At The PLAY HOUSES.
..The Girl with the Green Eye..- a,

the BurwOOd.
Miss Lang requires you to love The Girl
With the Green Eyes" even though that
person has a conEeuitsl fault in which
philosophers for many years have agreed
is packed unlimited scope for making
trouble Especially then. in the Clyde Fitch
play the climacteric scene caused BY the
jealous wife is provoked by an act not short
Of imbecilic by the husband in wrftirg an
ambiguous letter TO the girl the wife be-
lieves TO be her rival
The tone Miss Lang produces best in her
delineation 81 this role is the pathetic.
Your sympathy goes to the girl. and you
feel that she is not to blame. and that the
responsibility is pretty well distributed upon
her parents. her husband and her brother.
The wrath Of jimmy Austin. according TO
Miss Lang. is not the tempestucus kind.
Rather 1t is the hinty. insult-dealing hate Of
the warmest Of warm natures suddenly
CONCEALED. You get ice. not fire. from the
wounds the girl thinks she has suffered.
But when bolt Of revelation shows Jimmy
how wrong she is lump rises in one
throat for her. In the end the conclusion
the actress forces the audience 10 take is
that there was not such an abnormal
quantity Of green in her eyes after all.
.
| for comparison.
Her work is full OF delicate shadinEs and
touches here and there that develop the
character. II cannot he said with truth
that Miss Lang exhibits capa hilities beyond
which she has already proved she possesses
! but belief in her range of ability is
strengthened.
Mr.. Morrison's John Austin is a marked
/ improvement over any serious part he has
done at the Burwood. except John Storm
I in The Christian The better effects he
secures seem TO come more from an absence
of conscious effort than anything else. Only
! in one or two scenes does he leave his
methods open TO attack
! There is one social struggler in the play
a Miss CuIingham. and whose culture has
not been refined to anything like a danger
/ Gus degree. Yet Miss Hudson who plays
the role. leaves the impression that her
creation belongs in the niche Of society
where the playwright intended to place her
Miss Hudson's work is decidedly a fea-
ture % the performance and in it she
makes the furthest stride vet in a little
journey of steadily improving effort.
Mr.. Todd's role is dificult one. that of
the girls brother. who has a huge load of
trouble Of the most unpleasant kind. Fault
might be found in his portrayal in the
point that Il Is too restrained.
Miss Davis does clever acting as Maggie
She makes Maggie just the kind OF a per
son rakish young college man would
be apt to throw himself away upon and
does well TO avoid the blatant coarse
type Miss Ward as the girls mother dis.

LEES ON BIG NINE CHANGES
Member of Nebraska Board Endorses
Reforms III Foot hall Game.

LINCOLN. Jan. s1.-(Special Telegram -
James T. Lees. q member OF the athletic
board OF the University Of Nebraska has
endorsed the recommendations OF the Big
Nine" foot ball committee as announced
in the morning papers.
Il think Nebraska viii comply with the
recommends lions, said Nj. Lees. but
Just what effect n will have on the game
! cannot say at this time. as the changes
proposed are so radical. l am heartily in
favor Of abolishinc the professional coach
and the training table. Ny experience here
has taught me that these should go We
have had enough.
Il believe the recommendations viii have
the effect of making the faculties Of col
leges take more interest in athletics. In
the past the faculty has paid too little at
tention to athletics and has delegated this
TO some one else or to some board. The
faculty should understand that athletics is
an essential part of the school.

sBreaking Into society" at the krug.
Breaking Into Society is worth the
money. The four Murtons are established
in their line as comedians and dancers OF
high type, and in the present instance
they are heading company of willing
workers whose combined effort makes the
evening spent with them all too short The
piece is simply a succession Of song and
nonsense the plot being altogether unneces-
sary, and not at all obtrusive. II is the
Irish witticism OF Sam Morton and his
wife. and the singing and dancing OF Paul

singing and dancing and general fooiishness
OF several others, and the whole backed
UP by a chorus no singing soubrette need

TWo=TiTLEs.

An American father had two daugh- ters. and when he died he left each of them large fortune. One of them said to herself, I like society, like titles. and as there are no titles In America I will cast my lot in foreign lands. AS she was rich and attrac- tive, it was not long before a titled gentleman from France offered her his hand in marriage. She accepted, the marriage ceremony was perform ed, and she went with her titled husband to Paris, opened a palace, and went in for all the enjoyments of French society.
 We shall not speak of the many troubles which befell her and the dis tress which her titled husband brought upon herself and members of her family in America. But the up- shot of it is that the count has spent up to this time something like $8,000,000 of her estate, and besides has so outraged her feelings by his attentions to another woman that she has brought suit for divorce.
 The other daughter said, love the simple life best, and will consecrate myself, my talents, my mind. my womanhood and my fortune to the good of humanity From that day she has found her pleasures in doing good. She has never been ostenta- tious; she has never paraded herself before the public; she has found no time for the frivolities of society, for she has been too busy in good works for such diversions. If she had any desire for title, save that which belongs to every true American woman, the public at least had no evidence of it, and yet she has tile She is known throughout the length and breadth of the land as our un- crowned American queen, and that title, which has been voluntarily be- slowed upon her by the American public. is title of honor more rich and worthy than any which has been gained by inheritance or by marriage
 Which of these two titled women do our American girls most admire? And which has had the happier life?

 Rallies, the Amateur Cracksman" is no doubt familiar to some of our readers, for besides the phenomenal sale of the book, the story has been presented in dramatized form to hun dreds of thousands of spectators; but the advantage that Rallies has over most of his competitors in fiction is the fact that he never grows monot. onous, and may be read and re-read with astonishing greed on the part of his admirera =.

A LITTLE LENTON SERMON,

Christian ministers miss both the mark and the true Christian motive when they talk to the individual of saving his own soul, says an eX- change. That is the most aggravated form of spiritual selfshness. What Jesus of Nazareth preached was to devote ones time, thought and effort to making men, women and children clean-minded, fair to each other, happy and peaceful in this life Do that, and the Christ will take care of your soul fer you without your both ering about it. Conscientiously devote yourself to your own souls salvation, and the Christ whom you thus mock will in eternity class you with the scribes and pharisees, the elders and rabble that crucified Him. Would ye find your life, then lose it.' Con- yersely, to be consciously bent on saving your own soul, to be content to save it and have others lose theirs, is the surest means of damning your own. The strongest proof of the Gi- vinity of Christ was the Jewish sheer: He saves others: Himself, He can not save.' He left that to the Father. He concerned Himself with the welfare of others. Unless you do likewise, you will earn at the most His infinite pity, and probably what might be termed His divine con- tempt. And this is the true Christian doctrine, however much it may offend ecclesiastical vanity and theological sanctity.
