PLAN EXTENSION
OF ORNAMENTAL
STREET LIGHTS

Ornamental street lighting for
State and Broadway between Fourth
and Eighth streets and for cross
streets between the north side of
Broadway and the south side of
Grange streets, may soon be real
ity following meeting of property
owners of the district yesterday.
The meeting named a committee
to draw up plans and specifiea,,
tions and these will be submitted
to all property owners in the dis
trict for approval.
Phil W. knights, city engineer,
met with the property owners and
gave them information on the pro-
cedure to be followed in bringing
their plans to completion.
The meeting also decided to make
a determined effort to have state
street opened east of Fourth street,
feeling that the expenditure requir-
ed for the ornamental street light
ing will justify this action and rec
ognizing the fact that another
commercial artery through the bus
mess district is essential for the
proper development of the city.
Another meeting will be held in
the near future.

LITERATURE SECTION PRESENTS
UPROARIOUS COMEDY FOR CLUB

"Will's Women, the uproarious
farce given yesterday for the Ten
Thousand club by the Literature
section, was one of the most enter
tanning programs of the year, the
play being produced under the cap
able direction of Mrs. Ross I. Hick
cox.
The comedy continues the story
of six of Shakespeare's heroines,
showing them at that stage in their
lives when romance has faded and
disillusionment made its inroads.
AS the curtain goes up, living
room in summer cottage at the
wellknown water place of Jacum-
ba is revealed.
Juliet Mrs. Hugh T. Osborne) en-
tiers, signing at her prosaic, com
monplaee life, wishing that Romeo
would be once more her ardent low
er instead of taunting her with her
predictions for balcony scenes.
The next character thai appears
is Portia, played by Mrs. C. w.
Maitland, whose husband, Bassanio.
has so made away with her fortune
in lending money for the uncertain
ventures of his friend Antonio, that
all her lands have fallen into the
hands of Shylock who now resides in
Belmont.
A pretty, docile Ophelia who is
eternally quoting her husband, "as
Ham says" joins the first two, sigh
ing because Of her husbands con
tinual vapors and eternal soliloquies
on abstract matters which make her
life somewhat melancholy.
As the three women discuss their
lots, Lady Macbeth enters Mrs. c.
E. Sones) to warn them against a
young playwright, Will Shakespeare
by name, who is forever on the
look out for material for his plays
and who even now is in Jacumba.
Reciting her sad fate at the hands
of this rascally author who made
her appear as vile murderess, the
facts being far to the contrary,
Lady Macbeth bids them beware.
Sirens Entrancing
Just then Iris, handmaiden to
the Egyptian, Cleopatra, appears at
lHC uoOl- tiistA iANi AiASNA NS1
desires to talk with them on this
same subject of Will Shakespeare.
LADY Macbeth bids her bring her
mistress 10 them, and Cleopatra
(Mrs. W. c. Costello) enters, assur-
ing them that they have nothing to
fear from Shakespeare if they use
her method of approach as he has
written only delightful compliments
about her, and to prove her point
recites certain of the passages.
Indignant, Lady Macbeth leaves,
Ophelia, frightened by the gorgeous
foreigner, scurries off, Portia, in
suited at the thought that Will
might dare to use her for story,
also leaves, but Juliet, fascinated
by the famous siren, timidly asks
her how she deals with men, and
Cleopatra, delighted to. have an
other disciple, sends Iris for Shake
speare as the curtain falls.
