Mir and Mrs. Kendall appear for a farewell engagement at the Hyperion on Saturday night presenting the very charming four act comedy by Sydney Grundy, entitled "A White Lie." This play has not been done in this country for some time, and though a revival of former success, should command all most as much attention from playgoers as would a new production. It was written especially for the KendaIs and presents Mrs. Kendall in a purely light comedy role ssillfully conceived and in
 bold relief upon a groundwork of mari tai infidelity. There Is the old, old story of a bored husband, a wife pining for affection and the tempter, who seeks to lead the unhappy woman from the path of duty. In the endeavor to shield the wife, when discovery is inn
 minent, a friend jeopardizes her own happiness by untruthfuly laying claim to compromising letter. As Kate Des- mond the sacrificing friend and strong minded wife, Mrs. KendaPs comedy work is the bright feature of the piece.
 MT. Kendall, in the role of Sir John Molyneaux, deftly portrays the blase husband, and as Lady Molyneaux, Nell lie Campbell ably pictures the erring wife. This will be the Kendals last en- gagement here, as they sail for London on the Wednesday following their en- gagement here Seats now on sale. Prices s1.5O, $1, 75c.

Ignace Jan Paderewski, indeed, is by nature of a strongly emotional temperament tending to melancholy. He Is a Pole; and Poland is the Niobe of the nations, The heritage of her chil- dren is the mocking tradition of a bril- liant and irrevocable past and the iron of vassalage has entered into their very. souls. Always in the minor key" he, has said of their music, it is character istic of the people, the singing of broken heart" Nor has the enrichment of personal experience been denied him, for his early manhood was clouded by sore bereavement, by a long struggle for bare existence. Had his intellectual equipment been less, his emotionalism might thus have taken a morbid trend
 by this saving grace it has developed spiritual aloofness from the spurious realities of life vivid insight into it's
 inner mysteries.
