LYRIC

Blue devils, grouches and other things with a tendency to make peo- pie undesirable as companions have many enemies but their most sworn antagonist is a good hearty laugh. Answering the naturally inspired question as to where this laughter can be found one need only to pay a visit to the Lyric theatre and witness a performance of that famous dra- matic farce comedy, Isis Hopkins" which is turning thousands of laugh ing patrons away twice every day at each presentation of this well known production. Enthused by the recep- tions accorded them the Poli Players are outdoing their very best efforts in making this play the success il was intended to be and they are re- ceiving their just reward.
 Sis Hopkins" is everything that its reputation implies. Of course there is a plot but it is so flooded under a whirlwind of laughter and comedy that it's trend is forgotten in the en. Joyment of the fun produced. IT some of the most tragic situations when in other productions one would De lncIlned to regard 1t serious, 1t is carried off in so humorous a manner that the audience is inspired to laugh. ter at the antics of Miss Alice Glenn. ents, who is so successfully portray ing the title role.
 Next week the Pon Players will again appear in a comedy of unusua merit which as a laugh generator ha all the earmarks of a success. Som Baby" is the title of what is easil termed some show" for there i nothing left undone to keep an audi ence in a good humor from curtain t curtain. There is an interestin story connected with Some Baby and when 1t is realized that sai Some Baby is supposed to be 6 years of age, only a slight idea of tn fun promised can be realized.

If the school authorities see fit to
let tots of the first and second grades
go home at l p. m. no doubt it will
meet with the hearty approval of pa
irons. If these small beginners have
to carry lunches and stay in school
till 2 or 2:30 p. m. daily and then have
to study their lessons at home, as
second-grade pupils seem to be ex-
pected to do, the health of many small
children, who need more care-free
play than that will allow them, is IN
danger of being impaired. At least
SO it seems to The Robesonian, and it
believes that most parents will agree
that that is so. The Robesonian
hopes that if there is any doubt about
which is the wiser plan the tots will
be given the benefit of the doubt and
allowed to go home at the earlier
hour.

a consummation to be worked for

SIDE TALKS
A Powerful Argument
BY Ruu CAMERON

| Nor knoWest thou what argum emit
Thy lift to thy neighbor's creed hath
lent"
! EMERSON,
What converted you to suffrage %
we one day asked a woman who had
formerly been against votes for wom-
an and had recently come over.
The things Miss B. said about it,"
she explained referring to q mutual
friend. Then she corrected herself
hastily, adding, mo, | don't really
mean that. 1t wasn't so much the
things she said about it, as the fact
that she believed in it. That was
enough for me-"
What a fine tribute!
Think of Being Able to Argue That
Think of having SO sterling a char
acter that the fact that you believe
in a cause is an argument for that
cause!
That means that you inspire trust.
That people do not have to dis
any faint of prejudice or sentiment
tality or hysteria.
That people know you are honest
and sincere.
1t is a fine thing to be able to
speak eloquently for the causes in
which you believe.
