The plan of little theat g. is being adopted all over the country. and Thursday the TutwiIer hotel Oliver Hindsell will explain the plan of them- He will also give an inter- esting lecture. He is the director of the Little theatre. New Orleans.
 The event is to be under tie aug- pfces of the Drama league, the hour be.,.g 3 o'clock. Outside the door will be stationed members of the league who will enroll a those who wish to join their organization.
 Very Cheap
 It doesn't take a lot of money to start little theatre. New Orleans rents a small auditorium in the old French quarter for $43 per month. In this building the Little theatre ob- tains what money and equipment it can, engages a first-class coach, and sets to work to produce plays with the material at hand.
 Anyone who will work and con- ducts himself properly is allowed to act And the cast for one play will include prominent names in society as well as men and women who are clerks. office assistants, college men, school teachers and the like. There is no patronizing. Ability is the only thing that counts.
 Easily Financed
 AS for finances A thousand peo- pie merely subscribe $1O each. This allows each subscriber one seat at seven performances. One affair is

the various womens organizations of the city.
 Report of the committee on dance regulations which was adopted by yesterdays meeting in part follows;
 The solution of the recreation prob lem must be constructive, not restric- tive: everyone naturally seeks ex- pression and a means of satisfying their emotional and imaginative na- ture- Communities should not try to suppress these natural tendencies but should rather offer such a variety of recreational facilities wholesomely housed and supervised that the less worth while and more harmfully con- ducted amusements will have no att fractions.
 No dance of a gross or vulgar char acter shall be permitted, and no per son shall be permitted to conduct himself in a gross or vulgar manner. No undue familiarity between men and women shall be permitted. Part ners shall keep their bodies and faces free from each other.
 The inspector of the dance hall shah have full power to decide what Is proper or permissible in this con nection- and on notifying the person dancing that improper conduct is be- ing indulged in, and failing to change  their way of dancing. the inspector has the power to put the couple out of the building.
 It shall be unla wful for any person who has not reached the age of six teen to attend dance halls unless ac- companied by parent or legal guar dian It shall be unlawful for any person to represent himself or her self az having reached the age of sixteen in order to attend these dances and it shall be unlawful for any person to represent himself or herself as parent or guardian of any person in order that such person may attend the dance.
 Tho dance han shall be kept bril- iantly lighted during the time that q dance is in progress.
 It shall be unlawful for any person to conduct any dance after midnight on any night or at any time on Sun day.

THE BETTER MAN
LxxVI-AFRICAN MOONLIGHT
By MAY CHRISTIE
Copyright, 1921, by the Mcclure Newspaper synd

The story thus far;
 Camille Westbrook has journeyed 10 South Africa with her little but terfly friend, Dolly Mortimer, who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg Elliot Glyn is in love with Camille, but because of poverty does not feel justified in binding her to an engage . ment. She has in her possession a valuable ring, which she has accepted as security on a loan to Reggie Van Tuyl, man -about-town. who is always in financial difficulties. On shipboard at a fancy dress dance the ring was snatched from her by a mysterious masked man, but was later returned. Camille, Polly and Glyn are sightsee- ing together. An Indian snake charmer warns Camille that her ring will bring her trouble.
 That queer attack on board ship, for instance? The ring had been the cause of it. Was 1t possible that Reggie really had been on the boat, and had masked himself that night in order to get back his precious sap phire?
 The arrival of the rickshaw boy created a diversion, and Camille hur- ried to her room to get her cloak. It was a big apartment, with white washed walls and a large window overlooking a tennis court. The door opened on an upstairs veranda which ran around a palm-filled court yard, and from which one could glimpse the moonlit sea.
 Down below swarms of black coolies in white suits chattcred and laughed.
 Camille slipped a wrap about her, hurried down the stairs and through the court yard to the stoop. where Glyn was waiting.
 He helped her into the rickashaw, and got in beside her. The Zulu boy, making a queer. clucking sound as though he were the driver and not the horse, set off with loping swing like wolf on the track of it's prey. He had put seed bangles round his ankles on top of his painted spats and also on his upper arms in honor of the charming 'Inkosizaan, and was delighted with himself,
 Camille leaned back luxuriously. The loping movement was a little odd, but quite a new experience 1t was late spring here. and the air was warm and balmy.
 But he can't surely haul us both for 10 miles?" she whispered to her
