The Greenfield Gazette adds another to
the already formidable list of crimes with
which the English sparrow is charged, that
of fruit destroyer by punching his mis-
chievous beak into the ripening grapes,
pears and pums. One Greenfield grape
grower reports that there is hardly bunch
on his vines that has escaped injury from
these birds.

oliver and Kate Byron are at Keith

oliver and Kate Byron are at Keith's

company and the melodrama entitled,
sThe Ups and Downs Of Life" which Is
better than the ordinary. 1t Is different,
however, only In some of the details of
carrying out the plot. The general sci heme
Il the very familiar one in which a mis-
taken hus band ,misjudged wife and design
ing villain keepup with remarkable per-
sistence triangular system OF misunder-
standing and deceit.
To make the situation in The Ups and
Downs of Life " more interesting and
more complicated, there Is selfish,
motherless brother of the heroine, to save
whom from richly deserved punishment
the wife sacrifices herself and drives her
husband to that unutterable ruin which
nothing but the requirement for pleas
ant ending OF the piece car avert.
+ The emotional role OF the wife, Con-
stance, is well sustained by Florence
Stone who gets through one or two ex-
tremely difficult scenes with credit TO her
self and entire satisfaction to the audi
ence. Mr.. Byron himself plays the part
of the hero. Vivian Ransome, and gives TO
It an appropriate earnestness and never
rants. Kate Byron, as Jane Judkins, shows
her claim to the title OF leading lady in

RusseIl seams to annreciate


Sol Smith Russell seems to appreciate
the value of keeping an audience in good
humor and to make the theater pleasant
for the majority, even II few vince oc-
casionally at his lapses from good
dramatic taste. This desire to
accentuate what is sometimes called the
comic element makes the player seem in
sincere and he is occasionally inconsis-
tent with the dialogue.
Noah Vale, as Mr.. Russell holds him up to
view, is for the most part character oc-
casionally seen in human life, but fre-
uuently the player makes him freak, an
impossibility. The part Is exaggerated
beyond patience, but it makes the audi
encs Iaugh--an saint he comic"
sort of fellow that everyone
likes to watch to see what kind of kink
his legs will take next or what ridiculous
impulse will surprise them with its mirth-
provoking tendency. Mr.. Russell is
burlssque actor now and then in "a Poor
Relation"
There is another side to the part, how
ever, and the audience recognized 1t
heartily last evening when the poor in
ventor, to save his young friend, denied
that his plans had been stolen. He
was sincere, true to the character, and
wonderfully effective. He was just as
effective in other places and could have
easily made the whole light and
wholesome dramatic treat, but there
wouldn't be so much that was
sscomic.n Mr.. Russell made one OF
his stock speeches after q hearty tribute
to his power, that was just as amusing as
the play and very much after its style.
Indeed Mr.. Russell can be entertaining In
anything he undertakes, for, like Artemus
Ward, he was born that way.
This evening peaceful Valley" will be
seen for the first time in this city.
Mr.. Russell has fairly good support
ing compapy.
