MIR. MANSFIELD AS CYPANO DE,
Observation-Disclosures Mansfield began his

Monday evening before brilliant audience

unit, 10 see the great actor in his creation
OF the title role in Edmond Rostand's now
internationally famous heroic comedy .Cv
rano de Bergerac." "Cyrano de Bergeracn
as played by Mr. Mansfield is an engross
ing play, Independent of its poetic worth.
1t is romantic play with much action and
SPIRITED cimaHes. The hero is ugly, brave
loving and Quixotic. He cherishes In bis
heart an undying fame for Roxane. and
yet he does everything in his power to helm
ON the suit of Christian. his rival His
whole life is one of bravery and self-deniaJ
and in the end. when he dies he would
never nave confessed his passion and noble
self-sacrifce If Roxane had not guessed his
secret and torn an unwilling confession
from his lips.
Cyrano Is at once q tender heroic and
lronic figure, such as Mansfield has never
had before His creation eclipsed any of
his other memorable achievements The
scenes and dresses were unprecedentedIv
lavish, and company of 125 performed ad-
mlrably, especially in the instances of Mar
garet Ang1in Roxane, William Courte-
nay as Christian, arthur Forrest as de
Guiche, A. G. Andrews as Ragueneau and
the pre-eminent performance of Mr. Mans
field. In setting and costumes and in the
brilliant management of the great companv
OF hguranteS and SupernumerarieS the pro-
duction was further marvel of experiences
and beauty. Mr.. Mansfield's work was
recognized by hearty applause and many
curtain calls.

May Test an Ordinance.

There Is a little difference Of opinion
existing between Contractor Brennan and
Plumbing Inspector Cook. The inspector
wants Brennan to take out permit for the
sewer he is constructing along the alley be-
tween Twenty-fourth and Twenty nth
streets In the north part Of the city. Bren-
nan objects to spending his money for per-
mits on public improvements and the end is
not yet. City Attorney Montgomery holds
that under the ordinance Inspector Cook can
compel Brennan or any other sewer con-
tractor to obtain a permit for opening
streets and alleys In case Brennan still
holds out Inspector Cook may cause his ar
rest, thus bringing the ordinance into court
on q test case.

Looking for Trouble.



There is an adage that We generally re-
Peat jestingly which yet contains a grain
of very sound wisdom. We say, laughing
iy, 1t Is the unexpected that always hap
pens;' but if We would think of the things
over which we worry and fret as the may
bes' that perhaps will come to US, and ap-
ply our wise adage to them, we would cease
to worry. Fer how seldom has the expe It.
ed sorrow come to any of US. 1t has near
iy always been the blow for which we did
not look that came. When we have all day
watched the cloud on the horizon with
dread forebodings of the storm which
would come from it, the wind has changed
and the cloud has blown away from US. or
else melted into thin yapor and not come
near US at all. How foolish. then, to waste
what might be happy hours in looking for
this or that trouble which may never come,
or, II 1t does arrive. will perhaps, after all,
prove to be blessingi No trouble was
ever lessened by going to meet ii half way;
and II we are sometimes to have it to bear,
let us not weary our souls and weaken our
wills by dreading it beforehand.
