

Don't mourn because John Barley corn has received a knockout blow! Don't weep because soft drinks have joined the COW that jumped over the hoon. Just drop around to the new Lyric theatre any matinee or evening this week. and, between the acts Broadway and Buttermilk'' take a glass of the buttermilk concocted by Mss Warda Howard, leading woman of the Roli Players There will be plenty of it served in a booth in the lobby by attractive young misses. And after you've quaffed the beverage, you'll know the reason why Miss How ard Is able to so truthfully delineate the chief character In Willard Mack s gem of a play You see. she was born ana brought up on a farm.
 The management prevailed upon her to devote some of, her few pre- cious hours-a leading woman is as busy as q provost marshal general these days---to making buttermilk, and as the part was an easy one for her to master. as she had won laurels playing it dn Springheld, she con. sented.
 Broadway and Buttermilk'' played here some time ago at Broadway prices. Following the policy which has already endeared the PoH Players to Bridgeportsrs, no expense was avoided to secure the sterling pro- duction for this city at the usual pop ular rates. The chance to, see th:s play so soon after it's production is an unusual one; but the new Lyric man asement has unusual access to all tha! IS best along Broadway and will bring best offerings here regardless of cost The play was written by Willard Mack, author of sKick h. and it is it's superior in many re- spects. It carries a great deal oi comedy but there are some splendid pa a-saEes which will show the players true caliber in dramatic depths.
 The plot centers asoout a New York . girl who is known to Broadway as Madame Nadine and to the residents of rural Killimuck as just plain Jane O'Day. Jane has her hands full from the minute she hits town, but she stfaightens things out in way that would spoil the evenings fun if 1, was to be revealed here. There is a triple e1opemcnt right m the, middle of it. Ever hear of a triple elope. ment before? Nc? Well, that's one indication that Broadway and But termilk" is crammed with surprises.
