2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDITQRD, OltlSaON, .1TBIDAY, JULY 8, .1910. Henrietta Crosman Here Soon THE PROTECTION OE ORCHARD BY SMUDGING By P. J. O'Gara, Scientific Assistant, Frult-Dlscaso Bureau of Plant Industry. Invcstlflntlons, Playgoers of this city nre to Imvo an opportunity of seeing that gift ed comedienne, Henrietta Crosuian, in her latest cometdy success, "Anti Matrimony," when she fills her en gagement of one performance, Wednesday evening, July 13, at the Medford Theatre. This play, from the pen of. Percy MacKaye, proves to be the best ve hicle Hiss Crosman has pver had. Although this famous star has never fccfore appeared in this city, her rep station has preceded her, and local play goers are anticipating a treat. The play, "Anti-Matrimony," has scored something of a unique sensa tion. It is an unusual play in many ways. Written by that brilliant dra matist and poet, Percy MncKaye. -who has contributed such gems to tho dramatic literature of America as "Jean of Arc," "Sapho and Paaon," "Mater" and others, it be comes evident that "Anti-Matrimony" would possess more real merit than any ordinary comedy. But its lit erary quuhty is only an incident. Mr. MncKaye has descended from the lofty pinnacle on which ho has formerly labored and turned his genius to the creation of the Great American comedy and from all ac counts he has succeeded. It is not unusual for Miss Crosman to evoke laughter, but this play has met withj everywhere. It is so thoroughly American, so thoroughly modern, so full of keen satire and wholesome truths, and withal so fanny, that it is indeed worthy of the skill nud experience of this charming actress. In "Anti-Matrimony" Miss Cros man appears as the merry-hearted whole-souled wifo of n young New England minister. Morris and Isa bella his brother and her sister, re turn from several years in Europe, with their baby-daughter, and as tonish the family with tho announce ment that they are not married and that they propose to convert the people of their native village to the ultra-modern doctrine of "Anti-Matrimony" or free love. Tho minister's wife, realizing that open opposition to tho views of tho "emancipated" couple would only strengthen their position, determines to teach them a lesson by strategy, and thus pretends to becoino converted to their doc trines. With native Yankee humor sho succeeds in entangling the pair in some ludicrous situations and fi nally convinces them to the utter ab surdity of their "ideal" and bring them back to the path of common sense and convention. Miss Crosman has the support of n splendid company, prominent members of which are Herbert For- tior, Gordon Johnstone, Grace Cnr- lly n careful Inspection of tho Inst two cotuniB of figures in Tabic I. it will bo soo'i tl.nt tho dow-polnt re corded wns not far nt any tlmo from tho lowest temperature recorded dur ing; tho nlcM following, In ono In stance only, ami that on April IS, was thoro a r.it! or wldo dovorgenco from this aouoir.1 rulo. l)y rotorlnK to tho tablo It will bo aeon that tho dew-point at 9:30 p. m. was 19 de grees P. and tho medium tomporaturo recorded for tho nlclit vas 2S de- Igrees P.
