There are many touches OF sentiment in

Of them: On the first night of a recent
successful production a gentleman

performance i~ustifies it, could you write
a kindly word about John Eoandso? L
don't know any OF the critics except you,
and / wouldn't ask this favor in other
circumstances But 1t is the first time
the young fellow has had a chance and
his mother, a poor widow out West, told
me she was going to spend the evening
in prayer for bis success. / know II IS
very unusual and probably impertinent
thing to ask, but IL be doesn't make a
failure and you can help him it will
bring happiness To her and give him n
start in life. Sure enough, John Soand-
so made a hit. He performed his part
With such skill and humor that the critics
and the audience were alike enthusiastic
in ~applauding the young actor, and now
his reputation is made.

Probably there have been no more ac-

no doubt due in n large part to the fact
that in scarcely any other division of
