A PAIR OF SYKES COMING TIC
 DAVIS THEATRE.
ExpIanations-

Did you ever try to explain away the reason for a long. wavy, red hair growing on the collar of your coat?
 Did your ever feel called upon to tained stray pair of long-length 1ady's gloves?
 Did you ever feel your face getting red when your explanations failed to explain about that perfuned breath
 All of these situations are compara- lively easy, so they say, but you just try spilling few drops of crushed roses on your waist-coat-perfume from the stenographer's private bottle, then explain this away-if you can.
 And this.is about where the fun be- gins in "A Pair of Sixes"-the show that is keeping all Boston laughing and will be seen at the Davis theatre, Friday, March 19.. That show told you about last month.
 And talk about fun
 The fact that the show has run all last summer is proof of it's fun-pro- voking features.
 You never hear of them conducting failures during the summer months.
 Oysters and shows have their sea- sons Any old show can run awhile in season, but it takes play with a pearl setting to run all summer. "A Pair of Sixes," seems to catch the spirit of Tho Silent Partner
 It is a living example of a dead fail ure when men in business pull apart And all through the lines you can see where the violet. the rose, and the lilac meet. In all the play there is not a crude. not a rude line. The au- thor is an authority, an expert, on tangling and untan&ing men and wo- men in manner that leaves only sug- gestions-without the usual offense.
 The truth is, I am inclined to think most men and all women-a1most all women-are much better than paint ed. I mean to say, that two thirds of the trouble of men in business, and the better half of women in homes, is the result of lack of understanding
 The writer of "A Pair of Sixes'' cer- tainly comes in the front door on this subject without Knocking"
 Don't forget you want to see this show. Its a liberal business educa- ton and a liberal chance to laugh.
 Take your wife, your best girl take someone.
