MISS RUTH GATES WITH POLI PLAYERS The sudden {llness of Miss Mar-~ guerite Skirvin, the leading woman of the Poli Players, which necessitated her retirement from the cast after Wednesday evening's performance, fs regretted by her friends, On Monday as the leading woman of the Players, playing the leading female role in “The Calling of Dan Matthews.” Next wek is “Mr, Ayres’ Farewell Week” at Poli’'s theater and the popular lead- ing man will have an excellent op- portunity of displaying a character in which theatergoers seem to like him very much, As Dan, in “The Shepherd of the Hills,’ he was. well cast and in “The Calling of Dan Mat- role for “The Calling” is a campanion play of “The Shepherd;” some crit- ics call it the sequel, It is just as sympathetic; just as human and even more interesting, Like the play which the players have already ap- peared it is based upon the novel by Harold Bell Wright, There will doubtless be & general desire to see the play, Sunday evening there will be sacred concert at Poli’s theater for the benefit of local charitable work. The feature picture will de a dramat- ization of James A, Hearn’'s noted play, ‘‘Shore Acres.” This remark- able play offers many opportunities for the intreduction of fine scenic ef- fects, even bevond those introduced in the play, “Shore Acres” was not- ed as a dramatic piece and its intro- a ® Or over for the orphanage. | and New Haven) and many managers duction into photoplays.is.said to be even as remarkable Na admission | is charged but a silver collection will | be taken at the door, all the proceeds ! being devoted ‘to charity, afternoon Miss Ruth Gates will open | thews,” he will be seen in the same | Columbia University Curriculum Everything from First Aid to Slip Knots Taught Students | Being Prepared During the Summer for Scout Masters, It's a blow if vour notion of uni- versity education has been of clois- tered absorption in Plato, Kant and spiral nebulae to discover what things have crept into the university bill of fare. Football may have wrenched your early expectations and the cir- riculum on millinery given a new filup to the academic flavor, and now so stern a place as Columbia has gone-.all. the way. It gives a course in Boy Scouting. No books are needed. Professor James C. Elsom—who has done it all before at the universities of Virginia and Wisconsin—may point a reference or two in lecture time-to anthropo- logical volumes that trace the theory of boy develgpment, as one ~which retraces in every human life the slow development of ‘the race from sav- agery to civilization but books are few. How could the class use them, when. half the time the class meets in a swimming, pool or on the campus benches? Chinese Students Learn. Professor Elsom is a member of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and the fifteen men whao are his pupils will soon, if they are not already, be scout masters. On the side many of them are teachers, school superintendents and social workers from many divers places. Two are from China—two voung = men, who know that though West may be West and East may be East in the rhyme, that boys are boys, almond- eyed, or pug-nosed, brown, white or black, the world around. Sign Talk. Neither you nor a visiting Oxford don must lift the questioning eyvebrow if just by chance you should catch the class of unawares and find them thin men and fat, making signs of a knife in the stomach. Tt is only an hour in the sign language of the Chippewas, perhaps, or the Zunis. And the class s saying: “We are hungry.” If they are raising two fingers and wigwag- ging you are hearing them mention God, or if you catch them sweeping the air just as high as their hearts, know that the word is “‘good.” Day For First Ald. of the National Y. M. C. A. The boy’s reading interests were discussed by Mr Franklin K. Matthews, Chief Scout Librarian and Walter P. Mc- Guire, editor of “Boys' Life,” the official Boy Scouts’ magazine; Dr. Richardson, professor of theology in Boston University, and Rev. F. T. Gal- Pin of Pittsburgh, spake on the boys’ religion and character-building. So great an enthusiasm has been arouséd by Professor Elsom's work that the members of both classes have united in forming a Scoutcraft Club, with Prafessor Elsom as honorary president. This club has two pur- poses. One, to keep the members of the first Scoutcraft course at Colum- bia 'permanently in touch, after their work together has ceased; the other, to keep-alive the interest and knowl- edge of scouting at the university. It ig to 'be Mopetl thHat before many Vears there,will be similar ‘courses in every colleges -and=ufiver§ity’ in the country’ “Scouting’ - says *Professor Elsam,’ “I consider to be the greatest and strongest fattor in education in the last century.” MILITARY DRAMA AS ~ KEENEY'S FEATURE “The Commanding Officer,”” an in- teresting military drama, will top the Keeney motion -picture program to- night. This feature is a picturization of the novel of the same name. It makes an excellent photo-play and it is bound to satisfy the Keeney patrons. The piece is in four parts. Vying with it for premier honors will be “The White Sister,” the Es- senay screen production of F, Marion Crawford's great novel. 'Viola Allen will be seen in the title role and Richard C, Travers and other artists, famous for their work on the stage, will also have important parts. A capacity audience witnessed the pic- turization of the story last night and they spoke enthusiastically of its merits today. 'Six reels are required to unfold this wonderful romance. And don’t waste your sympathy if you see the whole group tied up in bandages or the very earnest young Chinese. being borne . away on stretcher. This only means that Tues- day is the day for first aid as the scout masters are going to have to teach it. And don’t imagine yourself in the presence of a collection of de- mented young seafaring men if you find the class all in a row with hemp in the hands tying knots. That too, is part of the game. No need to dodge a possible mation picture man if you see the whole fifteen wildly waving the arms of floating flags. It isn’t a Charlie Chaplin plot, but a lesson in signalling. So it goes—practical things, jolly ones, these are the things our col- leges have come araund to teaching to fit men for the task of dealing with the regular boy, the kind that to save his' soul can’t help from being de- liciougly what he is, a young bar- barian with the need for something to da, for somewhere to go, for tests and games and a cargo of facts about trees and water and air, but for an that the kind of a person that, like his English brothers in time of family or national disaster can be mustered thousands strong to be the swift young errand-running feet of great events. Professor Elsom’s other course, on the educational priciples underlying the Scout programmne, is quite as in- spiring. Ineeed, one of the biggest values of either course is in simply knowing Professor Elsom; in realiz- ing that this is the kind of man that stands for the Scout movement; and { in knowing and sharing his enthusi- asm. Who wouldn’'t be a ‘“good Scout” with Professor Elsom to show him how? Helpful Speakers. Part of the course consists in hear- ing and questioning speakers who are authorities in particular lines of Scout activities. Among these speak- ers are Mr. James E. West, Chief Scout Executive; Mr. E. M.
