Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. GEORGES, Bermuda, August
25-Devils Hole, q large pool fed by
subterranean passages from the ocean
and populated with ferocious fish, this
month celebrated the centenary of its
discovery by colored slaves. The name
was given because Of the superstitious
dread of the place, with its gurgling
and rumbling as water rushed in
from the sea.
Devils Hole Is at present stocked
with savage barracuda, morays, an
octopus, several giant turtles and
many native Bermuda fish. Visitors
to the islands stand on q bridge
arched over the pool and drop lines
OF bait into it. When the fish snap
at the casting lines, they can be pulled
several feet out Of the water before
they release their hold.

Roadside Group Offer Old Idea
Of'The Drunkord
BY ANDREW r. KELLEY

Those Roadside Players have a
deep and abiding respect for the
aged. They take the mellow and
venerable script of "The Drunk
ard" and play it for all it is worth
as a temperance lesson with a
moral.
Now 1t so happens that lines
written in 1840, or thereaboutS,
with dramatic business that sup
plies extravagant flouriShes and
those antique asides, are funny
enough when tranSplanted to this
day and age.
With the RoadSiders, the play
and not the laugh is the thing.
To be sure there is comedy to
spare in the telling gestures and
the old fashioned lines that your
great grandmother and her ma
found gripping and SuSpenseful.

briefer and arrive at the given
point; 1.-The Drunkard" offers

years recently became a tllm
censor.
"And is he cleaning up!"
Into town last week came a
young gentleman from Texas.
He had letters to several Broad
wayites from some mutual
friends, and the boys escorted
him around town for a night
or two.
The first night, the Texan
drank heavily and showed no
i'll effects. On the second
night, just to see how much he
could really stand, the boys
placed a quart of rye in front
of him in a restaurant and
told him to enjoy himself.
To their amazement, this
hardy bird finished the COM
plete quart of rye with his
meal. They ordered him an
other quart-and he went half
through it with straight drinks
without showing the slightest
sign of drunkenness.
One Broadwayite, his eyes
almost popping from his head,
Ventured an inane remark.
Like the stuff, eh?" he asked.
The Texan smiled and
poured himself another drink.
Down home" he drawled, Il
love it. But, hell-the humid
ity's so bad up here in New
York that a feller can't really
appreciate his liquor!"
