BARRIE'S PLAY RICH
IN VISION AND P0ESY
"Dear Brutus" Is Hight antas-

The newest Barrie play to reach this

mirable company at the Broad-ls

whimsy and fantasy and opulent re,
sources of fancy. imagination and
vision. as well as an exhibition of skill
in shaping material illusively knowingly
and beautifully in sheer loveliness.
The play is fantasy Of make believe
at the cerie tide of midsummer's eve.
when good yeomanry keep within their
cottages with doors latched and win
dows bolted. 1t is fairy tale told in
terms of realism with touching and
effective symbolism pcrvading fairy at
mosphere of it's spirit with the modern
realities of it's narration. The outward
signs and the inner graces are firmly
and finely related and unified .
OF course it is not a drama in any
accepted or even unusual sense. The
framework is highly artificial but the
canvas it holds is thing of beauty
Lob. an ancient eccentric of the
English countryside. gathers in his
house on the witching eve of mid

wreckage of his life. Out into the
enchanted wood in the moonlight of the
fated night Lob--or Robin Goodfellow

pound of malice and glee and just a bit
of tenderness and symathy for poor
humans with the opportunity to have
another try at life and to retrieve lost
hopes and reconstruct broken lives.
Three things cannot be recalled they
agree in the beginning - the spoken
word. lost opportunities and past life.
Their experiences in the realm of make

that fallible humanity will do the same

not fate, that conditions our lives, tina:

within ourselves. Yet here and there q
fairy change is wrought in some one

The symbolism and the spirSual sig

their demands on acting that must
blend romance with realism. that mus

always suggest other worldliness. 1t is
a tribute to the adept virtuosity, ant

'"PASSlNG SHOW" DAZZLES
Big Musical Revue at Metropolitan

More than 1000 persons last night
temporarily laid aside their Christmas
planning and found relaxation aud an
abundance of enjoyment in the per
formance of ''The Passing Show Of
1915" which opened return engage
ment in the Metropolitan Opera House.
Those who saw the production on its
previous presentation here found it a
little bigger and perhaps little brighter
and those who witnessed it for the first
time surely must have gone HON: much
impressed with its massiveness, color
and general entertaining qualities.
The piece has been brought up to date
in its songs, dances and gags and the
skillful blending of tints, shades and
hues in the settings and costumes pake
for combinations that tend to dazzle
the eye. Then, too, the girls, those
lyric auxiliaries, as they prefer to be
termed, are pretty and buoyantly youth
full. The comedians ran true to their
previous form with Willie and Eugene
Howard carrying off the honors By their
singing and comicalities. Roy Cum
mings scored with his capers. Others
who found favor were Will Philbrick,
John Burke, Helen Darlington, Edward
Basse, Emily Miles, Leta Corder, Alex
andra Dagmar and Edward Cutler. The
production is in two acts and fifteen
scenes.

Made $3.50 Miles in 81 Hours
p Minutes Driving Time

The Essex was put on the speedway
to prove it's reliability in fifty-hour
test.
At the end of 27 hours So minutes
and in the 17oOth mile, rain and sleet
forced a stop. A second start was
made three days later, but snow again
ended the trial. This time the run
lasted 16 hours Is minutes and COW
cred 1912 miles. The third run, start
ing the following day, was successful,
the fifty-hour period being completed.
Thus the proof of Essex endurance
is even greater than that expressed in
the 5O-hour run. Think what that
means. The average car is driven
little more than 5000 miles in the
entire season. But this stock Essex
chassis went more than mile a min

DoeSn t 1t Settle the
Light Car Question?

Light weight in an automobile has
meant principally moderate price and
perhaps gasoline and tire economy.
There was enough speed and power to
get about, but none that gave distinc-
ton on the road. Fineness and per-
fornance were not expected.
But the Essex brought fine car quail
ity to the light Car field, It's appear
ance gave it immediate distinction.
It's performance placed it in the large
costly car class. Only in size, cost and
economy of gasoline, oil and tires was
it compared to cars in the moderate
price field.
Is it any wonder that motorists
have praised the Essex as they have?
1t gave them just what they had
wanted. 1t was the way by which
they could keep their motoring costs
down and still have car that filled
their demands in performance, appear
