ROBERT MANTELL'S CAREER
shakespearean Star Came to the
United States In 1879

Robert Bruce Mantell, who will be
seen at the Broad for the next two weeks
in Shakcspearean repertoire, was born
in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland, not far
from the birthplace Of Robert Burns.
February Z. 1854. 1t was the intention
to make of him barristcr, on account
of a natural bent toward oratory, but
success in amateur theatricals turned
him to the stage. He made his pro-
fessional debut in the Theatre Itoyalc,
Rochdale, England. October q, 1876,
rs the Sergeant in "Arrah ma -Pogue. /"
Two years later, Mantell came to
America, and played for the first time
in this country Mt the Leland Opera
House, Albany. n. Y, in the support
of Nine. Modjcska, appearing as Ty-
bait in "Romco and Juliet
In 1882, Mantell again came to
America. appearing first in 1.-THE
World.' and The Romany Rye" lie
next appeared as Loris lpanOf in "Fc-
dora.' supporting Fanny Davenport.
His first appearance as n star was in
Tangled Lives.' at the old Fifth
Avenue Theatre, New York, Decem-
Der IS, 1883.
Then followed long succession OF
romantic plays: "Monbars," "Thc
Corsican Brothers" 1.-THE Marble
Heart" and "Thc Face in the Moon :
light" among others. Into his repcr-
toire. Mantel' occasionally introduced q
classic: first Romeo and Juliet" then
Hamlet" then ''Othcllo," and the
rest. Finally the classics crowded out
the romantic dramas entirely.

How He Won the LauQhs

Ray Cummings. one of the leading
characters in the "Whirl of New Iork"
revue unit on the Shubcrt vaudeville
bill ut the Chestnut Street Opera House
next week. did not always use his pres
ent nut" methods to put his comedy
across. The change came when he was
playing ~ Fitchburg, Mass, in II re-
fined comedy sketch. !: Wits Il good act.
Cummings says, but the whole trouble
was that the audience didn't think it
funny. He worked desperately to win
laughs, but to no avail Then he be-
came disgusted and began to "cut
loose" He broke everything in sight
and tore his hat and stepped on it.
The audience howlcd. and he has been
doing approximately the same thing
ever since.

POTASH MAY Be
FOUND IN TEXAS
GeoIogist Says Supply There
Is Sufficient to Furnish
Plenty of Fertilizer

Lawrence, Kan, November IL
Potash beds large enough to supply
the entire American demand for fer
tilizer and perhaps provide n sur
plus for export are likely to be dis
covered In western Texas, according
TO III. hsHoots. now an instructor IN
the department OF geology in the
University OF Kansas. For the past
year Mr.. Hoots, as Il member of the
United States Geological Survey, car
ried on Investigations in the pros
pectlve fields.
In territory extending approx
mately 125 miles north and south and
along the New Mexican border
strong indications have been found
of what is perhaps the largest salt
bed In the world. Surveys indicate
approximately $4,000 square miles of
prairie country underlaid with a
bed OF rock salt that ranges from
40 to 1000 feet in thickness. The
salt bed lies at depth of 900 to
1900 feet, making II convenient for
mining operations The conditions
which are faverah BILE to the forma-
ton of salt are favorable also to the
formation of potash.
Four test wells are to be sunk this
winter to get accurate figures about
the underlying strata. One well al
ISduy Is uHueT way anu the core Is
being preserved to show the thick
ness of the different materials pene-
trated. II these test wells result
as expected In showing the value of
the salt deposits, other tests will be
made to determine the limits of the
field and the location of its richer
parts.
Minor test wells at Means, River,
Bryant. Burns. Mcdowell and st.
Rita have produced the raw potash
but not on a production basis.
IF this potash field proves what is
expected said Mr.. Hoots, 1T will
mean that the United States has
found an internal source which is
needed SO much not only as a soil
fertilizer but also, in the manufac-
ture of soap. glass, explosives and
medical supplies. Comparatively
little potash is now being obtained
In the Unitsd States and what there
is now comes from western Nebras-
ka. Searles Lake, California, and the
great Salt Lake region in Utah.
