AT DAVIS THEATRE,
Dear Me.

Dear Me, a comedy by Luther Reed and Hale Hamilton, with music by John Golden, taking it's title from the whimsi- cal habit which April Blair. a philoso- phizing maid of all work, has of ad- dressing letters which she writes to her self, was presented at the Davis thea Ire Thursday evening before an audience that was the smallest of the season. The cast was the original company from Boston with Grace La Rue as April Blair and Hale Hamilton as Edgar Craig, who rescues April from her place as gen. eral slavGry in the home for artistic and literary failures and gives her "her chance which eventually results in her Triumph upon the stage. Eventually. too, April Ends that love leads her to the arms of Craig, and the comedy ends happily with a reunion dinner for the failures" who have all been led into yuccess through the application of April's gospel of happiness.
 The house warmed quickly to the art of Miss La Rue in her expressive speak ;ng voice and well balanced portrayal of the servant girl and the stage star, while >he distinctive and finished comedy work | of MT. Hamilton never failed to register | and there were insistent curtain calls fol l Ihe two stars. No small part of the interest of the play was sustained bl i the excellent work of Luis Alberni al i She French violinist. who also rises iron failure to success. The balance of thu well chosen cast included J. K. Hutchin son, George N. Prince, George Spelvin i Mart E. Kelsey Camilla Crume, Jame G. Morton, Max Prick, Robert Lowe, ] Charles LaFere, Baker Moore, Elva Nel l son and William Conway.

SYM PATTY

Sympathy should not be confused with kindness, a state or quality Of being kind or humane; for sucn mani- festation may be performed in sense of Guty rather than through real sym pathy", writes Dr. J. c. Bateson of scranton. Pa in the Medical Record.
 The very depth of sympathy that is in some people makes them appear uusvmpathetic. The heart l1nOweth it's own bitterness and a stranged med dleth no herewith, so that many peo- pie shrink from meddling with sor- row. Someone has pointed out that if you wish to do good to a certain class of people you must get under their skins: they will then feel your sym pathy. With the sorrowful and needy is found the open way to heaven $ gate.
 Tt is through suffering that we learn how to sympathize. Therefore it is not becoming to keep our alabas- ter boxes sealed until our friends are dead. Nor is it very helpful to offer conventional consultations, convention al prayers to those who are torn with iut0leTdble suffering. To Jobs comfor- ters Jobs question is suitable, How long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with words?
 sympathy is the active principle of the soul. it makes for the stability Of mans fellowship with man; it is the foundation of the Christian reli- ness equips those who recognize it's po- zion. and in it's simple, God given full session for all the capacities of a com, plets and beautiful life
