Lawford Appeared
Here First in Fitch Play

Ernest Lawford. who gives one OF his
fine characterizations In 'The Circle"
Somerset Maugham's comedy, In the
selwyn Theatre, came to this country
from England years ago through the
influence OF Miss Maxine Elliott.
Az the termination OF an engagement
with Miss Elliott In the British metropo-
lis she tried to persuade Mr.. Lawford
TO come to America. At first he con-
sented. but after leaving her and con-
sidering the matter In private he wired
TO her that he had decided not to make
the proposed visit to the United States.
Later they met at farewell dinner at
Miss Elliott's hotel. but nothing could
change his mind regarding tho Ameri-
can trip.
Confident OF Lawford's success in this
country Miss Elliott did not let the mat
ter rest there. however. but Immediately
upon her arrival she persuaded the late
CLYDE Fitch to make him such an offer
az he could not very well refuse. When
the young English actor received. In
consequence, such a tempting contract
from Mr.. Fitch he Immediately accepted
1t.
Since then Mr. I.awford has spen
little time in London and never has
been without an important part In q
play. After a long association with Mr.
Fitch he appeared under the Charles
Frohman management in an even two
dozen plays. supporting during that Ions
period of activity every Frohman staI
in the country. There were Miss Maude
Adams, Miss Billie Burke and all the
rest of them.

to tho experience. II still have my

THE CLIM

The story of the play, "The Climax"
which is to be given by an all star
cast at the college auditorium next
Wednesday evening, February 8, at
8:l5 o'clock sharp, by the Y. NJ. c.. A.
lecture course is very interesting.
Luigi Golfanti lives with his young
son, PietrO, and an adopted daughter,
Adelina. in a fiat on the East Side of
New York. He teaches music, the boy
Pietro composes, the girl sings. Her
voice has already won her some small
success and she is on the eve of going
to South America with a grand opera
company, when a young doctor from
Azalia, O., the village where Adelina
was born, comes to New York with
the intention of marrying the girl and
taking her away from the stage and
its influence. Adelina loves the doe
tor but refuses to sacrifice her career
He grows frantically Jealous of her
voice. He ~persuades her to undergo
an operation to strengthen her vocal
cords, and afterward he gives her a
spray solution which she is to use
daily. This solution paralyzes the
vocal cords.
Pietro, the lad, has composed a new
melody, "The Song of the Soul" espe-
cilaly for Adelina to sing. After the
loctor has sprayed her throat she tries
% sing but the voice is gone. The
;irl. after a splendidly rendered scene
Of despair, tries to kill herself but is
'aved by the old music teacher. With
her career apparently at an end she
turns to the man responsible.

GAME BIRD FARMS

The possibilities of a state bird
farm for the raising Of birds to be
liberated in South Dakota, instead Of
purchasing birds for stocking pur-
poses from eastern dealers, were dis
Cussed at a meeting of the board of
directors Of the Game Protective as
sociation at Sioux Falls this week,
and action is likely TO result.
This subject was considered at the
annual meeting of the sportsmen re.
Gently and the matter was brought to
the attention Of the game commission,
for further investigation and report.
Since that time the association has
made further investigation and finds
that the market conditions are such
that Asiatic birds are very scarce
among the large importers, and it be-
came apparent that if relief was to
be had in the near future the situation
must be taken care of at home.
From recent reports it appears that
many states are engaged extensively
in game propagation. Ohio has pur-
chased $4,000 pheasant eggs, and IA
year ago Matched 5000 birds. Michi-
gan in 1918 distributed 81, 800 pleas
ant eggs to farmers and sportsmen,
and with the states own hatch, 1922
birds were matured. New York, in
he same year liberated 11,415 birds
and distributed 59,31S eggs, making
approximately 10000 matured birds
for the year. Pennsylvania is making
a success of plseasants rearing. Ore
gon operates two game farms, and re-
ports good success. The Washington
state game farm in 1920 Matched and
liberated 1900 Chinese pheasants and
500 mallard ducks, distributing 1000
additional eggs Of pheasants to the
counties, and several hundred to the
farmers. This was done with a breed
ing stock of 211 hens. A few Hun

mat the water power act is a legis-

says every power project must be care

before licenses can be issued. Up to
