Frederic sryton In Forgiven. "

The audience that greeted the great
romantic actor, Frederic Bryton, nj
Coburn Hall last evening, In point Of size
was far from fatterlng to that gentleman
as an actor, and we think is rather poor
encouragement for the local manager to
bring such expensive companies here.
With possibly one exception, no piece
was ever presented on our stage that
gave such unbOuuded satisfaction to all
present.
Forgiven" Is Il strong romantic drama,
and its strong points were frequently in
terrnpted by bursts Of applause. 1t is es
scntially play which appeals directly to
the heart. Therefore It never could be
but just what it is-a great success In
the strong scenes where real strength is
required, Mr.. Bryton was more than
equal to the demands. In the more quiet
scenes he acted with such grace and in
tclligcncc that one woul be apt to class
him with the leading light comedians Of
the American stage. Ills support wa,
far better than the ordinary run.
Manager Wall informs Us that he cN-

which time we predict for him such

Is it All Right 7

How many of us hear tho expression
a dozen times n week, and have it stuck
in the throat of at least half of them.
II is getting to be hypocritical append
age to business and social intercourse.
A sponge goes behind the counter and
cuts off dimes worth of tobacco or
cheese, with an excuse that no wants IL
sample, and tho grocery man says,
"rhat's all right"
A customer returns pair ii shoes,
soiled and injured after half days
wear, grunting they are too small, and
the merchant says, "Thats all right"
A church member puts down his name
for 1926 to pay tho preacher, and when
called on only gives ton. with tho remark
that times are hard, and the parson says,
"rhats oil right"
An extravaganza debtor tells patient
creditor every time he meets him that
he intends to pay that account to-mor-
row, certain, and tho poor dun turns
him off with, "That's all right"
And so it goes It's all wrong, and
We say it's all right, and by want of
spirit and independence encourage lazi-
ness and imposition and every other sin.

An Accommodating Witness.

Since little Abe Hummel has figured
so conspicuously in working up tho frauds
perpetrated by Miss Diss Debar numer-
Gus interesting stories arc told of some
of his feats in trapping lying witnesses.
lie was once engaged by Philadel-
CHA railroad corporation to defend the
company in suit brought by one G. j.
Campbell, who claimed to have been Sc
riously injured in an accident on the
road.
The man was represented by Phila-
delphia lawyer, who bosought tho jury
to award liberal sum for the injury
done to his client.
In an impassioned speech he said his
client would be crippled for life
His right arm was bandaged, and
after his counsel had exhausted every
argument the lawyer said
"Now, show the Court how high you
can raise your injured arm"
The man fcebly raised it an inch or
two from his side.
"Try if you can't raise it little
higher" urged his counsel soothingly.
He made an effort and raised it an
other inch, protesting that he could raise
it no higher, and that the effort panied
him
"You see gen tlemen," said his coun-
sci turning to the jury, "the man is dis
abled for life. There is no need to say
another word"
Then Abe Hummcl took the man in
hand.
$50 my friend, " said he, in sympa-
thetic tone, "you can't raise it any
higher :"
"Not another inch
"Too bad, too bad" said tho little
lawyer, shaking his head as if he had
given up the case. "and how high could
you raise it before you m ct with tho ac-
cideht p
The man taken completely of his
guard by the sympathetic tone of the
questoner, raised his hand above his
head
His lawyer Numbered with rage when
he saw the arm going up, but it was too
late. The mischief was done, and his
client lost the case.

An old friend Of mine in New Eng
land had been deacon in the church
for forty years. One night he got up
and tore up his native village. There
was sensation, of course. The next
morning his preacher called on him.
The deacon met him and said: 81 was
drunk last night; 1 acknowledge it,"
"Why did you do it?" asked the
preacher, astonished that so staid a man
should have done so dissolute thing.
"Well, l will tell you" said the dea-
con. II have been serving the Lord
for forty years, and | just made up my
mind to take day off to myself"
