EVANGELICAL CHURCH

The new conference year started
in very nicely last Sunday, the
morning service being we'll attend
ed and a most excellent spirit. We
were glad to see some out who
have been on the sick list for some
time. To them the Lord was espe-
cially precious.
Two amiable characters were
presented on last Sunday-Nathanie
in the morning and John the Bap-
fist in the evening us referred to in
John 10:41. These characters
speak volumes whose values are eter-
nal treasures.
On account of so many farmers
going by the old time as it suits
them best, the trustees of the Evan
gelical church may arrange, their
service one hour later. If they do.
and you, brother farmer. don't go to
church. then someone else will be
to blame. The poet says 1.-THE busy
farmer feeds them ALL" So we
want to serve his spiritual meals
timely. If the mountain don't

Of the whole production. rs,
As has been said, the basic plot Is

times, but perhaps not with the fine
touch of treatment that Miss Crothers
has given it. A young, pretty and un-
sophisticated girl comes to New York
for a career as a singer, first to make
something of herself and, incidentally,
to help, financially, the folks back home.
The usual trials and pitfalls are met
and-well, fortunately, there is a

"39 EAST" CHARMING
PLAY AT THE LYRIC
Constance Binney and Henry
Hull Delightful in Comedy
Based on Familiar Topic

IL is a peculiar and rare mental al
chemy that can transmute the dross of
the common and the immediate into
gold. but that is precisely what Rachel
Crothers has done in her little comedy.
"39 Fast" presented at the Lyric
last night.
The author has bravely adapted fam
iliar materials and has thrown over
them the light and shadow Of her
thoughtful mind eIfciting deep sig
nificance and n prolific beauty. The
result is ideally true to the real. A
cross section of life in " New York
boarding house has been placed upon
the stage.
Miss Crothers has succeeded in at
taching an absorbing interest to a home
and an every day subject, which is nc
small triumph. A poetic and dramatic
charm has been cast over what to many
would have appeared commonplace
She has striven to please rather than
astonish and has achieved her object
wonderfully. Her invention is felici
tous. 1t is filled with zestful humor
and at times buoyant with fantasy
and this in face of the difficulty oi
giving imaginative scope to a scene OF
topic which familiarity has robbed OF
illusion. 1t is the delicacy of Miss
Crothers's psychological insight that
one marks in the characterizations
each one of which is distinct and in
tensely human. She is no mean anat
omizer of the human heart and she is
keen observer of the traits and fol-
lies of age and youth.
If originality is not an evident feat
ure, the play has grace and certain
finish of style to distinguish it. II
reveals charming artistic skill. From
hill Miss Crothers sees romance ant
discerns the magic of love in the house

That the Chestnut Street Opera
House has the traditions of which Phil-
adclphia is so fond and yet can be
thoroughly up to date was proved last
night when its stage received back after
lapsc of more than thirty four years
Mot that once was the hit of season
in the form of n musical show That had
n cabaret and some of the newest of
acrobatic and other dances. Good
Morning. Judge" IA muSicaIized farce

"Thc Magistrate" reached Philadel-

| New York under the present title which
is supposed to be more consonant Xlth
! American ideas of musical comedy

The title, however. is about the only
thing American about the piece. Tho
book, which maintains the main out
lines of the Pincro farce-the second
theatrical composition of the author
and thc one that won him his first sue =
cess--is the contrivance of Fred Thomp
son, and the music was written by
/ Lionel Monckton and Howard Talbot
and the lyrics were the inspiration of
Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank, all
forming syndicate pretty well known
to American theatregoers through nu
merous entertainments devised for the
musical comedy stage. They have all
done their parts admirably. and the
result of their co operation pleased a
very large audience thoroughly:
The farce itself is also typicaliy Eng
lish. 1t is somewhat slow in move
ment, and the fun is the result of com
plications of plot and not of slang
epigrams and broadwayese, upon which
much of the humor of the characters
