Doing Shakespeare
In Modern Drama

This last is long-cherished plan o.
Miss Bonstelle's, the production OF 'O'
Tanning of the Shrew" in modern
dress. She first launched her idea 81 :
dinner in New York of the snaAs
speare Society, and it was enthusiast
cally received. especially by the W
burns, who gave a scene from ~
Shrew" on the spot in modern evenins
dress. This production will proos0'
be made some time N July. Ine SEQ
son ends late in August.
Miss Bonstelle is ct present reacnihS
toward the achievement Of two 1af'"s'
ideals, one of which she feels sh01'S
be the outgrowth OF the stock tnes'''
in general, the other of her own S0i'
in particular. The first is the spreS-
of the municipal theater idea, niil''. =
dollar piayhouses for the peoP'''
which she has deeply at heart DeNs -
ing that in the face of the constan''
mounting expense Of production 'i'.
Will be the best method OF MY !
alive in the theater the disintefss''s
and experimental spirit.
The second and more immediate pi''
il proposed Bonstelle prOducuVs
company, to come to life in New 'g,s
this fall. For its Use Miss bons'S''s
is trying out with both eonpaps'
three new plays. The District ~

REGION OF SUDDEN FLOODS
In Australia MeteoroIogist Has Little Time to Warn of Impending
 CIoudbursts,

In this country-one speaks of it in Oned by hundreds of miles-the infOr- mattOn gathered by the meteOrOlOgist does not circulate. Floods come there out of clear sky. It is no uncommon thing for flood to be tearing down the bed of what looks like an ancient river, where there is no sign of rain and it is known that no rain has fallen in the area for years. The man with highly-tuned imagination would be scared to find the bed of the river nov ing. From above, the debris of timber, grass and other accumulations is to be seen steadily approaching.
 There is no apparent reason for the movement, no sign of water pressure at the back of the travelling waste. But behind and pushing miles of debris before it. Rain has fallen in the far north. and the water is flooding the country south.
 A few hundred miles from Lake Eyre there were to be seen, after one O1 LhCSC SuuuOA AOOOhl6S Ol LAS dlCc, cattle hung up in the forks of trees, horses dead in the fallen timber, and here and there portions of the gear of drovers or packh0rse travellers that had been swept away before the men had time to get it to safe ground.
 One of the mysteries of the coun- try was the total disappearance of a wagon team with the wagon and It's load of goods travelling north. The teamster had camped in the bed of the creek, as was demonstrated by the tracks of his wagon, which went in, but did, not go out. It was ac- cepted that he was caught by the flood, perhaps while asleep at night, and the whole outfit was washed away. At any rate 1t was never seen again. Sydney (Australia) Times.
