Mr. DerFreux Is now, on Ms eighth annual tour And Is playing the classics which have taken place.among the finest of the world'e literature. The repertoire will be, Romeo tnd Juliet, Wednesday af ternoon, 3:15 o'clock. Arms and the Man, Wednesday night 7:30 o'clock. Iji presenting these plays Mr. Dev. ereux has sought to bring them to you In their right atmosphere and to give them the fine interpretations which they deseiye. Many people have reftd a ml studied them in school or college, I but they can never lie so appreciated as they will be, Hft:>r Mr. Devereux's production <d them has been witness ed. It is with lofty Ideals, a wide out look, a deep understanding, and a sym pathetic insight that he has approach, ed these masters, and taken from them all their richness, their unfath omable cleverness, I heir icintllating brilliance, and their unmatched genius. The qualities of the plays are made apparent and all their phases reveal ed through methods of unassailable ieasonableness and convincing author lty. Thus to the student of litera ture and to the lover of the finest dra. matlc art, these performances will come as a boon, for In a series of Ira posing scenes the life of the century with its picturesque manners and cus toms, is drawn with graphic vividness. The highest recognition has been ac corded the Clifford Devereuv Company for their unique and artistic work, as is evidenced by their frequent en. gageinents at"1 Columbia University, University of Virginia, University of West Virginia, University of Georgia. University of Tennessee, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin,- and' the majority of thj leading colleges In the country including Va3sar, Penn State College, etc. A!1 the members of the company ire especially selected for their experi ence and ability to give adequate inter pretstion to the exulting cliaracteri zntinns, and the interest and laughter which invariably greets their efforts Is a tribute to the increasing popular ity of this organization, wnich is now enjoying its eighth consecutive season. . '.'Anus and the Man" On "Wednesday, Nov. 3$ Clifford De vereux a n dh i s com party headed by .Mr. Devereux himself ? will present Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man." Many of the best Shavian character isjlcs are present and Mr. Devereux ?plifi's the whimsical hu norous Servian officer, who is reallv a Swiss, about whose fortunes the story centers. There Is a new-rice Bulgarian offi cer with a charming daughter who is engaged to a young Bulgarian offi. cer but who wonders if he Is the hero she would have h'm be. In a charge the enemy (the Servians) are routed spictured by the YoungsvUle High School. In this picture a banner bearing the date 1776 was borne by a girl dressed to represent France while to the rear stood a group wearing the French peasant costume. On tl>4 other side Uncle Sam, accompanied by an American group, bore the date J 917. Those dates recall the tact that In aiding France in 1917 America was returning what France did {or her in 11776. The choir's spirited rendition of the Marsellalse formed a fitting musical background for the spene. The activities of the Salvation Army were picturesquely- portrayed by a group of Louisburg College girls as sisted by several members of the I.f.gion . They w*re busily pouting cofTee, serving dojjghnuts and other wise administering to the soldiers while the choir sang "Pack up your troubles tr. your old kit bag." The Frankllnton High School gave a similar demonstration of the minis trations of the Red Cross, "The Mother of All the World." "The Rose of No Man's Land" was Impressively ren dered during the course of this tab leau . Members of tho battery B 117th Field Artillery gave an exhibition of some of the manoeuvres of the infantry and of the calvary, actually flrlng ofi a cannon to the great delight of 811 the email boys present. To them this was the grand climax of the whole enter tainment. "Opening the Mail" was Interesting pantomimed by tho Bunn High School while the choir sang "Keep the Home Fires Burning." | Mrs. James King, with her accus tomed skill, gaV'> a touching reading. "In Flanders Field", to a soft accom paniment on piano and violin. I The closing tableau was entitled ["Her Cross" and was enacted by Miss fiallle Taylor. This scene was taken fiom an Illustration In the Ladles Home Journal which came out some time ago. In the Illustration a wo man with bowed head seated at a ta ble occupied the foreground. On the table were lying a helmet and ;.ther war souvenirs while In the back ground were the soldier graves In France, each with Its white cross. This toas faithfully carried out or the qtago and the slnr'ng of "Comrade Rest" added to the Impresaiveness of the picture. The program rlosed with Kipling's Recessional by tlie choir, "Qod of our fntl ers be with ns yet Lest we forget, lest we forget." | $40,000.00 LOSS FROM YIBE S. A. L. RAILWAY LOHSE8 A COACH w. T.

Clifford Dever eux, the charming and "cultured Miss Graf and the company of artist play ers provide juat such an evening in this delightful comedy. "Romeo and Juliet" ? Article 1 Shakespeare Lives On It 13 too frequently argued that the intelligent public has lost its desire for the plays of Shakespeare and for good plays in general. This is a fal lacy. The public vacillates, it Is true, but there will always be a demand in each growing generation for the best of the drama and for Shakespeare's I lays. Popularizing such plays, is the mission of the Devereux Company, headed by Mr. Clifford Devereux with Miss Zenlta CfraXJn chief support, who will appear m Romeo and Juliet". Those who made this interesting engagement possible deserve the thanks of lovers of real dramatic art. The company's well balanced reading and perfect enunciation of the beauty of the Sbfritespearean text has Im pressed itself on the most critical au diences to be found In the country. There is scarcely a university or col lege of prominence In vne United States that has not engaged the Dev ereux players for one or more per formances in the past two years. Mr. Devereux learnod his Shakes, peare In an exacting school. He was 'for a number of seasons one of the leading performers In tho Sothern and Marlowe Company, though he was al so one of the youngest members of (hat famous organization. This 13 Mr. Devereux's eighth season at the head of his own company. DWKLLIlffl BI'RNS AT MrRKI. The residence of Mrs. Mattlo Will iams at Laurel, formerly occupied by Mr. J. B.
