ADJUSTMENTS
New Lyric.

One of the most promising events Of
the local theatrical season Is that Of the
coming of Walter Hast's production of
Cosmo Hamilton's m~uch-talked-of
comedy, Scandal which has a record
Of seven months of capacity business
to its credit at the Garrick theater,
Chicago. Scandal" with Emma Bunt-
ing as the featured player, will be seen
at the Lyric theater Monday and Tues
day, Nov. 3 and 4, with a special matt
nee Tuesday, and 1t is quite safe to
saying hat 1t is staged with a gen.
crosby and a pictorial excellence that
emphasizes the new progressive
methods of Walter Hast, the producer.
Mr.. Hamilton has made Beatrix Van
derdyke, the feminine principal charac-
ter in his play, the most spoiled girl In
America, who does whatever h wants
to do without asking a~nybody's permits
sion. Mr.. Hamilton attempts to show
two s~upercivilized people Of the oppo-
site sex, with all the advantages Of
education and wealth, crumble into pri-
mevality and return to the jungles
under the stress Of wounded vanity. He
makes these two people find themselves
in finding each other and come back
to a mUch truer and sincere plane,
through the one thing In all the world
which humanizes us all-love.
A cast of parexcellence will be seen
in support Of Miss Bunting.

REVISING THE PRAYER BOOK

1t will be interesting to see what changes have been made bv
tne revsonists OF the Episcopal church, Just adjourned, in the
BOOK, OF Common Prayer. Such a task was like an ATTEMPT TO
revise the smile on the lips of Leonardo de Vincis Mona Lisa"
ike improving a delicate Dresden vase; a Cremona violin bv
suaofvarlus' 1t IS a hazardous proceeding, no matter how care
July discharged. The Book OF Common PRAYER has been con-
sioered the most perfect and beautiful Of all productions in Eng
nsn, no. even St James translation of the Bible equalinp il. The
ngn-water mark in Greek classic literature was reached in the
'filogy OF Aeschylus, and he would be a hardy if not a foolhardy
schoiar VINO would attempt to improve, revise or change a line
IN either OF the three plays. The revision, so far as has been
indicated, is in the line of condensation and the elis;on Of nm.
necessary repetition. For utiltaran purposes this NAV have been
Iexcusaole and even wise and necessary. ANYHOW. those who are
welded to the present text and who look upon anv change q c a
sacrilege, Will, IN a few years, be hence and awav and future
generations may esteem the revised edition as highly. We are ly-
ing IN a world OF change, and the mutations of time let nothing
lescape their touch. The Book of Common PRAYER was NOT nress,
iagented into eminence. 1t won its way through merit Marv
tnings IN literature are given a false appraisement. pious critics
are never tired telling us that "Davd's Lament for Saul ,nd
Jonathan is an example of the most profound and poignant natbos
10 be met with. Candor will reduce the estimate vastly Had Il
been written nowadays by the grocers apprentice in the bioh
4school it would be considered creditable to him and worth, ~ z.
author. =" "'
Those who pick up the revised edition of the PRAYER RooL
will do so with fear and trembling. Saul was not worthy ot
6Dawds lament. he was a t%reacherous, woud-be assassin who
tried to assassinate David while he played before him on his h,rn
on three or four occasions by pinning him to the wall with HE
spear. David may not have been as good a harpist as he is s,iI
to nave been. The harp is not a solo instrument unless in the
hands OF a master like Angelo Cortese, and they didn't know how,
to build harps in DavidIs day, There are MANY things in tbis vorlJ
that are being accorded praise or blame without deserving i Ot
these is not the Prayer Book. ~

1.-THE Naughty Wife. the farce by
Fred Jackson which will be presented
by Selwyn G. Co., at the Lyric Fri

Once farce has been seen it is not

is continuous. Moreover It is good,
wholesome fun that depends more on
the situations than anything else. Not
to say that the play is not filled from
start to finish with the snappiest Of

ever, has rightfully been declared often
to rest more on the situation than the
lines and no where is that better illus

PEDIGREED PEAS HELP
HIGH PRODUCTION PLANS

Not satisfied with pedigreed barley,
pedigreed wheat, and pedigreed oats,
the agronomists of the Wisconsin Elk
pertinent station have added pedigreed
peas to service iii the campaign for
higher production. he pedigreed
strains have been developed by e. j.
Delwiche of the agronomy department
at the Ashland Branch station. The
seed peas were first placed in the hands
of the growers two years ago, after six
years breeding work had been placed
upon them. Enough is now available
to plant 300 acres The pedigreed
seed yields to 5 bushels an acre more
than common varieties and is far
superior in quality.
The decrease in acreage of field peas
during the last few years, despite the
fact that Wisconsin has the reputation
of growing the best crop in the United
States, is due to the poor quality Of
seed which farmers have been forced
to use, in the opinion of r. A. Moore
of the College of Agriculture. 1t was
this condition which led to breeding up
the new strains, The Scotch and green
peas have been much improved and
pedigreed strains of these and Of
crossbred varieties have been devel-
oped.
Members Of the Wisconsin Expert
ment association have on hand about
$50 bushels of the purebred seed.
The list of growers can be obtained
from r. A. Moore, College of Agricul-
ture, Madison.

M. cIemenceau in Discussing the
Question for the First Time Brings
Out Fact That He Is for
British Policy.

Paris, Dec. 31--The declarations of
Premier Clemenceau and Foreign
Minister Pichon in the chamber of
deputies gave a rallying point in the
form of the first Official statement on
the plans of the French government
since the American delegates arrived.
The statements disclosed that
France had determined upon it's line
of action of practically all the ques-
tons involved, including society Of
nations on which NJ. Pichon said the
details were now being formulated.
British and France Agreed.
Premier Clemenceaus statement on
the freedom Of the seas was the first
announcement from high authorita-
tive source. This was accepted as
showing that the British and French
viewpoints were in accord
M. Clemenceau's reference to his
talks with President Wilson indicated
that they had tended to bring out the
significance of the French premier's
previous conversations with the Brit
ish prime minister regarding the ac-
ton of the British feet during the
war, without which he admitted,
France could not have continued the
war, as we'll as his favorable attitude
toward the future British feet.
American Stand Uncertain.
The sentiment prevails in confer
ence circles here that the American
attitude will not become definite until
further knowledge is obtained con.
corning the conversations between
President Wilson. Premier Clemenceau
and Premier Lloyd George.
M. Clemenceau's overwhelming ma
jority on the vote of confidence in the
Chamber of Deputies makes him a.
commanding figure in France, similar
to that of Lloyd George as result of
the British elections 1t is expected
that the names of the French peace
delegates will soon be announced as
result of the strong support given to
