GREEN STOCKINGS

There wasn't even 4 glimpse o!
those much talkel Of, bright hued
hose at the High School IS: night,
but did we hear about them? We
did. indeed. In their performance
of screen Stockings" Miss Marg-
aret Anglin's famous starring ve-
hicle. at the High School auditorium
last night, the High School players
pavc their audience an exhibition of
splendid acting
Miss Lynda Carver, as Celia Far
adav, was to our minds, a profes-
sional. Her acting couldn't be
eoualed by any amateur and not even
by some experienced actors.
Herbert Knight, as Colonel Smith,
was as natural an English officer as
ever trod the boards.
Miss Inez Moore gave US so good
an example of the spoiled young so
ciety Miss that we think she must
have been one of the seasons dehu-
tant@s.
AS for Robert Tarvcr, the concelt-
ed young candidate for parliament,
he could not have been more ably
portrayed than by Milton Stonnell.
Miss Hilda Noonan lived up Tto
our idea Of the way real English
lady looks and acts in the most cap
able fashion. Miss Laurie Blewett
as Mrs. Chisholm Faraday. of Chic
ago, gave two examples of fine act
ing which must be seen to be apprec-
lated. The part of Mrs. Rockingham
Ce!ia's married sister. was well
played by Miss Mildred Lloyd.
Magnue Bales, who took the part
of Mr.. Faraday, was a typical Eng
lish gentleman, with his monocle and
his passion for bridge and the luxu-
rics of life. The gruff old admiral
Fred West. was perfect.

It will be worth while for anyone
who has not seen this play to go TO-
night and see ho wmuch talent there
is in our High School. Not only is
their acting a credit to the boys and
girls but the stage settings anil
properties are all the products of
their energy and ingenuity.

During his trial. Jabotinsky retained

There was one scene which made Il
deep impression on minds of the Pale

shall hereafter he naturalized or adj
mitted as citizen of the United

situation: n husband becomes citi

lively carries with it the citizenship
of his wife. but. as she herself could
not be naturaliZed owing to the fact
that she is unable to speak the Eng

not entitled to vote. In this alton
the court is unable to determine
whether the wife might herself be law

Baron Edm. Rothschild
to Save War Orphan
THOUSANDS WILL BE SENT FROM
EASTERN GALlCIA TO PALES-
TINE. ii

Baron Edmond de Rothschild, head
of the famous family of European
financiers, has proposed rs u means
of solving the problem Of providing
for the $4,000 Jewish war orphans in
Eastern Galicia. that they be sent to
Palestine, where they will have nu
opportunity to grow up with the conn
! try, in an atmosphere which will per-
init of their freeest development.
In making this proposal. Baron
Rothscllild promised TO give his full
est support to carrying thru the pro-
ject as soon as conditions permitted.
which is expected to be some time
after the civil administration sup
plants the military government in
Palestine and Great Britain lifts the
ban on immigration.
The condition of the Eastern Cali
clan war orphans is described as most
pitiful. With orphannges overcrowd-
ed. an acute shortage of houses, these
war orphans are reported in many
cases to be living practically on the
streets. picking up what food they can.
Their mortality has been high. from
diseases resulting from hunger and eS-
pOsure. particularly tuberculosis.
Baron de Rothschild's plan TO trans
port these orphans to Palestine. Will
give them an opportunity to grow hack
to health. as well as work on the
Jewish farms which will give them
