Mary Antin, Friday.
Mary Antin's initial appearance on
the American platform was in 1918.
From the beginning she has held her
audiences in rapt attention and
thrilled them to a high degree. With
entire simplicity, without studied
forms Of speech and yet with diction
as perfect as though wrought out in
the leisure and quiet of her study,
she speaks words of conviction which
her audiences find it hard to forget
One may not always agree with her,
but no one can fail to be influenced
by her absolute sincerity, her terrible
earnestre ss and her vibrant optimism.
Franklin B. Dyer, superintendent Of
public schools, Boston, says of her
work:
1.-The most important contribution
made to our literature upon the
Americanizing of foreigners seems to
be thaC of Mary Antin.
Her writings and her addresses
are in sharp contrast to the pessimis-
tic note which is so common.
Her words are so sincere and earnest,
so hopeful and eloquent, that they
serve as rallying call to those who
are struggling with this great prob

Hallen and the violin playing of the

do gymnastic stunts on the rings.
In addition to the vaudeville a five

Hip Review.
In the vaudeville acts brought to the
Hip theater for the first three days of
the week, the management of the
theater has carved a new notch on
its standard of excellency that is far
above the last best mark. In the Bob
car Arabs, an acrobatic troupe, an act
ranking on par with the best brought
to the city, is shown The seven MEM
bers of the com pany who range from
one as black as the ace of spades and
little more than four feet tall to a
healthy looking young giant, turn
loose a repertoire of stunts that are
bewildering in their rapidity and ex-
cellence. Mile. Francesca and her
trained parrots present a clever act

rotS can't think. AL.G.
