PLAN TO BUY COAL
Mine FOR INDIANA

Governor Goodrich Friday Endorsed
q resolution adopted by the state pur-
chasing committee that the state pur-
chase coal mine and coal cars to in
sure state institutions an adequate
supply Of fuel. An appropriation from
the legislature will be necessary as the
purchase will entail the expenditure OF
several hundred thousand dollars.
at is the only thing left US to do
said DR.. S. E. Smith, general super
intendent Of EasthaVen, who is chair
man Of the state purchasing commit
tee. DR.. Smith said he highly ap-
proved Of the plan.
"At present" he said, "if coal could
be obtained, 1t would cost five or six
dollars a ton at the mines, and that
is simply beyond our reach. If we
purchase a mine we can get it for
less than 81 ton, and at total cost
Of much less than the cost of a whole
years supply purchased from the
mines. Also, if we buy our own
freight cars the freight cost will be
reduced"
DR.. Smith said the committee adver-
tised for bids for coal while in session
again Friday, but received no response
whatever.

Dance of Death Soldier
Saw Service at Carrick
More Than 20 Years AGO

Albert Perry, whose Characterization
of Captain Edgar in the Strindberg
drama, "The Dance Of DEATH" which
the Theater Guild is presenting at two
private performances for Guild MEM
bers. is of the opinion that military life
at the Garrick comes to him quite
naturally. 1t was at the Garrick more
than twenty years ago that his stage
career began in military role, and in
no less play than "Secret Service"
with William Gillette.
Through a cousin of Mr.. Gillette

said Mr.. Perry. "Thc company for
Secret Service was complete. Just as

my interview, however. Gillette said:

entirely too severe. entirely too Spar.
tan. Heggie himself looks upon it
merely as the usual thing in the life of
every bush child and nothing at all out
of the ordinary. How many people
reading this have spent months at a
time, at nine years Of age, alone with a
dog, at the very edge Of forest, in a
wooden shelter, 'yarding' sheep and
cattle at sundown daily? That is what
o. P. Heggie did as youngster.
Far from thinking that we were
being cruelty treated we rather enjoyed
the experiences and We'd with one
another to be sent to the outhouses at
the end of the bush. don't know how
many parents would do the same with
their children nowadays" he said
smilingly.
Although he prefers character parts
to anything else, Mr.. Heggie is not a
bit averse to accepting any role offered
to him. 1t is his belief that the actor
Is the servant of the public, and that
II he can serve and entertain the public
by playing in variety shows, revues or
anything else he should do so. Some
years ago he was asked by Sir James
Barrie to play in sketch on the CEN
so1ship question called "The Dramatist
Cess What He Wants." which was to
De produced anonymously as part Of
an English revue. Of course, Heggie
accepted. The sketch was so humorous
and SO successful that there was not
the least doubt about it's authorship,
despite the attempt at anonymity.
Barrie loves doing that sort Of
thing" Heggie explained
Heggie has as good an acquaintance
with the leading English dramatists
as any one else in this country, per-
haps. He has worked with them all
SoIhesterton, Doyle, Barker, Galsworthy,
Shaw, Barrie and Pinero. And in
many of their plays he created his
part, afterward playing the same part
IN the American productions.
In August Heggie goes over to the
management of A. H. Woods and will
be seen in Ian Hays "Happy-G Co.
Lucky" The play was called "Tillie
of Bloomsbury" during its trial on the
road, but the original title has been
light
