Contend Street Widening
Would Add to Congestion

York Street Civic league. Property
owners resented an inference that
they are obstructionists because the
improvement was opposed.
I'VE contend that the improve
ment would add to, rather than re-
lieve, congestion. The project should
start at East street and extend east
ward to relieve the 'bottle-neck con-
dition," the report stated. Property
owners also objected to assessments
for a main thoroughfare.
The committee, composed of
Samuel Harrig, chairman, c. C..
Livingstone and Robert Hall, de-
clared property owners are willing
to stand a 25 per cent assessment
but object to the 80 per cent, which
the works board proposed.
Theodore Dammeyer, works board
president, indicated the board will
take no immediate steps to push the
project.

MEXICO REBELS
Federal Forces Renew At
tack at Jiminez.
By. G.. L. FINE
United Press staff Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, April 2.-After
reported successes on two principal
fronts, federal forces today were
prepared to press their advantage
against the rebels and to renew
their attack on Jiminez, in Chi
hauhau, and on La Cruz, in the Pa
cific coast sector.
Plutarco Elias Gales, III COM
mand of the government field oper-
ations, Informed the presidential
that federal troops we're in posses
sion of the principal half of Jimi-
nez and expressed the belief that
after a renewed attack not a rebel
would be left in the town.
Officials of the government await
ed reports of the battle with great
anxiety, regarding it as one of the
most important engagements Of the
rebellion.
More than one hundred we're
killed in action in the Sinaloa bat
ties Monday and fifty were cap
tured. it was announced. Only
twenty federal soldiers we're slain.
The rebels, reported partly diSor-
ganized, were retreating toward Gu

BERkELL PLAYERS
COME INTO THEIR OWN

The second that Charles Berkell
decided to present the comedy
Meet the Wife" I knew right then
and there that his new players were
up against their first real test Of
their ability.
And the verdict is this-neyer in
the history of Berkell in this city
has his company ever given more
polished and finished performance
than they are giving in Meet the
Wife"
There are several outstanding tri-
umphs along acting lines this week
Of course, the marvellous thing
about it is that Miss Mary Louise
Walker proves that she is gor-
geouS actress in smart comedy. She
has the way, the voice, the nervous
tempo Of Gertrude LennoX. one OF
those human pests who runs a huS-
band into an earthquake and an
other one prays for such an explo-
sion of nature. III other words, Mrs.
LennoX is the grand old thing who
just talks her way out Of one foolish
situations right into another one
more ridiculous.
Miss Walker by her work in this
comedy has established herself as a
really gifted and a sincere player.
She is dressing the role along the
correct Mary Boland lines. Her
climax or fall in the first act is
splendidly done and all of her eX-
IRENE Dulcy situations are splendid
ly put over. This is her triumph
this week and what a guarantee
for the future. Just watch this
woman have this good old town
right down on its knees in
acknowledging her ability. MI
Berkell will be very wise if he will
le+ her play the leads in Lulu
Belle" THE Famous Mrs. F'aire"
and 1.-The Trial of Mary Dugan."
He has decided to present her in
The Scarlet Woman" a play zen
last season at English'S under the
title of The Imperfect Woman"
and as played by Pauline Frederick.
Just watch her go to town, as they
say, in those leading roles. Things
are now looking right and worth
while in the Berkell troop.

tanned character work is done by

LOOKING OVER
NEW LYRIC BILL

Things are generally tame on the
current bill at the Lyric with the
exception of two acts. The out
standing artist is Ann Clifton, who
puts on a male impersonation act
that has merit and is different.
She opens in male impersona-
ton stunt and then on a dark stage
becomes a dashing woman. Her
voice in the higher register is good.
Miss Clifton is gifted with a good
sense Of ShoWmanship and she al
ways keep one guessing just what
she iS-man or woman.
