perfectly at home on the shoulders OF q King
IS a peasant A face full OF dignity, full OF
lumor and full of pathos; strong and
PECULIAR combination. Stanley is man OF
rare versatility and he has credited to him the
authorship of some very creditable verse
1t verse making he is as clever as was that
lord of Scotland. "BoDby" Burns, and his
ythm is quite as remarkable Tor
it's purity and simplicity. 1t is not

i'm that the SOM he sings in the last act OF
he Little Tycoon and which always wins re-
Gated encores for him, is composed eX-
temporsneously and as he sings 1t is never
heess fact. He has two verses thnt he
Carries in his head but after he has sung them

his song as he sings. 1t is won ierfui tact
and no Que appreciates 1t so little as Stanley
himself. 1t is so natural for him to think
and write POLITICALLY that he often converses
for hours in rhyme. When asked If this ISM

poses it is to the other fellow. He has been
offered big money to travel through the
country as an advertising card for patent
medicine firms under the title Of The Ryth-

air crowds in the large cities and spout
poetry extemporaneously composed on sub
iects to be suggested by his auditors.
The St. Jacobs Oil company onered him an
annual salary of $lS,0 600 and his travelling ex-

the road in this capacity, but he refused,
preferring to sing In opera for far less money,
so closely is he welded to the profession.
Saws he: .AH want is three meals day and
a chance to fire wads of musical atmosphere
at an appreclative audience seven or eight

One would be apt to think the character of
Lord Dolphin. played by Edward Everett. was
II minor role and an easy one to play. Such
however, is not the case, and the character is
Il most difficult one TO carry through with the
effect that it is intended to give. 1t can be
very easily overdone and as easily under
drawn. 1t is one of those peculiar
roles IN which the actor can
20 so far and DO farther He
has an opportunity TO explain his position or
to place himself on pleasant footing with
the audience by saying something funny.
He must look and act his part and nothing
more. Edward Everett draws a larger salary
than any other member of the Little Tycoon
company. 1t is something like $500 per week,
and he is a shrewd financier. He owns prop
erty in various entcrprising cities in the
East and West that is constantly increasing
in value and he is contemplating investing
in residence property in this city, and he is
only % years old.

A man sat down Thanksgiving day.
With Il happy heart, to a bounteOus lay

With a thankful heart, THANKSGIVING day,
And he drank the sparkling wine.
