While THE Red Canary" as a play is
not as unusual or sensational in its
characteristics as a red canary would
be, its music has a charm and sweet
ness that fully warrant the producers
in borrowing the title from the Gagged
songbird! And its spright1iness rivals
the neyer-ceasing movements of the
canary on its perches. There ts added
a goodly supply of humor. which prob
ably accounts for the "red" in THE

as they left the playhouse. Its first sing

was greeted with storm of applause
that called for several encores, and the
strains Were again applauded as they

Academy.
''The Divorce Question" was threshed
out at length at the Academy last even
ing. Arguments pro and con were ex-
pressed and examples brought forward
to emphasize them. The play does not
attempt to say that divorce under Ger
tain conditions might not be justiaable,
but that divorce in general is harmful.
After presenting arguments on both
sides OF the question for nearly the en-
tire first act the play gives considerable
opportunity for emotional acting.
A mother and father have been divorced
and then remarked. Their two children,
whom they have given into the charge
OF relatives, are brought before them
Through negligence the children got away
from their foster parents and In q fight
against the world were badly beaten.
They fall under the helping hand of q
priest, but too late to do much good.
The parents then see the mistake they
have made. but they. too, are too late.
The play is one Of strong emotions but
the effort to impress the arguments is
sometimes so earnest as to seem rather
i'll advised.
Louis Hollinger as Rev William Je-
rome, the priest, enacts the role with
vigor and sincerity. Charles C. Burnham.
as Patrick Sicily, presents an excellent
piece of character acting. Jeanette 'Lu-
is also very good. Douglas Lawrence, as
Dopie Doe. the other missing child, gives
an interesting though exaggerated inn
personation. Thomas L. Wolfe. as the ia
Their, and Beth Hamilton, as the mother,
meet the requirements Of their roles.

@The phenomenon Of conversion, :"
said the evangelist to the psycholo-
gist. may be, as you say, the culmin-
alton of a series Of obscure mental i'm
pressions, but the condition itself is
the result Of a moment. Something
which was not in the sinners heart
enters there and drives out something
that was there before.
Il knew a man--never mind who or
what he was. He was uneducated, the
sort Of average American countrymaE
who is the staple human product Of
this nation. With good fortune he
might have become anything With
bad fortune he might have sunk to
any depth. His will was weak, his
senses stronger than his oharactsr. AT
the age of thirty he was a tramp,
plodding along couRtry road in Car

his self-respect gone. he would have
run from a barking dog or oringed SoI

And then the moment came y

were aglow with peach blossoms. Az

ing on the other side Of the fence,
her arms full of spraying boughs. She
was about sixteen, beautiful, innocent,
and good. A simple-hearted country
girl, in short, born into Just such cir
icumstances as himself.
THE sight of her brought back
memories that had been submerged
for years. The ragged, outcast man
felt an intense yearning for human
sympathy, for friendship. He stopped
and spoke to her, and she was the first
human being who had treated him as
lan equal in nearly year.
''He learned something of her cir
Icumstances. Her parents had been
compelled to mortgage their farm;
they were heavily in debt; they feared
the loss of their home. And she-heI

The ragged man could see that this
was the type Of girl whom education

these words. But he learned her

thanked her for a drink of water that
she gave him, and, as he heard her
mothers harsh call from the house,
went on his way,
AT that moment he was converted.
He lost his desire for vileness. He
resolved that, since his own life had
been spoiled in the sight of his maker
he would give him that of another.
