"LiOn and the Mousse"

sThe Lion and the Mouse, the play that has enjoyed over three years of almost unbroken duration as su- preme success, will be seen at the Elks Theatre, Friday, March }, by Henry B. Harris. While this great drama may have been seen and en- joyed by many local playhouse pat rons it is fair to assume that they will follow the example set through out the country in their desire to witness the dealings and misdoings of John Burkett Ryder, afresh. Char les Klein has filled this play with such rapid action and bright material for serious thought that one falls to realize the full meaning of the author 4n seeing '"The Lion and the Mouse' but once. A company of players of whom 1t Is said surpass any yetsseen in this play. will enact the n1anys diff flcult roles.

To this line of req Honing, Mir. Mann replies:
 Granted that actors, after witness ing q performance, go out and roast what they have seen. What differ ence can it possibly make? How is the success of play aided or impair ei by professional roasting? Why, Te actors are a very small part of the world and all of us together could not keep a play alive a week, if we paid our way in. We live among ourselves, for the greater part; our horizon is bounded by the theatre and newspapers. No news- paper would give us it's columns for gratuitous roast of performance, and there is none save professionals to listen to us if We roast our bro- ther-professionals So. why bother about such things? Some of the best criticism l have had has come from actors who, having seen my perform ance' and praised it to my face, have afterward found fault with me, in the belief that the fault-finding would not reach my ears. This professional criticism has in times gone by done me world of good, and 1 should like to get more of it."
