THE DELTA.

Down the narrow streamlet drifting,
Are the shrubs and trees decay;
Winds and waves each mass arc shifting,
All advancing in one way.
Each one moving on TO seaward.
And collecting from the shore,
Till one mass Is moving onward,
And the currents work Is DER.
At the entrance OF the ocean,
Overlooking the great sea,
Stands the mass without n motion,
Delta, formed, MS may we see.
Down the Harrow Strcamlet drifting,
Wrestling with the tides of fate,
Fragments of our talent shifting,
Are by far, alone, not great.
Then collected by the power
OF Ambitions current free,
Each uniting every hour,
Moving onward toward Lies sea.
Aged works have been united.
Like a delta, long to last
Present, nor the future sligi;ted,
Each united with the Past.

every line, is as good definition OF
''Dodge's Trip to New York" as can be
given. If it were different, John e.

of II young man TO keep his marriage a

"Wicked London" is a melo-drama
practically new in this country and an
interesting one. 1t tells the story OF
man imprisoned for crime he didn't
commit and the unfailing love oil girl
who had given the unfortunate her
heart. The company is first class and
a large amount OF scenery is carried.
Wicked London opens at Burt's Sur
day, Jan. IA.
When grown men sit in Il theatre
and, without any attempt to conceal
the fact, wipe the tears from their eyes
at scene or scenes in rlay, there
must be something in the attraction
which is worthy OF the attention OF
every theatre goer.
This is common occurrence among
the audiences who assemble to see Hal
Reid's latest and greatest play, 1.-THE
Night Before Christmas"
1t is story SO homely, so pure and
SO perfectly natural that all who wit
ness it are taken back TO the dear,
tender memories OF childhood, to the
Old mother, who in their innocence
guarded and guided their every
moment.
While this is true, the play bristles
with natural comedy and is a story OF
such intense human interest that the
audiences are swayed to the very
depths of human emotion.
'The Night Before Christmas" is a
standard drama. the like of which will
not be seen for many year. "The
Night Before Christmas" comes to

A theatrical event OF great interest
Is announced for next Friday and Sat-
urday with Saturday matinee at the
Valentine, when Willie Collier will
present his new comedy, 'Mr. Smooth, !"
of which he is the author. The farce
has been successful since its production.
The story of "Mr. Smooth" Is that of
breezy Chicago youth OF inimitable
nerve, who introduces himself into the
house Of wealthy New York banker,
pretending to be tho son OF an old
business partner named Smooth. The
real Smooth appears, and three acts
are employed to illustrate the cbIcan-
cry OF the suppositions to keep one
from bcing exposed. Wrought into
this train OF absurdities is story OF SEN
timent which reaches a happy denoue-
ment co-incident with the clearing up
OF the mystery surrounding the two
Snooths. In the production OF "Mr.
Smooth" Mr.. Collier will have the
support OF John w. Ward, George w.
Parsons, Alfred Hickman, Thomas
Evans, M. l.. aackert, Helen Reimer,
Helena Collier, Myrtle May, Louise
Allen Collier and others. Prices: Mat.

credit Sir Stephen Glynne and to show
him up as the mere nominee and in

scornful cries OF Don't answer him"

OF his hand. and then fixed his eyes
on the rude questioner, said In his
blandest manner: II shall hold my

welfare Of the people: and shall hold
him bound to follow you. when you
