Are o selfish? Do you want to be
cured?
If SO. THE EVENING STAR win
help to reform you and shame you

Here is the scheme:
"a Message From Mars will be pre-
sented at .Blaney,s Theatre all OF next
week A more powerful sermon against
selfishness was never preached from
any pulpit. We believe that any selfish
man. or woman who will go and see
this play will nave at least some of
the tselishness eliminated.
We ere so impressed with this that
we have bought 80 tickets for eacb per-
formsnce Of this play and to the first
fifty selfish people, men Or women, who
will come to THE EVENING STAR
each day and say to uss az am selfish,
and really want to REFORM" we Will
give free these tickets.
This is to be THE STARS missionary
work against s~elfishness next week.
Richard Ganthony's comedy, "a Mes
sag from Mars" Is based Upon selfish
ness. The hero of the play Is the most
selfish man on earth. A messenger
from the planet of Mars is SEM to
earth for the purpose of reforming
this particular man, who Is the abso-
lutte embodiment of ~sel1shness, not of
the. mild type, but cursed with that of
the cankering, blighting sort, h kin
that eats into ones heart and brain
nntil everything good and ~elevating is
destroyed.
Selfish Persons Everywhere.
There are selfish men and women in
every community. No woman wan
to marry a selfish man. 1t is true they
oftentimes do and no doubt they are
sorry for It. Selfishness is q trait in
the character of men and women that
is generally hidden during courtship.
Selfshness has wrecked thousands Of
homes. 1t Is the embodiment of many
evils. Peaceful domesticity Is usually
an unknown quantity where sel1shness
reigns. Some selfish people have been
reformed. They have been made to
see and realize that others are entitled
to thoughtful consideration. Thousands
Upon thousands Of women have been
heard to remark, after seeing the play:
isn't that Just like a man"
The selfish man., as depicted by the
author, Is In time reformed, but the
Marian Is forced to resort to heroic
measures. He is too intensely selfish
to be thoughtful and polite even to his
sweetheart.
iii with a History.
"a Message From Mars" is not with
out a history. For three ear 1t re-
manned continuously at one theatre in
London. In New York 1t a an un-
interrupted run of two years at the
Garrick Theatre. 1t has had similar
receptions in all of the larger cities of
the East.
