In "THE CRISIS"
Avenue Theatre Company
Presents ChurChiII'S War
Time Story

There is no type of drama more
popular than that based on war times.
This is due to the fact that there ia
opportunity for plenty OF action.
When a play of this kind is well
acted II Is more acceptable than ever.
The Crisis" which opened at the
Avenue Theatre last night. has ali
OF these essentials The dramatiza-
ton Of the celebrated novel of Wins
ton Churchill was witnessed by a
large audience; and the assem-
blage was as enthusiastic AS It was
large. Every play that the Avenue
Stock Company produces Is meritori-
Gus, and the bill this week is notably
so.
The story of "The Crisis" is we'll
and favorably known The book has
been read by all lovers of literature,
and the play has been seen through
out the country by fully as many peo.
pie. The drama follows the text OF
the novel very closely There are
stirring situations without number.
Although sectional lines are drawn
sharply, there runs feeling OF
friendship and love throughout the
play that is altogether natural This
serves TO temper the bitter feeling
between partisans of the North and
South Evidence to this effect Is Civ

Miss Ailleen May. the leading wo-

heroine, was true TO life. Her dia-

The Alert. Man.

"Calmness is fine trait" said Mr..
Blif1y, but does it always get there!
You take the case of two men stand
ing up in car holding on to straps,
both the same age. but one Of them
quiet and the other quick. and now let
the man they are standing in front Of
get up to leave the car at u station.
and suppose these two men are both
at exactly the same distance from the
seat. each with the same chance as the
other for selling it, which would get
that seat? Would it be the calm. cool
man who moved deliberately and al
ways with some thought for others, or
would it be the ever alert man, quick
to move and always on the lookout,
not caring continental for what any
body thinks and always ready to jump
in any seat be can nab? Why. while
the calm man is thinking it over about
what be shall do and beginning to turn
that way the alert man is in the seat.
l certainly do admire the calm, tran
quill man and his good manners, but it
is the man ever on the alert that gets
the seat in the Garland other things"
