AT THE THEATRES.
Head of the FaI

NatiouaI-s'Thc Head of the Family"
If there is an actor i'll this country-a
gccd actCr-who Is so unfortunate in his
choice of plays as William II. Crane the
theatrical wiseacre has yet 10 find him
out. Since leaving the company of Stuart
Robson this star has had just three vehi
c!es that were at all worthy OF him and
one CT these We're terribly slated by the
critics. The Senator and His Wife's
Father and Brother John We're all
scod enough in their way. the TWO first
being really enjoyable works. while "A
Fool Of Fortune was really powerful
effort. But A Virginia CCurtship'' prov
ed to be very poor makeshift, Worth a
Million" was an utter failure and Clyde
Fitch and Leo Ditrichstein's Head of the
Family" which was done last night at
the National, has just exactly one scene
in which Mr.. Crane has the opportunity
&c be good or his audience the chance TO
do more than laugh without the slightest
knowledge regarding that at which it is
laughing.
The Head of the Family is a society
comedy of the most puerile description.
1t is utterly without bottom, betrays no
motive and has been fastened to no def
mite theme. There are number of anus
low and fimsy as it is. the whole thing
seemed to please both Of the audiences as
sembled at the National yesterday. But
after all is said and done but two things
remain in the memory after the enter
tainment is over-the likeness of The
Head Of the Family to "A Superiuous
Husband and the wonderfully forceful
scene that ends the second act. This
finale is one of the best built and most
adequate TO its purpose imaginable and
would excite attention in even better sur
roundings than it has been given. No
stronger climax has been seen in a comedy
produced locally for some time.
Despite his limited chances. Mr.. Crane
is excellent. His portrayal of an eccen
trio and rather weak old professor is SO
quietly natural and so truly dignified
that one forgets how improbable the
character is. Mr. Crane is one of the
best actors on the American stage and
he demonstrates it clearly even in his
present vehicle. The support seems un-
familiar with its lines and appears to be
constantly straining for effect but is
nevertheless generally notable. Among
its best members are Walter Hale, Boyd
Putnam, William Boag. William ]. Du-
pont Kate Lester. Ysobel Haskins Percy
Haswell Gladys Wallis. Olive Oliver and
Leila Bronson. The settings are all good,
though that of the second act completely
hides the stage from the left portion of
the auditorium.

SUGAR AND MUSCLE.
It's Value Recognized as Nourishmen
for Athletes and Soldiers.

The Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitunr
publishes an article on sugar as food
from the pen of German chemist. that
might appear to be written in the inter
est of the sugar rcfiner were it NOT for
its evidently scientific treatment of tho
question, based on practical expert
men;s. According to this account.
sugar is not only most welcome to tho
palate. but from its powers to nourish
almost the most valuable thing which
one can eat. There is scarcely any
other equally important feeder of mus
Gle force The laborer can do nothing
better than keep few Jumps of sugar
in his pocket. The negroes i'm the sugar
plantations renew and quicken their
weary bodies By sucking the sugar
cane.
Sugar is fine restorative for sol
dicrs. The Dutch troops in their cam
paigns in Sumatra maintain their yIgor
and freshness not only during the
march, but during the fight, by a gen
erous allowance of sugar. Each man
is served with handful al n time. The
Swiss chamois hunters bear similar
testimony to its marvellous powers of
sustenance and recupcra;ion from
fatigue. The German writer gives nm
account of successful experiments made
with sugar as food for athletes By row
ing clubs. by pedestrians. by cyclists
and other whose bodily forces need "a
rapid. portable ana innocent stirnu
liant" Sugar is used in Holland in the
course of training for contests. and is
found to be as good for beasts as IL is
for men. Cheap sugar the professor
declares to be treasure for the poor
AS TO the teeth, he says, it is not the
sugar that Injuries them. but the So
called fruit acids" introduced in CANDY
to flavor the sugar. The negroes on the
plantations. who devour sugar in i'm
mense quantities. have the best teeth
in the world.
