A prominent physician and sur

his perfect display Of the sufferings
of victim of this terrible malady.
It was impossible to distinguish him
from one who actually had the di-
sease. William Babe" Townsend
as the physician was up to the stand
ard and he "reeled" off medical
information that was staggering.
The play is really plea for birth

oLDEN's GREAT EFFORT.

The play of "The Unborn" was a
veritable wonder. No drama in the
memory of the Oldest resident of
this city ever equalled this one. Ida
Anderson went bow.-shot beyond
her previous amazing renditions.
Rupert Marks as the husband was a
success. Charles Olden took leap
into the upper atmosphere of dra-
matte fame. His portrayal Of the
epileptic was masterpiece and left
the audience practically breathless
with astonishment and admiration.

THAT "LovE-LEss" HUSBAND.

William "Babe" Townsend as the
revengeful lover and the 'flove-less'
husband was an absolute success. AS
for Rupert Marks as the grand
father, he puzzled the audience and
scored transcendent praise, while
Mrs. Townsend as the grandmother
was fully up to the standard. When
she had to send her own husband
to kiss Ida Anderson, those who
knew the relationship between them
smiled broadly, but there was no
hesitation on the part of either Of
the principals. They were there to
execute their parts and they per-
formed the service.

She was rapturously applauded.
Hilda Thompson is especially fitted
for the part she portrays and some
way and somehow, she assumes that
nonchalant air which is peculiarly
appropriate. Charles Olden as Jim
Plunkitt was a matter OF astonish-
ment. He dropped from the sublime
performance in other plays to the
ridiculous in displaying the charac-
teristics of Jim Plunkitt and won
applause from all quarters. Theresa
Brooks as the cripple was as near
perfection as any one portraying the
character could be.

James Faulkner, well known political
writer, used to say, speaking of state
administration, "the expenses Of the
present administration are little
higher than those of the previous adj
ministration, and the expenses of the
previous administration were little
higher than those of the one preceding
it, and it will ever be thus despite
all the prediction campaign noise
and promises of economy" The Press
predicts right now that when the pres
ent administration retires from office
it's successors will make the same
claim as all former administrations
have made upon assuming office.
Mayor Kelly will find out, however
just as all his predecessors have
found, that there are lot of unrea-
sonable people. Many voted for him
in November because they believed in
his election they would get cheape,
gas and water. All the explaining ir
the world will cut no figure with
these people. They don't bother about
expenses for conducting city affairs
what they want is cheaper gas ane
water, and-"that's what we elected
Mayor Kelly for" is the stand the.
seem to take and that is all there i:
to it-with them.
