CHIEF SEATTLE. |To No. 9314, Walla Walla Penitentiary Dear Comrade; You have sent me a number of things you have written while inside prison walla, I cannot use them because they “do not fit in with editorial requirements.” (That is the traditional phrase) But I trust that you will not be discouraged.

CHIEF SEATTLE. To the Fiancees Dear Girls; Did you know that 600 men have been deprived of their jobs in the Kimberty mines in order that your engagement rings will not lose thelr value?

CHIEF SEATTLE To the Canadians Dear Cousins; There appears te be an incentive now for many Americans to visit acrom the border. Over the wine bottle we can swap promises of friendship.

It would be a regular titfortat proposition and should keep us allies forevermore, CHIEF SEATTLE.

To L. F. Swift, Leader of the Y. M. C. A. Twilight Hour Brother: The faith of my fathers and of my children was a simple fath.

To the Seattle Park Board Dear Public Servants: A Seattle man who, with his wife, visited Volunteer park yesterday, tells me that the stairway up the interior of the tower is faced with walls that are covered with obscene scrib- blings. As this observation point ts visited by many young couples and girls and women unaccompanied, as well as men and boys, the writings and drawings are a plain nulsance and a public affront.

Rose, based on the popular stories by Booth Tar kington. Mr, Tarkington has gained a mer- ited reputation for the delineation of boys, He knows how their minds work, and he has well-nigh immor talized certain of his characters, But it 1s one thing to write stories about children, and it ia another thing to make plays about them, Penrod himself ts @ real boy—and he holds @ definite place in contemporary fic tion. He is too young, however, to be made the hero of @ four-act play. Of course, the audience enjoyed the performance thoroly. A stage full of children ts almost a ruarantee of success with most producers, And when @ dog is added, the play cannot fall. And certainly It is on thé basis of these simple human appeals that “Penrod” succeeds. For the plot is negligible and the adult characters are kept well in the background. Master Ernest Neal Kling is cast in the Utle role, and, considering his own age and the difficulty of the part, he ts surely deserving of com- mendation, 80, too, are Hugh Creek, Margaret Ellis, Donald Blair and the amusing Brothers Hancock. Fred Dunham had an agreeable role as Robert Williams, character slightty reminiscent ef Willie Bax- ter, in Tarkington's superior play, “Seventeen.” Forrest Taylor proved & suave and entertaining villain, while Howard Russell and Emily Pinter carried the responsibilities in cumbent upon the father and mother of the incorrigible Penrod. Anne Berryman was charming, as usual, ‘There ts a deal of bright dialogue in the play, and this partially recom penses one for the frailty of the structure and the juvenility of the Principal actors. There will be performances every night this week, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday, eee THREE IRISH PLAYS DELIGHT AT U, An amateur performance of un usual merit was revealed Saturday night In Meany hall, when students of the University of Washington pre- sented before an enthusiastic aud- tence three one-act Irish plays of great distinction. From an artistic potnt of view, the last play on the bill, “In the Shadow of the Glen,” by J. M. Synge, was the most satisfying. Difficult to perform, because of its complex humor and tragedy, it was neverthe less given a most creditable interpre- popular with campus audiences, demon- strated his versatility by playing, first, the Beggar in Yeats’ “Pot o° Broth,” and later, Michael Miskell in Lady Gregory's “Workhouse Ward.” His transition was remarkable, and both characterizations were received warmly. Bennett, too, played a double role, and in the “Workhouse Wa: he kept his andience in a constant state of mirth by his ingenious manner- isms. Margaret Shotwell appeared as Honor Donohoe in the same play, added to the comedy appreciably. Samuel Mullin and Margery Gilbert, in their portrayal of John and Sibby in the Yeats comedy, made the most of two exacting character parts, and completed what is probably the best all-round cast seen recently in a campus production. The plays were produced under the direction of Glenn Hughes, instructor in dramatic art. eee STRAW KELLIES ARE SMASHED AT MOORE Breaking straw hats is just as good & laugh producer as throwing cus- tard pies—a fact which Jack Rose demonstrates at the Moore Orpheum theatre this week. By destroying about $1.87 worth of unseasonable headwear at every performance, Rose wins enough applause to en- title him to the stellar position on the bill, Jimmie Steiger proves an excellent foil for him. A close rival in popularity is Peart Regay, who appears in a jaz. dancing act with Ward de Wolfe and@ the Rialto Versatile Five. Miss Regay's eccentric dancing is as grace>ul as it ts surprising, and she has good support. Wholesome comedy and tuneful songs comprise the ‘Thomas F. Swift and Mary H. Kelly, offering of who kept the house in a constant |feel! roar Sunday, and Billy Dooley and Helen Storey demonstrate that “Vaudeville a la Carte” is a really delightful dish. Van Cello and Mary have some- thing new in a juggling act; Margar- et Ford keeps her program promise to provide a vocal surprise, and the Gautier Brothers, in “An Animated Toyshop,” display some quite remark. able ponies and dogs. The usual motion picture and or chestral features round out one of the best balanced bills that the thea- tre has ever presented. eee “MYSTIC GARDEN” AT PALACE HIP “The Mystic Garden” ts one of the artistic and entertaining features of the new vaudeville that appeared at Loew's Palace Hip yesterday. In that magical spot, Charles Prevette, as past master of necromancy, di- rects the mysterious destinies of his two pretty assistants, Charles Barney and a company, including Flo Kennedy and Doc Grant, have a sketch concocted for laughing purposes only tn their ab surdity, “Never Again.” The Washington Trio In “A Chotr | Rehearsal,” combine harmony sing-| ing with character fun. | Tess and Ann Carter win a host of friends with their delightful singing of popular songs.
