comedy from the French Of Sacha
Guitry, adapted by Granville Bar
ker, at Belasco Theater this week.
Immediately preceding the engage
ment at the Belasco Theater, New
York, has divided his career prin-
cipally between the American and
London theaters. One of the most
frequent queries put to him is in
what respects rehearsals OF play
differ on these stages.
in America" declares Mr.. Atwill,
plays are practically rewritten at
rehearsals, while in London they
are hardly changed once the parts
are given to the players. Nearly
alT of the rewriting in London is
done before the first rehearsal
"A striking illustration Of this
fact might be cited in, the case
of cMilestones,' which enjoyed q run
of over twenty months in London.
This play, written by Arnold Ben
nett and Edward Knoblock, was re-
hearsed by a very strict director.
for four and a half weeks. L The
only thing changed from, the day
the play went into rehearsal UP to
the time OF production was two
pages of manuscript for the end
ing of the second act, which was
done by the authors overnight. -
Another London production that
might cite was The Poor Little
Rich Girl After that play went
into rehearsal, the only thing al
tered was a scene between the moth
er and the father which necess.-
tsted the rewriting OF but three
pages of manuscript. I have never
appeared in a London production
that was altered more.
IT approve very mucr OF an OUT
of-town premiere of a play, which
Is tie usual rule in this country.
In London, a play Is rarely pre-
sented out-of-town before its pre-
reiere there. although George Gros-
smith has lately rather generally
adopted this custom London pro-
ductions. Of course, are rehearsed
with great care and there are al
ways a series of dress rehearsals
such as Mr.. Belasco makes point
of here. -t#
That believe, is the only-reai
difference between the American
and London theater. everything is
about the same, except that In
London there are London and pro-
vincial actors. A London actor
rarely leaves that city but has his
house there and becomes a member
Of the community"
Now and then there is an artist
who tires of New York and leaves
behind him the glittering lights Of
Broadway to seek life in more nor
NAL, restful channels. Marcus Kel-
lerman, who will sing the role Of
Amonasro in Aida" this week. at
PolPs. Is one who has done this.
Mr.. Kellerman has had brilliant
success in She concert and operatic
world. but one day a millionaire
from Richmond heard him sing. He

Notes on the Convention +.

There were many contrasts between
tie meeting held Saturday by the anti
Townleyites and the Townley meeting
held some time since in the Free Press
office.
The Townley affair was a non-ad-
;vertised affair, and the public was ex-
chded. Several Linton persons hav-
ing business in the Free Press office
that day found the door locked, and
had some trouble in making their
wants known to those inside. The
meeting Saturday was known far and
wide and the public was welcomed.
That they took advantage of the well
come was shown by tho mammoth
crowd there who stayed through all
the hours Of the afternoon while the
business was being transacted. Doz-
ems Of visitors from every nook and

convention for the positions

convention for the positions.
For county auditor John F. Snyder
was unanimously endorsed.
Chas. B. Carley was the choice for
county treasurer.
A. H. Irvine drew the endorsement
for register Of deeds.
c. F. Wagner, clerk of court, and
Don Tracy, county Judge, wers en-
dorsed for election, both being one
term men.
Chas. Coventry was chosen rs q
candidate for states attorney. ~
H. H. Hanson was endorsed for re-
election as supt. Of schools.
The hardest fight of the entire con-
vention came on the nomination for
sheriff. w. Kyes and Edw. Miller
were placed in nomination, and some
'ive-wire speeches were put up for
the cotenders. The ballot resulted in
Miller's being the high choice, the de-
mands if the, south end of the county
for candidate, carrying weight with
many of the delegates. Mr.. Kyes
has since declared himself satisfied
with the result and has expressed the
hope that the people win get behind
the anti Townileyites and win.
L. duHeaume was endorsed by the
4th district delegates for commission
er, and j. Schall of Hague, was the
choice of the Sd district.
TIE convention also pledged support
to Kidder county's two anti-Townley
candidates for the legislature.
Permanent officials of the Emmons
County Anti -Townley Campaign Com
mittee were chosen as follows:
Chairman, j. I. Wells.
Vice Chairman, s. G.. Busby.
Secretary Treasurer, VIM. johnson.
These officials were empowered to
select two additional memebrs Of the
executive committee, of which COM
mittee they should be members.
At the time Of adjournment, dona-
tions toward campaign fund for the
organization were offered, and some
two hundred dollars raised in few
minutes. The executive committee
will perfect plan for securing funds
for the campaign, and will notify the
various precinct members of the com,
mittee.
The meeting adjourned just little
before six o'clock.

The convention then proceeded to
choose four delegates to the republi-
can convention at Minot to be held
May 18th and 18th. They were as
follows: a.. Macdonald, VIM. Baxter.
Vim. Clevsringa and F. B. Streeter.
The convention then proceeded to
endorse two candidates for the legis-
.laturs as Emmons. county's share Of
the district delegation. Several
names were proposed, and the dele
gates proceeded to ballot on same !.
John j. Baumgartner received the
highest number Of votes, and F. b.
Streeter, the second highest number.

turned his head. It seems certain that
this year will be the turning point
In fact, many names on the petitions
OF the various delegates are eye
openers. Men who only few months
ago were ardent Townleyites have
reached the stage where they gladly
put themselves on record in black and
white.
There is little over two months in
which to make the fight. The Town.
leyites will fight with every means at
their command, and their fighting abil-
ity must not be over estimated. But
an organized offensive for the next
two months will turn the trick,
The Record man has been the center
OF attack for several years on the part
OF the various local Townley bench
men. 1t will now be fought to con-
clusion. The Townleyites have their
newspaper here, and it is up to them
to make their attack. The Record
will not hesitate to put our claims
where all can see and read, and where
there will be no chance to side-step or
equivocate. And the people will ex-
pect the Townley bunch to do the
same.
