LOCAL TALENT MAKES
 BIG HIT IN MIKADO

Gilbert and Sul1ivan's tunefuI opera ''Mikado.'' was sung by the Weber Opera Club at the High school Audi torium last evening and reflected great credit in every respect. The scenery, costumes and stage effects were splendid and would have been worthy of professionals.
 The melodious airs of Three Lit Sic Maids from School.'' For She is Going to Marry Yum Yum,'' "A Wondering MinstreI,'' 'Ive Got to Take Under My Wing Tra-la," ana others were effectively rendered. Miss Norma Weber and Mrs, Lena Mason BarnsIey were in fine voice and acted admirably in their respective roles of KatisEa and Yum-Yum. Robert Kirk, as "Nankf Poo," Eugene Hebbard as Pooh Bah,'' Ellis Lundberg, as ''Pish Tush,'' E, Kempfer McAvoy, as the ''Mikado," Mrs. Robert Willard as t'Pitti-Sing,' Margaret SwaHes as "Peep-Bo," did justice to their parts in voice and manner. The chorus sang with considerable fervor.
 Joseph Weller, as ''Ko-Ko,'' carried off the comedy honors, his duet with Miss Weber scoring particularly.
 Robert Weber, Jr., is to be commend ed for his efforts in effecting such an efficient organization, both before and behind the footlignes.
 The audience was appreciative and should have been larger and proba- bly, will be for the remaining per- fornances of tonight and tomorrow evening.

Better Feet Movement Effective
 One of the largest shoe stores in New York city has had to change it's stock of sfroes this year as re- suit of the Y. ". c. A. Better Feet Sensible S21oe'' campaign, according to the store manager. So many wotn- en and girls asked for a low-heeIed, broad-toed walking shoes that the store ordered in large stock of them and decreased the orders for the fan cier styles The New York stores carrying sensible shoes are showing the Y. W. C. A. shoe chart to con vert buyers to the improved styles. The charts show graphically the eff feet on the feet on the posture on the general health of high heels and pointed toes and in one case signifi- cantIy compare, by photos, the bound feet of the Chinese woman scorfed at in this country, and the equally mis-shapen feet of the American woman in the extreme fancy" shoe.
 A Foot and Shoe finn, produced by the Y w. C. A Physical Educa- tiona1 Department, is having wide circulation throughout the coun1ry and is being used by physicians and sanitarium directors The effect of the widespread and picturesque edu- cation on this subject, carried on through the gymnasium departments of local asoc5at1ons, thro1gh college student groups and through Health Week Campaigns, is so marked that the association expects to see a no ticeab1e change in woInan'S footwear before many years

In The TheaIerS
"WAY DOWN EAsTs'
SCORES AGAIN


 'fWay Down East" that quaint old play which opened a three days en- gagement at the Park theatre last evening, proved just as much of an attraction as it ever did, which is say ing a great deal.
 The play is admirably staged and has a very able cast which includes ''The Cherry Pickers' quartet and the Village Choir.
 Too much credit cannot be given to Lloyd G. Foster, who made the part of Dave everything the author must have intended. manly and sincere. Miss Bobby Gale is a pretty little miss and gave a splendid performance of the SQuire's niece. Richard Mack was very funny in that old classic Hi Holler." The balance of the company were excellent. A really good per formance of really great play. As good as ever and as clean as ever. Way Down East" will play tonight and tomorrow night and a special matinee tomorrow, Wednesday after noon.

LYRIC.

With action, comedy and pep Yie- ing with each other for supremacy, ''Parlor, Bedroom and Bath," the peer of all bedroom farces, scored a genu- inc success at the Lyric theater lasy night. The action is lively from beginning to end and the comedy ts of the kind that keeps the audience laughing constantly while the PoH Players inject the necessary pep to prevent the performance from lagging which it might do at times. The farce is well written and as inter- preted by the Players should go over big for the balance of the week. There is nothing in it that could be construed as objectionable and ths slapstick comedy so often resorted to to make an audience laugh is con spicuous by it's absence.
 Mary Ann Dentler as the reporter for a scandal sheet scores repeatedly. Almost the entire play centers about her work but Arthur Chatterdon, the leading man, has plenty of work to do. Jack McGrath has pleasing role this week and gives good ac- count of himself. Mabel Griffith is not so prominent but as usual she does her very best with what she has. Arthur Griffen brings out sev- eraI hearty laughs with his antics as a bellboy, and Rose Ludwig and Will liam Lemuel are prominently cast There are 13 characters in the cast and everyone does good work.
 Richard Irving loves his wife but in order to hold her love he must pre- tend that he has a past He writes letters to himself signing them with the name "tToodles." His wife calls in a handwriting expert who almost spills the beans but Irving's friend saves the day. It is necessary to in

Meeting of the Colored
Teachers of Richmond Co

The second meeting of the Richmond
County Teachers Association was held at
the colored graded school building Satur-
day, January Oath. The meeting was
opened at IL O'Clock with twenty six
teachers present.
A National Hymn" was sung, followed
by scripture reading and prayer. At this
period the president, Prof J. H. Floyd,
made some remarks, followed by remarks
by Miss S P Harris, telling of the illness
of her father and brother. Expressions
of sympathy were extended by the presi-
dent for the Association.
We then listened to words of thanks
from the Supervisor for the Red Cross
Seals sold by the various teachers Of the
County. The total amount reported from
the sale was $13450 She also urges that
those teachers who have not made full
reports return the seals at once. Before
| taking her seat she made some vital re-
marks about sanitation in the various
school rooms, and urged that the sanitary
conditions be improved
Just here the president gave a very
helpful lecture to the association, making
earnest appeals to each individual teach
er to strive to keep abreast Of the times
in our profession. He further asked that
we aid and encourage each other in the
educational Fl oppressive movement.
Supt. L. J. Bell was then presented to
the association. In his usual conscenti-
Gus way he spoke freely of Professional
and Spiritual Growth. To say that his
words were vital and appealed to each
teacher present, is but mildly speaking.
He also gave an illustrative lesson on how
to make correct monthly report Before
leaving this, he tried to assure himself
that making out the monthly report was
clear in the mind of each teacher.
Just how we'll he succeeded in driving
home to each teacher the Importance OF
accuracy along this line should be mani
tested by immediate improvement.

of gratitude for the Association for having
such instructive help coming to us from

ted by sections In Sec. " the word "ex-
