LYRIC

Growing out of g. comment made by a social leader yesterday in regard to The Blindness of Virtue" the play which is to be presented at the Lyric theatre all next week by the CaIburn Stock Cos. the management of the theatre has decided to invite the Pas tors association of Bridgeport to witness the play, and give it's verdict as to whether the production is one which should be shown in this city
 Frank L. Callahan, manager of the CaIburn Stock Co.,, last night des- patched a letter to Rev. F. E. Ma thias, pastor of the Kings Highway church, and president of the Bridge port Pastors association. The letter contained an invitation to all the members of the Pastors. association, their wives. and any friends among the clergy of Bridgeport whom they may wish to bring as guests, to wit ness the first matinee performance of .@The Blindness of Airtue,' Tuesday afternoon, April 20. Boxes will be re- served for the ministers and their friends, who will be the invited guests Of the Calburn Co.
 The purpose of inviting the clergy men ofs Bridgeport to witness the per formance of s"The Blindness of Vir- tue" is to let thek ministers see for themselves just what kind of a play this is. When the play first appear ed in Boston, Chieago, and New ork 1t was made the butt of no end of criticism by ministers and others who condemned before they had seen it. When, however, the management of the English company which first l3ro- duced the piece, invited the ministers of Boston, and other cities to see the play before they Judged it, 1t was the opinion of many of the clergy that the play teaches a great moral les son.
 .sThe Blindness of Virtue tells the story of the daughter of a rector of a small parish near London. The girl not understanding certain inward inn pulses, throws herself into compro- missing situation with a young stu dent who has been sent to study with the vicar The rector appears and at once falsely accuses the young man, when the daughter demands to know the meaning of the accusation The father sees what might have been the result through his daughters ig- norance and begins to understand that the blame for the whole affair rests on himself and wife.

EMPIRE

 s's- obs which may be described as an uproarious comedy based on an essentially satiricaI idea and which is therefore completely removed from cheap slap-stick farces. tells the story of a n1ilkman who suddenly inherits the title of an English Duke and twenty million dollars of actual money, but the society Ia.bors Of be- ing a. duke are quite another matter.
 A prominent lawyer of the town has advance information that the rnilkman is about to become a duke and seeks to arrange matters in ad- vance so that the man shall marry he comes to any knowledge of his good fortune. This plan falls through. The nilkman, who is just a typical nai1kman, gets possession of an ad- vance on his riches and begins at once to blossom out amazingly. He is anxious to marry a society girl of genuine worth whom he has met by accident in his milknan day@but just because she is truly worth while, the display of wealth and title to which the other women all yield, while they laugh at the duke" be- hind his back, makes him intolerab1e to her. In the end the duke comes to understand that he is only being made fun of, and tries to go back to the Enilkwagon. By this time, how ever, the girl he loves has recogniz- ed his sterling good qualities and agrees to teach him how to be a Duke in the most approved manner. This excellent Paramount six part feature will head the programs offered on Monday and Tuesday at Keeney's s Empire theatre.

Omen Mutjny,

Open Muttny.
Though she had been schooled to hold
the very name of Law in loathing un-
speakable and to think of Alan as
mortal enemy and as one whose death
alone could properly requite the cruel
injury that had been done her father;
and though the man himself had
laughed to scorn her first involuntary
confession Of that love for him which
now consumed her being with its in
satiable fires, she swallowed her
chagrin and followed him with the
solicitude of one whose love can recog-
nize no wrong in its object. Through
all the remainder of that day Of terror
she was never far from his side.
With the meekness of the strong,
she made herself his shadow. And
she was now the stronger, for she had
had more than an hours rest beside
the waterhole, which he had missed
on the way of that rocky windbreak.
Sooner or later his strength must fail
him and he would need her; till then
she was content to bide her hour.
1t befell presently in startling fash
ion: she was not yard behind him
when he vanished abruptly.

an arm bent under him in a pose
frightfully suggestive of dislocation.
Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no
sign to indicate that the movement
had caused him the slightest pain.
There was a slight cut upon his
brow, bruise about his left temple.
She tore linen from her bosom, be-
meath her coarse flannel shirt, and with

the cut clean and bandaged it.

Causes Of Unhappiness.

The worst kinds of unhappiness, as
well as the greatest amount of it,
come from our conduct to each other.
If our conduct, therefore, were under
the control of kindness, it would be
nearly the opposite of what it is, and
so the state of the world would be
almost reversed. We are for the most
part unhappy, because the world Is an
unkind world. But the world is only
unkind for the lack Of kindness in us
units who compose it.--Frederick vii
