Perhaps no stronger estimate could
be made of the merit of the Clifford
Devereux Company, which appears at
the Sheridan Coliseum, Fort Hays,
Kansas Normal on June 20 and 9th,
with matinee on the 9th, than the
fact that they have been invited to
give performances at Columbia Uni
versity, Harvard University, Dart
mouth College, University of Virginia,
University of West Virginia, Univer-
sity of Vermont, University of Texas
and every leading State college in the
country. The fine quality of the or

ganization is amply manifested in the
following tribute in Harper's Weekly
from the pen of Mr.. Norman Hapgood
the editor and distinguished critic,
after witnessing the performances of
Twelfth Night at Columbia Univer-
sity, New Y ork City.
Life in the United States lacks no
desirable element more than it LACKS
art, and yet even in the arts we ac-
casionally find almost by accident,
something of very high quality.
The Devereux Company will serve
as an illustration. They are giving

competence that is extremity rare in
