II Is almost too late that she is running
the happines of her self and the

One of the interesting roles in Mary
Mannering's new play is that of a
German violinist, a youth of simple
high ideals. who expresses himself in
broken English. The role is played by
Jchn Sainpolis, who headed his own
company for number of years on the
Pacific Coast. Miss Crothers, the
author of tho play, drew her ideal of
the character. II is said from the em-
inent violinist Miscela whom Mr..
Sainpols resembles.
