The Green Room Club, as I under¬
stand, is an organization composed of
eadl.ig actors, playwrights and pub¬

It is
affiliated with the Actors' Order of
Friendship, which has been in exist

Which Edwin Forrest, Edwin Booth,
Lawrence Barrett, Joseph Jefferson

bers. I am informed that for nearly
twenty-five years it has been the cus¬
tom of the club to have one or two
annual dinners, followed by a. ner¬
formance given by and to Ita members
and guests. T am entirely certaln that
these gentlemen would not undertake
a production which is Justly subject to
the critleism of being
+of a salaclous
and objectionable character.
However, I do not desire to partlei¬
ate in any function
which runs
counter to the susceptibilities and the
moral sentiments of any substantin
body in the community, whose motives
are entltled to respect, and, without
wishing to be understood as passing

The play in question is by Arthur
Schnitzler, whose novel“ Casanova's

prosecution by the Vice Soclety, but has

outer layer of stone and steel. Then
their tools rang against the battleship
steel, specially treated to be as nearlz
impenetrable as possible.
Meantime
electrie drills and acetyléne torches had
been rigged, men with masked faces
were on hand to withstand the heat and
glare of their use, and the onslaught
against the inner lining was begun.
Forty-flve minutes later one
drill
silpped clean through, a cheer went un
krom the group erouched over the work
atop the vault, word was sent to those
outside, the cheer resounded in the
strect and the thin little oxygen tube
was worked througn the hole.
But first a man pressed his ear to
that hole and listened. There came no
sound, and he was about to give up ir
despair when a faint moan reached
him.
A Falnt Moan Tells#### Life.
He’s allve,“ the listener called, and
the work went on.
Things went faster once the steel top
was punctured and br 10 o'clock there
was a hole big enough for a man to
get through. Dr. Irving Newman of the
Paterson General Hospital had been
crouchod on top of the vault, bis case
of restoratives ready. Ropes were ad¬
usted about him, and he descended,
swinging for a moment with his fingers
on the ragged edge of the hole, then
softly told the strong mien above to
let go.
As the doctor disappeared into the
gloom an electrie light on a long cable
was lor-ered after him and men pront
on the roof above listened for the first
word that might come from him

that’s all.
As soon as the doctor had disenta: gled
himself from his harness and ben“ over

the bank was lowered s#ter him. That
man disconnected the time lock, mechan¬

combination wheels and knobs, and at
