A request was made through Father A. J. Carmody that his church be permitted to .eytabUen a week-day school for Its children. These schools are financed by the churches concerned, but the pupil may be dismissed for one hour a week on school time with the parents' con sent.

Larter presents "A Noble OiTt cast" In the Armory at Medford, June 3 9 and 20. This play has. ever since Its first production proven a most suc cessful drama. It enjoyed a long run in England and has delighted au diences in New York, Chicago and the principal cities of this country. The nuthor now for the first time allows "A Noble Outcast" to be print ed from the original manuscript. The play is founded on an older piece, "Jocrisse the Juggler." which has been practically obsolete for many years. In the whole range of the drama there is no character to be found with such power to compel tfltel-nate laughter and tears as is shown I by Jerry the Tramp. The dramatlcjinterest la In tense, the appeal to the sympathy of the hitman Jieart poweijfuU jind'Uhe comedy is hs refined," says Mr; Lnrter. The author of "The Show-Off" bo- longs to the less cynical type of the American playwright,, who believes that the average theater goers will patronize able dramas. Experienced as a successful drama tist for vaudeville audiences, Mr. Kel ly. might well have been apprehensive that his work might not be understood by those who attend legitimate thea ters. ' It is therefore not to bo won-" dered ;at that,- while preserving his general integrity as a competent artist. he has inflated the principal charac ter of "The Show Off" so even a first nighfer'may enjoy It. v Aubrey Piper, the vPhenn smart- Aleck In "The Show Off' is a carica ture, If not a burlesque of a fnmillar type. Whereas all the other people in the play are scrupulous representa tions of life, Aubrey Is an amusing and a vendible artificiality. His shallow laughter Is a note too loud, his unnec essary toupee too obvious, his geenral behavior too pronounced to belong to what Mr. Kelly calls "A transcript of life.- eH 'is an overblown harlequin In an everyday tragedy. Yet without his excesses "The Show Off" would not be the "hit" that it is. At Craterian theater tomorrow .Thursday) evening.
