it is not so conspicuous as the buffalo's. Their color is dark brcwnish to black with lighter brown or cream color on the back. They grow an undercoat of thick wool. and through this wool grow long black guard hairs that may sweep almost to the ground, giv- ing the animal a stocky appear ance. Mature animals weight ap- proximately 5C0 pounds, some times more.
 Can Defend Selves
 "A distinctive feature of the musk oxen is the heavily horned head Mature bulls have horns whose massive bases are close to- gether at the forehead, and after descending turn sharply upward and end in sharp points. The horns of the female are similar but somewhat more slender. These make excellent weapons against wolves, which are the only formid- able natural enemies of the musk oxen. When attacked, the adult animals form a circle with horns outward and with the calves pro- tected within the circle.
 Effective as this is against wolves, it is suicidal against men armed with rifles. Hunters were probably able to kill most of a herd, which often represented all the musk-oxen within many miles. Musk-oxen rarely trave, far from their local range.
 Tn summer the animals feed on grass and succulent herbage. In winter they feed on dried grasses and browse on dwarf willows. They like to feed on open-wind-swept ridges and other high places where the wind blows away the snow, but they are able to paw away snow and reach deeply buried food. Sur prisingly. they seem to keep fatter and in better condition in winter than in summer. Their heavy coats protect them against the cold of winter and against insect attacks in summer.
 Few Are Imported
 Relatively few muskoxen have been imported into the United States. The first was delivered te the New York Geological Park 1T 1902. New York, Washington ano Philadelphia zoos have musk-oxen and the usual experience has beer that the animals are gentle an6 tractable. This indicates that tht

SHAKESPEARE
BY ENGLISH
COMPANY

The stratfor d-Upon.Avon
Festival Company, now on It's
second tour Of North America,
under the direction of the
board of governors Of the
Shakespeare Memorial Theater,
possesses q background Of tradi.
ton which IS an inspiration to
everyone connected with the or
ganiEation. The company has
existed for nearly half a century,
giving season Of Shakespearen
plays in the spring and summer
of each year at Stratford-U Upon
Avon. In its early years, there
were frequent changes in the
personnel Of the company, but,
during the past 10 years. since
w. Bridges Adams becameSSh
director, a strong effort has
been made to keep the same
players together year after year,
SO that, in time, the company
will develop in precisely the
same fashion that a symphony
orchestra is developed through
long association.
The first important per-
Torrance Of a Shakespearean
play at Stratford occurred in
1748. more than q century after
the poets death. Upon that oc-
caSion, John Ward, the grand
father Of Mrs. Siddons, with his
company, presented "Othe1lo"
for the purpose of raising funds
to repair the monument of
Shakespeare in the Stratford
Church. The first Shakespeare
festival took place at Stratford
in 1869 and was under the di-
rection of Garrick, DR.. Arne,
and Boswell. The festivities
were repeated in 1927 and 1880,
and it was planned to hold a !,
similar celebration every three
years. The plan was aban-
doned. however, and the next
Stratford celebration was the
tercentenary celebration Of 1854.
In 1875, a few Stratford men, ,
headed by the late Charles Ed
ward Flower, formed the Me
mortal Theater Association and
erected the fine Shakespeare
Memorial Building, which was
opened in 1879 and was de-
Stroyed by fire three years ago.
It was in this theater that the
festival company played. Since
the calamity, the organization
has appeared In q small thea
ter in the town Of Stratford,
but, within two years time, it
will move into a magnificent
new structure, the cornerstone
of which was laid last summer.

NOLAN'S
ROLE IS MOST
UNUSUAL

Set against q background Of
bleak rocks and wild seas,
Mary Nolan" is seen in q most
unusual role OF tense drama at
the Rialto Theater this week.
"undertow' is the name Of the
production which was directed
by Harry Pollard, the director
Of Show Boat"
"Undertow" is the story OF .
beautiful girl who is married to
. man Of many misfortuneS,
which cause him to retire from
the world Of gayety the girl
has known and loved. Love at
first makes q paradise Of the
drab retreat, but the time comes
when this tlneventful existence
becomes unbearable.
Still Loyalty loving her hus-
band, the young girl cannot for
get her carefree and joyous life
before marriage, and the man
to whom she was engaged, but
who lost her when she married
her present husband. The eli,
max comes when her husband
adds the loss Of sight to his
other misfortunes and they re-
tire to q lonely lighthouse on q
rocky, Sea-waShed coast. Bravely
trying to forget her troubles in
helping her husband with his
work, the girl decides to &C
cept her fate when destiny
brings back her former sweet
heart who has become an In
Spector Of lighthouses.
T On the bleak shores a mighty
drama unfOlds with q back
ground Of rugged natural
scenery which adds greatly to
the realistic movement Of the
story. Miss Nolan, it is said,
reaches the greatest heights Of
her successful career in the in
tensely emotional scenes that
take place in the embodiment Of
the powerful plot.
In the cast with Miss Nolan

Churchill Ross and John Mack
Brown. Brown was a national
football idol on the University
Of Alabama team when he was

Inspiration From War

Lii Hatvany, author Of 1.-THE

Barrymore appears at Polls

write a drama when she was
in Berne, Switzerland, during

The atmosphere Of this neu-

out of it she wrote "Noah's
Ark" because everybody went
about in pairs, suspicious Of
