May Robson in "The Clever Woman
 Coming to The Davis.

Is the white lie'' justifiable?
 It is if used to settle family diff culties. says May Robson in the title role of The Clever Woman, which comes to the Davis theatre, Thursday evening, Jan. 18th. James Forbes has constructed his new three act comedy upon situations that will be personal history to many of Miss Robson's audiences. The conflicting. emotions and devotionS of the members of a newly rich western family in adapting themselves to the new commercial and social conditions of New York-a New York of much money and buffers and gowns and automobiles-gives The Clever Woman the best of opportuni- ties to show what a wife and mother with a ready wit, a big heart and a saving sense of humor' can do
 William Moore Patch, the producer. believes that in The Clever Woman he has found the answer to the pop- ular demand for clean plays after the recent surfeit of sex drama. He is confident that there is a need for something apart from the omnipresent reugenic" and white slave play and The Clever Woman is his offering for the filling of that want He has sur rounded his star with a most capable cempany and it IS said the scenery OfetI1e production is second in elegance to, none on the stage today
 May Robson as character actress is second to none. But she is essen tially ag comedienne. Theatregoers re- member the remarkable mixture of pathos and comedy with which she made The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary soG famous and Miss Robson declares that Tine Clever Woman is the best vehicle she ever had.
 The Clever Woman's method of twisting the other members of the family about her little finger for the accomplishment of their ultimate good, making them think they are all the time having their own way will give pointers to many experienced wives and mothers. Miss Robson says she can play the part from the bottom of her heart for in private life she pre- sides over happy family. She is the wife of Dr. A. H. Brown. the New York surgeon.

orpheum Theatre, DanieIson.

The highly successful production of Porter Emerson Browne's latest, play will be presented at the Orpheum the ater, Wednesday, Jan. 2S.
 The Spendthrift is Frances Ward (Louise Price) the wife of a hard working broker, whose extravaganza brings him to the brink of ruin. She is a. beautiful woman who cares more for social triumphs and glittering in cidentals of association with the money spending set than anything else.
 It is necessary, in order that the audience be convinced of Mrs. Wards extravagant habits. that she appear in some rather expensive clothes crea- tions. Because of that Miss Louise Price, who plays the part, wil have the pleasure of displaying to the aud fence here, which is probably as dis eliminating as any in the world, sew eral. gowns calculated to make women open their eyes with delight at the sight of them, and men close theirs at the idea of having to settle the bills for similar sartorial triumphs.

 Was s-uerdon for the fearless; The stupid only turn to gaze From eyes that still are teariess- The breezes blow through hedges
 where
 Nests may be lightly swinging; The joyousneSS that once was there Has been supplanted by despal~ Where gladness once was ringing There IS q dismal note of care
 In every Songster's singing The rose is dropping on the vine, Its petals fall unheeded; Fond eyes that once looked into mine Have ceased to let me read the sign For which INfondly pleaded d- Another'S won her, with the fine
