SMILES and TEARS
MINGLE IN COMEDY

Did it ever occur to you that the
most successful comedy in the country
could also be the most prolific tear
producer on the American stage?
Whether it did not, Frederic Thomp-
sons Polly of the Circus in which
winsome little Miss Ida st. Leon is ap-
pearing, and which tonight starts its
second successful week at the Colum-
bia theater. has 1SS good laughs in it
laughs which sweep through the au-
dience like a summer breeze. 1t also
brings to every throat at least dozen
gulps and II times, forces tears to the
eyes of every man, woman and child
present
The other day newspaper stats
tician figured that at every perform
ance of Polly each person in the au-
dience sheds 10 tears, besides laughing
l3S times. That made 10000 tears
night or $4,000 tears week.
Laughter and tears are primitive
things and are close to one another. A
real humorist always has q well de-
fined streak of pathos in him-Eugene
Field, for instance Just so man in
whom the pathetic note is strong is
equipped with fine sense of humor.
Abraham Lincoln was striking ex-
ample of this. 1t is always easy TO
make people cry after you have made
them laugh, and it is equally easy to
restore smiles to their tear dimmed
eyes. Every really good comedy has

ST. Elmo Will Be
ALCAZAR REVIVAL
Charles E. Gunn and Elizabeth
Stewart to Be Featured in
the Exceptional Play

A revival of "St. Elmo" will be the
Alcazar's next attraction, commencing
tomorrow night. Charles E. Gum will
have the title part, in which he toured
the Pacific coast in a company di-
rected by Frederic Belasco. Eliza
beth Stewart is cast for the role of
Edna Earl. Most of the other charac-
ters will be impersonated by the peo-
pie who had them when the play
scored a three weeks run in the Sut-
ter street theater a twelvemonth ago.
'St. Elmo" is Willard Holcomb's
dramatization of Augusta ]. Evans
Wilson's novel. When it was first pre-
sented in the Academy Of Music, New
York. the metropolitan critics unani-
mously declared that nothing so thrill
ing had been staged there in many
years.
All the scenes are laid in Georgia,
and in the first act Edna Earl, grand
daughter of a blacksmith, accidentally
witnesses a duel in which Murray Ham
mOnd, a clergyman'S only son, is shot
ana killed by St Elmo Murray, a young
aristocrat. St Elmo had ample justi-
ficatiOn for the killing. but when Miss
Edna becomes the protege of his
mother he is regarded by her as
murderer whose wealth and social post
tiOn enabled him to escape Just punish
ment and for three acts thereafter
there is conflict between the pure
minded girl and the naughty plebean-
= contest which is complicated by their
mutual love. The mans proud spirit
eventually succumbs to sthe holy pas
sion inspired by the woman and their
union brings the narrative to happy,
IL unlocked for, conclusion.

Sunset City Concern Wants Liz
cense to Operate Steam Boiler

1t was reported Thursday night at
the meeting of the Antf-Japanese
league that the proprietors of the Sun
set City japanese laundry were to re-
vive a mandamus suit instituted and
apparently abandoned several months
ago. through which they are endeavor-
ing to force the board Of supervisors
to grant them a permit to operate
steam boiler on their premises at
Twenty third street and San Jose ave-
nue..
This permit has been denied several
times as the laundry is located in a
strictly residential district and the
residents and property owners in the
neighborhood have stood as a unit in
opposition.
The Japanese have operated the
boiler in violation of law and have
been fined twice in the police courts
for so doing. Both cases were ap-
pealed and both decisions were sus-.
tanned in the higher courts. The league
is watching with interest the outcome
Of the present litigation.
