Fighting Joe Hooker, and went with

Holy City, and "The Palms" The
Boston Globe says of the production:
The Volunteer Organist" has been
seen in Boston before, and it has scored
big success, so it was not unusual
that last night the people who visited
the Grand Opera House should applaud
frequently the many admirable pas
sages that are presented by a capable
company of players. There is some-
thing about the story that appeals to
the people. While it contains much
that is affiliated with religious affairs,
yet this is brought out in such a way
that no one can find anything border
ing upon the sacrilegious.
The love story that twines itself
about two of the promised characters
is deliciously sweet, and until the final
breath Of happiness is waited to them
the audience feels animated with a de-
sire to take a hand in the affair and
help straighten it out. But 1t ends
happily. The broad spirit of Christian
charity is well emphasized in the treat
ment accorded to one who has fallen,
and this adds interest to the play. The
scenic effects are very good.
George Nichols had the role of Tom
Sturgis, and he played it with fine
judgment and was applauded literally.
So was Gertrude Fowler, who gave an
excellent portrayal of her role. Cyril
Raymond. was delightful as the clergy
man, and Allan Pearce created a fa-
vorable impression in his role. Other
parts were capitally played by John
German, Charles Hasty, George Lewis,
Harry Lee, Douglas Flint, Carrie
Thomas, Agnes Porter. Dorothy Gish
and May Speare.

New Haven Theater.

Nothing as pleasing to all classes
has so far this season been offered to
theatre-goers as THE Volunteer Or
ganist," which comes to the New Ha-
ven Theatre as. the holiday attraction
to-day, matinee and night. The play
will be repeated Friday and Saturday
nights and at the Saturday matinee.
Its story is sweet one and is en-
tirely different from the efforts hither-
to put forth 10y any dramatist. The
piece may truly be called a semi-reli-
gious one, inasmuch as its plot has so
much to do with the church, and in
deed one of the central characters is a
broad-minded, progressive minister,
who, Notwithstanding his liberal ideas,
does not fail to accomplish in his flock
the end which he set out to attain. A
striking scene is the rescue of a little
child by two st. Bernard dogs during a
bowling snow storm. Another scene
shows the interior of church, which
is very attractive; in the scene the
wonderful voiced choir boys render the

COFFEE VS.. COLLEGE.
Student Had to Give Up Coffee.

Some people are apparently immune
to coffee poisoning-if you are not, Ma
ture will tell you so in the ailments she
sends as warnings. And when you get
warming heed it or you get hurt, sure.
A young college student writes from
New York:
II had been told frequently that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and if I had
not been told the almost constant head
aches with which began to suffer aft
er using it for several years, the state
of lethargic mentality which gradually
came upon me to hinder me in my
studies. the general lassitude and in
disposition to any sort of effort which
possessed me, ought to have been suffi-
cient warning. But l disregarded them
till my physician told me a few months
ago that I must give up coffee or quit
college. / could hesitate no longer, and
at once abandoned coffee.
"On the advice of friend I began to
drink Postum Food Coffee, and rejoice
to tell you that with the drug of coffee
removed and the healthful properties of
Postum in its place, l was soon relieved
of all my ailments. The headaches and
nervousness disappeared entirely
strength came back to me, and my
complexion, which had been very, very
bad, cleared up beautifully. Better
than all, my mental faculties We're
toned up and became more vigorous
than ever, and now feel that no course
of study would be too difficult for me. 7"

to be the most beautiful woman on the
American stage, as well as one Of the

A CROWN OF THoRNs.

When two such we'll known dramatic
authors as Jay Hunt and Hal Reid coll
laborate the result is naturally promis-
ing. "A Crown of Thorns" is the title
Of the play. Either one of these gem
tlemen has proven his capability to
write a good play by himself, so that
when the ideas of both are united the
result should he more than satisfacto-
ry. Mr.. Hunt was the author of
Down by the Sea" and Hearts of
Gold, while Mr.. Reid has contributed
more melodramas to the stage than
any other one man. The play has been
carefully produced by Mr.. Phil Hunt,
a manager known for his liberality and
care, and will be seen here at the New
Haven Theatre Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights next week and at
the Wednesday matinee.
