Frank Murray will be on hand to
assist Tommy Levene next week at
the Augusta Opera House when the

Murray, because of his impersona-
ton of a French Canadian. together
with his own innate ability as a
comedian has come to be one of the

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Woman in Room 10"

The Chicago Stock Company de.
lighted another enthusiastic audience
Friday afternoon and evening with
their presentation of THE Woman in
Room 49," melodrama in four acts
written by Max, MARGIN and Sam
Shopman. Again did Miss Wardley
come across only in a different way
from her comedy presentations of the
past week exhibiting her powers of
strong acting and wonderful stage
presence. She, as the vampire of the
cast, the stolen wife and the cause
of the murder of the other man, ex-
celled with her work and timely
comeback at the last.
Edmund Moses as John Bruce and
John Graham in duel role was par
excellence, giving his all at the last
for the sake of q woman. Freddie
Beaudoin as usual, was on hand with
his good nature, filling in many a
time with the much needed alibi and
giving to the play it's life. George X.
Brown as the head of the Police De-
partment, deserved special mention.
The cast as a whole was excellent
and their presentation mostly highly
commented upon.
Today will be presented "Mary's
Ankle play having for two years
a wonderful run in New York City,
and is presented for the first time be.
fore an Augusta audience.

baseball team Some 20 men report
ed at the first call. A preliminary
workout has been held, and scheme
of practice has been drawn up by
Coach Mike Ryan in conjunction
with Captain Taylor. This scheme is
to be followed closely until such time
as the weather is ready for out-of-
door practice. 1t calls for four days
a week of gymnasium work to linn
Der up the men. with light workouts
daily. Wednesday and Saturday af-
ternoons, the squad will turn out for
a cross-country hike. The same
training rules that were used last
fall for the football men will again
be in operation, and woe to the man
who disregards them. The athletic
council has not as yet named the
man who will guide Colhy's baseball
fortunes this spring. but as soon as
this is done, and it is hoped that it
will be done early next week, he
will be placed i'll charge of the cam
didates for the pitchers box. It is
said that several men well known in
professional and minor league base
ball are under consideration by the
athletics council for the important
position as chief coach.
The new material as it showed up
at the first practice session, is OF
good quality. For the job at back
stop, there are three aspirants, Fer
guson,' find of Jack Coombs', who
halls from Texas; Siefert. of Nashua,
n. H, and Tarpey, of last falls foot
ball outfit, who caught last year for
a prominent Massachusetts prepara-
tory school. The are five men who
want to fill the box next spring. They
are Coulman, pitching star for Lynn
English High school last year; Por-
ter, a veteran from Everett Highs
last years aggregation; Feeney,
pitcher for the EasternS last summer,
and said to be as good as any in the
league; Weymouth, who threw them
over for Higgins last year, and Breu-
er a man from New York, who bears
quite d record of boxwork. Two men
from Coburn's 1920 championship
team are Sadd, and Nichols the for
mer first baseman, and the latter Il
shortstop. Ernest Verne and Grand
are two other potentialities as in
fielders. From the last years team,
there remain Captain Taylor, of
whom nothing need be said; Spike
Williams, consistent worker in the
outfield for the past three years:
fitzgerald, who did good work at
the second sack last year: Wills. as
good first baseman as any college
in the State showed last year: Goode,
of Comets fame, an infielder, and for
catchers, Johnny Lmpher, whose
work is VII known to Wterville fans
and Paul Brooks, who is expected to
give Lampher Jun for his money!

California Pastor Talks
On Public Speaking

by invitation of DIR. Herbert G..
LIBBY OF the public speaking de.

De1ore the public speaking class on
the topic, "The Fine Art of Public
speaking, Friday afternoon. Hav-
ing peen an instructor in elocution in

otaeory at Brown University, and
having been a close student or puh-
nc speakers all over the country

psychology of audiences, Mr.. wads-
worth out of his own experience. EN-
pnasized the very great influence of
ene Hnest OF all fine arts, the art of
public speaking. Today in our conn
try, he said our students who ought

70 think straight and to express
clearly and forcibly their thought TO
me people. Three elements enter
ih.o effective public speaking, physi-
cal mental and spiritual, in other
WORDS. the body, the mind and the
spirit. So far as the body is con-
cerned, much depends upon the per-
sonar presence, the voice, gesture
ana poIse. The mind should be
thoroughly furnished by reading of
the right sort and by close observa-
uon OF nature and the affairs of
men. The speaker urged the stu
dents, in order to become effective
speakers to read poetry, especially
Iennyson and Shakespeare; orations.
specially those of Webster and such
masters of English style as Ruskin
ana Irving and hawthorne.
The supreme factor, after all. said
the speaker, is the spirit, the man
must be behind the message, the soul
nuts be behind the speaker, impress
sion must precede expression. The
young men were urged to use the un-
exampled opportunity offered bv
