DETECTIVE DRAMAS OPEN THEATER
SEASON IN NEW YORK PLAYHOUSES

plot is so full Of horrors that probably
no audience could endure it without
the comedy relief afforded by a clown
detective. As it is, shivers succeed
laughs and vice versa. Hands that
reach out apparently from nowhere
and fell their victim, couches that sink
down through trapdoors, candles tina,
mysterlously blow out, uncanny ghost

confront the luckless travellers who are
driven into DR.. Ziska's sanitorium by
a very effective stage storm. But al
ends as it should and the death plotted
by the insane doctor for the hero is
meted out to himself.
Wilton Lackaye as DR.. Gustave Siska
is even more ~convincingly diabolical
than he was as Svengali years ago.
Mckay Morris is manly and convincing
as the brave hero. and Miss Marguerite
Risser makes an appealing heroine
while Frank Mccormack as the clown

whispering Wires" by Kate Nc
Laurin, at the F%orty-ninth Street
ltheater, has literally opened the new
theatrical season on Broadway. and
if we may judge the coming weeks by
this first week, detective plays of the
|blood-curdIing. hair raising variety
will retain their vogue.
The first act of Miss McLaurin's
play promises to eclipse both THE
Bat and 1.-The Cat and the Canary"
but unfortunately, the last two acts
do not succeed in keeping up to the
high standard set by the first. How
ever, whispering Wires" holds its
own with the audience and must be
rated as far above the average detec-
tive play.
In Act I the rich financier is warned

he will be dead. The sends for detec-
tives. who guard him closely, yet within
the allotted time he is shot and killed
by an unseen assassin.
Then the plot %thickens. for his
lovely daughter also receives a death
warning over the whispering wires.
How she eludes the fate that overlook
her father, and just who the murderer
is and how he pans and commits the
dastardly crime-all this goes to make
up the riddle that is answered at the
Forty .ninth Street theater. II
wouldn't be fair to tell anymore-the
Shuberts especially request everyone
who knows not to tell.
The financer is well played by Ben
johnson. who makes him so disagree
able that n does not waste much
sympathy over his demise in Act I.
Olive Tell is the lovely and p~laintive
daughter, and Drew as portrayed by
George Howells adds one more to the
list of fascinating stage detectives.

ST. MARY'S SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT
ga College Comedy, Ably Pre-
sented by Students of the
Highschool

Friends and patrons of st. Mary's
school spent enjoyable hours in the
highschool gymnasium Friday evening
as they watched the excellent presen-
tation of "A College Comedy" by St.
Mary's highschool students.
The characterization although quite
varied was rendered by each and all
with superior merit The costuming
was strictly in accordance with good
taste. The makeup, tone OF voice and
dramatic gesticulations of the student
who impersonated John Douglas
Brown were equal in every particular
to those used by the professional stage
performer. Phyllis performance was
hardly less meritorious than that OF
her star partner.
The selection given between the first
and second acts of the play could not
be improved upon, and the student
who gave it is to be complimented for
his complete success in leading that
vast audience to "try smiling" or more
truly stated to keep smiling.
The parts taken by middle-aged Bob
and his winsome ward, Marion, were
portrayed with an excellence far IN adj
vance of amateur performers. The
domestic rumpus between Dick and
Nellie Preston was decidedly amusing,
and showed much talent in the actors.
The nart of "Poor Teddy" crest-fallen
and wounded, was well depicted. Dis
consolate Jack and ill-fated Hawkins,
the butler, were veritable pictures of
everyday life.
The portrayal of the willy artifices
of Mrs. Ross and the embarrassment
of the latter ON being discovered by
the guardian Imp" whose wings had
not sprouted,'' lent dramatic air to
previous comical situations The hallu-
cinations of Jane were portrayed with
such effect as caused many among
those assembled to be seeing things
Fat night" This tense state of mind
was however quickly relieved by Mol
ly Bruce, who contrived to get Hawk
ins, "hooked" by treating him to his
own chocolates.
The music by the LIE Veille orchestra
at each lowering of the curtain, added
much to the program and delighted an
appreciative audience.
The vocal numbers by the graduates
with Miss M. Seaward as accompanist
gave a pleasing variety to the enjoy
able evening.
The comforting of diplomas by Rev
J. Miller, O. S. NJ, and his eloquent
words of encouragement and salutary
warning to the graduates will make
the occasion always a cherished mem
ory.

