naner says of him: "Mr. Cables de
livery Ia admirable and his mastery OF
the quaint dialects which abound In hi
pages is complete and indescrioaoly
effective. In the rapid and complete
sympathy of his face, bearing and
speech, with each character % it ap
pears, Mr.. Gable recalls to mind MI
Dickens, the kind being m pch the
same" the program this evening II
selected especially for the occasion, and
