listen there is also obligation
to decide. Informal yet definite

said Mr.. Edourd D'Oize, in a recent in
terview, "and it causes me bit Of won
derment and no little amusement, to
hear many OF the pronunciations givenit
The name is so many generations older
than myself that it's euphony is naturally
as 'trippingiy on the tongue to me, and
mine, as the name OF Washington or
jefferson"
The interviewer ventured to gain light
on the subject: Il have heard it spoken
in hall dozen different ways-'D'Oyse,'

John Griffith's "Faust." "

Mr.. John Griffith who has been
pronounced "the greatest living Me-
phisto," well sustained this high dis
tinction in his mastery interpreta-
ton of that weird character in
Goethe's masterpiece, Faust" at
the Grand Theatre Monday night.
Mr.. Griffith had been seen here be-
fore in the role of Shakespeare's
tragedy OF Richard Ill, and the fine
impression he had previously made
was strengthened on this occasion.
"Of powerful physique and stentori-
an voice in his portrayal of this
character he imparts to the strong
scenes an effectiveness that could not
be reached by an actor less literally
endowed in this respect. In the light
er scenes, Mr.. Griffith's mastery of
his art enables him to give a most
pleasing flavor Of light comedy to the
cynical speeches of the arch fend."

handled her role in an artistic man.

to the part. Mr.. Charles Bunnell
essayed the character OF Faust and
Mr. Eugene Dautl was the Valentine
of the cast. Miss Harriet Neville
amused the audience in the character
of Martha, her appearance on the
stage always provoking laughter
and applause.
The Brocken scene was a rather
tame affair without the rain Of fire
and usual electrical effects. The alb
sence of this was explained to be due
to the strict fire laws in some States
which necessitate cutting out most

May Put Out a Show of His cwn.

When the Robinson Show exhibited
in Raleigh the Evening Times said
this of the performances Of the Cas-
tello Family of Henderson:
"Of particular interest, besides abil-
ity, to North Carolinians, was the

they are known in the circus world,

when Robinson's goes into winter
quarters he expects toput out a show
Of his own and travel North Carolina

by the character of the feats per-
formed by this family he will make a

Our contemporary is slightly in
error in the above. Mr.. D. c. LOugh-
lin takes no part in the performance,
riding or otherwise, except as ring
master during the riding acts of Mrs.

"A Fool and His Money"

This play pronounced George II.
BrOadhurst's latest and most sue
cessiul comedy, was presented to q
small audience at the Grand Theatre
Wednesday night OF last week. The
company is not a strong one, al
though there is some very clever tai
ent in the cast. But the play itslf
itself is all right, and when Mana
ger A. ". Crosss company get their
work down fine and each part is
brought up to the standard OF op-
pOrtunity "A Fool and His Money"
will make good with the best offer
ings OF it's kind. The moral is excel
lent and teaches a fine lesson. The
"Foof' may be either the father, a
seif-made man who has acquired
riches. or the son who has been
spoiled in the making by an over in
dulgent and sadly mistaken parent.
Both play the fool, however, until a
halt is called on the wild escapades
the young man as gambler and high
roller. Father and son quarrel and
the son leaves home determined to
go out into the world alone and
become a man. His fair weather
friends who had leeched him turn
their backs on him when they dis
cover that he is penniless. A poor
young artist whom he had befriended
remains true and shares his humble
lodgings and scant purse with his
benefactor friend. Some ludicrous
and highly humorous scenes occur in
their experiences. The young man
makes a wonderful invention which
is sold to the father, who is a great
manufacturer, thus increasing his
wealth several times over. Proud OF
his son when he learns of his success,
the father takes him back, makes
him an equal partner in the concern
and his cole heir. Another friend
who had been loyal to the young
man throughout his trials and strug-
giles was the woman he loved. Their
marriage follows the reconciliation
of father and son and they receive a
fathers blessing. Fortune smiles on
the poor young artist, and he too
marries the girl he loves, from whom
he had been separated by poverty
Everything ends we'll and thay are
happy ever after.

Entertaining Lectures.

The lecture of Mr.. John Griffith in
the auditorium Of the Central Ora ded
School building Monday afternoon
was an intellectual treat. He talked
onShakespeare's q plays and characters

one can who has made deep study
of it and is thoroughly conversant
Herewith. Those who heard Mr.
Griffith felt themselves debtors to
him for the pleasant and profitable
half hour spent under the spell of his
ma iestic voice.

Edyth TOtten, Mr. Griffith's leading
woman who essayed the role of Mar

dressed the ladies on wOmen's club

those interested in such matters the

good oatmeal such as Quaker
Oats not only furnishes the best
food for the human being, but
eating it strengthens and en-
larges the thyroid gland-thik
gland is intimately connected
with the nourishing processes
of the body.
In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness of
the Northerners (meaning the
Scotch) has been in some
measure due to the stimulation
of the thyroid gland by oatmeal

The Scotch eat Quaker Oats
