in recent interview, "and let me say it takes
a good deal Of money TO 60 outthere and get
back, and il needs a fair measure OF success TO
do this at profit. Some reputable actors have
gone there lately and have returned with re-
ports of failure attributed to one or two adverse
notices. These people have described San
Francisco as being surrounded by wall. In
tellectually speaking, as high as the wall of

the closing week of Mr.. Joseph r. Grismer and
Miss Phoebe Davis engagement. The play has
always been a success In the hands of these
artists, and has been played throughout the
East for the past i've seasons. "The Burglar"
has for its nucleus one of the most beautiful
scenes In tie modern English drama. The
third act Is the original sketch almost entire,
with Its touching idylic picture OF Innocent
childhood, and the author has built around this
a series of tersely written scenes, with several
strong situations and proper relief OF humor.
The play possesses vlt3l interest IN Its f0nnda-
ton story, and that interest Is well sustained by
clever construction, method and pointed Ian

courtship and Matrimony. /.

The Young Men g Christian Association Hall
was flied last Thursday evening with large
and appreciatve audience to hear Rev. c. G.
Brown lecture under the auspicies of the
Ladies' Auxiliary, on "Courtship and. Matri'
mony and How Not to Do 1t.
Doctor Browns lecture was, as anticipated,
very interesting and instructive, and, as
usual, replete with that Wit for which the
Doctor is famous He said, among many
other things, that he could not tell the young
folks how to 60 at courtshio and matrimooy,
but be could tell them how not to do it.
The Doctor is quoted as having said that
the kind of girl young man did not want
to court and marry was the ball room belle,
as she was handled too much. He said that
be went down to R. ". DuRant T. Sons
hardware store one day to get caryiag
knife, and that be noticed that every time the
salesman showed knife he used chamoise
skin to wipe of the knife before putting it
up. He asked the dealer why be did this,
and was informed that the knives were
handled so much that unless carefully wiped
off they became rusty and lost their shine.
So it is With the ball room belle. She is
banded 80 much that she loses her shine and
becomes rusty, and, the Doctor said, when a
girl loses her shine a young man does net
want to marry her.
