vince her to give it up, but she
won't hear of it. It's. just that
she enjoys knowing people like
her cooking.
"She certainly doesn't make any
money. She could quit now and
take it easy for the rest of her
life. But no." Hubert concluded,
unable to understand his mothers
enthusiasm, "she goes right on
working all day and every day

IT'S A RACKET

NEW YORK, Aug 8.-U.D
Lady Nancy Astor, outspoken
former member of the British
house of commons, declared to-
day that tne Jewish under
ground movement in Palestine
was a "racket" financed by
American funds.
The Virginia-born Lady Aston
left on the Queen Mary To-Day
for England.
81 can't understand why the
British soldiers can be so patti
ent in this matter" she said.
"The Palestine movement is not
a spiritual movement, as l see
it, but purely political.
"Do you know of any Amerl-
can or British Jews who want
to live in Palestine? No. Who's
keeping this whole thing going
over there? American money is
keeping the Jewish under
ground in Palestine going. It's
a racket"
She had visited relatives in
Philadelphia for the last 10
weeks.

WIFE

On last Monday, McMath said,
his father maltreated and bruised
his daughter-in-law, Anne, during
one of his drinking bouts.
When the elder man came again
yesterday, McMath said, he began
abusing a horse and Anne remon.
strated with him.
"He flew into a rage, threaten
inc to kill the horse and harm
her. McMath said his wife told
him. MY wife said she ran into
the house and picked up my old

he would ask Circuit Judge Clyde

last appearance on the Thaliar
stage.
Satisfied with the questionable
laurels he had won, he retired
to the pursuit of business, to which
he assiduously devoted himself for
the remainder of his life.
Thomas Loring, who was
identified with the press Of North
Carolina for many years, was
characterized by Colonel Burr, on
the other hand, as an excellent
performer in the higher walks Of
tragedy.
Loring had a face of marked
expression and a voice deep-chest-
ed and sonorous.
In his portrayal of the character
of Shylock and the Duke Of Clos
ter were an earnestness and pas
sion not quickly forgotten.
Burr illustrates Loring's power
as an actor by relating an account
of his f~orceful delineation CT the
role of the Duke OF Gloster.
The audience had assembled.
The orchestra of two Wilmington
men, Henry Sampson and Philip
Brazadier, who were always en-.
gagged for occasions of increment,
had finished the grand overture.
Then the curtain rose and the
performance began.
Loring's soul was in the part he
played.
An unnatural light cleaned in his
eye.
His stage gestures were fierce,
vehement and abrupt.
His frame trembled with the
passion that enveloped him, and
he became more and more excited
as the play progressed.
This trend was viewed with ap-
prehension and anxiety by the
two fiddlers in the orchestra.
They kept a troubled eye upon
him, for to their disturbed lmagi-
nations Loring, as the Duke OF
Gloster, seemed to be hurting his
anathemas down upon their heads
alone.
In the fifth act Richard rushes
upon the stage, sword in hand.
Distracted and maddened by de-
feat, he offers his kingdom for a
horse.
It was at this point that the
frenzied Loring made a fearful
lunge at the footlights, his gleam-
ing sword flashing within inches
of the terrified musicians. q
In a tWinkling two coattails were
fluttering in the air, two pairs of
heels we're clearing the orchestra
at a bound.
And the frantic fiddlers were
rushing headlong and hatless from
the auditorium, with nary & look
behind.

Two of the llustrious gauants
who contributed to the hesplar
fortunes of the second company Oh
Wilmington's ITALIAN players
stand apart as sharply contrasting
personalities in the performances
eiven during their years OF great
est theatrical activity prior to 1871.
They we're James Telfair, a
worthy gentleman indeed though
regrettably timid, and Thomas
Loring, a dynamic character OF
force and verve who was the anti
thesi, of all that Tefair persona
fled.
Telfair's diffidence was so great,
according to the ITALIAN history
chronicled by Col. James G. Burr,
that the glare of the footlights and
the gaze of the audience frequent
ly wrecked his presence OF mino.
It was for this reason that the
directors of the ITALIAN plays
usually cast him in some inferior
part, where his blunders were
calculated not to affect too ma
~terially the action of the piece.
However, a lamentable mishap
occurred on one occasion while
the play Orchard the Second
was being presented.
Telfair was cast to appear as one
of the halberdiers guarding the
corpse of King Henry the Sixth
as it was borne upon the stage and
followed by Lady Ann in mourn
ing.
AS the bearers move on with
The corpse in this scene, in obedi-
ence to the command of Lady
Ann Gloster enters suddenly and
orders them to set the casket
down.
He threatens to make a corpse
OF him who disobeys.
Telfair's part consisted of but
ont line:
MY lord, stand back and let
the coffin pass.
But the poor fellow was so con-
fused by the fiery action of the
tmpetuous G1oster that he COM
pletely forgot the words of the
text.
And he blurted out at the top OF
his voice:
Stand back, my lord, and let the
parson cough"
The mournful cortege became
eonvulsed.
Gloster could not control his
laughter and hurriedly disappear
ed from the stage.
And the curtain dropped amid
hilarious shouts and encore calls
from a delighted audience.
This marked James Telfair' S
