AMERICAN THEATER.

The offering of the Holden Com
pany at the American this week is a
dramatization of Robert Louis Stew
enson's strange story of DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde. Mr.. Theodore Lorch
has been featured in this dual role
for a number of years before becom-
ing a member of the Holden Com
pany, and his vivid portrayal of the
parts has caused many competent
critics to pronounce him worthy
successor of the late Richard Mans
field. The nature of the play puts
nearly all the work upon Mr.. Lorch,
the minor characters having little to
do. However, the central figure is so
engrossing that this popularity does
not detract from the play.
Matinees, all seats are ten and
twenty cents; evenings, the prices are
ten, twenty and thirty cents.

SPARE THE TIME TO LAUGH
Even In Depressing circumstances q
10 Mans Duty to Strive to Be
Cheerful.

1t Is the duty of mankind, even in
depressing circumstances, to strive
to be cheerful. 1t is the general be-
lief that If a man is not naturally
light-hearted, he cannot make him
self so.
Yet this Is far from being the case,
and there is many man who Is at
present weary burden to his rela-
tives, miserable through the carking
care of some bodily ailment perhaps,
or some worldly misfortune, who, IL
he had grown up with the idea that to
be cheerful in all circumstances was
one Of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
round him.
The worries of morose person will
shorten his days, and the general JUS
tice OF natures arrangements pro-
vides that his early departure should
entail no long regrets.
On the other hand, the man who
can laugh keeps his health. To the
perfectly healthy laughter comes Of
ten. Too commonly, though, as child
hood is left behind, the habit fails, and
a half smile Is the most that visits the
thought-lined mouth Of modern man
or woman. People become more and
more burdened with the accumulation
OF knowledge and with the weighty re-
sponsibilities OF life, but they should
still spare time to laugh.

The fact that Prohibition was vot-
ed down at the recent Los Angeles
election, where the new women voters
took things in hand, has raised hot
discussion as to whether woman suf

as a result of this discussion a move
ment is on foot in California now to
repeal the newly adopted woman suf-
