A MESSAGE TO DEMOCRATS.
Or. Albion w. Small Lectures Before the
yCeurn

The heavy storm of last evening pre-
vented a great many from hearing the ex-
cellent lecture delivered by DR.. Albion w
Small. who appeared btlore the Lyceum
at the Jefferson Roof Garden. The audi
ench, though small, was very apprecia-
tive.
"A Message to the Twentieth Century
Democrats was not, as the subject would
lead one to believe, Il political discourse,
I,u. rather Il sociological one. DR.. Small
spoke of democracy in it's broader sense
"If democracy should fail in America. he
said sit is because too low an ideal is
placed On man" His MESA se to twenti-
eth century democrats was that each one
should look to the highest and not accept
{, compromise. In speaking of the needs
essential to the ideal democracy. he de-
cared was first a sense of humor: second,
a recognition that men are not born equal.
trat men are net, never were and never
VIII be equal. Third, that the trouble with
the present system of pedagogy is that the
imperative mood is no longer used. 1t is
now: You may do this or that and not.
.yc:u must do it. as should be the case.
Education, he said further, should be a
free agency. unfettered by ideas.
Every sentence cla DR.. Smalis showed
the deep thought and research of the stu
dent He was gracefully introduced by
Rev. Or. Il. II. Pitt.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Way Down East was given a snlen-
Old production at the Academy last night.
The care and ihoroughness shown in every
part. however small. The play is a pas
1oi'al drama that at once is compared with
The Old Homestead but it is a far
stronger PLAY in every detail and in the
ensemble. The stage settings We're those
used in the metropolitan production. and
the four scenes presented were admirable
examples of what the modern scenic art
list and stage manager can accomplish.
A snow-stor1n in the third act was Droba-
bly, the most realistic stage effect ever
seen in Richmond.
Phoebe Davies, who created the role OF
Anna Moore. is an actress of great emo
1ional powers. There is a tinesse about
her art that makes her acting like a
cleaT-cut cameo. There is Il quiet, al11o St
reserved. intensity in her climax in the
third act. but the power. however re-
pressed, is there. and the enthusiastic
curtain calls that she received were
richly deserved.
Scott Cooper as Squire Bartlett and
Uric 3. Collin his son David were eN-
Haney Hi Heller was very lauEhahle.
and he was ably seconded by Frank Bell
and Ed. Chapman in TWO eccentric COM
edr parts

than most OF that ilk. Frank Cunier was

a type of New England spinster that
showed she possesses great ability as a

GOOD BILL AT BIJoU.
One Of the best vaudeville bills OF the
season is on at the Biiou this week. 1t is
one of the strongest shows that Manaser
Wells has brough; to Richmond The
theatre WAS crowded. Stuart Barnes and
Mabel Sisson made a hit in the presenta-
tor of real farce comedy, bright and
musical. Barnes is a. comedian OF new
school He is clever. and in rendering a
series of new coon SONGS scored hit
Even after the act was over there was
anr.lanse calling for more. Zeno Carl and
Zeno. who had the difficult task OF cl tso
1ny the show. were seen IN one OF Inc
-nSsi daring aerial bar acts enacted at
the Bijou. It is wonderful from starr ~, 1o
Snish and very sensational. Ameta. the
hes,1, ;f,il dancer. gave Il new act that
vas acceptable She is one of the clever
