Sol Smith Russell's "A Poor Relation
COMPANY,

Everyone who likes to see a clean,
wholesome play full Of laughter and
some tears should thank the manager
for his energy and liberality IN
securing for an ,early production Sol
Smith Russell's great comedy, ga
Poor Relation" which has served to
place Mr.. Russell on the same plane
Of popularity as did Grip Van
Wrinkle" Mr.. Jefferson. Manager
Fred G. Berger, who has always
guided the fortunes of the eminent
comedian, re-engaged the supporting
company after the latter's recent
illness and consequent retirement
from the stage for another year, and
with Frederick Summer6eld, a young
actor whose humor is of the quaint,
quiet kind that is peculiarly Mr..
Russell's own, he proposes to give
the play-goers of those towns and
cities who have never seen the play a
chance to do so. Moreover, the pro-
duction of "a Poor Relation" will be
on the same elaborate scale In every
detail of stage equipment that has
always characterized Mr.. Russell's
performance.

In his address before the Church

startling statement concerning women

inclined to view with lenient eye
the evils which exist in society at the
present day. In mapping ont for the
society its work for the coming year,
he advised it not TO neglect the men
who are addicted 10 the drink habit
but to pay particular attention to the
women. because intoxication is grow
ing among them at a faster rate than
among men. He declared that .etatis-
tics covering the last fifty years prove
that while intoxication among mer
