CYRANO MADE 10 LIVE
IN DRAMATIC RECITAL
s. H. Clark Gives Pleasing
Interpretation of Ros-
tand's Characters.
A large audience enjoyed the dra-
matic reading of "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac” given Thursday evening in
the auditorium of the Young Wom-
an's Christian Association by S. 11.
Clark of the University of Chicago.
This reading was the first of a sc-
ries of three to be given by Mr.
Clark under the auspices of the edu-
cational department of the Young
Woman's Christian Association. At
4 o'clock Friday afternoon he will
present Galsworthy's "The Pigeon."
and at 8:15 Friday evening Shaw's
“Androcles and the Lion.”
In interpreting "Cyrano de Ber-
gerac" Thursday evening. Mr. Clark
was able to show the true quality
of his art for the play especially
effective on the stage with the scen-
ery and lights and music to assist
with the illusion is built around a
character of a dead past and there-
fore in a dramatic reading more dif-
ficult to create imaginatively. A
man who could bully an actor from
the stage of a great city's theater
a man who could with his own
sword put a hundred bullies to
fIUUt. a man who was the acknowl-
edged braggart of the city and who
could yet write the sweetest love
verses and whose heart was so mod-
est that he dared not tell his love —
it takes a master to make such n
man live in the twentieth centurj.

Postum has the rich color and a delicate flavor simi-

nature as compared with coffee has become the table
drink in thousands of homes.

The fact that Cyrano did actually I
live in the flesh and that Rostand
has hardly overdrawn the character. I
docs not make it easier for the twen-
tieth century to understand such a
man.
This is merely to suggest the dif-
ficulties of dramatic interpretation
but to say that Mr. Clark did make
Cyrano. Roxane and the other char-
! aeters live is proof of his mastery
of his art.
AFTER NEW MEMBERS
City Cluh Inaugurates Campaign
With Ten Teams.
A spirited membership campaign
was inaugurated at the monthly
meeting of the City Club held Thurs-
day afternoon at the Gunter Hotel.
Ten teams will enter the field and a
number of novel features have been
arranged to create rivalry between
them. W. A. Williamson is the gen-
eral chairman of the contest. Five
new members were elected at the
meeting as follows: Sylvan Lang C.
Lassetter. Tom O. Tirado G. IL Mil-
ler and Nat AL Washer.
The report of Secretary F. E.
Tucker showed the finances of the
club in good condition with $2a5.77
cash on hand and considerably more
money in outstanding dues etc. Of
the membership of more than one
hundred there are only 28 members
in bad standing which is considered
a favorable showing.
The City Club passed resolutions
endorsing the Loyalty Day ceremo-
nies and agreeing to take part in the
parade. The proposed West Texas
Agricultural and Mechanical College
for Kerrville also was endorsed. It
was decided that the City Club would
take part in the S. O. S. V. parade
on the closing night of the Fiesta.
RUSSIANS INAUGURATE
NEW FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Minister of Finance Develops
Taxation Scheme to Fi-
nance the Government.
PETROGRAD. March 3U.—(Via
London.)—The new financial pro-
gram which will undertake to rem-
edy the deficiencies of the past ad-
ministration and by means of a sys-
tem of revenues enable the govern-
ment to share in the increased in-
dustrial profits was outlined to the
Associated Press today by Al. Ter-
eschtenko minister of finance.
“The country is full of capital.”
said AL Tereschtenko “which has
grown out of the increased indus-
trial inactivity since the beginning
of the war. and my plan is to insti-
tute a new system of taxes based on
war pt of its. Since 1915 all indus-
trial enterprises have shown remark-
able increases in earnings. It is onh
proper that the government should
have a more adequate share in these
profits. It is not the intention of
the new government to make the
new revenues so burdensome to
farmers that it will discourage their
productivity.
“I shall call in a few days a con
fore nee of other members of the min-
istry. representatives of industrial
ahd financial circles and economic
experts who will help me to deter-
mine to just what extent it will be
advisable to tax the industry of the
country. There will accordingly be
nothing haphazard or arbitrary in
ihe manner in which the system oi
taxation will be put into execution ”
