Those who witnessed the acting of
Kyrle Bellew in "a Gentleman Of
France" at the Metropolitan during
the latter half of the past week,
must have been impressed by
mate finish. Absence of Evolutionary
effort marked the actors delivery of
the most dramatic speeches, yet he
was ever distinct. No stilted nor
strident tones offended the ear; no
starts nor struts, such as are Witness
ed nowhere save upon the stage of
theater, distressed the eye. Indeed
one might truly say that even in the
very whirlwind of his passion this ac-
tor used all gently and so begot
a temperance, that gave his passion
smoothness, as Hamlet advised the
player.
And yet how easy it all looked!
In view of the brevity and simplicity
of Hamlet's instructions to the player,
it seems strange that so few talented
opponents of the histrio}ic art make
even an effort to obey i an. True,

zine, and in the current Issue Of Frank
Leslie's Monthly there appears an ar
ticle of unusual interest on Joseph
Jefferson. In 1t he pays the following
tribute to the venerable comedian:
None of us seem to have much gen.
tleness now-a- days. We all have BIZ
cycle faces-hard and set, tense and
eager looking and suggestive, I fear,
of the thought that we have full opin-
ions of our Worth-a fact borne out,
I'm bound to admit, by some of the adj
vance notices one reads. And well
may we ask what is the matter with
the present generation of players?
Perhaps, though, in this day of big
things from the organization of trusts
to the staging of plays, 1t has become
necessary to assert ones self more or
suffer the humiliation of being thrust
into the rear ranks.
1T wasn't SO in Jefferson's day. An
actor took his art seriously then and
did not depend to such an extent up
on scenic embellishments and the
graceful eXaggeration of press man
ahead.
1.-The art of Joseph Jefferson does not
strike you in the face and demand
your approval or your life. 1t reaches
out across the footlights and puts its
arms around your neck, draws you
close to its heart and comforts you.
Just the reward of practising the gen.
tie art Of acting-and what a gentle
art it is-when practiced by gentle
folk"
Referring to the injustice accorded
meritorious players, and the prefer
ence shown to inferior performers in
these times, Hillary Bell says in the
New York Press
"Well equipped players are thrust
aside for novices whose eagerness to
gain an engagement make any terms
pleasing to them. Possessed, posi-
bly,, of more charms of nature than
those who have acquired the graces
of art, they prosper personally while
the drama lanquishes. Thus, Ger

Poultry raisers can afford to expert
ment in some directions. but when il
comes to Matching chicks-the foundation
of their business-they cannot afford to
take chances or run risks. They dare not
trust their time and eggs and labor to q
machine which may fail them. They
want an incubator upon which they can
depend with absolute certainty of results.
That is the reason. we think. why the
old standby Reliable Incubator continues
year after year to lead the world in sales,
both in this country and abroad 1t has
long ago proved its worth. Experienced
poultrymen know exactly what they can
count upon when they start it: they run
no risks. The Reliable is built by prac-
teal poultry men who devote all their
time AMI energy to the poultry and in
cubator business and keep constantly inn
proving their product. The long years Of
experience which they have had is worth
thousands of dollars to poultry raisers.
A part of this experience is Incorporated
