IF you should hear Charles Co.
burn greet Mrs. Coburn as
L "Rosalind" and Mrs. Coburn
should retaliate with Orlando,
YOU will know at once that the pro-
ducers of THE Better ole" are
barking back to the time they first
appeared in "As You Like It," one
| summer night in 1906, when Mr.:
Coburn was playing Orlando and
Mrs. Coburn, dark-haired wisp of
girl named Ivah Wills, was play
ing the fair Rosalind
That first performance of AS You
Like It," in which they appeared
together. will always be memorable
and significant to Mr.. and Mrs. Co.
burn, because they fell in love with
each other, off stage and on, and
also conceived the idea of giving
alfresco performances of Shakes
peare-an idea that eventually de-
veloped into the Coburn Players,
who gave productions of Shakes
peares masterpiece, on the lawns
of colleges and educational insti-
tutions from one end of the country
; to the other, affording many persons
in out-of-the-way places their first
opportunity to see these plays.
The performance that made so
many momentous changes in the
lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn was
given on the grounds of the coun-
try club at Amsterdam. N. Y. Pre-
vious to that time Ivah Wills and
Charles Coburn had been members
of summer stock company IN
Knoxville, Tenn, and while they
discovered that they had mary
things in common, they were moi
at that time particularly interested
in one another. After that frs:
season Miss Wills went with +. H.
Sothern's company during the. wiz,
ter. But the next summer found
Mr.. Coburn and Miss Wills to-
together again as members OF the
summer stock company in Knox
vile.
But these two were not ordinary
stock actors. They were chock full
of ideals and ambitions, and both
wanted to do worthwhile things on
the stage, such as Shakespeare's
plays and the famous Greek plays OF
tradition. Small chance for that sort
of thing was afforded in stock
company. But they did not despair,
and when the opportunity came tor
Mr.. Coburn to play Orlando and
Miss Wills Rosalind in the open
air performance of LAS You Like 1t"
on the lawn of the Country club at
Amsterdam they seized it eagerly,
thus unknowingly paving the way
for the realization of their cherished
ambitions.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn were mar
ried that year (l9O6) in Baltimore,
and then they organized their open
air Shakespearean company and be-
gan to play summer engagements.
In their first company were such
well-known actors as Fuller Mel
lish, Royden Erlynne and Charles
Kent. They played season of 2S
weeks in Macbeth" touring the
middle west, being we'll received
everywhere. They have given
Shakespearean performances at 90
universities and colleges, IS state
normal schools and Is associations
of an educational nature.
Strictly speaking, their New York
debut was made in Electra" at the
Hudson theater in 1911, Mrs. Co.
burn making a most favorable inl-
preston in the title role, and Mr.,
Coburn giving virile performance
of Orestes. Subsequently they gave
many performances of Shakespeare

and Greek plays at Columbia univer-
sity. By this. time the fame of the
Coburn Players was growing, but
they still had to play in back roles
during the winter months to keep
the pot boiling for the summer per-
formances of the plays they loved
to do. But they were on the alert
for the second opportunity when it
came.
1t came in 1915, when they recog-
nized the wonderful possibilities of
The Yellow jacket" for open air
performances. This beautiful and
artistic play had been an utter fail
ure in New York, and it was not
difficult for Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn
to acquire the rights to the play
from Harris & Selwyn. They then
gave q alfresco performances OF
The Yellow Jacket" in various
parts of the country, the play being
immensely popular wherever pro-
duced.
During the winter of l9l5-l9l6
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn booked tours
of THE Yellow Jacket" on the
road, and it was widely acclaimed
by the cities outside of New York,
They decided to attempt the diff
cult task of bringing the play back
to New York and giving it another
metropolitan trial. This determine
ton met with the enthusiastic sup
port of those critics and discriminat-
ing playgoers who had always de-
plored the New York failure of such
a worth while entertainment.
The rest is pretty we'll known to
the New York playgoing public.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn began their
season by giving 10 matinees at the
Cort theater, Mr.. Coburn appearing
as Chorus and Mrs. Coburn as Chez
Moo. The play was an instant sue
cess, and it remained in New York
for &c weeks at the Cort, Harris
and Liberty theaters.
In the winter of 1917 Mr.. and
Mrs. Coburn gave the first perform
ance in this country of Moliere'S
The Imaginary Invalid" winning
the enthusiastic praise of the New
York critics, several of whom pro-
nounced it the best thing that had
been seen in New York in 10 years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn also gave the
only performance ever given OF
Percy Mackaye's "The Canterbury
Pilgrims" which they played at
Harvard and Yale universities and
at other colleges. On the evening

the money on food for the kitty
if Miss Lamar should say that, it

French Lead Americans
in Cross Country Race

Preliminary tests to the Inter-AUied
Olympiad, to be held in Pershing
stadium, just outside Paris, about
June /, easily gave the French the
lead for the military c~ross-country
championship.
Eight runners from the American
army competed. Although they were
unframed, and six of them had just
come all the way from the Rhine, they
made a showing against the 400
French runners.
The Yanks promise a surprise to
the French runners when the Olym-
pad is held.
The first American to finish was
William Kennedy of Port Chester, N.
Y, Twenty-third Engineers. He won
the Marathons at st. Louis in 1913.
at Chicago in 1914 and at Boston in
1917.
The race was run over a heavy
course, due to mud and rain. The
distance was - kilometers Th
miles: M. d. Huet. a Frenchman,
was first, doing the distance in 46:19
minutes. Kennedy finished thirty
third in the field of 40S.

Hopes are strong among the French
that they will do better in tennis
events in the Olmpiad than they did in
a recent open tournament held in
Cannes. There the old American
champion, Captain X. Norris Williams
emerged victorious. The French
army's best men are Decugis Germot

In what proved to be the biggest

last night, shaded his opponent. Kid
Potty, of this city, In the main eight
round bout. The going was 50 close
and so full of action hat a majority
of the fight fans who witnessed the
bout were rather uncertain in their
minds just who they would give 1t to-
After considering the strong and weak
points OF each ma shown in the bout
1t developed that Curry had things
just a little in his favor
The scrap was without a doubt one
of the fastest and even matched ever
staged here. Both boys were willing
to mix UP matters and the bout was
| satisfactory from start to finish.
Sailing or lack OF action was not
known to either man. Both fought
| clean and hard. Each realized what
a victory for him meant and gave
| every ounce of strength he could COM
mand in delivering his blows.
Curry showed the better general

blows count. Potty In his rushes
would often connect with the Islander
but he misjudged the distance several
| times with the result that his At
tempts were clean misses. Before he
| could again gain control over himself
| Curry had landed a jab or so on him.
Potty was willing enough to fight
and seemed to be waiting for a chance
TO land n big kayo all through the
bout. Although Curry probably had
the same intentions he was more OF
the aggressive and forced the fgh
considerably.
1t was apparent throughout the
fight that Curry and Potty were quite
evenly matched, but Curry, h more
scientific OF the two men. held HIM
| self under control more than Potty.
| Tho Staten Islander did not appear to
be phased in the least by Potty's in
termittant onrushes and outwardly
as in the first.
AS the law does not permit the ref
cree to designate the winner. a large
variety of views were expressed by
those who witnessed h fight. Fight
enthusiasts who follow the game
regularly considered only two pos
sibilities: a draw, and Curry by a
shade.
The expression which would almost
fit the fight would be-: IF it wasn't
