Shebrought Antigone, daughter of Oedipus,to the very center of our_consciousnessand made, in spite of the "artificialitiesof simple Greek art, a vividcharacteri-zation of a woman who suffered anddied before our civilization was evenstirring in the scheme of the centuries.WOMAX IS REAL

And it was not the might of Sophoclesthat was responsible last night for therealization of Antigone.. Neither wasit the costumes nor. the pageant nor themusic, line as all these,were, that keptthe audience in the Greek theater.backof the university. It.was tlie.lprojec-tion of a personality, the materializa-tion of a soul that did it. Itwas MissAnglin showing us how Antigonefought a king and won honor withdeath. Itwas, .in:short. Antigone, -thewoman, who discovered • the :kinshipwhich art establishes between; the un-real and the real, and who 'made amodern audience thrill and listen asshe went her woeful way.:!

Indeed, it seemed to me last nightthat Icould see many evidences of MissAnglin's successful struggles witharchaeology, i-do-not think, "if thestatement .may: be made without sug-gestion of rank heresj', that even themusic

The -elaborate simplicity of her sur-roundings, the artificial effort at nat-uralness which characterized the pro-duction of "Antigone" were forces notalways consonant with Miss Anglin'sdirect, positive arid 'quite superb art.Tlie orchestra breathing : harmoniesabout her, the chorus "of Theban- eldersstanding stolidly to

'their work, the

angular, and massive masonry that em-braced the scene, were not • alwaysquite responsive to.; the human .note,dominant in her performance. Iftherewere a fault to be found, in her as-sumption of the;role of Antigone itwas this: Her "Antigone was

-not a

translation from the Greek. It.was arealization of 'an .individuality, a•pre-sentation of an. entity which was notof any time but the;present nor of anyplace but here.EXAGGERATED RHETORIC

MARGARET ANGLIN has developed into a great actress.She has made her progress upward past our very doers, and so,

quite naturally, we have not observed it. We have been wont to regardher in a neighborly way. The illusions that distance and unfamiliarity lendhave been absent from the relationships that have existed between theactress and her American family, and we have been complacent rather thanappreciative. It is true that she has been to Australia, where she wasaccounted prcat, but we accepted the antipodean verdict as a mother or alather accepts the flatteries addressed* : \u25a0

Fishermen Discover Body WhileShoes Are Found on Bank

With Pipe and Tobacco

JEFFERSON CITY", Mo., June 30.—,The body of Miss Anna. Wendler ofOsage City, Mo., who disappeared Tues-day, was found in the Missouri riverby fishermen tonight five miles west ofOsage City. A heavy dent in the fore-head, evidently made by a blunt in-strument, strengthens the opinion thatshe was murdered.

Miss Wendler left.her home to visitneighbors and had; apparently startedon the way back when she -met death.Her- casket, shoes and parasol werefound on" the river, bank with".a pipeand a package of tobacco:

Farmers are searching for the mur-derer, who may. be lynched if caught. v"

prefaced his confession with the avowalthat only shabby treatment at thehands of Attorney Thompson, whom henamed as his accomplice, had broughtthe exposure.

He said that he took two packagescontaining $15,000 in bills and con-cealed the others beneath the safe, be-cause his courage failed him the secondday. He buried the first two packagesin the rear of two residences in theneighborhood of his home.

jWhen he was arrested he secured theservice* of Attorney Thompson. Ac-cording to Altorre a demand was madefor attorney fees, so he confided thelocation of the smaller of the amountsto Thompson to be used in the defense.Altorre says Thompson, accompaniedby Mrs. Thompson, went to the cacheand obtained the money. After thiseverything went smoothly until lastSeptember.

Demand for MoneyIt was during this month that Al-

torre declares Thompson demandedmore money, and that in response tothis demand Altorre agreed to Informhis mother of- the hiding place of themoney so that Bhe could be party tothe recovery and thereafter pay out thenecessary legal expenses.

This was accepted, according to Al-torre, and the visit was made at night,the party including Mrs, "White andThompson and his wife. Altorre saysthat Thompson dug the money up and,

instead of handing it to Mrs. White,retained possession, saying that hewould make judicious use of It to meetthe expenses incidental to the trial.

After the trial and conviction Altorrebecame angered at his attorney. Al-torre says that Thompson "threw him

Inspector In Charge Hall, who hasjust returned from Los Angeles, saidyesterday:

"From what 'Altorre. told me it look"*as if Thompson believed Altorre'sprison sentence and. his other pend-ig indictments would operate to shieldhim. His arrest in Reno

complete surprise."Thompson left Los Anpreles over a

week ago in his automobile on a tripto ;Berfo to see the Jeffries-Johnsonfight. •

Detective Brown of Los Angeles, ac-companied by PostofSce ..InspectorMeConnell of San Francisco, will leaveLos Angeles for Reno tomorrow tobring back Thompson.
