Earlham Will Be Well Represented at the Sate Oratorical Contest. EARLHAM SPEAKER A COED QUAKER INSTITUTION WILL BE REPRESENTED BY MISS JANETTE FENIMORE, WHO 18 A FINE ORATOR.

Half a hundred howlers. Half a hundred singers. No, this is not the story of the Light Brigade this is merely Earlham going to the state oratorical contest at Indianapolis, next Friday. Miss Janette Fenimore will be the Earlham contestant for the coveted laurels. If she wins she will be the fourth Quaker to win the sweepstakes In the Grand Indiana Handicap of the colleges of the state, in the last seven years. Have Had Two Co-eds. In the past few years the college has leen represented by two co-eds, one of them taking first and the other second. So successful has the co-ed scheme been that some of the colleges have complained at times that the judges were influence by the charms of the pretty girls. But Earlham hopes and firmly believes that the speech of Miss Fenimore and her other resources will land the prize In the Earlham camp. The rooters are therefore Intent upon the rooting and the songstresses are running up and down the scale as in the hope that they will have reason and necessity to be 'In pood voice1 at the close of the contest, i--Will Be Many Colleges.'! All the more important colleges in the state will be gathered together in the state contest. On the list are Depauw, Wabash, Franklin, Butler, Notre Dame, Hanover and Earlham. The contest will be one of the most closely matched in many years and all the colleges are claiming the victory. Earlham's contestant last year was Walter Miles who succeeded in getting the coveted first place. He is now the professor of Biblical literature in Penn College. It is very unusual for one college to win twice in succession but that is the trick the Quakers hope to do. livinFOkFjesus

Originator of Piedge Plan Finds His Ideal Difficult to Maintain. THE WORLD IS DIFFERENT

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 6. "To live as Jesus would it is not as easy as It should be," said W. B. Price today. "I have been trying to live up to my pledge now for almost a day. It is difficult." Price Is the originator of the plan of experimenting for two weeks of "living as Jesus would." "Every Christian is trying to live as Christ would," said Price, "but my experience of a few hours is that we are hot always confronted by the question 'Am I doing what Christ would do under the circumstances? "It Is this question that has continually presented itself that proves how many of my actions, thoughts and words heretofore have been short of the ideal. ,. ' ' ' . . "I feel that I am not succeeding up to my hope, but I believe I am helping myself every time I do a good thing or leave a bad thing undone."

Mr. Green Do you know how I felt during the wedding ceremony today? Miss Sharp No. How was it? Mr; Green Well, I felt most profoundly thankful that I was not the bridegroom. . Miss Sharp Very likely the bride felt like that too. J

"Married for Money." It is a well known fact that plays that have lived are those where the sentiment was pure and the lesson taught, uplifting. No others, outside of the work of such masters as Shakespeare, have outlived their "fitful hour." To give plays that are elevating and wholesome has been the endeavor of Mr. W. A. Whitecar and the success of "The Mummy and the Hummingbird," and his latest and best, "Married for Money," is the best evidence that his labors were well directed. Mr. "Whitecar will present "Married for Money" at the Gennett theater matinee and night on Feb. 10. The indications are, according to the advance sale of seats, he will play to the largest gathering ever assembled in our popular playhouse.

The New Phillips. Beginning tomorrow afternoon the "Real Quartette" will give a series of concerts at the New Phillips theater for three days. This foursome is particularly good in the harmony line and has made a success this season. A variety of songs is offered which is sure to please. Shannon and Straw have an eccentric comedyact that bubbles over with laugh drawing jokes and sayings. The turn is one of the best of its sort put on this season by the Sun-Murray syndicate. Dick DeLoris will present an act which has a great deal of good, rich humor in it and quite a little music. This act for its uniqueness is especially interesting.

"Madam Butterfly." "Madam Butterfly," the PuccinJ-Long-Belasco grand opera, which is to be seen at the Gennett theater. Feb. 17, was originally produced in this country two years ago by Henry W. Savage. It ran for a long time in New York city and was later taken on the road for a tour of the big musical cities. The company that is to sing the opera here is the same that has so many admirers throughout Europe and America and an excellent musical treat awaits lovers of this style of entertainment which is rarely, if ever seen In this city. The event is the most notable in the annals of theatricals and the company

"Mary's Lamb." Richard Carle is always building up his stage roles. After a long summer run in New York, he has in "Mary's

Lamb," which is to be the attraction i

at the Gennett, theater Feb. 9 a part which shows him at his best. He plays a hen-pecked husband, and since he began appearing in the role he has added lines almost every night, until now practically every sentence he utters is the' signal for a laugh. Mr. Carle, however, is not the whole show, for in "Mary's Lamb" he has the support of a lot of principals who are capable of setting him a pace, and his chorus is as showy and nimble an aggregation of girls as any manager ever collected. "The Man- From Home." One of the most interesting personalities in the new play. "The Man From Home," which is to be seen at the Gennett theater, matinee and night next Saturday is Miss Rosina Henley, the young girl wh plays the part of Ethel Granger Simpson in the piece. Miss Henley, who is not quite 18 is the daughter of the famous comic opera star and prima donna. Miss Helen Bertram and who is known in her private circle of life as Mrs. E. J. Henley. She married the famous actor, E. J. Henley nearly twenty years ago and so it will be seen the young woman comes by her stage training naturally. Until the rehearsals of "The Man From Home" began. Miss Henley had never even been behind the scenes, but she took hold of her nut with the ease of a veteran and has proved that she has within her the qualities that go to make a successful actress.
