GILLMORE, Frank Gillmore, who plays the lead ing role of Georges Gamier in "Cora," has had a varied experience on both the English and American stages. He comes of a theatrical family, and his uncle, Thomas Thorne, was for twentytwo years manager of the Vaudeville theater, London. It was in this theater and .ynder the. management of Thorne and ! Henry Irving made one of his earliest successes in "The Two Roses.' Gillmore first came to America in 1892 and has acted in this country much of the time, though he has returned to the London stage on two or three occasions. He has played with Forbes-Robertson twice-in London, and in this-country he succeeded Maurice Barrymore as leading man for leading man for Mrs. Fiske. With that actress he played Rawdon Crawley in "Becky Sharpe," Angel Clare in "Tess of the D'Ubervilles," and the part of the Roman In 'Mary of Magdala." He has played with E. S. Williard in America and England. Last season he was leading man for Mary Mannering in "Glorious Betsy," and the season before that he supported Henrietta Crossman. Mr. Gillmore is considered one of the hand somest young leading men on the stage today, and a matinee favorite of un usual popularity. At the Towle opera house Monday Dec. 28. 3riefa.

Miss Rose Hauber is spending a few days in Chicago with her sister, Mrs. Harry Parker. d f . ' - HIGH SCHOOL TIDINGS. o William Evers and Gretchen Bauer, both of last year's class, were school visitors yesterday. The following program will be given next Wednesday afternoon. It will take the place of the literary program. Speech Prof. McElroy Instrumental Solo Wellie McDanlel Select Reading Marjory Sutter Vocal Solo Milton Dermedy Composition Raymond Zoll Vocal Solo Beatrice Burke Christmas story Myra Carter Composition Hazel La Rue Violin Solo Elliott Conroy Composition John Rhind Speech Edwin Friedrich Composition Bernice Ostrowski Instrumental Solo May Arkin Vocal Solo Grace Dahl Instrumental Solo Genevieve Griggs The program will be very appro priate and certainly arouse all the Christmas spirit that exists in the high school. For opening exercises yesterday morning, Mr. McElroy spoke on basketball and the facts concerned in financing the present season. Ho said that if the students would take no interest in it and Mr. Allee and lie would have to furnish all the enthusiasm the game would be dropped.. It Is now up to the students of the , high school whether or not basket-ball shall be part of the athletics. The basket-ball tickets have been put on sale. The president of each class received fifty tickets to distri bute among the different members of the class. This would mean $7.50 from each class if the tickets were all sold. The Athletic association Is in debt to quite an extent and a good sale of the tickets would be a great remedy for the condition of the treasury. Each class will .not be responsible for the tickets, yet they are in a measure expected to sell them. The monthly tests came in a "heap" yesterday. They were given in nearly every subject and the students were certainly kept busy, as some of the teachers said they w'anted to see how much the students studied. Ten dollars a day. The value of an education Is not often expressed in dollars and cents. perhaps because It is difficult to measue it by such a standard. So boys and girls who do not appreciate the value of an education, measuring it by dollars and cents would be effec tive. One of the principals in a New York high school made the following remarks before the high school: "We are about to close another term of school work and to many of you thi3 will be the end' of your school training. While many of you are debating whether it is beneficial to continue, if you do not you are making a mistake. Better positions will be open to you with a diploma. Nothing that Is good comes without hard work; many of those who leave school early regret It. But you will perhaps best

in New York yesterday for her understand what you are losing when your loss is expressed In dollars and cents. Some one has compared . a large number of those who left school with those who graduated. This comparison revealed the fact that every day in high school was worth 10. These are actual facts. Are you willing to work a little harder for ten dollars a day? Can you do better by going to ing your work now, however temptposition may be?"
