Miss Cushman as Romeo.

When Charlotte Cushman played
the part OF Romeo to the Juliet of
her sister Susan at the Haymarket
in December, 1916, Tho Times gave
free won't to its enthusiasm, and all
the rest of the press fell in line. "It
is enough to say that the Romeo of
Miss Cushman is far superior to any
Romeo we have ever had. The dis
tinction is not one of degree, it is
one of kind. For long time Romeo
has been Il convention. Miss Cush-
mans Romeo is a creation; living,
breathing, animated, ardent, human
being. The memory of playgoers
will call up Romeo as collection of
speeches delivered with more or less
eloquence, not as an individual. Miss
Cushman has given the vivifying
spark whereby the fragments are
knit together and become an organ

of Romeo's disposition were given
with absolute truth, and the one
soul was recognizable through, them
all. Miss Cushman looks Romeo ex-
oeedingly we'll; her department. is
frank and easy; she walks the stage
with an air of commando; her eye
beams with animation. In a word,
Romeo is one of her grand success

SONGS UNSUNG.

Sweet the song OF the thrush 1T dawning,
When the grass lies wet Will spangled dew
Sweet the sound OF the brook s low whisper
Mid reeds and PUSHES wandering through
Clear and pure is the west winds mur1nur
That croons in the branches all day long.
: But the songs unsung are the sweetest music
And the dreams that die are the soul O.
song.
The fairest hope is the one which faded;
The brightest leaf is the leaf that fell
The song that leaped from the lips of sirens
Dies away in an old seashell.
Far to the heights of vielvlcss fancy
The souls swift flight like swallow goes
For the note unheard is the birds best carol
And the bud unknown is the reddest rose
Deepest thoughts are the ones unspoken,
That only the heart sense, listening, hears
Most great Joys bring a touch of silence;
Greatest grief is in unshed tears.
What we hear is the fleeing echo.
a song dies out, but dream lives ON.
The rose red tints of the rarest morning
Are lingering yet in distant dawn
Somewhere, dim in the days to follow
And far away in the life to be,
Passing sweet is song of gladness,
The spirit chant of the soul set free
Chords untouched are tho ones we wait for,
That never rise from the harp unstrung.
We turn our steps to the years beyond us
And listen still for the songs unsung.

The MaddeninR Comm.

An editor who goes in largely for
the high flown style of writing once
began one of his extravagant leading
articles in this fashion: Tomorrow
is the anniversary Of tho death of
Louis Philippe.
The editors penmanship was not
by any means the easiest to de-
cipher, so when the proof was hand
ed to him it read, Tomorrow is the
anniversary of the death of Sam
Phillips"
Extremely indignant at what he
deemed wanton insult, he wrath
fully wrote on the margin of the
proof, who the dickens is this
Sam Phillips?"
Having reproved the printer in
,GCathing fashion, he went home, but
ct breakfast in tho morning, when
he turned with pride to his article.
which he considered better than usu-
al, he sprang up in towering rage
on finding it begun thus: "Tomor-
row is the anniversary of tho death
of Sam Phillips. Who the dickens
is this Sam Phillips?" - Happy
Thought.
