Plan of the Garrick
Players

WITH the announcement Of the Gar
" rick players headed by Basil Sydney
and Mary Ellis reopening the Gar
rick Theatre on October "a with
Shakespeare's "The Tanning Of the
Shrew," in modern dress, there now
comes, in the nature of an interview
from Mr. Sydney, some news regard
ing their future policy.
''The aim Of the theatre, mainly"
said Mr.. Sydney, twill be to try and
establish some newer and more
original American and foreign plays,
by giving them a justice of cast and
scenery they could not so easily get
in a larger house on account of the
high rental which prohibits the pro-
duction of a costlier imaginative play
from an unknown playwright with
the genius of an O'Neill unless he
had the name of an O'Neill.

mobiles 1t is about movie-mad
wife whose Imagination is always
several blocks ahead of her slow-go-
ing husbands. 1t has the usual mis-
taken identity plot, same as Shakes
speare used, only now the lubricants
of farce have grown cynical. They
no longer describe the mistake in
identity to resemblance of feature or
mere chance, but to deliberate lying
by the heroine.
This heroine, has been writing the
usual uncle some falsehoods about
her affluent circumstances, (the petit
bourgeois notion of keeping up ap-
pearances" carried a little too far)
when he comes to visit and forgive the
husband who eloped with his niece;
they are afraid to tell him that said
husband is only shipping clerk in a
butter and egg house, instead of own
ing the business. The husband is
impressed as butler, to put up front,
and then, when necessary to produce
a husband, a physician who is nabbed
by chance is brot in to act the part.
The laughs center around such in
cidents as the attempt of the pseudo
husband to talk like Secretary to
the hens" and the antics of a cop
who steals all his hosts cigars while
delivering a pensive lecture on the
disappointing propensity of the ma
jority of mankind for "staylin." And
of course the confusion about the
bed rooms
Besides little punch at the police
department, Larry E. Johnson, au-
thor, has it in for California. Uncle
and heroine are born there. But in
stead of haling from some of the
properly Spanish named California
towns, he has them come out of
"Bob's Corners" Which I take to be
a slam at the old pioneer village of
Dutch Corners, name lately changed
for real estate purposes to "Ducor."
Well, anyway it's that kind of a
play. 1t won't hurt you. The men
are good actors; those of the women
who are not, are easy to look upon.

wife of the shipping clerk, is both.

The English are far ahead of us

Nash Buckingham intimates In an ar

ductiveness." writes Mr.. Buckingham,

Says Tournament Golf
Becoming Too Popular

Some golfers point out that there
is such thing as tournament golf be-
coming too popular, writes II. g. Sal
singer in the Detroit News.
They point to the crowds of 1900
that packed around Bobby Jones on
his last round In the United States
open at Scioto, and the $4,000 that
jammed the fairways when Jones and
George Won Elm fought it out for the
United States amateur title at Baltus-
rol.
The severe mental strain caused by
the unwieldy mob takes too much
from actors In this golf drama.
Jones has the heavier load to carry.
He is always taxed more than his OPP
ponent, for Jones Is the magnet. He
knows it and feels constantly that 1t
is up to him to deliver 1t is next to
impossible for him TO keep from over
pressing.
That Jones won at Scioto In the
face of conditions was remarkable !;
that he lost at Baltusrol was not sur
prising.
You will probably say that it must
have been as tough for Won Elm as 1t
was for Jones, but that was not the
case. Jones had the mob at his heels
for five days before he met Won Elm.
He was already worn out by the time
he teed off against Won Elm. The
challenger was fresh. No crowd had
pressed him through five days of com
petition

sistently Outyielded Marquis and also that
in each of the six variety tests carried on
in Richland county the last year, it out
yielded Marquis. He also states that in
milling quality it is Of equal value, and
that in appearance it is very similar to
Marquis. Supreme wheat has been de-
veIOped by the experimental stations and
is a selection from Red BObs wheat.
If Supreme wheat continues to give yields
under Richland county conditions as it did
the last year, it will replace Marquis en-
tirely, and if this happens, says Mr.. De-
Pue. it will be the means Of increasing the
wheat production of the county by at least
a quarter of a million bushels from the
same acreage of land through it's higher
yielding ability.
