Thinking at the Theater.
rom the Chicago Post

From the Chicago POST
How many people go to the theater TO
think OF TO be even ordinarily alert? The
actor, facing them, can tell you better
than one of the listeners. for he has a
chance to watch the barometer OF facial
expression. Yet from the front II is pos
sible to see that a great many either are
Incapable of keeping up with "rapid-fire
stuff'' or do not propose TO be forced into
it, as in boxing match. For them, the
obvious and the spectacular. with per-
haps. a little music that is easily assini-
lated.
The foregoing. ii can be seen, is not
meant to apply TO plays which need the
student as complement. Ii applies to
the lishtest entertainments with their
occasional smart spots. The comfortable
British merchant, made logy by full
dinner and an assault on port. goes to
the theater to pc mildly amused and
resents a dramatist's efforts to shake him
up. More's the pity. We have only too
many for whom fun or seriousness must
be palpable.

the sagacious horses picked the trail
out Of the blanket sof whiteness. The
snow had ceased falling, and the stars
were blazing out in the deep blue sky.
Suddenly in the distance there shone
two blurred red lights.

Mrs. Darling's house, was Nick's
reply.
The horses hoofs made no sound on
the packed snow, 50 that they rode mp
to the doorstep and dismonnted before
Nick knocked loudly.
There was a moments silence, and
then woman's voice spoke timidly:
.'Who is there?'' .
Santa Claus rumbled Nick in a
deep bass voice.
There followed a musical laugh, and
light feet tripped to the door and flung
it wide open.
"Come in. oh. Mr.. Bolton. how kind

It was not until they were within
the cheerful warmth Of the room that
Ua,ronrt drew breath after that first
glance at Mrs. Darling. Such a delec-

skin, ruddy brown hair, hazel eyes,
laughing lips and perfect figure he had
never seen.
She was so grateful for their thought

since the storm began, and she had
reconciled herself to q barren and lone

threw out her little hands. pretty In
splIe or the washing, and showed them
the broken toys she was trying to
mend 80 that the little stockings might
not be empty. Out in the snow she
had placed pans Of nut ta6y to cool.
But now she tossed aside the broken
