The Ninth Deacon" is one Ola lis
Of original University musical comedies
the first Of which was Hundred
Dollar Bill" presented in 1911 and re-
produced in 1918. The play was pre-.
sented with such success that il ran for
four nights straight to a capacity house
and the other Cay a Chicago producer
wrote to Columbia asking for permission
to produce the play. II was written by
three University students: Vaughn By-
ant, who wrote the books; Edwin W.
Patterson. who wrote the lyrics. and
Cirard Blair who composed the music.
The plot, in three acts, ceniered
around a certain Bill Smart who went 10
Mizoomah College. where his father had
been q former football star Bills father
instructed him to make his mark in foot
ball or he would be Sc, TO work in a
factory. II he made the team he would
get a 500 bill for every game he
PLAYED in. But Bill was cut out to be-
a campus king and not football hero.
Things looked pretty blue for Bill,
when he discovered that there was anoth-
er Bill Smart" who played football.
What was easier than to send the clip
pings home with the other Bills name
and receive the money? He did this
but, alas Mr.. Smart took it into his
head 10 appear on the scene and Bill
was in bad fix. Some interesting com
plications arose but Bill finally got out
Of his scrape and everything ended we'll.
The most popular music of the play
was In Ny Airy Airplane" and the
'Cridiron Glide" which, as a former

First Original Musical Comedy
: Was Produced at NJ. u. in 1911

forms US. set the whole college to hum
ming the tunes"
The play was produced by the Uni
yersity Quadrangle Club which had beer
organized that year for the purpose o'
presenting original musical productions
Ii was an outgrowth Of the old Univers
i,y Club. organized in 1898 by the well
known Bottles" Burrus, and was al
first a dramatic club. In 1907 the club
was reorganized and was called The %
Club which gave Only Mary Ann a
musical comedy. Every year after that
musical comedies we're produced but ii
was not until 1911 that the students
wrote their own plays.
In 1912 the University Quadrangle
Club produced THE Land Of the Tor
eador," which was .also written by stu
dents. Their for many years nothing
much was done in this line until 1870
when the School Of Journalism presented
the Journalism Jazzical." the first Of
the musical productions presented by
journalism students.
Last year The Green jug" was writ
ten and produced by journalism talent,
with what success is shown by the fact
that it is now being played by profes-
sional companies on the road.
The Ninth Deacon" will be the next
play. in two acts and a prologue. and
the lively interest shown by its partici-
pants and the public promises much for
lis success.

Harlan Police Chief
And Others Killed

James Pope, chief of police of Har-
Ian; Lloyd Ball and his son, Sidney
Ball, were killed i'm a gun battle in
the Ball home in the central part Of
Harlan Tuesday afternoon about 8
o'clock It is said that the officer re-
ceived information that liquor was be-
ing taken into the Ball home Accom-
panied by Officer James Angel, Chief
Pope went to the house to investigate
the rumor. Angel was placed at the
rear door to prevent AN escape while
the chief entered at the front. He was
met just inside by the two Balls. In
a few seconds the father and son
were lying dead in the hall and Chief
Pope staggered out of the house and
fell dead on the sidewalk 80 feet
away.
AS the two Balls and Chief Pope
were the only persons in the house at
the time of the gun battle, and Officer
Angel heard the shots, but saw moth
ing of the fight, 1t is only matter of
conjecture as to which fred first 1t
is believed, however. that Chief Pope
killed his assailants after receiving
the wound which caused his death.
Pope had served as chief of police
OF Harlan for two years. During the
time he has made a reputation for
fearlessness in the discharge of his
duties. He has had narrow escapes
from death and was considered one
of the best police officers Harlan

Irrespective of the decision raised

Talented Singer
For 'sPhoebe"

The Woman's History Club has Sc
cured Miss Josephine Strasner, Of
Frankfort, to take the leading role In
Phoebe" in the play of that name,
which will be presented at the Tabb
Theatre on December L. Miss Stras-
ner is singer of note, having lately
been graduated from the Conserve
tory Of Music, Boston. She has ap
peared In many concerts in the east
and created the role of phoebe" for
the Frankfort production, which was
such huge success that the Deacon
Production Company has been asked
to give a return performance on De-
cember s20. With the exceptionally
clever people of Mt. Sterling who are
taking part in the production and
with the support of the Womans His
tory Club, phoebe" promises TO be
the best local talent production ever
staged in the city.
Phoebe" is essentially a real must
cal comedy, with distinct plot, clev-
er songs. beautiful costumes and pro-
fessional dances. The Deacon Pro
duction Company has made distinct
place for itself in the producing field
by its breaking away from the old
standard amateur show. The specta-
tors of phoebe" find an entirely diff
ferent show than any they have ever
seen. There are burlesqued bits of
pantomime. unusual dances of the
new. school and comedy delivered
without the aid of slapstick. Perhaps
tbs most notable feature is the "Bac-
chanale," a ballad which depicts by
dance the early Grecian festival of
Baccus. In 1t are the slave girls,
fruit bearers, wine makers. dancing
girls, and so forth. The costumes of
tie-dye make a wierd color effect that
is only obtained by this Javanese
method of coloring. All in all. the
play is sure to be the sensation OF
years.

BUT HE UNDERSTOOD BEAT IT.

A tramp. arrested In the Ebenezer
section, near Harrodsburg, was tried
before County Judge Allin Tuesday.
He had been wandering about the
neighborhood for several days, when
people became alarmed and called the
sheriff, who took him to Harrodsburg
and placed him in Jail He seemed
to know very little English. and was
unable to understand questions put to
him. Louis Levitt was called to in
terview him and said he tried five
different languages, none of which the
man seemed to know AS nearly as
could be understood his name was
Grandy and he appeared to be from
Russia, or from some of the countries
adjoining it. Several linguists about
the courthouse tried to talk to him
without making any progress. Final
ly, Judge Allin said: How long will
it take you to get out Of town." Five
minutes" replied the tramp without
hesitating. 81 won't hurry you that
much" said the judge. "but you can
take your choice between getting out
of town in Is minutes or so days in
Jail" The stranger had no difficulty
in understanding. He got up from his
chair, put his heels together. made a
low Chesterfieldian bow with his hat
over his heart, and departed hastily.
The judge had evidently hit on a Ian
gnage he knew.
