Clerical RetOrt.

In a certain church it is the GUS
tom at the marriage for the clergy
man to kiss the bride after the cere-
mony. A young lady who was about
to be married in the church did not
relish the prospect and instructed her
prospective husband to tell the cler-
gyman that she did not wish him to
kiss her. The groom did as directed.
"Well, George" said the young
lady when he appeared, "did you tell
the clergyman I did not wish him to
kiss me?"
"Oh, yes"
"And what did he say?"
"He said that in that case he
would only charge half the usual
fee.'

around one to reveal the fact that two

oLcoTr OPENS GRAND.

Chauncey Olcott, just as youthful of
voice as of old. opened the 1910 sea-
SON of the Grand opera house, Daven-
port, last evening, with his new Irish
romance, Barry of Ballymore," play
written Of the times of 1889 by Rida
johnson Young. 1t has been several
years since Olcott paid a visit to the
tri-cities, where he has a large follow
ing of admirers, as was evidenced by
the warmth of the reception that he
received last evening. The house was
filed. and so well did the audience like
Mr.. Olcott, and his singing, and his
play, that he was obliged to give a
curtain speech, in which he promised
that he would not remain away lrom
such a warm spot so long again. Mr..
Olcott's new play doubtless will prove
the most successful vehicle of his ca
reer. 1t relates the rise of the son of
a peasant family through the influence
Of a good mother; Of his attainment
of wealth and fame as an artist in
Paris; his return to his native heath,
where he purchases the castle OF the
naughty and now impoverished Lord
Bannons, for whom his father had
served as grounds keeper. OF course
there is dove story-an Olcott play
without a love story would be like

Olcott wins the girl after he woos her
and sings to her as only Olcottt can.
The girl is Lady Mary, the daughter
OF Lord Bannon, and Thomas Barry,
Olcott's role, has his first meeting with
her when she visits the castle to pay
her last farewell to. the home scenes
OF her childhood. There is a vein rum
ming through the story that plays on
the heart-strings, and what might be
lacking in this essential is supplied by
the songs Of Olcott. These are y Love

the Sunshine of Your Love-" and
Mother Machree,' each one Of which
was feelingly rendered and was best
understood by those familiar with
Irish folklore. Mr.. Olcott, as usual,
has a splendid supporting company,
Miss Edith Browning, as Lady Mary
Bannon, sharing the stellar honors.
