by the list booked for the months OF
March and April. During March the
house will not be dark for a single

The story is that young William Penn,
who is in love with Ruth Springgarden.
and who is of a conyivial and rather
rapid temperament and the possessor
of much wealth, regrets the slowness of
his demure sweetheart. He returns to
his bachelor apartments after a long
session at his club and falls asleep, first
admonishing his valet TO call him in
time for the ball 10 be given in honor
of William Penn. Young Penn dreams
and it is in the dream that the Incl
dents of the play are set forth. Will
lam PENIS spirit appears before him.
and at the suggestion of young Penn a
sightseeing expedition is entered upon.
The changed conditions of life and the
entirely new expressions used by the
the old gentleman Ruth Springgarden,
instead of being the demure Quakeress
known to Penn, jr.. is a very much-up-
to-date young lady, much to the delight
of her lover. and her friends and ac-
quaintances are of the same type. The
pace proves too rapid for the founder
of Pennsylvania, and he decides to once
more return to oblivion. Man Is but |
sufficient to his time, and the greatest |
soon live only in the future as MEM
ory, he exclaims, and with sorrow |
full farewell he disappears. The last |
scene shows the guests assembled in |
the ball room in William Penn, jr.'s, |
mansion. to celebrate his ancestors |
birthday. But young Penn is late in |
arriving. When he enters he can
scarcely realize that he has been dream |
ing only of the events just transpired, |
and greets Ruth with a familiarity |
which is resented by that lovely girl

pany has been a monkey fancier. He |
usually owns one or two which he de-
lights to train and educate. One of his
favorite presents for friend is n mon

Mr.. Sullivan says the only way to
train a monkey is by means of hyp-
motto influence. Mr.. Sullivan Is hyp-
notist. He has practiced the art ever
since he began training monkeys. BY
means OF mysterious passes of his hands

Ivan claims he has instilled into various |
1fng-tailed monkeys and infantile Chin |
panzees knowledge of language to |
such an extent that one of his favorite |
Ting-tails arrived at degree of knoul-
edge whereby 1t could use words of two |
syllables.
