philadelphia theatregoers will again have
the plesaure of welcoming that interesting
actor Arthur Byron. when he mes to the
Carrick Monday night with David Beasco's
presentation of THE Boomerang" For
during the course Of his long and honorable
career before the footlights Mr.. Byron has
many times played here with some of the
foremost stars and attractions Of the day.
II ls a wel-known fact that as Doctor
Sumner. the specialist in love and jealousy
cases, in "The Boomerang" this popular
actor has made one of the hits of his career.
which success was only to have been ex-
pected Of one coming from such a notable
theatrical ancestry He is the son of
oliver Doud Byron, well-known leading
man of a generation ago, and brother-in-
law Of Ada Rehan.
Young Arthur made his first stage ap-
pearance at the age of sixteen, supporting
his father, during a school vacation of two
weeks In ACROSS the Continent" II was
a matter of sentimental and supersti-
tion with the elder Bryon that his son
should make his debut in this pay, for in
Il two Of the noted players of our stage
Ada Rehan. his aunt and William Gillette
had made their first appearance and its
Adams, John Drew and Mrs. Fiske. Then,
guided by the advice of his father, Byron
ioined a stock company in San Francisco
. in which he was associated at various
times with E. J. Henley. II. L. Davenport,
Aubrey Boucicault Jeffreys Lewis and
julius Kahn, now a Congressman from
California.
Il have appeared in Philadelphia on many
occasions" said Mr.. Byron recently "n

cler.' In the latter piece played Coquelin's
part of the dog"
Mr. Byron for period of his professional
life always appeared in the cast of a
new Clyde Fitch play whenever It was
produced.
MY association with Clyde Fitch" said
the actor. ~''proved to be one of the most
delightful and profitable parts of my entire
stage career. Fitch was one of the finest
stage directors have ever met. He knew
what he wanted he understood his actors
and he always got remarkable results. He
was working on new play for my use just
before he died"

FRIENDS FRIENDS OF KAISER
Will Refuse to BE Drafted Into Army
for NonCombatant Work.

one hundred members of the So
ciety of Friends, representing almost
every state in the union, held an in
dignation meeting on the campus or
Haverford college and denounced the
ruling reported to have been made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder
which will compel conscientious OBJ
jectors against war to serve in the
army as noncombatants. The protest
ants are members of the Friends
Reconstruction unit and are training
at Haverford college for the work of
rebuilding war-torn Europe.
The speakers, who seemed to voice
the sentiments of all present, made it
clear that the Society of Friends is
not only unalterably opposed to actual
fighting, but is decidedly against as
sisting the army to fight even in the
smallest detail.
DIR. Henry j. Cadbury, acting sec
retary of the American Friends serv-
ice commission, and l., H.ollngsworth
Wood, q prominent New York mem
Der of the Society of Friends, declared
that General Crowder's ruling is con-
trary to the spirit and wording of the
draft law and to the principles of the
Society of Friends. DIR. Henry j. Cad
bury said:
Some of you have been required by
the war department to make affidavit
upon printed form that you are con-
scientiously opposed to participation
in war, but now, apparently, the pro-
vost marshal general would ask you
to violate your affidavit by so par
ticipating."
Doctor Cadbury said, however, that
judgment must be suspended until the
correctly verified details have been
learned. He then said:
apparently they do not understand
that our opposition to war is real
that we object not merely to fighting,
but equally to helping others to fight.
know you, and know you won't par
ticipate in war in any FORM
j. Il. Gannett of New York city
said the Society of Friends will posi-
lively oppose with all its power the
attempt to force conscientious OBJ
jectors in it's ranks to do any military
duty whatsoever. We object to being
compelled to assist any army to
fight"
