.HAMP DEN F IN {.
IN PERIOD
COMEDY
Massinger Satire SpIendidly
Acted by Good Cast at
Garrick.

When Phillip Massinger., in the
early years of the seventeenth
century, wrote his satirical comedy,
"A New Way to Pay Old Debts"
men talked plainly and there were
neither prohibition jokes nor under
the-bed farces-and. there was no
| Walter Hampden.i either. Mr..
| Hampden presented this comedy,
! last seen in America in 1886, at the
Shubert- Garrick Theater last night.
1t is worthy of remembrance that
| such plays, while rejecting the life
and customs of the period, were,
from the very fashion of their time,
| clothed in exaggeration of character
and circumstance. There can be,
| then, no comment on the little mat
ter of proba bilities, which, at most,
is a cheap thing to argue about.
Mr.. Hampden last night essayed
the role of Sir Giles Overreach, the
precursor of every important villain
of the stage. He is Simon Legree
ct al. rolled into one and clothed
in knee breaches and 'ruffles.
The play is easy Of understanding,
EliZabethan drama, to keep one
corner % the MIND occupied in try
ing to get some sense out of the
stiIted lines.
Certain of the jests, too, are of
that sort which know naught of
the hour-g1ass. The outspokenness
of the language is always amusing.
Mr.. Hampden, as Overreach. is a
consumate villain. His perform
ance is continuously one of fire
and and choler, and the only aces
series lacking were the old saw
mill and the railroad track. His
descent to madness, whittier he
had been driven by his enemies,
offers him a fine scene.
Ernest Rowan, in the role OF
Wellborn, is an excellent romatic
hero, and undoubtedly gets more
out of his Lines than any other
member of the cast, with the ex-
ception of Hampden and Mary
Hall, who appears as Lady All
worth.
A delicious bit of comedy is
given by Edwin Cushman, as Over
reach's henchman. Marrall, and
students of, period pastry might
well study the remarks of r. j.
Kelly. as the greedy Justice

The following is a detailed &C
count Of the life and death of Michael
Wagner, a former resident of Man
kato townships: Michael Wagner
was born June 10, 1849 In Bavaria,
Germany. He came to America in
the year 1871, settling in the vicini-
ty of Mankato. He was married in
1874 and moved upon a farm about
two miles east of Mankato. In
1880 he purchased farm four miles
south of Mankato on the Pohl road
and lived there and was engaged in
farming until 1908, when he retired
from active life, but still remained
on the farm with his sons until the
year 1920, when-he moved with his
FAMILY to Mankato, where he resid-
ed up to the time OF his death.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
widow and the following children:
Mrs. c.. G. Stewart, Kansas City;
Mrs. George Thinker. Lime town
ship; Mrs. Otto Kammerer, Manka-
to; Mrs. Richard Fischer, Mankato
township; Mrs. Joseph Thinker, Bel
grade township; Nicholas, Sebastian
and A. J. Wagner, Mankato town
ship. One daughter Elizabeth pre-
ceeded him in death nineteen years
ago.
Through the death Of Michael
Wagner the community loses one
OF its most prosperous and highly
respected pioneer citizens. He was
in robust health until about the
month of May 1928, at which time
he began to fail. 1t was soon after
wards discovered that Mr.. Wagner
was suffering from an advanced
stage of cancer Of the stomach, and
on October 20, 1923, he submitted to
an examination at the Mayo Clinic
at Rochester, Mimi, where he as
certained that his time on this earth
would be of short duration. He ac-
cepted the decision calmly and pre-
pared himself for the end which
came to him peacefully on Novem-
Der 7. 1923. at st. Joseplks Hospital
