attractive members of the cast-will not
close as announced, and lovers Of clean
plays viii take heart thereby. This play
Is one Of the merriest and cleanest OF
the season. and because II was clean It
was condemned by the critics. They
suggested that II would serve as an eK-
cellent entertainment for :he ladies' semi
naries-and 1t IS, as well as for those
who are not Of the semInaries and are
not Of the feminine persuasion. But Its
continuance In the face Of adverse criti-
cism makes one hope that there Is a
turning OF the tide against the salaclous
farce and In favor Of such as Just Be

Avery Hopwood has aroused consider
able interest in the announcement which
he made some time since that hereafter
he would use London as a producing
center for some Of his plays This Is
the first time an American writer Of such
prominence as Mr.. Hopwood has selected
the foreign capital In which to launch
his plays This does not mean how
ever, that New York will be denied the
opportunity OF assisting at the birth Of
some because Mr. Hopwood Is under con
tract to Mr. Woods and Wagenhals e.
Kemper and those producers operate
only In this country.

WALKER TO OPEN SEASON
AT MURAT TUESDAY NIGHT
Stuart Walker viii open his sixth sea-
son at the N-,rat on Tuesday night by
presenting "Honors are Even
Mr.. Walkers announcement that there
would be q number of new players with
his company this summer seems certain
Of fulillment If the cast OF "H0nors are
20 Even" the first play Of the season, can
be regarded as a criterion. Three Of the
members Of this cast have never been
seen with the company before, one has
played but one performance with it, and
two others have been chiefly absent since
the summer OF 1920.
Chief among the newcomers IS Arthur
Albertson, who viii play the leading
male role. Mr.. Albertson has appeared
under Mr.. Walkers direction before, but
never IN Indianapolis. Eary this last

Mr.. Walker staged. He has also ap-
peared in "Wait TIL Were Married q"
which was produced az the Forty E. shth
street Theate- last fall, and 4 Danger

entatiOn-
The other two newcomers are Corhet
Norris. who viii play an Important char
acter role, and Donald Macdonald, who
is cast for the part of young cub who
IS in the throes of desperate love affair
with the heroine Of the play.
L'Estrange Millman made his only ap-
pearance here with The Stuart Walker
Company last season in JOB in which
he played the part Of Elihu. In "Honors
Are Even" he will have an entirely diff
ferent role, being as near villain as the
play contains.
Beatrice Maude and Lael Corya (who
by the way. was known to Us formerly
as Lsel Davis each played but one part
last summer. Miss Maude will have the
leading feminine role in "Honors Are
Even" a role which was created in New
York by Leila Fisher; and Miss COrya
viii be seen as young society girl OF the
iapper type who likes to spend her time
any place except at home.
Others IN the cast who are IN no sense

ALEXANDER HAMILTON
From From Immigrant to Invento
by Michael Pnpin. In Scrihner,a

From From Immigrant to Inventor"
by Michael Pupin, in Scribner's.
The Columbia boat race victory at
Henley occurred in 1878. BY that
time I had already. with the assist
ance of Bilharz finished consider
able portion of my Greek and Latin
preparation for Prlnceton--or, as
caEed it, for Nassau halt" My
change of allegiance from Princeton
to Columbia was gradual.
Columbia college was located ut
that time on the block between Madt
son and Park avenues and between
Ferty-ninth and Fiftieth streets in
New York city. One of it's proposed
new buildings was. according to re-
port, to be called Hamilton hall. In
honor OF Alexander Hamilton When
I learned this l looked up the his
tory of Alexander Hamilton. One
can imagine how thrilled | was when
| found that Hamilton left the junior
class at Columbia college and joined
Washington armies as captain when
he was barely 10, and at 20 was
lieutenant- colonel and Washington's
aide-de- camp! What an appeal to a
young imagination! Few things ever
thrilled me, as much as the life of
Alexander Hamilton. Every Ameri-
can youth preparing for college
should read the history of Hamilton's
life.
Che cannot look up the history of
Hamilton's life without running
across the name of another great
