produced by Americas foremost
theatrical managers. the Messrs.

it's main theme, the murder of a
man who is killed by the strangest
means yet portrayed upon the stage.
The mystery of this murder is un-
solved until at the end Of the last
act, when the denouement comes like
thundeTclap. Throughout the
play is woven a pretty romance,
which lifts the listener out of the
tenseness of mystery into a lighter
mood. A sturdy strain of comedy
characterizes the entire play.

The other night at the Playhouse
1 witnessed the presentation of THE
Youngest" by Philip Barry, by Pi
Epsilon Delta, the dramatic club of
Butler University of this city.
1 was not only astonished but eX-
tremely pleased at the sense of the
alter as we'll as characterization on
the part of the students in the cast.
This, of course. is due to a great
extent and mostly to the intelligence
of Mrs. Eugene Fife to stimulate an
appreciation of doing theater' on
the part of her students.
Mrs. Fife is director of the play
and head OF dramatics at Butler. 1t
is to the everlasting credit Of such
women as Mrs. Fife that the younger
generation is growing to that point
of appreciation of the theatcr so that
character on the stage can be
created.
1t is a difficult task many times
for young people to actually get
the character of an adult, but the
Butler students actually accom-
plished this.
This was proven by the work of
Eldon Nelson and Helen Schmitz in
more or less adult roles. The work
of James Parker Wheatley as Rich
ard Winslow was always in accord
with the conception of the author.
He really carries the comedy to its
heights.
1t is this reception of the idea
OF the theater which distinguishes
the Butler Players from all other
groups. There was definite charac-
| ter projected on the stage of the

Playhouse by these Butler Players.
Others in the cast were Helen
Vennard. Hamilton Clarke, Rather
inc Treadway Neil Firestine. Marcy
Dirnberger and Henrietta Orr. The
Butler Band was heard off stage in
one of the scenes.
And the play was we'll chosen be-
cause it was in the range of char
acter conception of young people. 1t
possessed another advantage because
it has never been presented in this
city before.

No need exists for holding a spe-

The question Of whether or not the

raised when it was ascertained that
the election was held on the wrong
day.
The state law requires cities hav-
ing the aldermanic form Of govern

first Monday in April. The law in.

the first Tuesday in April. The
error two years ago apparently was
not discovered but this year the
question was raised and the city au-
ditor appealed to the attorney gen

were legal officials.
Answering the specific question il
a special election would be necessary
T the attorney general held to the con.
trary; answering question as &c
whether the acts Of the city council
during the last two years have been
legal, the attorney general held that
