1.-THE Road to Hardness"

A comedy Of cheerfulnesE, THE
Road to Happiness" was presented by
William Hodge and company Thursday
evening at the Opera house and to say
that it came up to expectations would
be to express it mildly. Every seat in
the house was taken and there was
standing room only" Mr.. Hodge in
the character Of Jim Whitman, de-
lighted all by his optimism and was
supported by very strong company.
The play which swings between
smiles and tears is rightly named 1.-THE
Road to Happiness" and any one see
ing Jim Whitman's cheerfulness as he
faces all sorts Of difficulties, could
not be pessimistic.
Mr.. Hodge plays the part Of Jim
Whitman to perfection. While he is
upon the stage every eye is upon him
and what he says is listened to with
the greatest of interest. His quaint
sayings always draw applause, and
his theories are we'll received. you
can't fight trouble with tears" is one
Of his mottos, and this he demon
strates in many ways.
The four acts Of the play are all
laid in a quiet little village and the
plot depends upon the finding Of a
little baby founding on the doorstep
Of Squire Hardcastle's home. Whit
man comes to the defense Of an un-
justly accused girl and at the end of
the play he unravels the mystery.
The other characters were present
ed in an especially fine manner, and
in particular the part Of Viola, taken
l,,, f~artr,,do IJif1 apd tho mart of Eva
taken by Hazel Sexton. A quaint and
amusing character is that Of the farm
er, Phil Hunt, who rides across the
stage upon his old horse, Senator"
This part. was presented by A. l..
Stevens.
The play, as a whole. appealing to
everybody, cannot but please, and the
manner in which the performance was
received in this city was no excep-
ton to the rule.
