Anybody Seen Him?

1t is surprising how often the Boy
Scouts of America is called upon to
help locate lost or runaway boys.
The aid of the organization is
asked at this time in the endeavor
to discover the whereabouts of a
boy named John Dixon (nicknamed
"Jack") of Brooklyn, N. Y. Jack,
it seems, wrote his parents on a
postal card, postmarked st. Paul,
on September 10Th, 1922, that he
was on his way to Chicago. Up to
this date he has not been heard
from nor seen, although there has
been general alarm spread
through various sources.
He is sixteen years old, it., in.
tall, weighs 1876 lbs, has blonde
curly hair, black eyebrows and eye
lashes. When last seen he was
dressed in black wool sweater
and sheepskin coat, brown army
shoes, and his underwear was
marked with his full name.
His home address is 102 Berkeley
Place, Brooklyn, ~ Y. Anybody
who can help place the boy will
confer great favor by writing i'm
mediately to the above address or
to the National Headquarters of

The wedding Of Miss Lucy Otto and

North St. Rev. B. S. Hilburn of
Sommorole, Miss, performed the
ceremony in the presence of a num-
Der of relatives and friends, among
them were the young ladies Of the
home, who were granted leave of ab-
scene by their employers that they
might all be present and members Of
the board were also present.
The house was beautifully arrang-
ed with ferns and cut flowers.
The bride wore handsome navy
blue suit with hat, shoes and gloves
to match. Her corsage was Of pink
roses and ferns. She is the youngest
daughter Of Mrs. Elizabeth Otto OF
Bloomington, III. She was born and
reared in this city, receiving her early
education at the public school. After
completion in high school here she e.

In conclusion l would state that if
the people Of Baton Rouge realize the
worth and value of the Little Theater
in their midst, they will cheerfully
accede to the appeals Of the Little
Theater for their membership and CO.
operation. Members of the Guild who
cannot for any reason cooperate 9TH
erwise can serve the organization in
a substantial way by donating to the
property committee Of the Guild such
matter in the form of cast-off furni-
ture, and other similar stuff as they
may have, the idea being that there
are many things that through break
age are rendered unfit for home deco
ration but which with little talent and
genius can be made into matter fit for
stage decoration and help to build
up very respectable property list.
Any one having any article Of art or
value as such is solicited to send same
to the studio where they decorators

Rev. Gordon is a native of Missis>

of his life in Louisiana. He was
quite active in the commercial world
until five years ago, when he entered

who have been too frequently seen
and have the same relation to the
audience as would be expected of pro-
fessional performers. The very fact
of a first night performers appear
ance is sufficient reason to excite an
ticipation and draw large circle of
player's friends to test their histri-
onic merit. Expressions heard from
the patrons of the Little Theater
have convinced me that they would
prefer seeing mediocre performances
with some personality and originality
than to witness one bordering on pro-
fessional lines not possessing the in
dividuality attaching to the exploita-
ton of new material.
Considerable attention has been CIV
en- to Community Service productions
and l noticed the recent fullsome
praise indulged in by the last issue
of the Theater Magazine on the repro
duction of Longfellow's "Evange-
line' by the descendants of the orig
inal Acadians of that poem, staged on
the historic banks of Bayou Teche in
the land of Evangeline and cited as
record breaking event by all who
saw it from here and elsewhere in
the State. It is just such produc-
tions as this to which Louisiana is
susceptible and our history and folk
lore oger unparalleled opportunities
to the dramatist and the player. l
hope that my performance will serve
as an example to illustrate to forth
coming producers of the possibilities
Of local plays locally interpreted and
thus complete the province Of the Lit
tie Theater movement in the produc-
ton of plays Of local interest from
beginning to end.
Another feature that would be COM
mendable would be the adoption of
system by which New Orleans, Baton
Rouge and such other Louisiana cities
as support Little Theater or COM
munity theater, would copy after the
manner of baseball leagues and ar
range plan by which reciprocal serv-
ice could be maintained. Thus one
night of the Baton Rouge programs
could be devoted to seeing the best
that the Little Theater Of New Or
leans has produced during its season
and in turn the best program to be
assembled by the Baton Rouge Guild
could be presented in New Orleans or
elsewhere under the above mentioned
reciprocal arrangement. This would
offer the opportunity for comparison
in the cleverness of the respective
companies and also offer an induce
ment for the productions to be of that
class of merit emitting them to be
selected for presentation elsewhere.

