who happened to be in the house, assisted
in carrying his father indoors. Physicians

married and made his home.
He sold his business in Cinnaminson
and went to Atlantic City in 1890, his son,

typical gentleman of the old school,
scrupulously courteous in his relations
with his fellow men at all times, and
possessing the respect of all who knew
him and the affection of those who knew
well.

would be better to divide them into two
groups, one for the older and one for the
younger fellows, the dividing age being
about fourteen years. The younger boys
will have officers, and attend to their bus
mess entirely distinct from the older fell
lows, but their business will be subject to
the approval of the latter. Two leaders
will have charge of each group.
The boys are endeavoring to have their
room fixed up for playing basket ball.

ing it was water. There was flash and

while Abbott Immediately wrapped her in

CHrsrrur STREET THEArRE.


Merely Mary Ann," Israel Zangwills
famous comedy drama, In which Eleanor
Robson starred for three seasons, is at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia.
Not only will the Orpheum Players have
the distinction of being the first resident
company to appear in this beautiful play,
but, through successful negotiations with
Liebler & Co., by Manager Laferty, they
will be able to present the original pro-
duction in its entirety. This means that
the complete equipment of the play as
seen at the Garrick a couple of seasons
ago will be reproduced In its complete
state. MERELY Mary Ann" is the hest
dramatic work of Zangwill, who is to-day
one of England's shining literary lights.
1t is delightful comedy, full of English
humor, spiced with catching American
isms, learned from us by the author when
he first visited this country. There is
marked originality in Mr.. Zangwill's COM
edy. quaint ideas and odd surprises con-
front us at every turn, and the dialogue
Is always interesting and witty. Merely
Mary Ann" is a new version of "Cinder-
ella" in a modern setting. A more simple
tale than the love experiences of Mary
Ann and the poor composer, Lancelot. her
hero, could scarcely beimagined. Marion
Barney will play Mary Ann" and Will
lam Ingersoll will be seen as ''Lancelot. "
