HIGH SCHOOL PLAY WAS z>1z: ~z E
A GREAT SUCCESS
Young Actors Amused Huge Crowd
at Princess Theater on Last
Saturday Evening. I

"A capacity auQlence was present
at the Princess Theater last Satur-
day night at the production Of the
high school play 'What Happened to
Jones'" The play itself bore out its
reputation Of being a scream;
there was not dull moment during
the evening. And it was we'll pres
ented. ..-.~. -.
It is sometimes necessary to make
allowances when young people pro-
duce a play like that one, but not so
in this case. The fact that the play
ers were so young-not all are even
high school seniors-and that they
have had little or no experience,
only adds to the praise that is due
them.
The scene of the play is in the
home of the henpecked Professor
Goodly who is expecting his brother,
a bishop from Australia. There are
several daughters, one of whom is
in love with Richard Heatherly The
professors maiden sister-in-law is
an old sweetheart Of the bishop.
Richard persuades the professor
to attend a boxing contest Gin the
interest Of science" The contest is
raided by the police and in his flight
down the waterspout the professor
is somewhat disfigured. He and
Richard reach home safely and are
surprised to have Jones follow them
all the way from the contest to
their parlor-via the window. Jones
claims to be salesman of hymn
books and playing cards, but in or
der to escape the police, the. pro.
fessor's wife and others, he pretends
to be the bishop. He succeeds very
well till the real bishop arrives and
even then he holds his own. The
manner in which Jones makes the
best Of situation and keeps out of
difficulty is clever and amusing; the
only ones who almost catch him are
Cissy "the girl who went to Vassar''
and Helma, the Swede maid-he
makes love to the one and brihAs
the other. At the end, Jones reveals
his identity, the bishop and Richard
each gets his wife and everything is
fine.
Alvin Engelson, as Jones, was the
real star of the cast-carrying out
his part in fine shape. Others who
played their parts especially well
were Alma 1saacson, as Helma the
maid, Celia Scott as Cissy, Helen
Holte as the old maid, and Adolph
Toftey as the bishop. But they de-
serve no more special mention than
the others, for each and every mem.
ber of the cast performed in a very
creditable manner. Randolph Sam.
skar as the professor; Inez Samskar
as his wife; Thomas Carter as Rich
ard; Earl Woods as policeman; Clark
Pinkerton the Indian; Ruth Ander.
son as Marjorie, Richards fiancee;
and Hilda Lief as Minerva, the stud.
ious daughter of the professor.
1t proved a very enjoyable evening
for Grand Marais and credit is due
to the members of the cast and also
those who trained them.

MOST RUTHLESS BANDIT
 KILLED BY MEXICANS

MEXICO CITY, Feb, 2&- Despat- ches from Uruapan tell of the death, while attacking the Tepenahua ranch, of Jesus Cintora, regarded as one of the most ruthless bandits in the Mich oacan- Jalisco region. Most of Gin tora's followers, together with an other rebel leader, Gordiano Gonsalcl, are said to have surrendered.
 An optimistic note has been sound eel by Brigadier General Pablo Con- zalez, operating in the oil regions, who says that for more than two months, owing to the vigilance of government forces, the Pelaez rebels have attacked neither oil camps nor oil company paymasters. He reports that the rebel chief, Pedro Mega, has surrendered, together with so follow CTS. He operated along the banks of Inc Panuco.

PLACER FIELD BURIED UNDER
 A LAVA SHEET

ProspcctorS who recently arrived at Nome told of great valley of placer gold ore believed buried beneath a huge age-old blanket of lava which stretches for miles along the righs shore of the Inmachuk River in tho Kotzebue Country north of Nome.
 Gold bearing gravel has been found by miners who have attempted to tun- nel under the rim of the lava sheet. Nearly every pan of dirt they took from under the edges contained gold prospects in some quantity, they said.
 Belief that the lava-covered valley contains great wealth is strengthened by the fact that several gold deposits found on the Inmachuk River were b. cated near the mouths of streams which have cut their way through the lava during the hundreds of years be- lieved intervening since the volcanic outburstS.
 Drills will Not penetrate the lava, the prospectors said. One "sourdough" miner, H. L. Stull said he tried tc break the lava with power drill last summer but failed when he found his drill striking seams and cracks which prevented it from boring straight. An other prospector lost his equipment at a depth of 102 feet
 Blasting will be tried next summer to get through the lava to the floor of the valley. Stull believes there arc millions of dollars worth of gold on the floor and will ship blasting out fit to the Kotzebue early in the spring.
