Mmm lit- Old King Colo The play, "Old King Cole," which will be given here on Tuesday evening at the Vine street school auditorium, under the auspices of the Civic Club, will have a novel feature in that it will have included in it several musical numbers, which may be studied by the public schools.

The Clare Tree Major Company, of New York, which will give the play, has developed an increasingly valuable service to the public schools throughout the United States during the past ten years in matters dramatic. In "Old king we are informed, an experiment is being made to etend this service to things and teacher, musical. It is apparently done in this way. In the play several musical numbers are given by the "Fiddlers Three," as part of the action of the drama. Information regarding the history and the score for these numbers is sent to the sponsoring organization responsible for the play, several weeks before the performance is clue.

This, in turn, the sponsors turn over to the music teachers, who use it as study material in their classes.
