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, 6-4, 6-4; McKee d.

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 R I FLE['TEA9MS SOO1N TO 8BE RECO6NiED0 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. rand Opening T aoring Sale Saturday, October 10th, to Saturday, October 17th Marks the Fall Opening of our tailored-to-order clothing department, and will display a complete line of the season's latest weaves and colorings direct from the looms of America's largest indepen- dent woolen weavers.
