Uany Amateur Productions [Have Been Given There, the Two Plays of Last Week Pleasing the Critics. tOUNTESSGIZYCKAASTAR The unique little Aldis theater at ;e Forest is one of the most novel msement places in the world. Some years ago Mrs. Arthur Aldia, rho resides on a magnificent estate at le corner of Deerpatb. avenue and the Ireen Bay road, Lake Forest, decided tat a little theater -where amateur tormances could be given was •eatly needed in the village for the leflt of the summer colony. Being strong believer in "start at home" fork, she decided to renovate one of ie cottages on her estate occupied by ie of her gardeners into a playhouse. When she decided upon the idea she insulted her husband, who is one* of ie best-known architects in the coun- Mr. Aldis highly approved of the lea, and, like magic, the gardener's Ittle home was made into a handsome Ittle theater, capable of seating be- een sixty and eighty guests, within month. t Give Amateur Performances. Since then a great many amateur 'oductions have been produced by lo- talent. The cast proved so capable1 it they now are known as the Lake forest Players. Needless to say the ttherings there are most exclusive. to one who Is not on the Aldis call- list is ever permitted to pass the But Mr. and Mr*.

"The Pocketbook" Is a French play* by Octave Mireabeau, and tells tne story of a girl whose love and Illu- sions are dispelled by witnessing an example of the man's harshness and cruelty to others. Fleurette Tambour, the part so beautifully and sympa- thetically Interpreted by Countess Gi- zycka comes at midnight to visit the commissaire of police In his court- room. The commissaire declares his love, but, while the two are talking, the po- lice bring in a tramp who has picked up a pocketbook containing' 10,000 francs. The commissaire, wishing to secure the money for himself, Invents a charge against the tramp and rail- roads him off to Jail. Parts Well Played. The part of the commissaire was splendidly played by Mr. Charles At- kinson, the Secretary Maltenu by Mr. Harry Hubbard, while the two gend- armes were played by Prentiss Coon- ley and Hopewell Rogers and Jean Geulneille, the tramp by Richard Henry Little. Mr. Dorr Bradley bandied the part of the stubborn, antiquated father in "Traditions" in a manner that would have been a credit to the professional stage, and Mrs. Cecil Barnes was very gentle and sympathetic as Mrs. Olli- vant. 0.

CHARITY VIEWS EXPRESSED BY S.C. oiea, in»wwama*tal»P*attoaf as he li at to do the work. In Ode oountry politics creeps in. As a re- sult, the public agents ia this eoun- try hat) Uttle trataing in their lines. â- ;.. -la Boropa the men have lone train- ing la the lines they take up. I found tort there la lean cooperation in Europe between the dia>rent chai- ity associations than is found in America" After comparing thA American methods <* caring for the poor with those of the foreign countries, he made the following^ recommendations for bettering the work in this country: summory of fteeemmendatlons. A thorough registration of births, to give a better basis for. obtaining sta* tistica from which the work can be brought to lta highest eaclenoy. More attention to the' proper hous- ing facilities and sanitation, that the death lite may be decreased^ Better and cheaper transportation facilities for the working people. The encouragement of a more de- mocratic spirit among people in all stations of life. "While la Burope I visited Beotiand, England, B^rance, Italy, Germany, Bel- gium, Holland and Switserland," laid Mr. King»l«y. "and la each country I took pain* to note the difference la the methods of the work among the charltiet. Thr»e Countries Contrasted. "It seemed to me that Italy hat a past in ber efforts along these lines, Germany a future and France seems to be a nation where the people live In the present and hope the enjoyment of living will never cease. "England has a big Job on her hands. The people there are begin- ning to realise that charitable work- ers, in order to'make good, must have had lota of experience. The work Is progressing rapidly and la a few years will be a model for other countries to follow. "Liverpool has set a good example for cleaning up the slums. There mil* niclpal houses have been built accom- modating 11*000 persons. The houses are not confined to men or women alone, but are given over to whole families. Commissioner Tarter, in charge of the movement there, says the death rate has decreased 50 per cent and that an arrest for disorderly conduct it rery rare. "A large manufacturing company At Port Sunright, a few miles from Liver- pool, bag constructed bouses for all Its 8,000 employes. There are gardens around all the dwellings and on the outskirts of the' town the employes are alloted space to raise vegetables. "The cheap transportation is an- other feature there. The fares are re- duced during the morning rush hour and in the evening for the benefit of the working classes. The people pay by the mile and their car fare, as a rule; amounts) to only a few cents a day. "In .England- the-people are-noted for their democratic spirit The rich and the poor* make use of the parks and rivers. Take, for example, Hyde Park, where the king and his nobles are seen dally along with the working classes. TSey^ seem tor enjoy" each other's company. "It is the same way in Paris. In all the cafes along the boulevards the aristocrats mingle with clerks and la- borers. Often you see a man accom- panied by his whole family sitting at tho tablet enjoying the scene.
