EVERYBODY who knows him COM
~ ments on Sam Bernards penchant
for high collars. He always wears them
and is never happy without one about
his neck.
Sam was asked yesterday, in the
Lyric, where he is starring in "As
You Were" why he sticks to them so
tenaciously. Don't understand how any
man can stand to wear low collar.
A lowNcollar is an atrocity and affords
no comfort, while high collar protects
the neck from cold sharp winds in the
winter time and prevents sunburn in
the summer time.
isn't that enough to expect of n
collar? Can you expect it from a low
collar? \ little reasoning will make
the answer in favor of the high collar
and | am going to keep on wearing
them whether anybody else does so or
not"

DARRIE'S Dear Brutus' is sea-
ID sonably appropriate. 1t is not a
Christmas play, but it is rich in the
moods and feelings that pcrvade the
Yuletide with tenderness and charm.
Its symbolism is provocative OF finer,
fresher aspirations for the future and
its poetry is cvocative of the worth
while inspirations of the past.
AS imagined by Barrie, it is the story
of what we might have done If fate but
gave us a second chance with our lives.
Pity and irony, above all sympathy,
suffuse the episodes detailing what the
several characters achieved or failed to
achieve in reshaping their lives. OF
course, there is moral just as there
is one in "A Christmas Carol to the
school of which Dear Brutus" belongs
by virtue of its simplicity and its sin =
cerity. As fashioned for the stage in
the superb acting of Mr.. Gillette and
his notable colleagues, it is always an
entertainment aud always more than
an entertainment.

Most interesting of all is that placed
upon onet5f the most eloquent aud

author. In expressing his regrets that
he would not be able to attend the first
American performance, Mr.. Barrie
wrote:
