AMUSEMENTS

"Baby Mine." A farce comedy is without doubt the hardest kind of a play for a stock company to produce. The Francis Sayles players are giving an excellent production and performance of Margaret Mayo's big success, "Baby Mine1 at the Murray theatre this week. The play gets more honest laughs than any seen here in many a year. It Is a play that, a person sees once and then tell all his friends how good It is. Two ladies in Richmond have seen the play four times this week and they have reserved seats for tomorrow night. If you want a real good laugh don't fail to see this great play. There" Will be another matinee tomorrow. "Kindling." Charles Kenyon's remarkably strong play, "Kindling," has been selected for next week's offering at the Murray theatre by the Francis Sayles players. The play is entirely different from any yet produced by this company, and Mr. Sayles guarantees that it will be one of the very best plays of the entire Reason. Mr. Sayles will be seen in a Dutch

part, something he has never before attempted. Miss Worth and Miss LeJloy, so well liked by patrons of the Murray, will both have Irish parts, Miss Worth appearing in the part of Maggie Schultz, which was played by Margaret Illlngton, and Miss LeRoy In the part of Mrs. Bates, which was played by Miss Francis Lee. Miss Eyferth will also have a good part. End Mr. Stiddons, Mr. Clark, Mr. Verher and Mr. Muszar will all appear to advantage.

SUII "COMES BACK"

AFTER HEAT MARK Humidity Aids in Effort to Tortune City With Oppressive Air.

The sun demonstrated his power to come back today. After being thwarted shortly after noon yesterday In an attempt to set a new record, when he had only equaled his previous mark of 95 degrees, the sun was back on the job early today. To reinforce his burning rays he brought Humidity along, who caused much suffering by making it difficult for citizens to breathe. At noon today the thermometer at the water works pumping station had registered 90 degrees, while down-town heat recorders showed from five to nine degrees hotter. Unless the weather man will agree to mediate, grave anxiety is felt for the four hundred couples who will endeavor to look dressed up and formal at the annual convention ball of the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity tonight. All day delegates and visitors have been attending convention sessions minus their coats. After yesterday's toll of four heat prostrations no cases were reported today.

The bride poured the thick, clear coffee from her gleaming pot that her best chum gave her. One of the

groom's hands crept out and edged the tall, thin vase an inch or two aside with a laugh. "Can't you see your golden face, sweetheart?" quoth he. And the clear, brown coffee cooled and cooled!
