the guilds first success. And 1t
is the foundation upon which the
present great fame and exalted
position of the Theater Guild is
based.
The guild started it's existence
early in 1919 with a production
of Benavente's Bonds of Inter
est" The play was received very
coldly and failed to attract the
theater-going public. The initial
capital of the guild was very
small and it was exhausted by the
failure of Bonds of Interest"
John Ferguson" was selected
as second production. With
. cash capital of exactly $19.65 Il
production was assembled and play
offered to the public. Old scenery
and tireless energy expended by
every one connected with the
guild made possible the seemingly

Undaunted the guild went ahead
and when the play opened it re-
ceived excellent mention from the
press. Ferguson" was a fine
play. excellently done and the
public responded. The play ran
for more than seven months and
brought the guild enough money
to start a new season.
All of which expls ins what the

novels and plays, and is now
temporarily dramldc critic on the

MOTHERLESS CHILD
 GETS MANY MAMAS
Colds at University Of Tennes-
 see Adopt Founding

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. "A year 4g0, Richard P. House didn't have my mother at all-but today has 1uSt lots of 'cm,
 A year ago Richard was q pury infant lying listlcssly on a cot in hnoXvillc's Homo for Friendlcss Ba- Dlcs. He was just one of the 80 ifs ill the institution. There was little that Richard could claim as his own except his name. his tag and his rec ord of having been pulled through :. mighty bad case of pneumonia.
 Just about that time girl students in the home economics department q! the University of Tennessee here decided they wanted to adopt ba- by-a sort ot live, flesh and blood textbook for their lessons in child 'arc and home making. With their teacher, they went "babv shopping" to the instution where Richard lay.
 Nobody Else Wanted Him
 We saw q lot of smiling, rosy ! checked youngsters says Miss Cla- rico Strickland, ono of the students, but Richard was so peaked and sick looking that we were afraid no one else would take him and he him, oursClves.'
 So they took Richard to live at Inc uniycrsity's 'practice house. where the girls take turn about, liv- ing there and doing practical house. keeping. Now, at ' months, Richard would hardly know himself. He is q robust youngster with fat cheeks that are as rosy as apples and good -naturcd grin that's mile wide.
 His clothes are made by the CO., eds, who keep him dressed in the height of collegiate style,
 His food is prepared by them and there is always a girl to be his nursemaid.
 Helps Colds Entertain
 When a boy friend calls at the 'praCtice house" Richard drags out Lis dolls and his building blocks and his other toys and helps entertain.
 JIc goes riding with the teachers and other admirers and is a regular young man about the campus.
 His adventures in toetbing, til" first time he craWled, those nights with the collie, his daring first step, that awful day when he fell and skinned his nose, his initial efforts 0 talk, his dict, his bath-all these have been lessons as well as mother ly joys to tho college girls.
 A new room has been built 10 the 'practice house" as Richard out grew his first nursery. His many mothers refuse to think of the time when he will no longer occupy it.
 Believes in Fairies
 But the time will come when Rich Pt-l will be boy instead of a bapy, and when that day arrives he will ne adopted by q worthy family. Un;- Ncrsity authorities arc determined that no one but those who will give the best possible care shall have him.
 Everything Richard haS-his car IlagC, toys, clothing. medicine, eac.-- has been given him by the univers- jty; all except one-third of his name. He came to the university with only the name Of Richard. nothing more Icing known. The "P House" was added, meaning the practise house."
 Richard believes in fairies now and always will, Even after he grows mp 10 be a man, he will always know that when the college girls visited the Home for Friendless Babies that day a Good Fairy stood over his cot and waved her hand.
