OF the secrets of Bob Taylors rise to

10 get back to Mr.. Strickland.
Mr.. Strickland, who is a bachelor
in his early thirties, whereas Mr..
Tuttle was a married man in his early
thirties, comes to Washington with
Just the kind of reputation needed to
take over the latter's job.
For the last four years he has
been director of the st. Louis Little
Theater. Under his direction, amateur
performers in the Missouri metropolis
have been welded into phenomenally
successful dramatic group. Twelve
and IA performances have been neces
sary in the case of virtually every
play, testifying to a popularity that
has been the envy of many another
similar enterprise throughout the
country.
Prior to his association with the
et. Louis project, Mr.. Strickland di-
rected for seven years in the famous
Stockbridge Summer Theater in Mas
sachusetts. There and on Broadway
he acquired the experience which
figured so profoundly in his subse-
Quent success in st. Louis.
The latter theater, incidentally,
conforms to the pattern of the one
which he will take over here. 1t is a
volunteer, on-commercial project de-
signed to give expression to every local
talent related to the drama.
Like Day Tuttle, Strickland is a
product Of the Yale drama school. A
STUDENT of Alexander Dean at North
western during bis undergraduate
days, he followed the latter to New
Haven for graduate work after
getting his degree at Northwestern
University.
Strickland will meet with the gen.
era membership Of the Civic Theater
for the first time tomorrow evening
The subject of their get-together will
be plans for season including seven
major productions, dramatic instruc-
ton and the schedule of workshop
evenings.

THE COURAGE OF THAT FIRST

Monday will be a bad day for the debunkers of history forshe vast majority of the nation will pause from it's business activity to pay tribute to the mem ory of the who Henry Lee described first in war, first in peace. and first in the hearts of his counrymen'-G George Washington.
 The debunkers can, and do break out from time time with what they declare to be glaring defects in the historical reports of famous men, But it appears to than passing gossip, and the people of the nation go on accaimng the great men who have served their country efficiently and well.
 The debunkers tell us that George Washington had bad teeth they overlook the fact that he did not have bad brain Some report him to be overly solemn and dignified and imbued with his own self importance, but they make mention of his undying courage exempfed when he rode at Braddocks side and glorious in defeat It is interesting to read the Encyclopaedia Britanncas historian on this point. He said:
 Tn this defeat Washington displayed the con- bination of coolness and determination the alliance of unconquerable energy with complete poise which the secret of many of his successes.

Horoscope 'The stars incline
 but do not c0mper'
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1887


 Although this is read as an inn portant day in planetary direction | it is a time for caution in speech and action.
 There is a sign that encourages meditation and frank appraise- ment of ones virtues and faults. The stars increase the clarity of spiritual vision.
 Under this planetary government the people are supposed to see their rulers without illusions and to de- mand of them the most definite and courageous attitudes toward public problems.
 Women today should attend strict ily to their homes and church du- ties, for ill omens affect human relations-especially love affairs.
 Changes in domestic customs as well as in social usages are prog nosticated. Under the reactionary influences discerned by the seers, crises of many sorts may multiply.
 As has been frequently predicted, divorce will be more widely discuss ed than formerly and the trend toward former standards in mar riage contracts will be marked. Again the seers prophecy extremes in sentiment which may exert great influence on social standards. As governments represent liberal or conservative ideals, so will these ideals be reflected in families.
 Notable careers will end in the. United States before the end of spring and the loss of leader in governmental affairs will be of special significance.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good for tune which includes many pleas ant meetings with notables. Rec reations will be numerous. i Children born on this day prob ably will be lovers of beauty as well as leaders in thought Subjects of this sign of Pisces may have strong Aquarius traits.
 John Henry Newman, religious leader, was born on this day 1901. Others who have celebrated it as birthday include Walter Taylor Field writer, 1861; E. R. Hoar, one time Secretary General, 1916.
