years of hard work, you ought to be

cities in search of instruction.
''They should get their preliminary

they should go to the nearest small

The Pioneer Today

Your real pioneer is no longer a
Marco Polo tramping through I'M
known lands, a Columbus sailing
into the sunset, a STANDBY penetrat-
ing the African jungle, or a Peary
driving his dog team across the ice
pack.
He is in the laboratory that
human hair would more than fill,
dealing with forces that are beyond
the ear and eye, scaling heights
that nothing but abstract thought
can hope to reach.
Your real pioneer of today is
crossing incalculable spaces on the
wings of pure mathematics and is
generating intangible power by in
tangible agencies.

Theatre Guild Presents Tull's Play:
Schumann-T1eink to Be Here Friday

sPlaying to house in which every
seat was taken the Indianapolis
Theatre Guild opened its 1857
season, at the Masonic Temple last
night with the presentation for the
first time on any stage Of 20. Il. d, "
a drama in three acts, by Maurice
Carter Tull.
From the standpoint of new play
on it's opening performance last
nights presentation was a success.
the theme of 20. T.. D. is novel in
the extreme, and for that matter it
would be hard to say just what i'm
preston the play will or would make
in the future after the necessary
alterations have taken place.
AS the play is now it is too long.
There are speeches by many OF the
characters that defeat their own
purpose by their length, such as
that Of Fate. who in the closing
scene tears down the work of the
weird characters in the story.
The end comes Just a. bit too alb
ruptly, instead Of bringing the
mental action TO a brilliant point and
then leaving it the present con.
clusion halts the processes of the
play so suddenly that the audience
is left wondering with no idea or
explanation to offer themselves.
Such is my idea of 80. E. d."
these things which I have talked
about are but minor things when It
comes to remodeling a play, they
are simple enough to alter and
think the play would then be good
dramatic material.
The story deals with a young girl,
who has ambitions and talent for
sculpture. The scene is Indianapo-
lis and she is shown in her room
in a rooming house on Pennsylvania
st. All the action takes place in
this room and during a single night.
We are shown the girl at a cru
cial point in her life. She has
reached the turning point where she
must either go on with her art or
go with her lover. which means
complete abandonment Of her am
bition Of fame and wealth as a
sculptress.
The author here uses his unique
method of holding the mind and
decision Of his principal character.
The walls of the room are given
speech and the power to show this
girl what has happened before in
the same room. Dreams are called
in as the medium to express the mes
sage OF the walls and through her
dreams the girl Is made aware OF
all the tragedy and beauty that the
walls have looked upon.
Some may not like this method,
but It is effective. The author leads
you along in his story so easily
that II is somewhat of a shock to
find at the end that he has just been
playing with you and tells you why.
For that is what he does when he
brings in Fate to undo the work of
the dreams.
The cast was excellent. the scenes
and mechanical work Of the very
best order, and from our viewpoint
the author and members who took
part are to be congratulated on their
offering of %. Z. D."

Hearing on Poland Naples Highway
Another hearing was held before
the commission yesterday when a
group OF citizens of Casco, Poland,
Naples and Rumford presented their
arguments in favor of the designa-
tion of a State highway as follous.
Beginning at point In the Portland
land Norway highway about one.third
Of O. mile notherly from Poland Cor
ner, passing through West Poland,
Webbs Mills and Casco, Pixies Cor
ner and Cooks Mills in Casco, over
the cement bride across Crooked riv-
er on the line between Casco and
Naples to Jackson's turn at a point
! In the Roosevelt trail, leading to
Portland to Naples Village.
The matter was discussed at some
length. A number of witnesses were
called by Judge William H. Newell
of Lewiston, who was in charge of
the presentation of the petitioners
case. No one appeared in opposi-
ton.
The first witness was Hiram w.
Kicker OF roland Spring who de-
clared that this is one of the princi-
pal roads for automobile travel and
is advertised as much as any other
section being known as a through
route from New Hampshire by Con-
way, Bridgton, Naples, Lewiston and
Auburn to the eastern part of Maine.
He pointed out that this territory is
filled with natural resources, beau
tiful lakes and hills and scenery and
that a large number of summer
camps for boys and girls established
in this section would be served by
this highway.
Daniel Hoegg of Portland. who has
several years been secretary Of the
Maine Automobile Association said
that all the standard maps designate
this road petitioned for as the main
one travelled from the White Noun
tains to Poland Spring and that the
road is very poor in summer.
Other witnesses pointed out how
the designation of this as a State
highway would increase the value of
property in that section even to the
extent of doubling it and TRIPPING it
in many cases and would also be a
great factor in repopulating aban-
doned farms in that section of the
