What Wearisd film.

A friend once asked an aged man what caused him to complain so often at eventide of pain and weariness "Alas." replied he, II have every day 50 much to do. have two falcons to tame, two hares to keep from running away, two hawks to manage, ser pent to conflne lion to chain and 6 sick man to tend and wait upon."
 "Well, we'll" commented his friend. "you are busy indeed! But didn't know that you had anything to do with a menagerie. How, then, do you make that out?'
 "Why," continued the old man, His ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which I must guard diligently; the two hares are my feet, which 1 must keep from walking in the ways of sin; the two hawks are my hands, which l must train to work, that l may provide for myself and those dependent on me as we'll as for needy friend occasionally; the serpent is my tongue, which must keep ever bridled lest it speak un' seemly; the lion is my heart, with which I have a continual fight lest evil things come out of 1t, and the sick man is my whole body, which Is al. ways needing my watchfulness and care. All this daily wears out my strength"

@MY GyNRERTf., GIRL"

The battle cry of the Nationa
 game-@Play Ball' as interpreted by William Norris, Captain of the Sl- wash College baseball Nine, ill My Cinderella Girl appears to have a soothing effect on all lovers of good clean comedy, and the fact has been proven that when managers are found who will present really meritorious and palatable desert in the form of a bright unctious, and tuneful musical comedy, the public, as a rule, is always ready to show it's appreciation, and respond with it's good hard cash. Such has been the experience of A. G. Delamater, manager, and promoter of My Cin- derella Girl" which comes to Elks Theater Friday Dec. 2. In casting about for vehicle, for the origina- tive powers of his clever star, Will jam, Norris, has at last succeeded in finding something out of the ordinary. A real up to the minute College farce, satirizing college life of the present day Adding num-
 der of pretty and vivacious girls
 with voices of remarkable slngnlS quality, and a number of "catchy
 songs, by William Frederick Peters. The Popularity of the combined efforts was such that the capacity of the Whitney Opera House, Chicago, was tested to it's utmost for the twenty eight weeks of it's run i'll that city. and the Sold Out" sign was in evidence on many occasions.

"THE SPENDTHRIFT" TONIGHT

The most emphatic success of the past season in New York was Por- ter Emerson Browne's new play. "The Spendthrift," which Frederic Thompson will present here at the Elks Theater tonight.
 "The spendthrift" in it's concept ion and execution is entirely diff ferent from "A Fool There Was. which play first brought PorE"a Emerson Browne into prominence a playwright It deals with the frivolous extravaganza of a luxury loving wife, and the financial ruin achieved by the husband in his eff forts to gratify her extravagant whims. When he realizes the dire ful pass to which their mode of life has brought them, he demands of his wife the sacrifices that are necessary preparing, at the same time, to make them himself. The wife's life has been too easy-she has not sufficient stamina to face comparative poverty and with the idea of relieving their monetary distress she bor- rows a large sum from man friend. This action hastens the inevitable climax which is in turn followed by an entire readjustmen' of the family relations, producing a condition more nearly approximat- ing happiness than any that has heretofore obtained in the house. hold.
 The play Is in four acts, the firs' three showing the lavishly furnished and tastefully decorated interiors o1 a well-to-do New York brokers home, the last an attic room in lower East Side tenement house The company was especially engaged by MT. Thompson, for the present tour, with a view to the particular

Remarkable and Enjoyable Recital.

Remarkable and Enjoyable Recital.
 The Temple last night was the scene of brilliant recital rendered nv Mrs. Fife Cline Tones, the talent ed soprano Of Little Rock. By her self without any relief through any other voice or through instrumental numbers, except for the piano accom- paniment by Mrs. Eva Ware Barnett of Little Rock, she rendered the en- fir. program, knowing both the music and words of tho seventeen pieces scheduled, by heart.
 Mrs. Fones hos very pleasing per sonality. She is attractive in ap- pearance and has a good deal of tenn perament Her lower notes are espe cially melodious and she is at her best when she touches lightly upon the vocal keys, so to speak, in the thrill. In this class may be group ed five songs which she rendered last night, Gounod's Jewel song, Stanage's "Damon,' Cham; nade's Summer" Beachs My Sweetheart and I,'' and Del 'Acqua's ''villanelle, In the last named especially the play ful and tantalizing way in which she skipped from syllable to syllable and did vocal aerobatics with her voice, as it were, she el; cited the admira- tion and applause of the large audi ence assembled. It was after this song that she was compelled to give Schubert's ''Serenade" as an encore.
 Among the other notable selections rendered may be mentioned Schu- bert's 'Who is Sylvia" which was exquisite and charming; Cowen's Love Was Once a Little Boy," which was cute and (ayful, and Birth day Song,' by the same composer, which was dashing and spirited. Still bolder in conception and finer in rendition especially from the point of view of attack, was Beach's "The Years at the Spring. and Chad wick's Sweetheart Thy Lips are Touched With Flame" the latter be- ing perhaps the most dramatic of the selections rendered. One ought not to leave out Godard's Lullaby" with out special mention. It was tender and appealing. And lastly the clos ing number Needham's "Maymaking" was wisely chosen as the finale, combining brilliancy and exceptional melody.
