Gus miscellaneous issues also were ma
teriallly higher.

America leading actor-singer, Fiske
O'Hara, is underlined for an early ap-
pearance at the Opera House Dec. 13,
in a new romantic comedy Of Irish
life, in three acts, entitled "Springtime
in Mayo, and written by Anna Mich
OILS Duffy, "Springtime in Mayo" is
said to- be fine vehicle for the bril-
liant talents of MI! O'Hara and ac-
cOrding to advance criticisms it easily
takes it's place in the front rank in the
successful plays. Many Of
the situations will make you laugh
in good old way without straining
at exotic humor. Mr.. O,Hara is the
fortunate possessor of one Of those
rare tenor voices that make you glad
or sad, as the spirit of the number in
and in "Springtime in Mayo,
the songs provided for him are among
the best he has eyer had. The tour
is directed by Augustus Pitou Inc,
and the supporting company plays
with taste and power to convince.

In France, Clemenceau, whose life
since 1871 has been hope, work and
prayer for the deliverance of France,
was repudiated and sent to private

when you occupy an upper you have

wise you to take the lower, although,
