Those who saw '-Freckles" at the
Grand last night were delighted with
he refreshing character OF the story.
It is a kind Of story too seldom seen.
It IS one Of the great woods where
hardshfps take the place Of rivollty,
where the veneer covers a bigger
heart instead of a worse one, and
where friends are friends for sriend-
ships sake The story itself was a
bit tedious in the telling, but the char
acters interpreting 1t were interesting
and the introduction at various points
Of the tenor songs by VIM G. Thonp-
son served well totbreak any tncilpt-
ton in monotony. Mr.. Thompson has
agood voice, and his selections were
wen suited to the pipe organ accom-
paniment, an advantage which Mr.

Evening Chat

A small red headed boy sat In one
OF the boxes last evening at the Grand
theatre. You know, they say red
haired people haye unusually keen IN
terects and this youngster was no e1-
ception. / know him quite well-haYe
listened to him present various small
quick arguments at school, with his
teacher quite some distance behind
him. He watched, absorbed, the hero
on the stage down below him and be-
cause that hero, Freckles, by name,
possessed a head of hair about the
same shade as his own, TO the young
ster in the box. that man was ideally
perfect.
You know there aren't many real red
haired people in the world. There
are plenty Of near-reds but not just
carrot tops such as these and the boy
spirit and with all the small soul OF
an odd type, took literally and abso-
lute1y, all that Freckes had to say.
Freckles played an ideally lovable part
which won the small boy in the boa
completely. Auburn haired individuals
are as rule especially sympathetic
and warm hearted. These two were
no exception The souls Of Freckles
and Of the boy in the box flowed back
and forth into and out Of one another
in one long steady stream. It was not
only interesting to watch but thrilling
as well. watched particularly. the
lad high up. He never for moment
turned away his eyes Bent over the
rail with his head in his hands, he
gazed-the world around him and out
side, entirely forgotten Freckles, to
that younsster, was not merely stage
the genuine article, possessing fine
sensibilfties, fine instincts and beau
tiful voice. That lad in the box liked
that play. He not only liked it-he
lived it, and what was more he went
through that part just as Freckles did
and believe he could go home and do
a pretty fair imitation Of it besides.

Three splendid audiences witnessed
the first days presentation or Inc
Naughty Princess" at the H1ppodrome
yesterday. Almost every seat on the
first floor was taken, while every tick
et for the balcony was sold, and the
advance sale for the remaining shows
was stronger than any day yet. While
advertised more as a musical comedy,
The Naughty Princess is more OF
farcial operatta- The settings att
splendid, and are so bulky that really
the stage Is crowded when the entire
company Is on. 1t certainly presents
beautiful appearance during some Of
the numbers. Miss Suffer, leading
LADY, was a hit from the minute her
dimfnuttve little form appeared on the
stage, and whether in the lines OF tho
play or tn one OF her many song num-
hers, she was the centre OF admtr1ng
glances and the object Of profuse ap-
plause. Most prominent in the sup
porting cast are Estella NIcNeas. a
talented artist with well trained voice
and possessing appearance. Jack
Leonard is a capital comedian, and his
delivery was m1rth provoking in the
extreme. al Leonard was well liked
both In the song numbers and as a
dancer. The chorus is good looking,
splendidly gowned, and is a singing
chorus much above the ordinary. The
plot is closely woven through the per
formance which takes almost an hour
and a half, and realization and antici-
patton are blended with the result
that there is not duh moment in the
show. Manager Heinrich announced
yesterday on the progoms, that the
company had been retained for the en-
tire week, and that it will produce
'The Four Husbands" the latter half
Of the week.

BRYAN ON IMMORTALITY

at the Eastertide, the striking ar
gument of William J. Bryan on "The
Immortality of. the Soul" taken from
his lecture on "The Prince of Peace
is recalled. It is as follows:
Christ gave us proof Of immortal
ity. and yet it would hardly seem nec-
essary that one should rise from the
dead to convince US that the grave is
not the end.
ITO every created thing God has
given a tongue that proclaims the
resurrection. II the Father deigns to
touch with Divine power the cold and
pu,seless heart Of the buried acorn
and to make it burst forth from its
prison walls, will he leave neglected
in the earth the soul Of man made in
the image Of his Creator? II he stoops
to give to the rose-bush, whose with
cred blossoms float upon the autumn
breeze, the sweet assurance Of anoth-
er springtime, will he refuse the
words of hope to the sons Of man
when the frosts Of winter come? II
matter, mute and inanimate, though
changed by the forces of nature into
a multitude of forms, can never die,
will the spirit Of man suffer annihil-
alton when 1t has paid brief visit
like royal guest to this tenement Of
clay? No, I am as sure that there is
another life as I am that I live to-
day.
I'm Mario I secured few grains OF
wheat that had slumbered for more
than three Thousand years in an
Egyptian tomb. AS I looked at them
this thought came into my mind. II
one Of those grains of wheat had been
planted on the banks Of the Nile the
year after it grew, and all it's lineai
descendants planted and re-planted
from that time until now, it's progeny
would today be sufficiently numerous
to feed the teeming millions of the
world. There is in the grain Of
wheat an invisible thing which has
power to discard the body that we see
and. from earth and air, fashion a
new body, so much like the old one
that we cannot tell the one from the
other. And If this grain of wheat
can thus pass unimpaired through
three thousand resurrections, I shall
not doubt that my soul has power to
clothe itself with a new body, suited
to its new existence, when this earth
ly frame has crumbled into dust"
