DEvEREUx PLAYERS
PRESENT PLEASING
PLAYS HERE MONDAY

Ibsen's attack on the hypocricy pre-
valent in many present day conven-
tions has set the minds of many people
thinking. The excellent portrayal of
Ghosts, which deals in mastery
manner with the artificiality Of do
nestle convention. by Clifford Dever-
eux and his company in the Earlham
chapel Monday night, provided the
most intense interest and food for
thought.
The literary excellence with which
Ibsen handled his difficult subject
was matched, in great measure, by
the wonderful character studies and
acting Of the Devereux players.
Miss Zinita Graf, as Mrs. Alvin, pos
sesses a wealth of those natural gifts
which are essential to the success of
an actress She is endowed with a
winsome personality, a captivating
stage presence, a voice that Is music
al and beauty Of countenance that
Is rare. Her acting is individual and
distinctive and captivates her aud
fence.
p" Devereux Forcefui
Clifford Devereux, who plays Os-
valid Alvin, the son who has inherited
the sins of father, has remarkable
ability, his acting is forceful, his per-
sonality impressive and his characters
we'll defined.
Not to be outdone by those taking
the leading part, Edmund Forde sue
ceeds in getting the best out of his
character acting, bringing the finest
details to fine advantage.
The versatility of the entire COM
pany was shown here Monday when
they presented the highly humorous
Her Husbands Wife,, by A. q.
Thomas. Miss Graf carried off the
part OF the worried wife wishing to
provide for her husbands welfare
after her death, in a brilliant and cap
tfvating manner
The comedy was replete with COM
plications. mirth provoking action
and humorous lines from beginning
to end one continuous laugh. 1t was
bright clean comedy with universal
appeal.

Buck Jones, the sensation of the
SCREEN" presented by William Fox in
cowboy, drama, scored a pronounced
hit Monday night, at the Murray
Theatre, as the hero of "Firebrand
Trevision," written by the noted
Charles Alden Settler and adapted Tor
the screen by Denison Cliff.
The story is one of conspiracy aimed
at both the property and the romance
of daring young westerner. 1t is
packed with wholesome excitement, in
GLIDING stunts by the star which are
marvellous in the perils they involve.
The interest never lags for an instant,
and the love theme is handled with
great cleverness.
Winifred Westover makes very
winsome sweetheart, who is wooed and
won in rather "cave man" fashion; and
the strong cast includes also Stanton
Heck, Katherine Van Buren,, Joe Ray
and Pat Hartman. Thomas Hebron

Company and president Of the Fred
erick Gilmore Company. AT least one
cargo is already listed from the West
Coast of Africa. This Is on the
schooner Horace M. Bickford, and
she is expected to be in Pensacola Try
about February s. A steamer, the
Polar Star, Is under charter to load
mahogany at West African port.
but It was not certain today whether
she would be allocated to the port Of
Pensacola or be sent to some Allan

she will unload at this point. This
ship was last reported at South
American port, and thence was char
tered to SAIL for the African port Of

by ship contractors. For this $22,-
100000 Uncle Sam got no ships, the
shipping board deeming it to be the
part Of wisdom to underwrite possl-
BILE losses Of shipbuilders, and re-
deem the governments moral obliga-
tions, rather than to spend millions
more and obtain ships that were not
needed.
In cases where the work had gone
so far that the board considered 1t
more economically sound to let the
contracts be completed, this course
was taken. As result up to Dec. 81
1,740 ships had been delivered 1870
hulls had been launched 2,2s1 keels
had been laid, and 81 more keels are
to he laid before the program is COM
pleted.
II all the ships are sold, will the
government get what they cost? 1t
will, II 1t gets what 1t is asking for
them. It cost the government from
5000 to 1925 per ton to construct the
steel ships. It is asking $210 to $3.50
per deadweight ton for them, or a
profit Of about SIS per ton. This
would give a profit on about 11,500,.
900 tons of steel vessels of $172,500,.
900. However, the shipping boart
doesn't make such claim, the state
ment at the offices being that II sole
the government expected to get abou
what they cost.
There Is sure to be loss Of $3.50,
100000 on wooden vessels, there be
ing about 100000 tons on whicl
there will be loss of at least S75 ,
ton IL they are sold at prices asked
1t cost $170 ton to build these ant
they are being offered at 800 to s11
per deadweight ton,
II SIS a ton profit Is made on stee
vessels (Which is doubtful) ther
would be enough profit to Offset tn
loss on wooden vessels, and also tn

didn't get, with a margin of $4,000
