Mr.. Davenport has a manner that Is
all his own. and II Is one that constantly

enigmatic. His expedient OF having a

an extraordinary coincidence. but one

the classics of literature and Of the stage
will be offered, it is announced. with an
inspiriting prologue which will be one OF

presented under the direction OF Miss

mankind. The quest for happiness. which
has been set forth with exquisite poetic
fancy by the foremost man of letters
in Belgium, utiliZes the adventures OF two
small children for its expression, and
comprehensively covers the whole range
of human experience. while Offering at
the same time an entertainment OF ex-
traordinary interest.
