secure members to the Hereford Club
In way Of explanation We might say

proposition that IL would be poor
policy to coax any boy to Join.
In order to introduce the work .
few Of the boys Of the county were
nads acqnsinted with the plan and
re are ready st any time TO explain
the working plan. Eleven pure bred
cows with calves by their sides have
been distributed as follows:
White River Club-Mastsr Merrill
Mcdonald. Master Vandenburg. Mas
ter VIM. Day. Master Holl.nbach,
Geo. and Russell Keller, VIM. Jensen
and Raymond Kimball.

Carl Peterson, Master Frazer and
Master Crissman.
The following have registered but
have not yet recslved their cows:
Master Liggett, Miss Hutchinson,
Miss Jansen, Miss Marshall, Master
Orr, Master Weed and the two Downs
boys.
Two weeks were spent In company
with Guy Morrison. State Live Stock
Specialist from the Extension Divis-
lon OF 8. b. 8. College In travelling
over eastern South Dakota, Iowa and
Nebraska selecting pure breds for the
steven boys who bought cattle.
These cattle are not the most ex-

one line in the play. which ran, 1T is
an easy matter l insisted on inject
ing into it the rhythmic music of blank
verse. Edward Rose, who was our
stage director, would say to me, Come.
Dodson, get off the Acropolis. Take
Off your sandals. Come on out on
Broadway and talk conversationally.'
AS absurd as il may sound. II took
me weeks to achieve a conversational
tone in reading that one little phrase
in Richard Carver which fell to my
lot. The cause Of my trouble lay In
the fact that one can never read
blank verse conversationally. Its de-
liverance Is not the natural deliver
ance required by modern drama, and
Il is just for this reason that an actor
who plays Shakespeare for a long pc
riod OF time falls into pedantic read
ing and theatrical habits which he
finds a great handicap TO achieving
the naturalness necessary to the sue
cess of a modern role.
"Of course one learns much from

to say. but l do not agree with the

Colville, a specialist in this sort of
entertainment, carried a company
over the country appearing in the old
pieces Willie Edouin asking for his
lumber William" which means his
board bill, was the star. OF them
Babes in the Wood" was possibly
the most popular.
It was not such wit as that quoted
from Mr.. Edouin which brought for
tune to these belated specimens of bur
lesque, but rather songs so popular
as Baby Mine" and whoa, Emma"
which had Just then begun to sweep
the country. Both were, by the way,
importations from England. Burlesque
passed away in the early sos, with
only Cheever Goodwin's American
specimen, "Evangeline," to reappear
occasionally in revival. But that was
little afflicted with the pun. When
Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas de-
lighted the public so much there was
no demand for the older forms. And
the pun in Gilbert's humor was not
important. It Is true that the trustee
Of beauty asks Of Patience, "Do you
yearn?" and that she answers. 1T earn
my living" But that IS not a serious
breach of the highest laws of humor.
The pun is rare to-day; so for that
matter are theatre topics in June else
its modest temperance at the Henry
Miller Theatre might not have been
discussed at all.

ton the chief charm of the young folk
on our stage to-day is their natural
ness-their freedom from affectation
and theatricalism. Their very emanci-
patton from the rigid discipline OF the
dramatic training OF the past genera
ton is responsible for their chief
charm"
In the engagements which followed
that of Mr.. Mitchell in "Richard Car
vel" he saw to 1t that there was no
classic drama, and in time he was able
TO work out of the difficulties in which
the long years spent in the deliverance
Of blank verse plunged him, as was
| proved by his subsequent association
with Arnold Daily In the first group
OF Shaw plays presented in America
and which brought to that playwright
our first appreciation OF the delicious
| deviltry of his satire. That Arnold
Daily approached the presentation OF
Shaw with some trepidatlon was mani
fest in the fact that the first OF his
plays offered C'Candida') was billed
for a single matinee. So great was its
success that II played twenty-five con-
secutive weeks.
Mr.. Mitchell's next experience was
with Nine. Nazlmova in a group of
lbsen plays, an association which
lasted two years and brought much de-
! light to him. In more recent years he
has appeared under the Selwyn man
agement with Jane Cowl in within
the Law" playing In this crook melo-
drama for seventy-siX weeks in New
York and forty in Boston. He was
al
THE Eternal Magdalen" and with
Lou Tellegen in Taking Chances"
but only once in his long and brilliant
| career did Mr.. Mitchell have the pleas
ure OF appearing under the Belasco
management before he was engaged
for Dark Rosaleen." That once was
with Nance O'Neil i'm THE Lily"
which Mr.. Belasco produced in 1912.
