Saturday. This distinguished charact-
er actor is credited with having scored
one of the most decided successes of
his notable career. Louis Mann's
popularity as an actor does not con-
sist solely in his power TO make an
audience laugh. He has the rare gift
of being able to mingle tears with
merriment. one moment convulsing e
his audience with laughter and the
next by a marvellous transition OF
voice and facial expression, bringing
the heart into the throat No play
that he has had in recent years has
afforded his such splendid opportunity
to display these powers as in Child
ren of Today" in his wonderful
portrayal Of George Raimond the
good old lovable step-father. with his
we'll defined ideas. Mr. Manns sup
porting company will include Emily
Ann Wellman, who has been his lead
ing woman for the past five years,
Margaret Templeton, Adoni Fovieri
Charles Balsor Thomas J. Kelly and
Turner Gordon. Mr.. Mann has agreed
for this engagement only to play al

many enjoyable plays at the Avenue
Theatre, but "Tho Girl in the Taxi" the
Dill this week, has not been equalled 1t
s the liveliest comedy ever presented at
his popular playhouse. and is the
means of crowding the theatre at every
performance The laughter begins with
the rise of the curtain and does not end
until the finish of the last act. The APP
plause IS likewise insistent.
The several musical numbers in the
comedy arc all good. Especially Is this
true Fl tho speciality in the second ee
by Miss Bender. the leading woman, and
Bernard Thornton. All Of the elements
in the play tend to make "'lhe Girl in
the Taxi the best production of its
kind ever seen at the Avenue.
The cafe scene in the second act il a

waiter, makes the fun fast and furious.
Robert Conne.s. the leading man, as

Some time ago a big New York
publishing house became convinced
that there was a crying need for a
ready reference book which should
comprise, in one volume, all the in
formation of the ages--all the records
of history, geography. biography, the
sciences, arts. literature and statistics.
The book must comprise all the sum
and substance of the huge and lengthy
dissertations found in the big CYCLIC
pedias, the histories. biographies and
scientific books The subjects must
be treated briefly and accurately--the
book must be a veritable mine and
storehouse of all the worlds knowl-
more interesting. 1t must be properly
illustrated to command interest.
In the field of zoology, the pictures
of animals must be painted by the
best artists only. Freund was ap-
preached. His skill was an acknowi-
edged fact. He was told of the vast
scope of the book--how ii was needed
and desired by millions Of busy people
who had no time to wander through
the intricate maze OF lengthy articles
in the ponderous cyclopedias. He was
