Jealousy serves as the basis ci th
"Green-Eyed Monster," which appears
at the Majestic today. starring Robert
B3. Mantell, foremost of tragic actors
with Genevieve Hamper. The scarii
for the production was ' written by
Nixola Daniels, author ci "Destruc-
tion," and other Fox dramas, and it
may be said that none other than a
woman could have given so compre-
hensive an expose of the sold-wrek-

17, in 1893, he made his debut as an

"Grumpy," with its laughs and
thrils. but more important with its
international star, ir. Cyril Maude
the' noted English character actor,
will prove a most welcome attraction
to local theater-goers at the Whitney
theater, Monday, March 6, when Mr.
Maude will present his greatest suc-
cess, "Grumpy."
The play is a four act comedy
drama by Horace Hodges and T. Wig-
ney Percyval, and has served to es-
tablish Mr. Maude as one of the fin-
est actors ever see: on the American
stage. "Grumpy" comes here almost
direct from the Empire theater, New
York, with the identical cast that
npported Mr. Maude. in that presen-
tation of the play, which followed a
year on tour, after an all-season's
run at Nvalhdc&'s.
Mr. Matileacts the grouchy and
penetrating old Grumpy with a dis-
tinction that is most appealing. Old
mien of superior type always have a
picturesque charm. Their nervous
irritability and tendency to bully
ethers, if they can, are presented by
Mr. Maude with a . friendly humor
which keeps them from being offen-

.lthough the new board has not ac-
complisn'd everything that was hoped
or, it has, however, done much in a
constructive way to further perfect our
banking system.
The board has, in the first place,
carefully defined the classes of paper
eligible for rediscount at a Federal
Roerve bank. It has laid down- more
fully the conditions under which other
tban national banks may join the sys-:
tem.
By the use 'of the banker's accep-
tance feature the United States has
reached a prominent place in the field
oof nnancing foreign trade. A consis-
tent discount policy for the regional
banks as well as their purchases of
commercial paper in the open market'
has been developed.
A systematic effort is being made in
regard to the substitution on the part
of business men of the trade accep-
tance for the customary promissory
? note.
Some of the things which the board
has not yet been able to accomplish
are: -
