News of the death of Captain Herbert N. Royden, U. S A. retired officer,
55 years old, former commandant at
the University of Kentucky, who died

from the United States Military Academy at West Point, N. Y., in 1893 and
was commissioned in the regular army.
At the outbreak of the Spanish American War he was stationed for a time
at Fort Orgelthorpe, Ga , and later was
transferred to the Philippines. He remained in service there for several
years and assisted in the capture of
Aguinaldo, the Phillpplno Insurrecto.
While stationed in the Philippines he
contracted beriberi fever, causing his
retirement with rank of captain in
1902. From that time until 1915 he
was retired. In 1915 he was recalled
into the service and for a time was
quartermaster at North Island, San
Diego.

"The Thirteenth Chair" that the Strollers had
selected for their thirteenth annual
production, some persons on leaving
the Little Theatre shook their heads
gravely and said that It could not be
done by amatuers and it would be an
impossible undertaking. It was remarked that it was, "far above the
head of the most talented Stroller.
They will never in the world be able to
put that play on because it is much too
heavy and they will have to change to
something lighter. Don't you think
they will?" Evidently John Burks,
director, accepted this challenge for
he added to Bayard Veiller's masterful
production when he selected the best
mettle in the Stroller Club as characters in the play.
Mary Lyons, who has the leading
role as Madam La Grange, a middle
aged Irish w.oman, is a Stroller veteran and may be remembered as having
taken a minor part in "The Climbers"
of season before last. However this
play was not a true test of her his- tronic ability for her speaking line that
