Show Pygmaleon :H and Galatea Greek Play by Stu- dents Is Great. L Superior Characteriza- iiH tion; Audience Pleased. ::iH ' The performance or "Pygmalion and , ll Galatea" by the U. A. C. player last H Thursday evening was by far the best H thing that Logan has ever seen in the H line of college dramatics. The choice JH of a play was particularly happy. H Shakespeare should be done only by H professionals; amateurs aro rarely ade- ' quale for tho fine work of the old English comedies; but the works of H Gilbert are always pleasing and never jH too exacting. 'H An enthuslasticaudlunceotstudents faculty and college friends filled the theater. It was an audience that any H company would be glad to play to, for H It was keenly alive to the clever lines and situations of the play and most IH appreciative of the excellent work of 9 jH the actors. ll Much praise is due them all, but iH especially to Miss Hayball for the 'H strength or her acting, her graceful H stage presence and her beautifully jH modulated voice. Following in the H footsteps of experienced actresses who ; jH have made the part famous, she has H little to fear by comparison, for her In- H terpretatlon, though perhaps lacking H some of the finer shadings, was a high- H ly creditable and finished piece of H work.

On March 5th, in company with four other gentlemen from the .county, we visited the Elk Coal Company's property inWyoming,-near inWyoming,-near the Kommerer andDiamond-ville andDiamond-ville coal district. While there we were taken partly over the company's property eoveriug something over 5000 acres where seyeritf coal tunnels arc opened. We saw three thnt ran into the bluir or bill from one hundred and ninety to two hundred and fifty feet and the one mine now in operation has a vein of 51 feet of solid coal without u trace of rock or dirt in any way. It is located within "three miles-of miles-of the 0. S. L. branch now running run-ning to the Cumberland mines with n natural road bed right to the mouth of the tunnel. We were informed that a road would be built and that it would be completed within two months, at which time the mine will be prepared pre-pared to take care of the heavy shipments that are already being arranged for. The ledges are all on an incline in-cline of about 18 degrees and with a .small force of about fifty men now on the property they are going go-ing in at the rate of ten feet per day. The tunnel is eight feet high by ten feet wide. The coal is being used in the engine mom. cook and v heating stoves and is producing a good heat with very few ashes and no clinkers at all and the smoke is nearly white. The land in front of the mine slopes slightly to the east, making a fine location for a town, while the management is making arrangements ar-rangements to lay out n town-site town-site and the company has thrown their stock books open for subscribing sub-scribing for stock or shares and to our judgment this looks lo be a goofl proposition. Here is an opportunity for Pygmaleon & Galatea Continued from Page 1, conded by Vincent Cardon, the Pygmalion Pyg-malion of tho cast. His part is more conventional than that of Galatea and hence much harder to play. Mr. Cardon Car-don Is, however, an actor of much skill, and by voice, gesture and phys-(que phys-(que made a living sculptor out of a j rather stagey part. Some extremely clever comedy work was done- by Mr. Hanson and Miss Homer, who won some of the heartiest applause in the reconciliation scene. Miss Homer had an especially effective way of delivering deliver-ing her stlnglngly sarcastic comments on renegade husbands. In her ease of manner and her intelligent rendering of her lines Miss Jacobson did some of the best work in the play, while Miss Lashusand Mr. Preston mado a charming charm-ing pair of lovers, and Mr. Johnson and Mr. Laurenson were two Athenian slaves who bore their yoke nobly. On the whole It was an able, even, finished performance; one which gave much pleasure to the audience and one which reflects much credit on the players and the college, but the most praise Is due to Gilbert's bright comedy.
