Experience Qualities.

The common impulse of those who re- pent is to lead others to accept Christ as Lord and Savior. This desire for the conversion of our friends is not all extra ordinary condition, but the normal state of the true Christian. And he who has never felt his soul yesrning for the sal vation of the lost may well doubt his own conversion. Those who have lost this find that with it they have lost we'll nigh all interest in their own immortal interests

Bispham and Symphony Orchestra.

The success attending the Friday af-
tcrnoon series of symphony concerts
by the Washington symphony Orches-
ira has led Mr.. de Koven and the man
agement to extend their plans in this
direction by giving. at Chase's Theater,
the Sunday night following each Friday
afternoon concert a symphony concert
by the same orchestra and soloist. and
at the same scale of prices. The great
difference between the Lafayette Fri
day afternoon symphonies and those
following at Chase's Sunday nights is
in the program. which at Chase's will
be made up of entirely different solo
and instrumental numbers.
David Bispham, the famous American
baritone. has been secured by the man
agement and will sing in conjunction
with the symphony orchestra at Chase's

Pantomime Secrets.
The Hanlons Reveal Curious Informa.
tion About Clowns.

Even those who have been familiar
with the Pierrot's Harlequins and
clowns Of pantomime for many years
OF play-going, do not know how stead
ily these comedy characters have fol-
lowed the lines OF acting laid down for
them 50 many generations that the time
OF their origin is obscure.
Probably William and Edward Han
Ion, OF "Superba," know more OF the
history OF pantomime than any auJhOri-
ties OF the stage, yet even they have
forgotten many OF the reasons for the
spurious markings on the faces OF the
clowns. the typical business that dis
tingu!shes 'Pierrot in 'Superba.'

They can tell some interesting stories or

for the individuality of each. In a con

characters In the pantomime, and when
he removes the mask is seen by all?
How many know that the three typl-
cal marks on the clown face. the only
relief from the Wilderness OF the fea-
lures, are there, or rather were put
there for some special reason, the
meaning OF which is known today by
no man; yet. In their time. these marks
were first made by the Greeks In their
pantomimes. and probably before the
time OF the Greeks. They are actually
sign writings. which told the spectator
in olden times the temperament OF the
character much as the chin-piece de-
notes the German comedian OF today.
Other clowns have other denoting
signs OF similar antiquity. The Pierrot
character In ''Superba' was conceived
by the Hanlons. when they were aero

Joe Welch had been playing a week 5
engagement in a Western city. on
Saturday night after the curtain had

been more than satisfactory financially.
AT about this time the peaceful slum-

type you might see by going into the
East Side Ghetto district OF New
