THE THEATRE

Willie Collier played to nc derate
business at the Oliver on Friday night
Of last week in "The Man From Mexico"
a farce. Willie Collier is a real come
dian with very good supporting CON-
pany. The introduction Of men in con-
vict garb is in questionable taste, but it
amused the audience and the stage does
not pretend to be any better than those
it amuses.
Hoyt's "A Stranger in New York;
played to responsive but not very
large audience at the Oliver on We'd
nesday night. Like all OF Hoyt's plays
the situations are Lroad and on the
verge OF indecencey, and there is an
aching absence Of ladies and gentlemen.
The men and women we see in Mr..
Hoyt's farces are such people as Mr.. See
Icy, who gave the famous Seeley dinner,
gathers about him, people wilfulIy on
the edge Of responsibility. They are
funny at times, but an evening of their
society is an infiiction which cannot
occur too far apart In this company there
we're two young girls, very slender,
graceful, and their movements we're like
thistle down or swallows. They had
two fresh, unannealed little voices that
were as the sounds of the forest to an
Eden musee band. They did their turn
and retired to the side OF the stage
where they regained their lost breath.

he has acquired a mannerism. The gu

disagreeably noticeable, and make him

But then, they are pretty hands and he

The production OF Offenbach's mas

ed all Of the scenery for the late Booth 4
Barrett Co., as well as many OF the
principal attractions OF today. The
scenery OF the latter has been painted
by Mr.. Hoyt, who painted tbs famous
productions at the Casino and other
New York theatres. The costumes are
from the designs of Hamilton Bell, and
made by Nine. BARCLAY who was brought
to this country by David Henderson to
superintend his famous productions at
Chicago opera house. The calcium and
electrical appliances carried by the COM
pany are said to produce marvellous ef-
fects in the way Of lighting up the
beautiful scenery. A large orchestra
under the election OF Mr.. Richard F.
Lindsay adds greatly to the enjoy ment
Of the performance by this superb COM

other reasons they made hit with
Lincoln. The company is a very good
one indeed, and if not thrust into the
tough class by the necessity of their
roles, would, unless they have played
Hoyt too long. be actors and actresses of
the first grade.

4 SACRED rru.t Of Motherhood.

Florence Hull Winterburn, discussing
a. An Office of Motherhood, IN The
WOIaan's Home Companion has this TO
say Of aA old fashioned duty sometimes
oTerlooked by mothers Of today:
''The first natural duty Of a mother is
70 protect her young; to create around
il a shelter IN the midst of which the
tender thing can grow, secure from
shocks and seeing and hearing cnly
what is good for it TO hear and see By
learning the signs Of fear in a young
child. and knowing how 10 distinguish
true fear from willfulness they viii be
able TO exert a soothing and protecting
influence at the right moment and
avert danger whose consequences are
serious almost beyond belief in the case
of our highly organized, exeitatle, mod
eTn children.
"It is the mother, rather than the
father, who is called upon to secure the
blessing Of a sound imagination TO her
children. She ought TO begin away back
in the beginning, with the very first
surroundings of the newborn infant.
Let it find its early life peaceful, quiet
and unhurried. And when infancy
merges into that older period when
young facalties are springing forward
in rapid Development, and each day the
little one takes ON more of the hue of its
larger fellow creatures, let her be eou-
bly, careful that no untimely scare
stunts its intelligence. /. is said that to
lie afraid Of shadows is an inevitable
passing experience of childhood Yet
know one small tOddler who never has
shown any such disposition, but whose
great delight is 10 play with her own
shadow and other shadows when toe
lights are brought in each night She
i a peculiarly sensitive. sympathetic
little thing and could easily be made
timid by unwise treatment. But under
the shelteIing care Of fond and judi
-cious parents she is remarkable for mot
knowing what 1t is 10 be afraid, . and
although she is given to unpleasant
dreams, as many young children are,
and often awakened with a start, a low
word or touch soOthes her into serenity.
Happy above others Is the little child
who thinks of his mother as a veritable
refuge from trouble, bulwark against
danger and sympathizing presence.
