FIFTH DISTRICT MAY
REACH s110,000,00O
WI Probably BE Several Days Yet
Before Accurate Figures Can
he Made.

Liberty bond subscription totals
yesterday reached s107 900, 900 for the
Fifth Federal Reserve district on the
final count. II was announced by Gov
ernor George j. Seay. of the Rich
mond Reserve bank. This amount is
not final, however, since the subscrip-
tons received in the Washington banks
and trust companies on the last day
of the loan have not been reported
here. but are in the hands OF the
treasury department These banks.
in order to take advantage of the last
few hours OF the loan. did not report
the funds received to the Reserve
bank here. but turned them directly
into the United States treasury ow-
ing to pressure of business the treas
ury department has not been abb to
state the exact amounts received in
this way. but 1t is assured that the
hnaf count will bring the returns for
the Third district up to the $4,000
900 mark.
Many Richmond banks have begun
work to secure appointm ents from the
treasury department to serve as de-
positories for that part of the liberty
loan that will not be used by the gov
eminent just at this time. Various
banks over the country are to be desig-
noted for this purpose. It Is under
stood. and the larger banks. which
have sent in enormous subscriptions.
will not be compelled to turn the
funds over to the government imme-
diately, but will keep them on de-
post. A system OF equity will be
worked out. 1T is thought. by which
as much as possible OF the surplus
funds will be left on deposit in the
various larger banks.
Governor Seay and his assistant.
George II. Keesee, were still working
on the figures late last night. Mr.
keesee said he estimated the total
finally to be 10000 900. The quota
apportioned this district was a mini
mum sum OF $4,000. 900. and a maxi
mum OF $1o2. 900. so the amount
is approximately $4,000. 900
more than the maximum amount call
ed for by the government. This does
not include a large number of sub
scriptions which came too late to be
included. These will be held here.
said Mr.. Keesee. until instructions are
from Washington. when they
will probably be returned to the send
ers.
onfcers OF this district are highly
Eratif1ed at the splendid showing made !
throughout the district, especially here
In Richmond. whose great record 10

NEW TENOR DISCOVERED
IN RED ROSE" PERFORMANCE

The outstanding feature of the very
f1ne first night performance of THE
Red Rose by the Comic Opera Play
ers at the Academy last night was
the discovery of the fact that Henry
Lawson, the dminutive chorus man
i to whom we called particular atten-
ton the first night the company open
ed here. is not only the good tenor
singer we predicted he was, but is
also a clever actor, and last night
grabbed the singing honots of a spir-
tied performance in which practically
every member of the company and
chorus shone resplendentiy. Again
We say that Richmond theatergoers
are indeed fortunate in having this
really talented organization here for
the summer months and packed
houses ought to greet them each
night and at everv matinee. The
Red Rose" has been seen here twice
before, but was never better acted,
sung or staged than It was last night
From the rise to the fall of the cur
tain the entire company worked with
a snap and vim.
After two weeks of small parts. in
which she had little to do, Myrtle
Jersey. the prima donna. comes into
her own again as Lola. the artist 8
model. and charmed with her delight
full voice and pleasing personality
Seldom has q company ever appeared
here that had SO many fine character
actors on its roster. and the particu-
larry good acting OF Alice Hills and
Matt Hanley last night brought 70
mind and eye memories of dear old
Broadway and metropolitan produc-
lions there.
Roger Gray and Dan Marble az two
American millionaires with sporting
procliyities lived up to their previous
regulations, Mr.. Gray In his imper-
sonation of Harry Lauder being a 10y
forever.
Billie Bush contributed her usual
pep and ginger as Gyp; Royal Cut
ter did his best work here In a silly
ass English role and Ernest Geyer
and Annette contributed their bit 10
the finished performance The cho-
rus worked with plenty of spirit and
attacked the lively and tuneful chorus
es as II singing them all season. Alto
gether. The Red Rose" Is a fine eve
ning's entertainment. filled with plen-
ty of good singing. fast and furious
fun, with an orchestra led In great
style by Mr.. Nef, and again a new
tenor has appeared on the horizon
who ought to climb up In his chosen
profession as long as he keeps the
pace he set last night It's good
show, well sung and acted and worthy
OF big weeks patronage.
