HUNTER HERE IN ‘YOUNGIODLEY’ (Continued From Page 5) law in Aberystwyth University, Wales. The play clothes Mr. Hunter with tho part of a shy, lovable boy, but one who Is finely romantic with a talent for writing verse, his incense kindled at the names of Sheley and Swinburne. While with his intimates In school* where Is being "ragged” about fills esthetic aspirations, It. that he Is in tho midst of his first love affair, the object of his interest being the attractive young wife of one of the professors. Tho part gives Mr. Hunter new and splendid opportunities for his art and fine powers of creation. It is estimated as his finest performance. Mary Servass will appear In the role of the professor’s wife. The role of her husband, headmaster of the school, will be portrayed by A. E- Anson, equally wellknown to the American and English stages. Grant Stewart will be seen as the elder Woodley, father of the boy, and the lad’s schoolmates will be played by Philip Torige, Philip Earle, Richard Shepland and Paul .Tacchia; and the parlor maid by Eanchon Campbell. ■ R U DER TO RE AT MURAT WEDNESDAY There are two feaUkres of his stage wardrobe that Sir Harry Lauder is especially proud of. One is the richness and variety of his Scottish plaids; the other Is his remarkable collection of walking sticks,. Two plaids utilized by Lauder In his kiltie costumes are all woven from the finest Scottish wools and they are Infinite In design.and coloring. Every Scottish clan nas its own plaid, and woe to Lauder If he ever sing a song typical of a wee lassie of the clan of'vthe Maephersons or the Macdonalds in the "plaid of a rival clan. During his entertainment Lauder changes his costume a dozen times, and it Js accomplished with a facility that is surprising. Lauder’s sticks are legion. The singer has very little use for the conventional, straight, gold—or silverhandled stick. His predilection is for gnarled, crooked and individualistic walking sticks, and for this reason one given to him by the Prince of Wales has an especial place in the regard, quite apart from his appreciation of the thoughtfulness of the royal giver. It Is said to be the crookedest walking stick In the world. Lauder

On the road the comedian carries a hamper full of walking sticks of every conceivable size and shape, and at his home in Scotland, he has a room in which nearly a thousand sticks, from all part sos the world, are displayed. The majority of them were gifts from Lauder’s friends and admirers. Sir Harry wears the kilts both on and off the stage; but even without this distinctive costume, there would be no difficulty In picking him out in a crowd.

By Shelly Pierce United Prrx* Staff Corrcxvondcnt NEW YORK, Jan. S. —E. H. Sothern and Otis Skinner, two of America's most distinguished actors, have come to Broadway for the first time this season. Sothern is presented by j David Belasco in “What Never 1 Dies.” a comedy of youth. The eminent Shakespearean actor is said by the reviewer to be at a disadvantage in the piece. Honors were accorded to Haldee Wright, the English actress, for her performance as a dowager of 83. > Skinner appears for the third time in eighteen years as that beloved rogue, Col.
