This successful comedy has proven
TO both Mr.. Goodwin and its author,
to be the epitome and climax of fine
light entertainment as II is now ex-
pressed and demanded of the Ameri-
can stage. Humor that is wholesome.
clean, irresistible fun that is definitely
gracious. nicely intermingled with all
the tenderness and poignant meaning
that comes so natural in the art of act
ing as depicted by Mr.. Goodwin. The
whimsy story of Never Say Die" has
for its foundation the well known facts
that even eminent doctors sometimes
err in their diagnosis and final analysis
OF what ails the patient and their
prognostications of exactly how long
the subject may or may not live.
Dionysious Woodbury., (Mr. Goodwin)
having been allotted the brief space
of three weeks before passing on to
the great majority, forthwith proceeds
to arrange everything as he would
wish il after his demise; and his sub
sequent failure to live up to the doc
tors predictions, or rather die" as per
the doctors prediction furnish
chaotic confusion of apparently in
eXtricable situations. The reader does
not have to draw heavily upon his i'm
agination to comprehend the manifold
opportunities for laugh provoking sit
uations in which they easily enjoy the
sustained action of this merry COM
edy. A coterie of distinguished play
ers have always been a part and par
eel of Mr.. Goodwin's previous engage
ments, and. on this occasion the exotic
splendor of Miss Margaret Moreland,
everywhere hailed as one of the latest
beauties to grace the stage. will be
eagerly anticipated. as she occupies
the position of leading lady; the critics
have been equally lavish in praising
her talent as an actress. Gladly Will

juries. She declared in the bill that
careful driving could not have avoided
the collision.

First, because the consumer makes
unusual demands on the retailer in rela-
