MUSIC AND DRAMA.

''7777'' played to light business last night
at the Crawford theater. The play IS an
old-time sensational melo-drama. with the
regulation quota of killings, pursuits, es-
capes, culbinating in the vindication Of
the much-abused hero and in the confu-
sion of the villain and his assistants. 1t
took five long acts to tell the story. The
play with some improvements In the
parts, and after some of the actors learn
their lines, may be all right but the per-
Torrance last night was nothing more
than fair. A few stirring scenes were
good and in some degree made UP for de-
ficiencies in other ways. Next attraction,

Greece Bars the Theater HAT.

The first official act Of M. Trianto-
phyllacos, the Grecian minister of the
interior, was to issue an order forbid
ding the wearing of hats at any theat-
rical representation. This met with
unanimous approval from the men and
a storm OF protests from the women.
One of Athens leaders of fashion ap-
peared at the theater n short time ago
with her luxuriant tresses crowned
with a very minute bonnet. The Of
ficer on duty politely called her atten-
tion to the printed notices forbiddine
the wearing OF hats, and she was
Obliged to remove the Objectionable
headgear, all the while vowing to be
revenged. The next evening the wom-
an arrived at the theater bonnetless
but her hair was arranged in such @
manner that It was little short of 6

THE BALLAD OF BERRY BROWN.

oh, do you know a country lad by name OF
Berry Brown.
Who rides upon load of wood along the
streets OF town.
He has a hat turned up In front and crum-
pied down behind,
His curly hair so long and fair Is tumbled by
the wind,
And through his coat his elbows peep, and
through his boots his toes;
But everywhere and anywhere he whistles
Us he goes.
There's something strangely taking in the
eyes of Berry Brown
They seem to flash II CHEEKY light along the
streets OF town;
Despite his coarse and tattered vest, his
boots and hat forlorn.
His trousers patched, ,threadbare and sagged,
his shirt so old and worn,
For every glimpse he gives he takes meas
ure of surprise
And everybody wonders where the secret Of
II lies.
And SO his way OF sitting there, so steadfast,
calm and strong;
His air, MS II his whistling bore wagon and
wood along;
His independence and self-trust, the firm
set throat and chin,
The working OF his muscles when he reins
his horses in,
TAKE hold OF one and fnscinate, as hints ana
glimpscs can,
When all the glory of boy is merging into
man.
Oh, Berry Brown looks careless, bat he
holds his secret well;
Var hidden In the clouds are heights whereon
his visions dwell;
Within him somewhere swells vein OF an
cient hero-vim,
And who shall hold him bhck one step, or
set the pace for him2
Walt, you shall see II poverty can chain so
strong n soul.
Or II to sell his wood can be the rounding Of
his goal
Tho old folk shake their heads and say:
Look out for Berry Brown
When he shall measure forces with the best
boys in the town
The wind has beat in Berry's face, the sun
has burned his skin.
And W nier's cruel hand has pinched whorc
Berry Brown has been;
But hearts like his are brave enough to meet
the strokes that form
And fortify the giant souls that take tho
world by storm ~
Maurice Thompson, In st. Nicholas.
