memories of GA Prince There Was

real workaday world.
George M. 'Cohan offered to Kenosha
in g A Prince There Was'' one of the
best playing companies ever seen on
the stage at the Rhode. 1t WASH t a
big company but it made up in quality
more than was missing in quantity.

Difficult role which she assumed in such
a natural and lovable manner that she
was easy the real star of the produc-

WoMAN's GREATEST PROBLEM.
To Be Discussed by DR.. Allison at the
Rhode Opera House on Satur-
day Afternoon.

DR.. George w. Allison, orator and
lecturer, will deliver his famous lee ture
on woman s Greatest Problem'' at
the Rhode Opera House, Saturday af-
ternoon the 21st
The subject is timely, and DR.. ALI
son s wide experience enables him to
handle most subjects with an insight
that quickly appeals and conv1nces his
auditors of the logic in his conclusions.
The fearless way in which he touches
on real home problems has made him
America s foremost lecturer to women.
Born in Texas, schooled in Central
Illinois, he left home at fifteen to make
his own way. For years he wandered
and worked his way over the greater
portion Of the United States, most of
the time being railroader, in one way
or another. Will ca FOSTERING good
fellow working IS yard master for the
Glover Leaf at Charleston, Illinois, he
had vision of larger life. Quitting
his job, he took wife and children with
him and worked his way through col
lege graduating with his doctor degree.
Out OF this strange school of expert
ence, he comes a quiet spoken, courte-
GUS and polished gentleman; with the
dignity BETTING his position, he com
Dimes an ease of manner born of the
freedom in the Middle West. He has a
charming personality that wins friend
ship of those whom come to know him.
In his particular style Of oratory, he
reminds us Of Bishop Qualle, especially
in combining dry humor with serious
minded discussion of fundamental facts.
Florida Folsom, prima donna of the
Boston English Opera company, will as
sist DR.. Allison Saturday. Her program
will include popular selections as well as
the more difficult operate scores. Her
technique is fanltless, her voice of the
sweetest imaginable quality, and her
personality in itself would carry an in
ferior singer a long way towards sue
cess without her other talents All
music lovers in Kenosha, should take
advantage Of this opportunity to hear
these melodies presented in the most
exquisite form by an artist of unques-
toned ability.

pany. They will issue reserved seats

Ash Wednesday, an Ancient Festival.
Ash Wednesday is so called from the
ancient Roman Catholic custom of
sprinkling ashes on the heads of those
condemned to penance On this day. The
ashes were those Of the palms burnt on
Palm Sunday of the preceding year.
The pessiIni were sprinkled with ashes,
the less offending were signed on the
forehead with the sign of the cross, the
officiating minister saying, "Memento,
homo, quia pulvis es, ct in puverem
5reverteris. !" The custom, it is said,
was introduced by Gregory the Great.
Lent (springtide) was the Saxon
name for March because in this month
there is manifest lengthening of the
days. AS the chief part of the great
fast falls in March, this period of fast
received the name Of the Lencten-
fasten, or Lent. 1t is from Ash We'd
nesday to Easter. The fast of thirty
six days was introduced in the fourth
