"R. u. WILDE" TO
START REHEARSAL
Big Musical Comedy TO Have Large
Local Cast, Benefit Alumni

y NRehearsals for Milford's big laugh
show, "R. U. Wilde" which is to be
presented as a benefit for the Alum
nj Association, at the Plaza Theatre
on Tuesday night, March 8, are to
commence this evening. The chill
dren are to have first rehearsal to-
morrow afternoon. A selected cast
of Milford's best singing, dancing
and dramatic talent are to take
part, besides a large number of
children who will be seen in a big
spectacular number entitled "The
Bouquet"
"R. U. Wilde" as the name would
imply, is a comedy, written for
laughing purposes only, a big
scream from start to finish. The
comedy hinges around a secret mar
riage, the contracting parties as
suming the ficticous name of Mr..
and Mrs. Wilde, and going to a Sc
cluded spot, as they suppose, on
Long Island to live, and the many
complications arising form the basis
for a breezy fast action comedy. The
singing and dancing choruses are up
to the minute, and the songs of the
popular variety.
The Wheeler Producing Company
which is staging the show, is not
new to Milford audiences, having
staged several of their shows here
for the Alumni several years ago;
among them, Melody Land, Jane"
and "Friend From India"
The Alumni Association is in need
of funds for their scholarship fund
and the support of the alumni and
their friends is solicited. Popular
prices will prevail, prices within the
reach of all. and a high class en-
tertainment is assured.

rano, labor leader at Cavite, where the
Manila Bay naval base Is located-has
supported the measure.
DR.. Felix de Leon, member Of a
wealthy family of planters of Bulacan,
ridiculed the manner in which he said
Filipinos have paid obesiance to Amer
ican officials. Governor General Theo-
dore Roosevelt, he said, with two
words in Tagalog, meaning How many
children have you?' conquered the Fill
pinos like Napoleon conquered Europe,
but more quickly"
De Leon, uncle Of the wife of
Speaker Manuel Roxas, who heads the
Philippine Independence Mission now
In the United States, declared the 1926
organic Jones act stated stable gov
ernment was the only prerequisite of
independence. Now new conditions
are imposed. Maybe more will be when
these are complied with"
Other critics of the bill at today's
hearing were Bienvenido de la Paz, for
mer newspaper editor, and Heremeno-
