'AFULL HOUSE. GETS
 MANY GOOD HANDS
Clara Coleman CleVerly Carried
 Comedy at LyCeum Last Night

When a man makes his debut in
 any stage character it is generally
 with fear and trepidation; not so
 with Earl Mitchell who at the Ly- ceum last night essayed for the hrst
 time the role of the stranger in "A Full House." MT. Mitchell went i through with his part as if he hao 1 been playing it all his life. Ana
 there Were few, if any, in the audi l ence who knew otherwise. Which all 1 goes to show that little nerve helps
 many a man to get by. And, be 1t said, the stranger in this particular
 show is quite some character role.
 For around him devolves, or revolves'
 the entire action of the three acts of comedy and mirth, fun, or whatever one would call it. "A Full House" is nothing if not good. It all has to do 1 with 8 mix-up in suit cases. A young married man, called away from his , Wife after the wedding day, is caught ] in railroad accident and, in the | furry, gets the suit case of first class burglar, the stranger, who is on the same train and the case contains a $30,0O0 necklace, stolen goods. The burglar. gets the married mans suit l case and traces him to his apartment on Riverside drive, where the fun proceeds. In this case there are some rich love letters.
 There is nothing really new in the plot of "A Full House, The same thing has been done so often it has become trite. Yet the lines are so up-to-date, and the situations so pol ished that the whole affair is as re- freshing as the gallopings of thor oughbred two-year-old. Asse mbling the married man and his wife, 8 young college boy and his fiancee, an old maid aunt, a regular English but Ter, a Boston chorus girl, a maid from Sioux city, a policeman and a detec- tive in one room with a burglar must
 needs bring about some good comedy. And "A Full House. is replete with all this and more. At times the lines partake of the unsavory flavor of tenderloin jargOn, but all this is for l given. They are also racy in spots, l but no one seems to care.
 When it comes to portraying a real 1 honest-to goodness maid, Clara Cole l man stands in a class by herself. ] Probably her only equal is the fla nous Miss Norton who is "Coddles'
 in "A Pair of Sizes. In the show at
 the Lyceum last night Miss Coleman l sent the audience into convulsions by the manner in which she portray ed
 Susie Sponge, from Sioux City She 1 easily carried off the honors of the 1 night.
 1 Others in the cast were: Gordon
 Standing, Estelle Reilley, Vivian Gill

TN OLD KENTUCKY"
 TO BE HERE TWO DAYS

The scholarly dean of New Eng
 land dramatic critics, the late MT.
 Il. A. Clapp, in reviewing the first
 presentation of "In Old Kentucky"
 in Boston, as long ago as 1894 said, Tn the course of his review in the Boston Advertiser:
 If Shakespeare were alive and
 here, he would find much to amuse
 ana please him in this piece.'
 twenty years after these words were written Tn Old Kentucky" came , back to the same Boston playhouse,
 Ill which it scored it's original suc-
 cess-the historic Boston theater-
 and demonstrated it's wonderful drawing powers by crowding this capac1ous theater to the doors for many weeks during it's stay last March and April. MT. Clapp's words III the light of the plays successful stage career, were truy prophetic, for all America has been entertained for
 more than decade by this wonder ful drama of the bluegrass country. "In Old Kentucky will be seen at the Lyceum on Friday and Satur- day of this week. Special popular

Enemies And Enemies

conviction is part of some high pur- pose and you antagonize those who are against the best interests of the community, you have reason to be proud of this antagonism.
 Should You Be Proud of Having Been
 DisagreeabIe
 agreeable thing, or do something un- kind, and thereby make an enemy, why should you be proud? On the contrary, you should be heartily ashamed and do your best to make him your friend again.
 To take slightly different aspect of the case, people are often proud of their own dislikes because they have the feeling that to like everyone is the sign of week character. Be- fore you praise yourself for showing strength of personality In not liking everyone, ask yourself, What are my dislikes founded on?"
 Are they founded on envy, on Ee- sentiment of some slight, on some Old grievance, or are they founded on the fact that the person is mean or disa- greeable, or has principles antagonis- tic to yours?
 Hate the Sin But Not the Sinner.
 I question if even that latter class of dislike is justifiable for one should, of course, hate the fault or the ~n- worthy principle rather than it's pos sessor. h.-..s
 As the tender-hearted children's poet once beautifully said:
 "If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each mans life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility"

POLL PLAYERS IN
 VOLUNTEER ORGANIST

The revival of the rural comedy
 drama, '"The Volunteer Organist," by
 the Poli Players al. Polls theater this
 week is satisfactory - and pleasing.
 While the main theme of the plot is
 melodramatic, sufficient comedy is .nterwoven to relieve it of it's tenslty. This is the first play under the di- ,, rection of Stage Director Ritchie and the Poli patrons have already seen that the same high standard of pro- ducing will be maintained under his direction as under his predecessors. The story of '"The Volunteer Organ ist," centers about a little flock of typical rural characters who might be found in any small community in 1 the days of long ago. MT. Hollings- worth as the pastor and Miss Florine Tarr make the most of their roles and win the sympathy and admira- l tion of the audience. Ben McQuarrie, as the village postmaster and holder 1 or many mortgages, is good. Forrest 1 Seabury is, of course, a vertible riot ] of laughter in the chief comedy role. The other Poli favorites have prom 1 inent parts. The presence of Hugh l McHugh with the Players this week, l singing in the famous church scene. l is pleasing to the many friends and 1 admirers of the boy soprano of St. l Joseph's Cathedral. Master McHugh ! possesses a sweet, rich voice that is l ranked with the best in Connecticut l and his number is receiving an un- usual reception at each performance.

