THEY WERE ALL THERE
The Time The Place And The GirI-A
Bunch OF Them-GOod Show Al
The Colonial Theatre

Somebody has said "It's seldom. If
ever, you find them together the
time, the place and the girl" bat
last night il was a happy comhins-
tion. You found them several times
in punches at the Colonial Theatre.
The show was an excellent one and
deserved a much better house. Per-
haps the audience was small because
Of a rainy night. or because the same
production has been seen here on va
rious occasions previously; but last
nights company was the hest that has
ever appeared in The Time, The
Place and The Girl" at the Colonial
Theatre. II was q Western aggrega-
tion, and what Is known as the West
ern Company They put the bill
through with dash and a swing that
had ginger and snap to it, charac-
teristic of that section of the country
their company comes from.
The only slow man in the cast was
Pedro, the organ grinder. and he was
from Italy and that accounts for it,
besides he fully CARED out the idea
conveyed in his part Of the cast. As
a sweet singer. Mrs. Talcott, "the
widow" has few equals. She's a
bird and her voice is as sweet and
mellow as that of the sweetest songs
ter. Besides, she can dance some,
and her song land dance) in Dixie, |
Love You" made a great hit.
Molly Kelly, the nurse at the
sanitarium auarantined for smallpox,
was capably cast. and Margaret
Simpson. The Girl. =" was so sweet
and dainty she captivated the hearts
of all present This role was in the
capable hands Of Miss Jessie Webster,
and she left nothing to be desired.
Miss Webster sings beautifully. Her
voice is not loud, or strong, but it
is sweet and musical, expressive and
vibrant and shows culture and colora-
ture that stamps the trained voice.
Her song Pm Lonesome Tonight,
was "a gem of sweetness and express
sion. aud her duet with Johnny Hicks,
Don't You Tell" was very fetch
ing.
Happy, Jovial, Jolly Johny Hicks,
with his slang and gambling house
vernacular was a whole show in
himself Mr.. Thomas Cameron was
most acceptably cast in this role, and
it would have taken the swiftest ste
nographer to have "taken" the funny
things he said.
Mr.. Walter B. Smith, as Jasper
Simpson, the rich down-East farmer,
grasping q quarter so tightly he
made the eagle scream, pulled the
comedy part in spendid double harness
with johnny Hicks. All the charac-
ters were well taken and especially
worthy was Mr. Donald Mackenzie,
as TON Cunningham, Johnny's
Pal While a little STACEY. tom"
delivered the goods in good shape.
The chorus was young, pretty
shapely and sang well. The scenes
were well laid and one of them was
quite spectacular The show was all
that could be desired.

What were the faults of the books for

the eighteenth century? Lady Tenant,
who is an authority on the subject says
that they were their intention of in

for the modern books for young readers.

is very delicate in children. she thinks,
and this sense may, with little pains, be
cultivated. This is an additional reason
she adds apart from deeper motives for
reading the Old Testament aloud:
There is the instance of child of five

brethren. Some days after he was telling

children should keep this before them.
Their pictures should be lovely and the
trend OF their words true. for it is great
possession setting out on life's journey
If we have knowledge of the beautiful in
our pack. We have seen the old
fashioned books for children to be acrd
and censorious and have admitted that
the modern books for children are inclined
to be oversWeet in sentiment and to have
tendency toward teaching self-conscious-
ness and vanity But midway between
these two extremes, unaSSaIlable by time
and incorruptible by any passing school of
thought or vagary of education, stand the
old books think they warm the very
room about one-they are so dignined, so
satisfying
Let the children have the old books read
TO them. There will come days when they
will prefer TO read an excellent modern de-
tective story, or to buy magazine We
must remind ourselves that possibly they
would be prigs II they did otherwise; nor
should we. ] think. on any account check
