week at the Burbank with two packed
houses yesterday. This is the third
play in succession to run extra time
at Oliver Morosco's playhouse and
since the first of the year there have
been less than half a dozen plays
which have remained one week only.
This will be the final appearance of
the Salvation Army drama, however,
for "Strongheart" has been in rehear-
sal for three weeks and it has been
decided that it will be staged next
week, no matter how big the demand
for salvation Nell" continues. The
cast remains the same, with the eX

the Burbank to take an extended and
well earned rest. She is replaced by
Florence Oberle. Myrtle Vane in

sincere. On this it differs from the
average drama of affairs and politics,
in which either the rich man or the
reformer is selected as the type Of
the evil influence and whatever the
other does is pictured as being just
about right. In 1.-The Battle" the play
wright has simply given a picture of
two strong forces clashing and left
the spectator to judge for himself
which has the true attitude toward
life.

beamed throughout the morning continued
to brighten the afternoon and many were

seen hurrying, some in one direction and
some in another all to the pretty affairs
that had IS their central suggestion the

scheme is used every year with charm

which to draw for the quaintest and
brightest of decorative motives. Yester-
day afternoon at a number of homes colo
NAL teas were given for church benefits
a pretty Lenten custom followed every
year by many interested in charity works.
Little parties motored down during the
afternoon to the Gold Lion tea room,
where a washington tea was held for the
benefit of the Public library-and 1t gave
genuine pleasure to all who fostered this
philanthropic plan of Mrs. Stephens, the
proprietor of the tea room TO note its

There were several private parties as

appropriately quiet and characterized by
a simplicity due to the Lenten season.
Mrs. Henry Hiden, Jr. was pretty hos
