TWO THEATER GUILDERS
QUIT SAME ROLE IN WEEK

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 20.-That artis.
tic temperament, unlike lightning, can
strike twice in the same place, was
demonstrated at the Theater Guild to-
day when it was discovered that
Francis Verdi, understudy for Richard
Bennett, had left the cast of They
Knew What they Wanted" as sud-
denly as the star had done earlier in
the week.
When Mr.. Bennett did not return
for his role of Tony in time for last
Monday nights performance Mr..
Verdi took his place, believing that
the part was his for the rest of the
season. On learning that the guild
had planned to feature Leo Garlic in
the same role, Mr.. Verdi became in
dignant, accused the guild of playing
false to its theory that the star sys-
tenn is all wrong. and that the little
known actor should be given his
chance. and left the cast as suddenly
as Mr.. Bennett had
The third change in the impersona-
tion of Tony in one week fell into the
hands of Edward Crawley. who ordi.
narily plays the doctor in the Sidney
Howard drama, and who will return
to his role when Leo Garlic takes the
responsibility of the italian fruit
grower tomorrow night.
1t is now believed that the play will
continue without further casualties
The officials of the guild decline 10
comment on this latest difficulty with
the role except to insist that Mr.
Garlic would certainly take over the
part of the Italian in Monday nights
performance.

versity may offer a suggestion for
other universities.
Mrs. Cresson became interested in
the proposal of the school to substi-
tute bronze plaque as memorial
to the late Baron korff and gener-
ously volunteered her services. To
her the subject had an additional
appeal, for her husband had spent
many years earlier in Russia as sec
retary to the American embassy in
st. Petersburg. The bronze fac-simile
is said by those who knew Baron
Korff to be a splendid likeness. Mrs.
Cresson recently gave an interesting
exhibit of some of her marble and
bronze works at the Corcoran Art
Gallery and is engaged now in max
ing a bust of Joseph p. Day, the
famous auctioneer OF New York.
Baron korff was regarded as one
of the leading intellectualS' of the
liberal element in Russia. He held
many posts under the Czarist regime
the last of which was vice governor
general of Finland. Forced to flee
Russia at the outbreak OF the revo-
luton, he came to the United States.
where he was much sought as a
lecturer. His lectures before at least
20 of the leading universities, on the
political and economic questions af
fecting his native land, made him
widely known here. 1t was while de-
livering one of his regular lecturs
before his Georgetown students about
a year ago that he dropped dead
His widow, the daughter of an Amer
lean admiral, is now a resident of
Washington.
The plaque was awarded for the
first time to Charles +. Stephenson
of Massachusetts.

Beautifully Sculptured Plaque
Provided as AaUard for Scholarship
Substituted for Gold
Medal by G.. U. Foreign
Service School.
Takes Place of Former
annual Memorial to
Late Baron KOrf.

| College revolts are SO much a part
| of the academic mode these days that
! one can hardly be surprised II the
spirit of rebellion extends to the high
est executives on the campus. An in
stance of this, which promises TO have
| artistic significance as well, is the dis
satisfaction expressed by the authori-
| ties of the Foreign Service School OF
Georgetown University with the tradi-
tional gold medal usually awarded for
superior scholarship. Consequently,
the Foreign Service School at it's 1925
commencement changed the Baron
Serge A. korff memorial medal to a
beautifully sculptured plaque that art
as well as commerce be served by it's
graduates as they go forth to all cor
ners of the earth representing Ameri-
can merchants of the United States
Government.
The plaque takes the place Of the
annual medal founded as a memorial
to the late Baron Korff of Russia,
! first professor in the course on pOliti-
cal and diplomatic history of Europe
at the school. 1t is given the student
doing the best work in this depart
ment. Voluntary contributions from
scores of the baron's former pupils
made the memorial possible.
The sculpture was done by Mrs. Will
liam Penn Cresson. who has a studio
in the courtyard of a famous old
Washington house on G street. She
is daughter of one of Americas most
famous sculptorS, Daniel Chester
French, designer of the Lincoln Ne
mortal Statue, the 1st Division Monu-
ment and many other noteworthy me-
MORALS throughout the United States.
Her husband, DR.. William Penn Cres-
son, now professor at the Georgetown
school in the course inaugurated by
Baron Korff, is himself a graduate of
the BeauX Arts of Paris.
AS far as known this is the first
time that this form of award has
ever been made as a permanent thing
by any American university. This

VALUED TEACHER
LOST TOEASTERN
PercivaI Padgett, for rs
Years Latin Instructor, Re-
signs His Position.

The end of this school year closes
the teacihg career of one of Eastern's
most highly esteemed teachers, Perci-
val Padgett, who, for 25 years, has
been there as an instructor of Latin.
Last week the faculty presented him
with Normandy chime clock, and
his various classes gave him a num-
Der of gifts. The final issue of the
Easterner, the schools yearbook, was
dedicated to him. 1t contained this
tribute:
MIR. Padgetts Record.
"A half century of teaching the
classics. Such Is the noble record of
Mr.. Padgett. And our good fortune
1t is to have had him with US for half
of these long years. Apart from two
short stays in two different places,
his earlier teaching was at the
famous st. Pauls School. Concord,
New Hampshire. which still holds so
warm "a place in his affection that it
is impossible to know Mr.. Padgett and
not know st. Paul's. Ample proof we
have. too, that at st. Paul's he en-
deared himself TO others as he here
has endeared himself to all.
Surely to live with the classic
tongue is to drink of the fountain of
eternal youth; for have we not visible
evidence of this truth in Mr.. Padgett's S
perennial zest in life, his ready laugh,
his unfailing geniality? His kindness,
his love of Il good story, his ca ger fel-
lowship, have won him a place in the
hearts of both colleagues and pupils.
No Eastern teacher is more beloved.
A constant question on the lips of
visiting alumni is, Where is Mr..
Padgett? l must see him..
What the School Will Miss.
with Mr.. Padgett, then, will go
from Eastern large measure of glad
ness, of friendliness, of humanity.
Sadly shall we miss his daily presence,
but We shall expect to see him often
at Eastern in the years TO come. This
hope softens the regret with which all
Eastern, faculty, alumni, students,
now say. Vale, vale, magister caris-