THE ELITTLE
THEATRE

Pursuant with your request that
~rl1e you concerning the forthcom.
ing season Of the Little Theater
1ulld, the initial performance being
SET Tor the early part of November
a. which time l will be charged with
'ne production, I take pleasure in
complying thereto for the reason that
your journal reaches the women of
our community and it is to them that
l would direct certain information
and make certain appeals. The Lit
Tie Iheater enters upon the second
years OF its existence with the ex.
perlence of last season some very
radical changes have been effected
which l will briefly recount as fol-
lows.
One OF the lessons taught by the
nrst years experience was the me-
cesslty for conveniences for the play
ers and the stage carpenters and
scene painters and the assembling of
the properties so that they may be
easily available to the producers and
their colaborators. The large guam
tlty OF properties involved were scat
tered hither and thther and wherev-
er free storage room was offered by
friends of the movement but this me-
cessltated tremendous outlay of
money for the constant moving of
the properties before and after each
production. There has just been
completed on the empty lot just op-
posite the Woman's Club House own
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Raben-
horst, a laboratory or studio, erected
by the Guild where facilities have
been provided for the systematic
storage Of all sorts of stage proper
ties and ample room provided for the
erection Of stage scenery and lighting
effects and contrivances 50 that the
plays may be staged with proper
scene painting and lighting effects on
temporary stage to the great con-
venience of the designers and execu-
tors Of these play backgrounds. The
temporary stage also furnishes
means for rehearsals at all times Of
the day and night, matter that was
impossible in the clubhouse. The prox-
unity Of the studio to the clubhouse
renders it possible to carry the scen-
cry and stage properties across the
street to the clubhouse where they
may be quickly erected on the club
house stage with perfect accuracy
and satisfaction not to mention dis
patch.
Another important feature is the
access to stage facilities for rehears-
Woman's enterprise., 1922-10-27

ais and the providing Of facilities fol
the players to work OF, stage amply
set long before the average time wher
this was formerly available in the
clubhouse. The Studio makes it a
pleasure for the producers, the play
ers and the electricians and scene car.
penters and painters, to operate and
has relieved much Of the drudgery
| that was entailed in the past through
lack Of facilities in that line.
This season starts out with the
production of two short one act plays
the work of local play-wrights and be-
ing Of a series Of four plays sub
mitted in the competition for the St.
Clair Favrot prize for the best local
play submitted for production by the
Little Theater players. 1t was the
observation of the donor Of the prize
that the best work among amateurs
was being done by the Carolina Play
ers who write and interpret plays con-
nected with the history and manners
of the Carolinas, whether mountain
eer, moonshiner, or colonial in their
setting. Through the work Of the
players the history, folklore and gen.
eral mannerisms of the Carolina folks
are perpetuated which alone Of itself
is a creditable undertaking. Here in
Louisiana where history and folklore
are so conspicuously enchanting, there
should be no reason why they should
not be used in the manufacture of
plays by local playwrights and inter-
preted by local amateur talent so as
to serve as both an entertainment and
a lesson in Louisiana history for all
parties concerned.
Those who will witness the two
plays "Flood Waters" and 'Le Grand
Zombi" will be able to Judge Of the
magnificent opportunities of Louisi-
ana history and folklore for the in
spiration of plays and it is hoped
that the system of writing plays as
well as acting them will be adopted
by the supporters of the Little The
ater Guild, in future productions and
programs.
Another salient feature of the ini-
tial productions in November is that
over seventy five per cent of the tai
ent enlisted has never appeared be-
fore Little Theater audiences, it be-
ing the aim of the producer to devel-
op talent rather than utilize it when
already discovered, and to work on
new material rather than exploit ov-
erworked old material whose talent is
generally known and often for that
reason too frequently enlisted. Men
and women who realize the aim and
ends of the Little Theater movement
would rather see some Of their friends
in their first attempts, whether good,
bad or Indifferent, than see those

SPEEDED UP POSTAL SERVICE
First Exclusive Transportation Of the
Malls, In 1875, Was Watched
With Intense Interest.

The first exclusive mail train was
placed in service Sept. IS, 1875. Leav-
ing New York, it arrived on schedule
time in Chicago the following day,
after a journey Of twenty-six hours.
Great interest was taken at that time
In this all-postal train, which carried
the western mail from New York to
Chicago at greater speed than any
passenger train could command, and
furthermore delivered that mail at Chi
cago distributed and arranged for i'm
mediate dispatch to other lines, or
for delivery by carrier In Chicago.
With the beginning Of the year 1899
the mail between New York and San
Francisco was also carried on fast
trains, consuming less time than the
fastest passenger train. Fast trains
between Chicago and Omaha ran the
more than 500 miles in less than ten
hours. An important feature of the
new service was that by which mail
bags were caught without stopping the
trains, and which brought even small
towns the benefit of speedy service,

ance.
Harry Veness tells of an old sour
dough of the Klondike, who had a
valuable claim after several years of
dangers and hardships in the North.
He came to Seattle and operators
who realized the value of his holdings
had tried to buy him out for 100000.
but 1t was no use, the prospector held
on. Then came the wise man who
made the deal, and for one-tenth of
that sum. The stage-managed propo-
sition was worked like this:
The operators cornered their man
on the main street and induced him
to accompany them to a dark little
office off Marion street. There they
talked Alaska and mining until they
thought they had their man In the
proper frame Of mind. They opened
up the subject of deal and he ad-
mitted he had been offered 100000.
"And you'll never sell for that?'
one said, and when the miner said
mo" the would-be purchaser went to
a table near by that was covered with
cloth and snatched the covering
away. There, stacked in neat but
careless appearing piles, was $4,000
in bright new shiny 500 gold pieces.
There's what we'll give you,"
shouted one of the operators as he
saw the miners eyes CLEAN. "You
just sign the deed. and take the
money"

Biueberry Rapture.

Both these splendid varieties Of ber-

are probably the best berry growing on
bushes in the world, are free gift

over with fine soft fuzz or bloom,

of bursting with Juice which Is more
delicious than any known nectar. The
ripe, rich, woodsy flavor of the perfect
New England blueberry is indescrib-
able. In 1t are the perfume of the
