"THE REDCOAT" PLEASES.
"Abounds in Moments of Intense Interest," Says Critic.
In speaking Thursday evening of the cast in "The Redcoat," Georgia H. Brown, who is directing the production, said, "There is some surprisingly good talent in this group of players. Of course the play is deep and requires real acting to make it a success, but these people are going to do it justice. Undoubtedly some of the comedy is equal to anything that has been seen in New York this season and Miss Culp is to be congratulated on having secured real talent to work it up.
"As each rehearsal develops the possibilities of the play, I am amazed. Aside from its historical value, it abounds in moments of the most intense interest and the love scenes are as fine as any I ever saw."

A CORNELL COMEDY.
With characters of a novel kind developing an original type of plot, the Cornell University Masque presented the "Misfit Man" on the evening of April 1 at the Waldorf-Astoria.
"The Misfit Man" Was Present ed in New York.
The chief character—a comedian—is a young American doctor sojourning in India for reasons closely connected with a certain young woman who lives in the mimic world as the daughter of an American capitalist of a new type. The young man conceives the idea that people grow old and die because some one or two parts of their anatomical machinery have completed a cycle, while in other respects they are still sound and fit] If this is true, he thinks, it must be possible to construct a new young man out of the best parts of a lot of old men, and he persuades the Indian Rajah, Rain Mohan Rai Tan, to allow him to try the experiment on a lot of old prisoners.
As a surgical operation it is successful, but the resultant product is a heterogeneous mixture of a number of different nationalities and subject to the whims and tastes of all. To make matters worse, each of the original prisoners was married, and all the wives claim "Misfit" as their own.

NEED A "CUR STRAIN."
Is Best for Human Race, Says a Chicago Professor.
William I. Thomas, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, recently startled his hearers in the course of a talk on "Eugenics, or Race Development," by recommending what he called a "eur strain" in human beings.
"A good, strong stock is what we need," he said. Points aren't worth much. A race horse has 'points,' but it runs itself out in four years. The best all-round dog is a good cur dog, and if we can get a sound "cur strain" in humans and then give the children the right surroundings and the right education we shall have gone far toward developing the race."
