A TENDER HEARTED MAID

Once upon a time there lived a
child of gentle mien and man

so kind she wept to see a window

the window pain to leave it
standing in the rain. Her maid
en- aunIy she would beg not to
stone rai,ins, beat an egg or
from potatoes take the eyes. Oh,
how this maid did agonjzel And
when she saw her wliplin
cream, with sorrow she would
sob and scream. The very
thought IF killing time appeared
to her dreadful crime, and
though to music inclined, to
beat measure seemed uukind.

LITTLE BOY TOM.

The road to Little Boy Town was
road | used to know,
And twas lined with dainty treas
ures in the distant Long Ago.
Every bypath fairly glistened with
delights that caught the eye;
Every day fresh charms and riches
on the way | would espy.
The read to Little Boy Town is a
road no grownups tread,
'Tis reserved for Eyes-of-Laughter
and for Tiny-Touslehead;
There iy only youth and beauty to
be seen along the way,
For gray hairs and wrinkled faces
to its borders never stray.
Take me with you, Little Fellow;
clasp me with your tiny hand;
Lead me toward the sunny borders
Of that blossom-spangled land!
Let me hear again the stories which
they're telling there to you;
Let me play the games you're play
ing underneath the skies of blue;
Let NE sing the songs which echo
through its shining valleys fair;
Let me sleep the sleep of childhood
with the Sand Man over there;
Let me feel again the pressure Of
mothers face to mine,
As she rocks me off to Dreamland
to a lullaby divine
Ho, the road to Little Boy Town!
Never was road so sweet!
Smooth and shining, cool and
shady, made for rosy little feet!
Oh, it leads where flamin" forests
spill their flashing tints of red.
And its lined with clover blossoms,
while the birds sing overhead.
Only dimpled tots may travel down
each nook ard fairy dell;
AT the end, wee little toddlers,
gems of sunny childhood, dwell,
The road to Little Boy Town! You
and l have walked it, too,
And it still filings back the pleas
ures and charms which once
we knew.

While progress toots her brassy

And makes her motor buzz,

Nor cranks experiment,
It's lovely, free and big
And it isn't worth a cent.

Before they foul that blessed

To crowd and pinch another

Is all their hearts desire.

CHANGE IN COLUMBIA
PRICES is POPULAR

The recent change effected by the
management of the Columbia theater
in the prices of seats at the fashion
able playhouse has had an immediate
effect The reduction in the price has
met with instant approval by a large
portion Of the city's play goers. A de-
cided gain in the box Office demand and
the appearance of hundreds who here
tofore have confined their play going to
the popular price houses are two no
table results of the innovation.
The best evidence" says Melville
Marx OF the management Of the Colum-
bia, of the appearance at our theater
OF new clientele is found in the innu-
merable questions that are being asked
Of the box office employees. These
questions concern location of seats,
time Of opening the doors, afternoons
when regular matinees are given and
other queries which could only be pro-
pounded by those who have been till
now strangers at our theater"
The new arrangement seems to have
become as instantly popular with the
public as gratifying TO. the manage

MISERY CHASTENS
The SPENDTHRIFT
Heroine in Brownies Drama
Goes Through Misiortune's
Deeps to Happiness

The second week of Porter Emerson
Brownies splendid play with a purpose,
The spendthrift' begins tomorrow
night at the Columbia theater The
play and the players have made an in
slant hit; the play because of its in
herent humor. pathos and truth, and
the players because of their uniformly
excellent acting.
Indeed. there has seldom been seen
here company more evenly balanced
than is the one which unfolds the
tragic and yet homely story of the
spendthIift wife, who had to go
through the deeps OF misfortune before
she awoke to the realization of her re-
sponsibilities and to a Willingness to
assume her share in the work as we'll
as the happiness of the world.
Underlying the more poignant story
of the domestic infelicities of the
Wards is a substory of romance and
youthful charm. 1t is nicely woven
into the web of the play and supplies
that light contrast which adds diver
sity to the production
Doris Mitchell as Frances Ward has
many opportunities and accepts them
all. She has become favorite here.
Lionel Adams is Richard Ward, the
husband whose earning capacity is
taxed to supply the coin his wife re-
quires. He plays the part with rare
understanding. Forrest E. Orr and
Clarice Vivian Martin supply the light
in splendid sympathy with their tasks,
and the rest of the support is of
Thompson's best. The production is
scenically perfect

Heading the list is "The Police In

An interesting and thrilling narrative
is told in the sketch of modern police
methods. Much has been said and
written of 1.-The third degree" which
has been made out TO be only slightly
less brutal than the Spanish inauisi-
ton. The third degree" as shown in

battle of wits than bit of persecu-

HARTMAN PLAYS
ABUSED HUSBAND
Comedian and Merry Company
Return to Princess in
"Mary's Lamb"

Beginning with the matinee today
the Princess theater comes into its own.
for Ferris Hartman and his merry band
of funsters are back again to create
merriment in Ellis street. The favorite
comedians recent engagement at the
Princess broke records. and. judging
by the interest already evineed In the
return season. he will easily repeat and
perhaps excel the success achieved by
him in the last seven weeks run.
"Mary's Lamb is the vehicle selected
TO start the season. This piece was the
last vehicle of its author comedian,
Richard Carrie and was used by him on
his transcontinental tour
1t was only by offering extraordi-
nary inducements that Ferris Hartman
was enabled to secure ''Mary's Lamb"
for production, and this will mark it's
first presentation in stock and at popu-
lar prices. The Hartman production,
it is promised, will in every way equal
that of the original. The scenery, cos
tunes and effects will be elaborate and
the characters will be in congenial
hands.
'Mary's Lamb is whimsical hodge
podge of merriment with a distinctive
ness all its own. The lines are bright
and the plot is amusing. The situations
are conceived in farcically funny fash
ion. The lyrics and music are Carle's
own, and there are all manner of song
hits of the catchy variety in the show.
The plot has to do with the adven-
lures of Leander Lamb, the real, simon
pure henpecked husband, whose wife
has dominated him for years on account
of his amiable disposition.
Ferris Hartman himself will, of
course. be Lamb, and 1t is a part that
fits him to perfection. The idyosincra-
cies of the character will be grasped
in excellent style by him, and one of
the funniest characterizations of his
career may be expected. Some of the
Hartman topical hits will be heard, ans
"A Lemon in the Garden of Love"
should be a scream handled by him.
Myrtle Dingwall, the dainty prima
donna, will be welcomed back in the
role of Phyliss, and her delightfully."-
limpid soprano will be heard to ad-
vantage in the music of the piece and
two interpolated numbers, Cupid and
T. and Summer"
The popular pair, Walter de Leon and
."Muggins' Davies, will be Alan Town
send, artist. and Mercedes the maid, re-
spectively. The parts fit them well.
The actress will be in the capable
hands of Josie Hart, and Marta Golden
is to be the henpecked Lambs twife.
Robert Leonard. Joseph Fogarty, Oliver
lie Noir and the other favorites will be
happily bestowed.
