THE ROMANCE OF THE AMERICAN
a ~THEATERt
by Mary C. Crawford (822.9 C91)
Students of the drama, for whom the
green room possesses an odor of in-
teresting mysteriousness, will be inter-
ested in this compilation of American
theatrical history. It puts up no pre-
tense of being a treatise on drama, and
it certainly deserves no credit as a
literary or philosophical study. It is
plain fact, from cover to cover, but its
side-lights on the off-stage life of
idealized theatrical people almost en-
First round-Steketee d. Wehmeyer,

title it to the claim of being a romance.
The book begins with the presenta-
tion of "The Recruiting Officer," on
December 6, 1732, as the starting
point of American stage development.
Thi, it says, was the first play produc-
ed in the United States. Considerable
space is devoted to early 'stage anec-
dotes, relating to the hardships, some-
tiines comically severe, suffered by
pioneer actors and producers. The
history of the American stage from
that time to the present day is then
set forth, with such intricacy of detail
that the reader cannot help but be im-
pressed with the evident carefulness
of the writer.
Many of the stage people character-
ized in the latter portion of the book
are somewhat familiar in the memory
of the present generation. The book
is full of illustrations. Its style is
cumbrous, but the glamor of the sub-
ject and the fulness'of the treatment
are no small attraction.
Grace Cameron coming to the Ma-
jestic is the biggest single act ever
booked on the "Butterfield Circuit." tf

College Letters Are Already Granted
By Many Institutions to
Team Members
GUNS FURNISHED BY CONGRESS
Rifle shooting seems destined to be-
come a recognized college sport in the
near future. .For the college year end-
ing June 30, 1914, there were 42 col-
leges and universities having well or-
ganized and active rifle clubs with a
total membership in excess of 5,000.
As a further evidence of the import-
ance which the sport has attained,
many institutions present the college
letter to students who make the rifle
team.
This movement for the recognition
of rifle shooting was first inaugurated
by the National Rifle association, and
has had the support of the war de-
partment from the first. At the pres-
ent time, due to a recent act of Con-
gress, rifles and ammunition are fur-
nished free to college and university
clubs.
In spite of the large number who can
participate in the various competitions;
there is said to be little or no danger
attached. There have been no serious
accidents on rifle ranges since the
work was first introduced.
CHEMISTRY FACULTY HEARS
OF NEW/ CEMENT DISCOVERY
Circulars have been received by
members of the chemistry faculty, an-
nouncing the production of a new ce-
ment by Captain de Khontinsky, in the
Kent chemical laboratory of the Uni-
versity of Chicago. The cement will
be placed on the market as De Khot-
insky Cement. The composition is not
entirely new, but elements have been
introduced into the old formula which
open several new fields in the cement
industry. One of the most interesting
of these is the cementing of surfaces,
wood to wood.
