Philosophy of Epictetus,

Epictetus: Everything has two
handles; one by which it may be
borne, another by which it cannot. If
your brother acts unjustly, do not lay
hold on the affair by the handle OF
his injustice, for by that it cannot be
borne; but rather by the opposite, that
he is your brother, that he was
brought up with you, and thus you will
lay hold on it as it is to be borne.

day afternoon to the obvious delight OF
the usual big Sunday audience. The
revival evens up matters between the
two Main street stock houses. The
Burbank has given us Held by the
Enemy and now the dramatized story
Of the Frederick girl; while the Belasco
has offered The Heart of Maryland
and Secret Service, Thus, Mr.. Mo-
rosco has given Mr. Blackood Gil
lette for a Gillette and Fitch for Be-
lasco. There is still Shenandoah" and
the Fourth of July is coming.
When he wrote barbara Frietchie'
Mr.. Fitch's bag of tricks was still in
good repair. More recently that bag
has shown signs of wear and all of the
holes have not been darned as neatly
as they should have been. In this war
play. however. Mr. Fitch displayed fine
craftsmanship. In it he Is at his melo-
dramatic best. The piece is un- Fitch
ian as to lines;i It is not smart. but 1t is
humanity exciting and properly patri-
otic.
In case you happen never to nave
seen the play you may as well under
stand that Mr.. Fitch, in his drama. has
accomplished the rejuvenation of Bar
bara. The wrinkles have been smoothed
away. lyon gray heady has been
transformed into q most charming
tangle of delightfully."- youthful curls.
There remains of the Whittier charac-
ter only the name. the patriotism and
the flag episode Some day dramatist
will give us a play whose central ngure
shall be a dear delightful old LADY,
suggesting perhaps Miss zona gale
lovable character of Etarre, but Mr..
Fitch will not be that man.
Barbara Frietchie' was produced
originally by Miss Julia Marlowe. and
served that distinguished player well
for two seasons. Since then 1t has been
often presented by stock organizations.
It's story and the manner of its telling
are too familiar to theater-goers to re-
uuire extended comment here.
Yesterday afternoons presentation at
the Burbank was marred by an un-
usual uncertainty as to lines Miss Hall
and Mr.. Beasley being the chief Offend
ers This was particularly noticeable
at the close of the first act. and again
in the third act; while omissions in the
second act brought the curtain down in
haste before the audience had fairly
grasped what had transpired. Natu-
rally, however. these faults Will be
corrected before another performance,
Miss Halls Barbara is the very sort
of a young women that makes strong
est appeals to her many local friends.
The part gives her some opportunity
for comedy, more for emotional work
and still more for the enthusiastic de-
livery of patriotic sentiment, whicn
provides ample reason for answering
enthusiasm on the part Of the audi
ence.
Mr.. Desmond is the Captain Trum-
bull He is called upon to make love to
Barbara, which he does to the ample
satisfaction of the house. to get himself
wounded, which he does off stage, ana
to make love again. Mr.. Beasley plays
the stern. yet not too stern father:

N HARLIE MURRAY and Ollie Mack
opened their second week at the
~ Grand to capacity audiences potn
afternoon and evening yesterday Tnere
are some improvements over iast
weeks performance and the balmy cli-
mate of Southern California has put
more ginger into the members OF tne
chorus than they showed week ago.
Manager Tom Baker was enjoying
large fat cigar in the lobby as the
Herald man passed out after the show.
Eli, YOU" he shouted. Ever met
Ollie Mack?"
The cartoonist admitted he had never
seen him nearer than the fourth row.
Come on back. He has his fat on
by this time and you can get good
view of him."
They went back"
TO get hack" at the Grand is like
the scriptural stunt proposed for the
camel-passing through the eye OF a
needle. But where the rotund manager
OF the Grand can pass At will be rat
reporter who cannot follow.
Ollie had not removedthis Tat when
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-23

they reached his dressing room and
both witnessed the process with much
interest. He emerged from his rubber
paraphernalia a slender and decently
proportioned young man, probably
thirty years of age.
The sloughing process required all
his breath. but as soon as he was able
to speak he acknowledged the saluta-
tions of the visitors in a voice that IS
as Irish as it sounds.
80 you are going to diagram some of
our jokes, eh?' said Ollie when The
Herald cartoonlst was introduced
"Well. that's, fine dope, all right It's
always the best jokes that need foot
notes. But just Nthe same 1t kills Joke
for show purposes when it gets into the
papers.
Funny, isn't it? Why. the. newspapers
and weeklies print the same old dope. the
same old atories and the same old Jokes
year after year and nobody seems to think
it odd or degrading or disllonorable to
disinter one Of these humorous munl-
mics. But iE we or any other show use
back numbers we are all to the bad.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-23

Last week one of your local weeklies
reprinted story about Admiral Evans
which has done duty in every country
weekly from Maine to San Diego for the
past five years. Yet this big Los Angeles
weekly paper used it-and got it wrong,
too.
1T takes good part of my time think
ing up new gags and new business for
the show. A story or a joke never out
lasts one season That is If 1t is live
one. Some sorts of nonsense never get
o.d, but real jokes dare not show up
twice in the same theater
but about the jokes that need di-
agram-I wish you would make map
OF one or two that we have on hand and
we will hang them out over the foot
lights so that the audience will laugh In
the right place.
"One of the things in the show is about
a man who asked whether franchises are
eaten with a knife or fork But It
never gets home to the greater part OF
the audience. because the majority Of
the people who talk about franchises are
not quite sure whether they are meat
or vegetables"
