Dream of Heaven

"What heaven is, / know not; but
I long have dreamed of its purple
hills and it's fields of light blossom
ing with immortal beauty; OF Its
brooks of laughter, and Its rivers of
song and it's palace of eternal love.
| long have dreamed that every bird
which sings it's life here, may sing
forever there in the tree of life and
every consecrated soul that suffers
here may rest among its flowers and
live and love forever. l long have
dreamed of opal towers and FURNISH
ed domes; but what care ] for gates
of pearl or streets of gold, if l can
meet the loved ones who blessed me
here, and see the glorified faces OF
father and mother and the boy broth
er who died among the bursting buds
of hope, and take in my arms again
my baby who fell asleep ere her little
tongue had learned to lisp, Our
Father who art in heaven What
care | for crown of stars and harp
of gold, if l can love and laugh and
sing with them forever in the smile
of my Saviour and my God. "-(Gov.
Bob Taylor.)

A most unusual and interesting
dual role portrayal is to be seen at

Witzel in "White Cargo" which had
an unusually long run at DAILY s
Theatre as one of the New York
stage hits.
Hohl was chosen for at Is the

had created the difficult double role
in the original stage production OF
the same name.
And what a treat it was to see

the other, of the two he portrays, as
the scenes progress. One time ne is
