/ losOphy. Sis Hopkins" is a play full
{ of the human sympathies of honest
( hearts, and there is running through
IL a trace of the genuine pathos which
IS forever cropping out in human ma
/ ture, deiieately shading the high lights
OF this work-a-daN life. Sis Hopkins

It is easily seen that the author was
one who has read carefully the HUI
man heart and has sounded deeply the
well-Springs of JOY and sorrow. II is
one OF the few plays which one can
see aS3ln and again, and be the bet
ter for the seeing. II is refreshing and
clean. and the delights OF Sis homely
philosophy are long renem bcred. II

the world an expression which has
been more widely quoted and more
thoroughly enjoyed than her famous
reply 10 the villain Of the play- You

season is newly equipped and the com
pany which Mr. Stirling has supplied .
for the support Of his star is really
remarkable for the h~illiancy End ex-
