men in 'FinneGan's Ball. are making
their eighth annual tour of the country
and will be here at the Crawford theater
on Wednesday, March 1S Not many
farce comedies live to reach this age,
but it has always been the policy of the
manage ment to secure the best people
that were TO be found in the farce com
edy field, and supply them every year
with new and bright material to work
with. Farce comedy is of that loose dra-
ma tic construction which permit, and
even invites, these annual changes or re-
vision, and when carefully and judicious-
~ done. as has been the case with The
Ball the entertainment is really new
one each year. More elaborate changes
and improvements have been made in the
piece this season than any time in the
last four years. and the result is that
even those who have seen the piece many
times before will find il this year new
entertainment to them.
In every sense OF the word, "Finnegan's
Ball" is this season new show. Its old
friends can see it again, confident OF
filming even more entertainment than
ever before and host of new friends
will be glad to see the farce comedy sue
cess.

We'll pleased. The plot was interesting
and the company is we'll balanced. The
audience was thoroughly Interested in
the play from the start, and there were
no awkward breaks to change the interest
to ridicule, as sometimes happens in the
best of companies. Some of the minor
characters were rather weak, but on the
whole the play was good and was en-
joyed by the audience.
Viola Kibble. as Rose Prescott. was ex-
fellent. She has beauty, grace and a good
foice, which she used to good advantage
j. w. Bayley. as Tom Manly a lover
Of Rose Prescott, was also good and

he first appeared He had a natural and
Easy way on the stage that is pleasing.
Master Gordon Slater. as Little Nell

Manley was very touching. and in the
scene where little Nell died with Tom by
her side, handkerchiefs went to many
eyes.
The specialties were fair and filled in
between acts to good advantage.

The kneIl of the Irish Joke,

Wherever the breezes carry
The language that Shakespeare spoke,
The chambers of progress echo
The knell Of the Irish joke.
Wherever the sun is vying
With the warmth Of the Celtic soul
From the belfries Of truth, the dirges
For scorn and for falsehood roll.
In land that is strange in It's humor.
Ever comic itself in it's mirth,
The jibe at the conquered and friendless
And the rough burlesque had thei,
birth,
Like the plague that journeys in vessels
This tasteless derision spread,
And the scorn Of a realm then building
Was heaped on the builders head
But the shackles on Celtic effort,
The walls by the tyrant laid,
After ages, at length lie shattered
On the highways q new age made.
In the regions, whose name should be
Future"
The dawn of new day broke.
AS mist from our race it Is rolling
The curse of the Irish joke.

closed the private view."

where she could be seen plainly from
the street and waited for somethn;

boy, and one who is very we'll liked
by all who know him.
For some years Orbra has suffered

BILE which was very annoying. and
which made him miserable all the

times every night, almost all his life.
His father heard Of a remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought some
for the little fellow with the result
that he Is now completely cured Of
the old trouble. He says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills soon gave me
great relief. and now I can sleep all
hight without having to get up. We
will alwa:'s praise Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
There are many children suffering
from Kidney and Urinary troubles.
These disorders should De promptly

safe and sure remedy for all such de.
rangements.
Master Orbra Young conquered his
troubles and made well boy Of him
self by using Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
any one may do The same by the same
means.
Parents should see to it that their
children are given fair chance in
life, and there ia nothing that can

umns. This is because, in the first
place. they are more likely to find
news Of their friends there than in the

place, they are interested in personal
matters-they have the subject so
much in their minds.
Young girls turn first to the soci.

to the fashions. Young men of the

sporting news; while boys univer-

Of course, reads the dramatic col.

views; but neither of these depart

disinterested public consult first OF
all.
"The elderly gentleman Of pompous
appearance reads the leaders first;
while his corpulent, cheerful wife
reads the recipes on the household

been remembered with requests.
There are many people who read the
crimes, the scandals and the shocking
accidents first. Poets, as a rule, will
not read the newspapers at all.
