With three such sweet and powerful
singers, it is no wonder the Comus
Players at the Colonial theatre this

rare indeed that three such voices. ac-
companied by charming personalities,
grace any programme at the same

is calculated to meet the tastes of a

whose splendid singing voice is utilized

ANNOUNCEMENTS
AT THE AUDITORIUM.
John Barrymore in The Dictator and
Big Tabloid Show Today.

The Irish and Scotch Tabloid Play
ers, who have been attracting such
wide attention during their stay at
the Auditorium, will be seen today for
the last time in the comedy Scotch
piece, McGregors Anniversary Day, as
tomorrow they will make a complete
change and present a very funny Irish
farce entitled Shaun'S Farewell, which
will be the bill for the remainder OF
the week. In McGregors Anniversary
Day, which will be the bill for today.
a very pleasing Scotch song and dance
review will be seen in which many
popular Scotch airs will be sung by
Jim Dorhety in his usual sweet tenor
voice. Miss Marie Agnese and Miss
O'Hearn. Scottish dances will be in
troduced and original stories and jokes
will be heard. The Tabloid Players
have show that is different from the
others and very neat and clean IN
every respect and all who have seen
it speak very highly of it.
The Paramount picture for WedneS-
day and Thursday will be The Dictator
with John Barrymore in the leading
role, supported by Charlotte Ives. The
Dictator, by Richard Harding Davis,
affords John Barrymore, the inimitable
comedian, and those Immediately con-
cerned with him in the projection of
fun, opulent opportunities to tickle the
risibles of a large and thoroughly ap-
methods as he was in The Man From
Mexico, and his other sensational COM
edy success, Are You a Mason? yet
his system of provoking laughter in
this subject is somewhat different, too,
due to the melodramatic requirements
of the story. The Dictator is termed a
melodramatic comedy, and the fun of
the plot emanates from the apparently
serious situations in which the star
finds himself. For this reason, only a
Barrymore, with his knowledge of dra-
matte principles, could adequately in
terpret the role so that the humor is
preserved,
All the subtleties of his art are
brought to bear upon the part he por-
trays, and suggestion with him simply
means fulfillment Mr.. Barrymore has
probably never had a role either on
the stage or screen, which equipped
him with better opportunities. The
photoplay can be said to be full of
"Barrymoreisms." AS Brooke Travers,
who has perforce left New York with
his valet on southbound steamer af-
ter a questionable night adventure with
a cabman, the star is put through a
series of deliciously amusing embar-
easements, the sort most happily suited
to his personality, emerging first as
Uncle Sans consul at Porto Banos,
and finally as it's dictator. For the
author. it might be said that Richard
Harding Davis treats South Americans
and their chief pastime which is revo-
lutions in highly comic manner, and
the photoplay on the whole is one of
the most diverting subjects produced
on the screen in some time.

If your friend has sung a song.
That has filled your heart with chez
Or has righted some sore wrong,
At the cost of many tear
Pat him on the back.
II he falters in the race
For the nobler things of life,
Look with pity on his case.
Help him in his manly strife
Pat him on the back
If he falls beneath his load
And is struggling to arise,
Do not censure, do not goad,
Casting on him scornfui eyes
Pat him on the back.
If he has been led astray,
Into ugly paths of shame
Win him to the better way.
Use no bitter words Of blame
Pat him on the back
If in far OF country he
Has been eating husks with swine
Make him q jubilee,
When his sins he shall resign
Pat him on the back.
Never utterly forsake
One you cherish as a friend;
Follow closely In his wake.
Though at times he may offend
Pat him on the back.
