EMPIRE THEATRE

Miss Cecil Spooner and her star COM
pany in The Girl Raffes" scored big
hit at the Empire theatre last evening.
The play was written by Charles +.
Baney and is what he calls musical
melodrafna II differs considerably, how
ever. from the average melodrama, and Is
much more refreshing. IL Is somewhat
original The author has made no attempt
To make Il apply to the usual melodra-
matte quotation "a play true 10 life,' nor
does he attempt TO teach a moral. IL
is a pleasing story, certain 10 entertain
everybody. 1t has clever plot and the
music and comedy is sklfully inter
spersed with the dramatic element
The title role. Raffes, is, OF course,
given to Miss Spooner. and she is given
the best OF opportunities to display her
cleverness. Possessed OF a charming per-
sonalitv and gifted with rare talent, she
succeeds in giving full Justice TO the role
She is supported by a capable company
which includes William II. Turner, the
favorite of the Albee Stock company,
who assumes the role of Ironsides. Mr.
George Moore Is the co-star. and Is very
successful as Burke, the detective. Lon
Hascalf and Richard Thompson take
good care OF the comedy work and keep
the audience amused. Charles Gibson as
Jimmy. Ironsides' clerk, assumes the part
very creditably. and all the other char
acters do their work very cleverly. The
chorus Is a well trained one, and the sing
Ing is good
Tho theme OF the play deals with the
adventures OF Raffles. who Is brought up
amoung a gang OF thieves by lronsides,
though ignorant OF their true character.
She Is, however. well treated. and meets
Burke. the detective, who Is sent TO
watch the thieves. Raffles learns that she
is really entitled by birth TO "A place In
nobility. and she Is acquainted with the
fact that papers In the safe OF a rich lord
established her real identity. Disguised In
mans garb she enters the lords house
and secures a position as valet TO his son.
In the night aided by Jimmy. she blows
up the safe and gets the papers which
prove that she is the daughter OF the
lord Early I'm the play pretty love

TO OTHERS
Or, William E. BiederWolf Asks
Christians to Address Eel.
low Men as to Souls.
MATERIAL THINGS ATTRACT
Subiect of Sermon Last Evening, "Per-
sonaI Responsibilities Men
Only Tomorrow Night.

at is not so bad to be on lonely
island and not have encouragement
from friends, as to be in busy city,
and still have no friends. There are those
in Rock Island sinking beneath their
burdens, because no one gives them
any encouragement and sympathy,
said DR.. Biederwolf at the rink in
opening his sermon last night.
People really want you to care
about their spiritual welfare, and,
though perhaps you feel that to speak
10 fellow man about his soul is in
delicate, and that your words would be
scorned, in reality many an unsaved
one would be glad to have you talk to
them on the subject"
He suggested three reasons why the
Christian is SO slow to speak TO anoth-
or about spiritual matters, the reasons
being that other things attract atten-
ion more; that the personal RESPONSE
bility for the spiritual welfare of 9th
ers is not realized; and that belief in
God is lacking, and God is made liar
by the kind of life lived. Commenting
on the first of these reasons, DIR. Bic
derwolf said: This is materialistlc
age, and the spiritual life is so unreal,
that the existence of such thing is
almost forgotten. You seem not to
have conception of the relative impor-
tance of material and spiritual things.
It should be understood that we are
souls with bodies, rather than bodies
with souls
Personal Responsibility.
Speaking of the personal RESPONSE
bility of each for his fellow man, which
was the real theme of the sermon, DR.
BiederwOlf quoted numerous Scriptural
verses to more plainly show this re
sponsibility, saying. The man who
seeks for heaven only to save his own
soul, may keep to the path, but will
never reach the goal"
The third reason for spiritual idle
ness he held to be the most important
the lack of belief in God You dc
not seem TO realize the truth of the
bible, when it tells of the fate of those
who die without Christ" he said. Civ
| ing many illustrations of the effect of q
realization of this responsibility, h.
said. 1T is not strange that some
should act so, but strange that you
knowing what you know, do not have
such concern for those unsayed about
YOU
His closing sentence contained 4
| thought on the effect of such concern
And if any one has so much concern
for you, don't you think you should be
more concerned about YOURSELF"
Tomorrow two important services
will he held, the young peoples meet
ing at the rink at o'clock, and the
| lecture for men only at the rink al
7:30 in the evening, by DR.. Bieder
wolf.
