Complaint . has been made to Police

sioners of the color-scheme on the new
automobile license tags for th city.
Owing to the use of dark red as a back
ground, on which are printed letters

Mayor Walker said that the scheme

The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come
at Academy.
Perhaps no better play from a
scenic, acting and realistic standpoint,
could; be produced than "The Little
Shepherd of Kingdom Come." John
Fox, Jr., the author, had an uncanny
knowledge of the lives and habits of
the mountain people of Virginia and
wrote a typical southern play depict
ing the lives and characteristics of
these famous people, the hardly and
courageous stock which builded this na
tion. There was nn fer. -i

and civil war time. Tho niQ .o..

Miss Grandin was more than excel
lent as Melissy, the mountain lass, and
gave a portrayal of this character with
a realness and earnestness hardly sur
passed. Anthony Carroll was in the
lead as Chad Buford and proved him
self an able actor. Ramon Greenleaf,
in the part of Major Buford, gave a
wonderful imnersonati
fashioned Kentucky major, brogue and
all. Jack Doty assumed the role of
Daws Dillon, a renegade guerilla and
looked and acted the part: Mr. Buhsee
another villain, in the part of Nathan
Cherry, was extremely good.
Mr. Gilday, as the old mountain
squire who was always thinking of his
'likker, did one of his best pieces of
work. Miss Walker as the die-nified
aunt- and Miss Oliver as the dainty
little southern; miss,1: who trifled with
the hear , o many, lovers, were very
real. Miss Louise Browning gave a
very natural portrayal of an old south
ern mammy. James Marsh, as Joel
Turner, and Charles Gutheridge, as
Richard Hunt, were up to the standard
