THEATERS
AT THE OLIVER.

For over 40 years Forbes Robert
sons distinguished personality and
art have been a familiar delight 20
playgoers. He has decided 20 retire
from the stage al the zenith OF his
powers. and will be seen for the last
time in this city at the oliver the
alter Monday evening. No one will
be disposed to deny that ne has well
deserved Bernard Shaw's descrip-
ton OF him as the greatest classical
actor on the English stage" He
has touched nothing that ne has not
adorned; ne has attained heights
where he has been without "A peer.
and in o.ary circumstance ne has
thought and made others think noblv
OF his art So it happens that ne
has established a high claim upon
critical esteem as we'll as upon pub
lie affection.
More than generation has been
enriched with "a notable gallery OF
creations. and ne closes his career
with the knowledge that. by undis-
puted admission. his Hamlet is the
finest presentation Of the part which
the modern stage has seen. That
IN itself is no small achievement,
and 20 It may be added the testi-
mony OF Henry Arthur Jones that
Forbes Robertson has been the
most beautiful and accomplished
speaker OF Shakespearean verse in
ali the countries that use Shake
speare's language"
To the new vigor and dignity
which the British drama has attain
ed in the last 80 years this finely
accomplished artist has contributed
- a little by his personality and
RI huence He will carry away with
mn into his retirement the respect
gratitude and the warm affection
the American public, and leave
vehind, as "a great actor and a true
gentleman" a memory that will long
be green.

Can't Lawfully Keep Them
Out?

The City Council refused to gran,
license for the Argyle shows to ex.
hibit here the week of May %. Mr.
Gibbs, manager, is personally known
to the editor, is a gentlemon and
conducts clean show and license
cannot be lawfully denied such
shows according to a recent ruling
of the court and upon the advice of
eminent counsel. The show can
come and exhibit as long as it is
clean and exhorbiant taxes or ar
rests will only add to the troubles
of the city. Of course all shows do
not care to 60 to law on such matt
ers, hence very few cases have been
tested out here. The law says what
shall be charged, etc. and all above
such amounts must be refunded.

armed. But there is only one true
preparedness, and that is to educate
the race in the sex-psychology of
the Bible as Moses wrote it and
Jesus preached it. That within man
which makes him kill is within the
SIGNATURE and SO is all evil. Moses
so wrote and Jesus so preached. The
Bible is book of sex from Scene

thes essex-nature in mind and thought,
in the absolute, at thirty years of
age and became the Christ and the
Prince of Peace. What Jesus did
in the absolute, the race must be
taught to approximate, if the world
is to have Peace and solve the pro-
blems of the evils of the race. We
must get back to the truth of the
! Bible, that all evil is within the SEX
nature, if we would Christianize the
race. Mr.. Tapp is a lawyer and has
written three books on the sex -psy-
chology of the Bible. The Truth
