Anyone who was justifiably
impressed with the Eva lie Gal
lienne Interpretation Of Romeo
and juliet" behind the Fox foot
lights, will be interested to know
that this balcony scene occupies
a spot in her memory that will
probably never be replaced by
any other of her portrayals.
AS a young miss of IA at the
famous Beerbohm Tree Academy,
over London way, she played this
scene as her final examination,
and needless to say passed with
all possible honors.
Her first appearance in Romeo
and Juliet" was at the Forrest
in Philly, April 8, 1880. She
played the National here on her
road tour. This was the same
year that Katharine Cornell
opened her Romeo and Juliet in
Buffalo, November 20.

Cant talk about that either he
said.
Mr.. Robinson smiled as he re-
fused to answer any and all ques-
tons. Then he gave what he
termed his only statement. 1t was:
Il am not at this time candidate
for President or any other Office. I
am busy practicing law. The con-
vention is a year from now. Any
thing can happen. There are many

Before suspending the fine and

Judge Baker, in open court, criti-
cised Indianapolis police for failing
to make arrests in an automobile
accident in which Talcott Powell,
Times editor and his wife, were in
volved last winter.
1.-THE police have not been making
arrests as they should" Judge Bak-
err told Wayman and Deputy Prose-
.cutor James Watson.
IF this man we're Talcott Powell
he might have got cut of this, ,"
Judge Baker continued. Influential
men like Talcott Powell can go out
in a car in which four people are
injured. three of them sent to a
hospital and one unconscious and do
the things that we're done and then
have to blackmail in order to get out
of the trouble and then think he
can turn around and blackman this

Judge Baker continued: "Talcott
Powell's wife was drunk and had an
accident. She sent three people to
the hospital yet the police didn't
make an arrest. Powell was with
her at the time"