 It was of dark green velvet The coat was long and pointed on the sides, ending in Q band of mink fur ... It was cut semi-f1tt1ng and fastened with military frogs ..... The collar was of fur, high and. pointed on the sides, and the sleeves ended in deep cuffs of the fur ....... She wore a lovely little pill-box turban to match, green velvet crown With a broad band of fur and a nigh black feather fancy caught by an emerald and rhinestone ornament She said she'd call you up at seven-thirty .....

T wouldn't have any use for man who hadn't an enemy" cried Molly, the little stenographer lady, with flashing eyes.
 Someone had been speaking with disapproVal of q man who seemed to have 8 good many enemies.
 Doesn't that depend?" ques- toned the Authorman.
 'tOn what?"
 "On what kind of enemies they are"
 You mean-?"
 Whether they are enemies of conviction or mere personal en- emies."
 The Authormn's point is well taken, isn't it
 It is rather the style nowadays to deprecate too general popu. larity as the sign of personality which has no backbone, but is a "mush of concession" Many People Are Proud of Their Enemies.
 Now that may be all very true, but it does not prove the converse namely, that unpopularity is a sign of a strong character. And yet that converse seems to be as generally accepted as the theorem itself and many people have the idea that an enemy, no matter of what na- ture, is som ething to be proud of.
 It is a foolish feeling and ought to be uprooted.
 There are enemies and enemies. When by standing up for some honest conviction you antagonize someone and make an enemy, you have no reason to be sorry. If your

Ready for the Party.

If Dicky and I had been alone in 1 the apartment when I hung up the 1 receiver after listening to Lillian 1 Gales cordial acceptance of my invi- 1 tation, am afraid we would have had l another quarrel. I was hurt and irri- ! tated at the offhand manner in which Dicky had consulted her about the ! other guests. I felt that he had ig- nored me completely after I had sac rificed my own inclinations and prej- ! udices and extended an invitation to the Underwoods for the next evening. l I had intended to surprise him with l my magnaninity. Instead, told my self bitterly, he had surprised me with his boorishness.
 But Katie stood waiting. Any plans for the next evenings cha1ng dish supper must be made at once. 1 What would you like?" I turned to Dicky.
 Don't you bother about this SUD- per, Madge.' His important manner made me smile in spite of my irrita- ton. "This chafing dish stunt is my speciality, and the crowd always want
 more whenever I'm the cook.'' The Sandwiches Sop.
 '"The sandwiches I'll leave to you,"
 Dicky rattled on. 1T never bothered
 with those. Lil always brought some
 over whenever the crowd came over
 to the studio. Or you can fix the sandwiches yourself, but be sure you have a kick in them. Remember this crowd isn't school teachers ice cream soda party"
 If Dicky had carefully planned his words to wound and anger me so that would take neither interest nor pleasure in the coming of his friends, he could not have chosen them more wisely. I resolved, however, that I l would control my anger. I felt that detested the very thought of his friends and our proposed entertain
 ment of them, but I told myself with
 bitterness that this was part of the
 price had to pay for loving a man SC dissimilar in tastes to myself.
 If you're going out, Katie,'' he said, stop at that little sea food mar ket where you used to get the oysters, remember? and have him send over hundred-you know the kind, And don't forget to stop at that delicates- sen where you used to get the stuff for me. You know the kind of cheese,
 two pounds, not too fresh, and some
 of those salty square crackers. Have you all the other stuff in the house '' Madge Inists on Almonds. "Oh, yes, Meester Graham, mus l tard, peppaire-all kinds, ta-bas-co,
 Woos-''
 1 Don't break your jaw, Katie" ad-
 vised Dicky mischievously. "Ill take your word for it. Get two of those
 large bottles of stuffed olives, and
 some salted nuts-the girls always
 want those-and then whatever Mrs. Graham wants for sandwiches"
 Katie turned to me inquiringly. For moment I could not speak for
 the lump in my throat. I seemed so
 completely out of it. I had had rosy l dreams before I married of entertain ing some of Dickys friends at little supper, and surprising them with some of the dainty dishes I had
 served to some of my own friends And here Dicky was making my mait his partner in the planning, ever grudging me the preparation of tn sandwiches. I resolved to assert my self in one matter anyway.

Household Notes

Dinner should begin with soup; it starts the gastric juices and pre- pares the stomach for the meal that follows.
 Do not forget that the bureau and clothes closet of the guest room should be empty of all the family be- longings
 All rubbing and wringing by twisting is harmful when washing woolens; be sure to rinse out all the soapsuds.
 Woolen fabrics such as flannel shirts, petticoats, trousers and blan- kets should be pulled into shape and hung straight to dry.
 The color of green vegetables can be preserved if they are put on to cook in boiling water to which a pinch of salt has been added.
 A window box planted with seeds of some Towering plant (pansies are best adapted to indoor life) and placed in the sunny window of the invalid's room will provide an interest for the shut-in.