SHUT
OUT WANDER BIES
One Lone Score Marks Net Re-
suit of Best Game Ever
Played In Lady
smith

''The best game of baseball ever
played on a Ladysmith diamond" is
the way some refer to the game be-
tween the Wander Bies, of st. Paul,
and the Ladysmith team Sunday after
noon. A score of one to nothing only
two errors, and the game played in
one hour and 45 minutes, seems to
Justify the assertion
/ The entire game was played without
the shifting of player. There were
no spectacular plays, but the work OF
Houle. manager, ON third bag, and
Hayden ON second perhaps deserve
special mention. There was no
wrangling and only two decisions OF
Ump. Nick Christman were mildly
protested.
The teams played for GO and 40 per
cent of the gate receipts. The crowd
present numbered nearly five hundred.
The present Ladysmith lineup will
play at Rice Lake Sunday. The Rice
Lake team has two games on Lady

patch says that their team is strength

LOCAL MAN INVENTS
USEFUL WINDOW CLEANER

Guy Whereatt, Worden-av. shoe man,
has invented a useful and practical
window cleaner. 1t is constructed
somewhat similar to the window clean
er with the rubber scraper, except
that the scraper is reinforced by sec
ond thick rubber strip little narrow
er than the one with which the scrap
ing is done. On the back of the scra-
per Is clamped thick felt strip with
which the first cleaning process is ac-
complshed. This is the principal
feature of the cleaner. The strip OF
rubber and felt are fastened between
brass strips which will not rust, and
a socket is provided into which is In
serted a long handle.
The invention is the best cOntriyance
for the purpose intended ever shown
here. r. Jandrt, who is selling the
cleaner locally, says it is meeting with
ready demand. The cleaner is be-
ing assembled in Ladysmith.

LOCAL REAL ESTATE
MEN HOLD MEETING

The Rusk County Real Estate Board
is a humorous body and not at all
superstitious. Thirteen sat down to
their banquet at the Gerard hotel Fri
day evening and no one appeared per-
turbed. But when fourteenth came
in smiling, everyone else smiled, too.
One good reason for every one feeling
fine was the delicious banquet served,
fresh fish being the principal item on
the menu.
Several subjects were discussed
briefly, from sunfish to religion, be-
fore the business of the board was
reached, and w. G. Thompson, a guest,
entertained the members with several
good stories, while cigar smoke curled
upward.
The meeting was in the nature of a
farewell to the retiring president, W.
A. Blackburn, whose resignation was
regretfully accepted as he announced
he was about to remove from the coun-
ty for an extended if not a permanent
residence in California His place on
the board of directors was filled by the
unanimous choice of T. G. Jones.

FIRST BABY CLINIC
GREATLY APPRECIATED

The baby clinic held in Ladysmith
Wednesday under the auspices of the
county welfare committee, was suc-
cess beyond expectations, according to
Mrs. Neil James, city nurse.
More than fifty babies were brought
before the clinic. Some of them need
ed medical attention and some need
ed surgical attention, and a few minor
operations were performed by local
physicians who co-operated with the
committee and the county nurse and
city nurse. Mothers were advised in
several cases where defects were dis
covered in their babies. There were
a few cass of malnutrition and some
of overweight
Some of the parents came from long
distances to bring their babies to the
meeting and one family was much dis
appointed when they found they had
arrived too late. There were some
physically fine babies in the fifty pres
ent.
Much of the credit for this first
baby clinic is due to the untiring eff
forts of Miss Ruth Pfiel, county nurse,
under whose management it was held
The appreciation shown by the parents
and other visitors will probably result
in another one being held.
