One Feature of Coming
Play Is Brandon lyman
Brilliant Young Actor Has
Fought Way to High Place
from Lowly Position.

One Of the features of the big Century
Theater spectacle. Joseph and Hia
Brethren" which comes to the National
Theater next week. is the acting Of Bran
don lyman in the role Of Joseph.
Mr.. lyman achieved his present celeb
rity by dint Of perseverance. His genius
received recognition of sort very early
In life, but for a while II was believed
that his talents were limited. His career
Is an extraordinary one, and though
tolerably well known, deserves repetition
at this time.
Brandon lyman is the son of Patrick J.
=. lyman. the Mysterious Number One.
OF the Fenian movement In ireland In
'S. man still living and revered by
patriotic ireland as one Of her greatest
heroes. The story of Tynan's trial and
his coming to America is vividly re-
membered by all who lived through those
troublous times.
Once Drove Milk Wagon.
Arriving in America, the elder lyman
viewed the situation in this country and
deciding that protection was necessary
to its welfare became a Republican, thus
forfeiting the political patronage his ad-
miring compatriots. all Democrats, were
willing to bestow upon him. For years
he lived in comparative poverty, his son
Brandon driving milk wagon to exc out
the family's slender income.
Young lyman nursed an early hatred OF
Ireland and the Irish, who had not come
to the aid of the patriot who had given
his all for his country. In time. however,
he devoted his spare time to the study
of Irish history, and soon became as
jealous a patriot as ever breathed. MY
first play, Robert Emmett could not
fail" he says. ''for it was written as an
apology to my father"
But Robert Emmett anticipates our
history by year or two. At eighteen
Brandon lyman had saved up enough
money to start a course in a school of
acting. He paid such tuition as he could,
and gave his notes for the balance. While
at this school he started writing Robert
Emmett" This play was completed at
the age of nineteen, and produced with
its author in the title role when he was
twenty. 1t was a tremendous success.
Owing to the young mans popularity
among the Irish, it was thought that the

The Washington herald., 1914-01-17
The Teaching.

OF course the teaching here 10 in the
parable itself. and especially when It is
set in relation to the incident which called
II forth.
AS an answer to the actual question OF
the man our Lord revealed the fact that
a neighbour is any man who Is in need.
This is emphasized by the fact that the
wounded man was a Jew, one with whom
Samaritans had a perpetual feud; and yet
Samaritan cared for him. Moreover he
was a man stripped by robbers, from
whom nothing could be gained. Finally
he was a man within reach OF his own
people-for priest and Levite perpetually
passed that way-and whom therefore a
Samaritan was not necessarily expected
to help. Yet that man, Jew. robbed neg
lected, was the Samaritan't neighbour, the
one whom he most loved.
The teaching. therefore, for the lawyer
and for US Is this, that instead Of asking.
who is my neighbour" We should ever
inquire, To whom can I be a neighbour?
And II goes on to reveal what neighbour
liness really is 1t springs out of COM
passion. 1t expresses itself In immediate
service. 1t completes itself in making
perfect provision for the needy one.
OF course, whenever We study this par
able of the Good Samaritan We ought to
remember that in this teaching our Lord
was revealing the true type of character
according to the will of God, the
character which is age-abiding. That is
what He meant when after the lawyer s
confession He said. This do, and thou
shalt live and when at the close of the
parable He again said to him, Go. and
do thou likewise" To leave the teaching
there Is simply to leave ourselves face to
face with one OF the most impossible
ideals of life. Let us therefore remember
that when He uttered the parable He
was on His way to the Cross, and to res
direction. through which He would be
able no longer to say. This do and thou
shalt live" but rather. Live. and do this.
F. As we have seen. the true spring of
neighbourly action is compassion. Com
passion equal to such action springs out
of life. Herein Is revealed at once the
value and the. weakness of the law. It
presents the ideal, but never supplies the
life. Herein therefore also is revealed
the ultimate glory of the work of Christ.
He came to re-emphasIze and elorify the
ideal which the law presented, but prin-
cipally to bestow the gift of life in the
power of which the ideal may be fulfilled
