Sir Herbert was veritable chameleon.
Alike in stage physique and in dra-
matte psychology, he could change with
absolute completeness and absence Of
effort.
1t was as a manager, however, that
Tree most displayed his American char
acteristics. His notions of dramatic
art were primitive in simplicity, his
taste ran TO the melodramatic (recall
his production of "The Merchant Of
Venice"), he liked to put on "big" pro-
auctions, and he was generally success
full.
Losing Sir Herbert Tree, the stage
loses an able leader, an indefatigable
worker and a charming personality. In
speeches which Sir Herbert delivered
here on his last visit, he was fond Of
saying that Shakespeare was England's
greatest ambassador to the United
States. It is equally certain that Sir
Herbert was one of the pleasantest and
most acceptable ambassadors that Eng
land sent US in recent years.

been watching the performance inter-
estedly with his youthful owner from
one of the front seats. Finally, unable
to control himself any longer, he ran
on the stage and offered his services to
Launcelot Gobbo. Gobbo stopped his
speech long enough to persuade the
dog that the stage was no place for
him. Reluctantly the dog departed. But
at the end of the performance he came
around again to bid US farewell. We
potted him and comforted him, and

There may have been nothing in
name when William Shakespeare, the
we'll known author-manager, was big
man in the theatrical field, but our
present day managers seem to think
differently. No manager really amounts
to anything these days unless he has a
theatre or two named after him. In the
fall the public will be greeted by three
new theatres-the Selwyn, the Henry
Miller and the Jack Norworth-addng
to the already lengthy list of the Shu-
bert, the Cort, the Morosco, the Conan
& Harris, the Belasco and Days.
Four theatres in town are named
after actors-the Booth, the Garrick,
the Maxine Elliott and the George NJ.
Cohan.
An expert in heredity assures US
that none of the theatres are ever in
fuenced by their names; it's their en-
yironment that makes them or breaks
them. Which leads up to interesting
speculation regarding the names of
the two new Shubert theatres-one in
Forty-fourth Street and tother IN
Forthwith Street-which are to open
in the fall, and are as yet unchrlstened.
We suggest Shubert the Second and
Shubert the Third.

514 Acres Bring
Fifty Thousand

Several farms in the Middletown
section have been sold recently at
high figures but the highest price
vet obtained was paid last week
when the 514-acre Nowland prop
erty at Armstrong; Corner was
sold for $4,000. 1t has long been
known as one of the most produc-
tive farms in lower New Castle
and a few years ago yielded 5000
bushels of wheat. The farm was
owned by the heirs of the late
Henry A. Nowland, one of whom
is the wife of the purchaser, Dr.
Edward Mr.. Vaughan of Middle
town. The farm was assessed at
$23 ,2S5 but, with the present and
prospective prices of wheat and
corn and other farm produce, DR..
Vaughn is thought to have made a
safe investment.
