Y. NJ. c. A. NOTES.

These fine spring days are begin
ming TO call the outof doors-the boys
and the men. Less attention is being
paid to billiards, carroms, checkers
and other indoor games and sports,
and baseball, marbles and other OUT
door games are becoming popular. And
the popular game of croquet is calling
the fans again. Indeed, as early as the
last of February players had begun TO
flock around the court, and the IA
miliar ring of the round balls began
to be heard. Never before has the sea-
son opened so early. OF course they
all know that they are likely any morn
ing to see the ground covered with siX
inches of snow, but they are deter
mined to make the best of its while II
lasts. Sims has already challenged
the ever-ready King, even If the sea-
son closed on him last fal tweht!
games behind King.
The drum corps is progressing splen+
didly. To hear them from a distance
one would be led to believe that he
was listening to regular players. Their
instructor is greatly pleased with their
progress.
The Bible class, which meets every
Thursday evening, promises to do well,
proyided spring does not come too
early
The Rev. DIR. Bainbridge, pastor OF
the Asbury NJ. f. Church, was the
speaker at the meeting last Sunday at
ternoon. His subject was watch.
His address was very interesting.
| Tomorrow Sunday afternoon, be-
ing Palm Sunday, a program befittlng
the day will be rendered. The Rev. Dr.
Stewart d. White, pastor of the wash
ington Park NJ. f. Church, will deliver
the address. The program will begin
at o'clock. and all will be welcome.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-04-13
By Heywood Broun

Margaret Ang1in was seen at the
Shubert Theater last night in Emile
Moreau's THE Trial OF Joan Of Arc"
The translation is by Astrid Argyll.
This is the production which was lately
given at a special matinee at the Cen
fury and is now introduced for linn
tied engagement. The authors prodi-
gality with characters and with expo
sition concerning their past activities
makes the first act deadly dull, but the
play touches emotion firmly in the sec
ond act with the entrance Of Miss
Angln.
At first sight the spectator is apt
to feel aggrieved in his images be
cause he is not to see the slim and
boyish Jeanne of the type generally
favored by artists and sculptors Here
we have, more automatically, the
peasant woman, and there is nothing
lacking in the flneness III spirit.
Throughout the trial scene the per-
Torrance of Miss Anglin is admirable,
and q little of it is moving.
After that act she is never again as
good. AS the play itself begins to sag,
Miss Anglin takes too much upon her
self and it seemed to us that there
finally came into the part just touch
If the blight of elocution.
The supporting company is good,
though not distinguished, and settings
tasteful and handsome.

knights $5,OOO,OOO
Fund to Help Veterans
Pelletier Announces II Will Be
Spent I'm Educational and
Welfare Work

Supreme Advocate Joseph c. Pellc
tier, chief law officer Of the Knights OF
Columbus, in a statement issued yes
terdny, said the $5000,0Q0 fund which
was to have been spent by the organi-
zntion on a memorial building at Wash
ington for tho Anne rican Legion will be
devoted to extension of educntio IA
cilties for cx-scrvicc men and to ex-
tension of welfare work among war vet
Grams in hospitals of the country. The
offer of the memorial building was de-
clined. by the Legion.
Mr.. Pelleticr said that Colonel r. w
Galbraith jr.. National Commander of
the American Legion, had pronounced
the offer as one "of the fairest and
most upright gifts he had ever heard
Of He said he was unable to under
stand how it had been reported that
the Knights of Columbus were to "keep
a hand on the building or its manage
ment and thus seek to manage the
mem oral with the LEGION
Colonel Galbraith said last night, in
commenting on the statement Of Mr..
Pelletier, that the Knights of Columbus
offer was splendid one, but that for
certain reasons the Legion did not ac-
cept it. at was not what we considered
free gift" he said He added that he
hoped the Knights, in devoting the
100000 to work among disabled SOL
diers, would carry on this work with
the cooperation OF the government.
