Now that San Francisco has seen

sented by the Henry Miller associate
players at the Van Ness theater it is
easy to understand the enormous pop
ularity which the play won in New
York.
The part of the mysterious servant
the Christ like mystical influence
which brings happiness out of all the
trouble and heartache, is a unique
creation, made so through the ideal
acting OF Walter Hampden. In fact, no
one should miss seeing this wonderful
play. 1t has a lesson for each play
goer, no matter who he or she may be.
The impression it has been making
on Its audiences at the Van Ness the
ater during the last week is so great
as to be only, realizable by those who
witness the piece and feel the wonder
ful effect of the story and situations.

tional footlight offering all the way
from coast to coast. In absolute worth
and interest no drama seen here this

others make life really worth while.
Keep your nose on the grindstone too
steadily and you win lose more than
a part of your face you will lose every
faculty except the one you are using.
Unused powers soon pass from our pos
session. One measure of any li1e is
the number of interests, sympathies,
faculties it is developing.
The useful life must have one lead
ing interest, but if that interest be-
comes exclusive the life Is useless.
When acquisitiyeness excludes honor, or
generosity; when the appetites of the
body shut out the pleasures of the In
tellect; when passion for material
things kills off capacity to know and en-
joy the ideal, human life ceases, the
man becomes a machine, a contrivance
for doing one thing only.
That is the death we need to dread,
the death that shuts us out from this
fair world and from the full joys of
living. When we cease to feel our
brothers need when we find nothing
in us that smiles back to child's
smile, when heroism and altruism
make no appeal and stir no response
we have entered the ranks of the dead.
For our own sakes we need to keep
alive our sense of regard for others
Selfishness is the saddest form of sui
eide; it Stays the soul and leaves the
empty, cherries, despoiled house of the
body to go on with the mummery of
living. We need to keep our hearts
tender. The poverty, the need, the bit
ter cry of the destitute may be our real
salvation.
Sometimes we talk as though all
LIES purposes are defeated when busl-
ness goes wrong But even in the dark
est days. though they should lead us
to penury, the life may still go or
growing, may find its brightness and
joy in human kindness, In cheering and
helping Others, In opening the doors Of
our hearts as wide as we can.
Most of all, we need to strive and
pray to be delivered from hardness of
heart, from the creeping paralysis of
selfish absorption, from the life of lust
that Is but death, death to human feel
ing, to truth and ideals, to joy and
light, to the spirit of love and life that
fills the universe.
