Itis one of those hurry-up finales inwhich everybody who should havedone so. before' the play began, fallsinto everybody else's arms.Mr. Drew's embodiment of the titlerole is a very fine piece .of surfacecharacterization, deftly indicating thetraits caned for by the lines. Theactor has apparently neither sufficientdepth nor versatility to suggest morethan the exterior of the delectableworldling of the novel, almost neverplumbing the sordid 50111 of Thack ..eray's cynical social parasite. Mr.Drew's work is excellent for what dtis, but it definitely indicates his limited range.Of the actor who plays the youngPendennis, one may note that he isa middle-aged gentleman of seriousme in, with a somewhat raucous voiceand the manner of a aagedian ofsome long extinct school. CharlesKennedy plays the bibulous Costiganwith much relish, but manages somehow to miss fire. Harold West playsgracf".fully in the few lines which areassigned to him .as Warrington.

Bums, directorof the Cleveland Foundation. wholectured on the "Cleveland Survey,"before a public mass meeting heldunder the auspices of the Philanthropic Service division of the college of Commerce and Administration yesterday at 4:30 in the Harper assembly room."Wealthy men are becoming concerned now, over the ultimate disposition of their fortunes," declaredMr. Burns. "Wealthy men are getting over the idea of leaving theirmoney to. grandchildren, or to children of belated marriages. The unexpecteed response of wealthy menin all the large cities of this countryto calls for funds from foundationsonly serves to illustrate this fact.Foundation Idea "opular... "The foundation idea is now becoming popular with the rich. Theold bequest system has Been its day.The time when rich men, thinking thatthey foresaw the needs of those whocame after better than those people themselves, and leaving bequestswhich were to be utilized in certainmanners is gone. The distinctive feature about the foundation is thaf themoney is left with no strings attached to it. It is usually unrestricted."There is a danger, however, wit}.foundations and that is in their boardof trustees. Trustees, like everybody else grow old, and when old theybegin to get old-fashioned ideas.When a board of trustees is selfperpeuating, it is very likely thatwhen one member dies, the other oldfellows will elect some old friend oftheirs in his place. With our plan inCleveland, this danger of old trustees, with old-fashioned ideas isaverted, because we have introducedan elective system. In our foundation, each trustee is elected for aterm of five years, and so new bloodand new ideas are being constantly, .introduced.Social ServiCe Is Field."Foundations of all sorts for themost part are directed in the field ofsocial service. As we see it, a social survey is a sort of inventory, astock-taking of social conditions. Webelieve that it is intended primarily to study the social machinery ofa community, which the communityuses for the betterment of its conditions. Foundations should, for themost part, be dependent on ;theirsuccess through public opinion. Whena city is able to establish a strongfoundation financially, and knowsthat the disposition of the money depends on its good sense, then thatcity should make a careful study ofitSelf. to see in what ways the moneycould best be spent. It is up to acity endowed with a strong foundationto make its citzens acquainted withits municipal problems."t..:Dr. Davis to Speak.The Religious Educat;nn club willhold a meeting tonight at 8 in theHaskell reception room.
