IT HONOR bright, and 'pon my word, ITI MT. Robert Adams, better S 2 known to his intimates as Bob" is the very last person in all the wide, wide world whom you'd ever think would be mixed up' in ento- mological things-in other words, an "entomologist," with a particular lean- ing toward the coleopatra, laboriously dissecting a leptinotarsa decemlineta which, being translated into plan, hon. est st-to-goodness English, means "po- tato bug" and pasting the component parts of it's anatomy on an immaculate sheet of cardboard! For, of all the elegant, charming and aesthetic young men whom it has been my good for tune to meet, this same MT. Bob" Ad- ans is one of the most delightful; his manner and his appearance indicate perfect Beau Brummer' from every angle, and his propensities and hob bies," if 1 may so express it. being along entirely different lines from the hero part which he plays in the de- liciouslv amusing Booth Tarkington play, "Clarence.'
 When the play was produced in New York there were number of delightful Reviews" of it the morning after the First Night" and one of the critics said:
 "'Clarence was charming; the best comedy ever written by an American; but everybody in the. audience-and the S. R. o. sign loomed in bright fights-went home and directly got out his dictionary to see whatever a coleopatrist was"
 All of which leads up to a bit of "snooping" about I did yesterday to get a glimpse and a story from MT, Robert ("Clarence") Adams, who, by the time this story goes to press, you will have seen and adored in the unique and very humorous Tarkington play
 MT Adams had just stepped into ths Tutwiler-from a belated train-when saw him and my first impression of this nice young man was his spirit of delicious youth, which is so domi nant in the play; his slender figure, his attractive face, his air of in- souciance and debonnair urbanity, proving to my mind most conclusively that not only had MT. George c. Tyler found the right young man" for the "Clarence'' hero. but that this same nice right young man" had found d most congenial role, which he declares he enjoys playing from beginning to end
 "Just one yearsago this Christmas week I made my premier bow in 'Clar- ence,'" said MT. Adams. as he pleas antly referred to the fact that he was glad that 'Clarence's first anniversary was to be spent in a nice town like Birmingham. q shall never forget that occasion, naturally. MT. Tarkington is a very close friend of mine; I have played in several of his plays and he is perfectly charming and delightful, and, of course, I was tremendously ambitious to do the best work of my life in Clarence which is his pet hobby My friend, Alfred Lunt Che halls him Al You know me, Al of Ring Lardner fame) had made such a distinct success of it, that it made it very difficult to follow, but fortunate ly when the Chicago company was formed and l was given the part I had very wide berth given me, being in- formed that I was to originate the part and not copy it.

Senator Harrison Chides Dem ocrats for Even Considering Desertion of Time Hon.
 ored Party Policy
By HUGH w. ROBERTS Washiugton Bureau The Age- Herald
 E0n naviAsan Ruilhina

Washington, December 20.-(Soe- ciaL)-Democrats of the House, in .re- pairing to support the emergency tariff bill protecting agricultural products, had justified their apparent reuncia- tion of democratic principles on the strength of their passion for the farm laers when Senator Pat Harrison of Mis- sissippi exploded bomb in their ranks.
 On the floor of the Senate this aft ernoon, the Mississippi senator declared that the democratic party could rot afford to stultify itself. He contenjed that the protection bill was a sop ex- tended to the farmers by the manu- facturing east and that the manufac- turing east at later date, would de- mand protection on scale equally as high.
 Southern democrats, including Rep resentatives Bankhead and Steagall of Alabama regard the tariff bill as an emergency measure of nature iden- tical with anti-dumping legislation, and contend that supporting it would pot establish a precedent by democrats or Constitute a retirement from the posi- ton of hatred for permanent pro-cc- ton.
 The peanut prouuce1s or Aia"itna have repeatedly appealed for protec- ton against Oriental importation, and today came telsgrams from M. c. All good, secretary of agriculture, urging quick action on the part of the Ala bama delegation. The ways and means committee, in response to these tnd similar telegrams from every other i, ,,peanut-producing state, increased the C4roposed tariff from to cents I CT pound and established the duty on ca nut oils at 26 cents per gallon
 Senator Heflin declined to commit himself this afternoon, and no other Alabamian has stated a positive stand. There seems to be an inclination on the part of all to await the return of Senator Underwood, the democr ltic leader. His ideas will prevail, it is indicated, among the democrats of the Senate and govern their action.

, interest in Mir. Adams, and for whom he is going to write play in the near fu- ture.
 "I enjoyed tremendously playing in MT. Tarkington's The Country Cousin with Miss Carlisle" Mir Adams told me, 'as I had been with Miss Carlisle before
 and liked her very much. Also it brought me into very close touch with MT. Tarkington himself, whom I con
 sider the most capable of our American playwrights today.
 And then. of course this friendship with MT. Tarkington led to Clarence, MT. Adams enthusiastically said, .'which has been the joy of my life in the stuoy l of the part as well as in the actual per- formance of it. Really, when yeu cc.,e to think of the peculiarly complex nature l of the boy--Clarence- think of the Nar,' l ous angles which must be studied to pre- sent him properly. It is unusual. TkJ mysterious Clarence mock-hero, dis charged soldier. saxaphone player, pian- | ist. plumber, bug expert, dropping unex- pectediy into the home of fashiona ble family where dscord and strife run ram pant and evoluting into the peace maker | the servant in the house. as it were why the kaleidoscope vision of such hero part would be acceptable to the most fastidious and seasoned of actors, not to speak of a young aspiring actor" | Mir. Adams has solved the difficult role, so the critics say, with tremendous suc- cess, and as I looked upon this tall graceful young man, and listened to his i euphonious vibrant voice, none of which l things you could possibly imagine as be- | longing to him when you see him as Clarence" I thought how clever he is to translate, or, perhaps, I should better say, transform himself into the queer hero of MT Tarkingtons brain. and withal retain his wonderful sense Of pro-
 portion and a natural modesty which is exhilaratingly refreshing among the
 stage folk of today!

Miss Mattox usually plays old
