    "The Servant In the House." presented at the Belasco Theater last night by Henry Miller's Associate Players, a dramatic organisation par excellence, introduced to Washington a new playwright, Charles Rann Kennedy

    "As the play opens, Manson, an Indian servant, who has arrived at the clergyman's house that morning, is in charge of the domestic affairs. Manson, who, by strong inference, the playwright would have us believe is the reincarnated Son of Man, begins at once his great work redeeming the household."

    PRINCE WILLIAM OF SWEDEN AN INTERESTING PERSONALITY
    (By Associated Press)
    Stockholm. March 18.-- Prince William of Sweden, second son of the King, some time ago left Stockholm accompanied by four of his friends. for Honduras. He intends to spend about a year in studying its geography and ethnography.
    Prince William is a very interesting personality. He was brought up on the sea, joining the Swedish navy as a cadet when only twelve years of age. His tutors had strict instructions that no consideration should be shown him because of his royal birth, that he should be made to work just as though he were a plain every-day boy.
    The sailor prince is a poet, a thorough sportsman and as a golfer has scarcely his equal in Sweden.
