CULTIVATE THE FACE.
An Old Playgocr's Advice to Young As
pirants For Dramatic Honors.

"Tll tell YOU the true test of q great ac-
tor" said the old playgocr in the rear seat
as tho curtain went down, "the only
test, all others being spurious and I'M
worthy of idcration-it is the mobility
of face. Take comedians us an example.

SO thoroughly enjoyable because they acted
more with their faces than with their

of its expressions IS infinite. He has face

another for Lend Me Five Shillings,' each

ings He insists on having the lights in

down during the acting on the stage, and
if the audience does not get II distinct view
of my face my performance is spoiled.

sor of jefferson. a host of young actors
is aspiring to the legitimate, and they arc
puzzled why the public does not want to
accept them in legitimate roles. The reason
is simple. They haven't the face. Their
comedy is in their feet, or anywhere, in
fact, save in the great mirror of tho soul,
the face. IL l were to give "A young actor

at the crook in his knees or admire the

more he moves about. He has to hold the

An Effective Sparrow Tran,

If every public spirited citizen who has
grieved over the almost total loss of song
birds through the pugnacity Of the spar
row would follow the example set by Jack
Durney, down town youth, it would not
be very long before the feathered songsters
would return again in full force. On tho
roof of building Of the Durncy home
stead sparrow trap is erected and is in
full swing night and day. The fcs.thcred
pests are captured by the dozen, and ali
the friends of the Durney family for
squares around will testify to the fact that
nothing on earth compares with ia. spar
rows when cooked in potpie The srap is
one into which the birds hop to get grain
and bread crumbs plainly in sight. Once
inside the birds do not know enough to
come out. The spafrows feed more on a
cloudy and windy day than on still,
bright day, but no matter what the wealth
er is it is a poor day when the trap will
not yield 80 sparrows. Mr. Durney says
he Is going to get his trap patented and
then induce the legislature to pay so much
apiece for dead sparrows. Then he'll make
the trap earn him fortune. Philadelphia
