County Super- intendent O. J. McManus and R. E. Wiatt and Charles Benson, proprietors of the Western Iowa college of this city, are to be the persons active in the movement The matter was brought informaily to the @attention of the Board of ducation at a special meeting yesterday afternoon, and 1t 1s said that if the plaus of the promoters succeed a definite proposition will be made o the board at its next regular meeting to Jease the ol High school building for the purposes of the Normal college The matter came before the board yester- day afternoon Secretary Ross was tnstructed to advertise for bids for the re- maining school pro| ty which the board has been authorized to sell, including the old High school, now known as the Hill @chool. It was stated that a proposition to lease the old High school property would be submitted to the board at its next regu- lar meeting by persons interested in estab- lishing a Normal college in this ci The sentiment of the members present was that such a proposition should be encouraged in every way possible, as lts successful ac- complishment would mean much to the city. There 1s, throughout fowa all the state and private tnstitutions of such a character are over- crowded. The private Normal school in Shenandoah has 500 pupils and It was stated yesterday that there would be little dim- culty in securing from 200 to 300 puplls for such a school here at the outset. The attendance of 200 pupils, it was sald, would insure the school being a success finan- cially. Member Hess of the board and his busl- ness partner, F. J. Day, said they were both lling to assist in the establishment of a Normal college in Council Bluffs, and sug- ested that a company be formed to carry | he plan into execution. The old High school building, with little expense, could be made adaptable for such a purpose and would accommodate between 400 and 500 pupils. The board fixed the value of the Woodbury | avenue school property, which the Great ‘Western rallroad desires to purchase for 4ts right of way, at $3,000. Bids on the re- maining property to be sold will be received %y Secretary Ross up to the time of the next regular meeting of the board Treasurer Davis submitted his bond in the sum of $75,000, furnished by an eastern bonding company, and it was approved.

So well remembered Is she that nothing but standing room, and little of that, was left unoccupied at Boyd's theater last night. What should be even more pleasing to Miss Allen than the enthusiastic reception she received at its hands is the fact that a more representative audience has not assembled in the theater before during the present season, and it is doubt- ful if a more thoroughly satisfied one has left it “In the Palace of the King” is a most effective pictorial romantic drama divided into a half dozen sceres, rather than acts, each of which presents a different plcture of the Interfor of the palace of Phillip 11 of Spain. The sensational appeal of “The | Christian” has not of course been repeated by the new book play of Miss Allen’s, vet her host of admirers cannot help but be pleased with the predominant display of | her personality which characterizes the | plece throughout its six tableaux, and her | courtship scenes as Dona Maria Dolores de Mendoza, with Don John of Austria are certainly charming, Those who saw her in “The Christian" felt as though Glory Quayle were treating | us to a masquerade in the Castillan court lady's costumes. There are many of the same mannerisms, the same saucy little shake of the head, the same half mannish accents In the emphatic lines, the same individuality and temperament as marked her portrayal of the Hall Caine heroine. Viola Allen’s art is hardly to be meas- ured by commonly accepted standards for the reason that she does nothing th: can be measured by rules. We who knew chiefly by the impressions left after seein er In “Sowing the Wind,” Liberty Hall," were surprised last night to note the breadth and depth she has attained. It is hardly fair to say “height,” for Miss Allen does not soar. In, this respect she ot the situation, and at no time does she show the actress. Always s she Dolores, even in the most difficult portions of the play. She is never anything but the warm-hearted, high-spirited, pure minded girl, deeply In love with the man of her choice, fighting with & maiden’s weakness, which fs indeed a malden's strength, against and overthrowing plot ters who would have succeeded maybe against one less innocent and honest. Mies Allen’s art lles fn her ability to interpre t ost dificult of feminine roles, that of the innocene Miss Allen is fortunate in belng sur rounded with a company of uniform ex cellence. Of the characters in the play only a few stand out from the conventional melodrama types. The cardinal is a colorful |but not novel figure. Walter Hitcheock who enacts the role, adds strength to It by his splendid ability The king's part as enacted by W. E. Bonney, is a strong role In its sensationally melodramatic kind But the unjque character of all is that of the court dwarf, earcastically called Adonis. The part is that of a minor Bertucclo, the half-pathetic hunchback, a poor little Punchenello, who cannot forget the tortures of the rack that deformed him. weaves it- self through the varlous scenes like a curfous thread of scarlet. His humor is sharp and grim, born of his pain, and sen- timent transfigures his hunch and fool's bauble into something pitiable and touch- ing. Arthur T. Hoyt, who plays the part has much to do with making it what it is, one of the most interesting characters of the piece, and his efforts can hardly help but make a reputation for him as a com- petent character actor.
