RUB TUCK, ROBIN
HOOD PRINCIPAL
[erne Men Will Feature Evening
Preformance at Colonial
Club Tuesday
Perhaps no character in the come
ies of the ages has been so amusing
nd become so famous as that of Friar
uck, the jolly monk that joined his
ick and force to Robin Ilood, the
atlaw of Sherwood forest. In "Robin
:ood and His Merrie Men," a new
>raedy version by Owen Davis, which
ill be seen on the grounds of the
olonial Country Club in the reper
>ire of the Frank Lea Short Company
hen that organization plays here next
uesday afternoon and evening, fie is
innier than in any other version that
is before been produced.
Friar Tuck, in the Owen Davis
■ama, is true to the characterization

of the old ballads, in that he appears
as the defender of tho weak anil op
pressed. In his first scene in this
comedy lie conies to the rescue of
Maid Marion, who is being dragged
back to the castle of Nottingham by
the sheriff, her uncle, from whom she
ran away to inform her father that
her uncle, the sheriff, and her aunt
were trying to force her into marriage
with Guy of Gisbourne. The friar re
leased her from her captor and causes
the sheriff and his retainer, Hugh, to
rue the day they attempted to force
the maid to marry the man she hatod.
He is next seen in the sheriff's cas
tle, where he has gone at the bidding
of Robin Hood to inquire into the
safety of the maid with whom Robin
Hood has fallen in love and swore to
protect. Tuck is the sort of a man
who is never able to get enough to
eat. No sooner is he within the cas
tle than he searches for the kitchen
beforo he seks out the Lady Marion.
It does not take him long to find it,
and he soon returns with a huge #>asty
and tankard of ale.
But his pasty is soon to serve an
other purpose than that of filling his
immense stomach, whose capacity
seems to be unbounded. Little John,
who has accompanied him in the garb
of a pilgrim, is recognized by one of
the sheri's guards. A duel ensues
and Little John is about to be over
come, when Tuck rushes in and claps
his pasty over Hugh's head. The then
powerless knave is put out of the way
and Maid Marion is sent for.
She comes and tells the friar that
she is in danger and sends for Robin
Hood. The outlaw soon appears and
is about to spirit Lady Marlon away
when Guy, whom she hates, interrupts
and draws to do the outlaw in battle.
The battle is a short one. Robin Hood
knocks Guy'B sword from his hand,
and with Marion escapes through a
window as the sheriff and the castle
guards enter.
Tuck picks up Guy's sword and
holds them a* bay with hip back to
the window while Robin Hood escapes
to the castle walls, where he is joined
by his band of outlaws.
It is also Tuck, who in the last act
finds a strolling friar who turns out to
be King Richard of the Lion's Heart.
The King pardons Robin Hood and
the comedy ends in happiness for all
the band, but in sorrow for the sheriff
and those who conspired with him
against the populace.
Friar Tuck is played by John P.
MacSweeney, who essayed the same
role with Bessie Abbot in the revival
of Reginald De Koven's opera "Robin
Hood."

Congressman Vare Loses
to Rolling Chair Man
Special to The Telegraph
Atlantic City, June 12.—Congress
man William S. Vare Commodore Jo
seph D. Swoyer and other Philadel
phians occupying handsome residences
on the Chelsea Beach front at Berkley
Square, lost out yesterday in a hot
skirmish with Walter Lambert, a poor
but ambitious rolling chair baron,
who erected a shabby little shed fac
ing the boardwalk to house his limit
ed supply of chairs.
When Lafnbert started work yester
day, the wealthy Phtladelphlans made
frantia appeals by telephone to Beach
Director J. B. Thompson to stop the
outrage. Lambert probably antici
pated such a move because he put his
workmen under rush orders and the
shabby little shack was up before
Thompson could make a move.
After a conference with the pro
testing Philadelphians and their lawy
ers, however, Thompson declared a
part of the shed occupied city land
and must be removed. TWumph was
turned to chagrin, however, to-day
when City Solicitor Schimpf discov
ered that the riparian land at the
point occupied by Lambert had never
been dedicated to the city.
To-day Director Thompson ordered
Beach Superintendent Loveland not
to permit Lambert to have Recess to
the boardwalk. This checkmates the
shack builder, but the eyesore remains
ito the distress of the cottagers

200 of the women were glued to their
seats the intense heat having melted
the varnish on the chairs. Many
were only able to get away by ruining
their dresses.
