organized for business purposes

What Is A Gentleman!

Too frequently a man wearing
good clothes and spending money
freely is called a gentleman,
when as matter of fact he is no
such thing. Even satan has been
called a gentleman because of
his suavity of speech and engag-
ing manners. There isn't a vii
liam on the stage but is hand
some, well dressed and of charm
ing appearance. A stage william
that was not polised would be a
failure from the very start.
1t is not the clothes or the
sauvity or the education or
the birth that makes the
gentleman. There is many a

PUBLIC SPIRIT.

The character of any town is
determined by its permanent not
its transient citizens. Most of
the people living in this town
either have lived or will live here
during a good part Of their lives.
These people are therefore large
ly answerable for the towns
past and its future. If they are
enterprislng and broad minded
the town as a political unite will
adopt an enterprising and broad
gagged policy. Making ones
home is not wholly comprised in
the building of a house on a lot
with a fence around it and a
walk in front. Of necessity
the influence within the home
are of paramount interest to the
head of a family. But the in
fluences outside of the home
the atmosphere of the commune
ty-is almost as important to the
individual home maker as is the
atmosphere of his freside.
No citizen can safely live for
himself alone. He is one of the
component parts of his commu-
nifty and-whether he be active
or passive che exerts a potent
influence in determining its char
acter. Knowing as everybody
does know, that early environ
ment leaves a permanent impress
upon the child it is difficult to
explain the difference of citizens
with respect to their part in
making the environment in which
they, their children and their
neighbors' children spend the
formative period of their lives.
Time out of mind everybody has
talked of the Importance of a
proper moral, mental and spiri-
tual atmosphere. But why not
give due consideration to the

wer-Lytton's Masterpiece.
Perhaps no role in Mr.. Mantelrs long
repertoire of plays gives him the chance
to display his wonderful versatility as
that of "Richelieu." Bulwer-Lytton's
masterpiece, admirably presented at the
| Belasco Theater last evening before a
large audience. Mr.. Mantell's interpre-
tation of the character of the great car
dinal is q finished artistic portrait, free
from the ranting and overactinS which
has marred the conception of so many
actors Suppression is the keynote Of
his whole performance, and he works up
to the larger climaxes with decisive
sureness which lends naturafness to his
more impassioned speeches. Throughout
he shows the humor and cunning of the
great statesman, but his moments or
pathos are perhaps his greatest. Taken
altogether, his Richelieu is a brilliant
piece of acting. which ranks with the
best. OF his support, Miss Marie Booth
Russell as Julie, Mr.. Alfred Hastings as
Joseph. and Mr.. Fritz Leiber as Adrian
We're especially well cast
In the afternoon the Mantell company
presented AS You Like It" one of the
Shakespearean comedies which will never
grow old. The performance was notable
chiefly through the fact that 1t marked
the initial appearance Of Miss Marie
Booth Russell in the role Of Rosalfnd- 1t
was easily the best performance of the
part of the capricious, self-willed heroine
that has been seer in this city for a long
time. and IL Miss Russell succeeds in i'm
proving on it in any great degree she
will surprise those who thoroughly en-
joyed her work yesterday.
1t was a pity that ManteIfs Orlando
was too old by some thirty years for
the younger brother, and the actor was
unable to hide mis- age to any great de
gree. One could not help but wish that
Fritz Leiber, cast as Jacques, had
changed places with the star for this
one performance. Others in the company
whose work was noticeable were ]. Saw
