A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
"KnOw Thyself''

How can we know a mass of contra
dictions?
From all we hear and read our
thoughts we borrow;
Gay optimists today, cynics tomorrow;
Not always over-certain of convictions.
Sometimes we seem the earth's highways
to clod;
Sometimes essential even to creations;
All we can do is take life's daily
ration
And leave the knowledge OF ourselves
to God.

Irreverence.

Irreverence.
My grandsire left silver watch,
An heirloom valued greatly.
The hands moved on from notch to notch
And held pace so stately.
A treasure far beyond compare
No maid was ever trusted
To undertake the special care
OF keeping 1t well busted.
A small boy sought to drive tack
Oh, woeful is our clamor!
He grabbed that dear old watch, alack.
And used It for 4 hammer.

OBTlen, Claims 10 De Cne LABOR Cdn0lQate.
These labor leaders announced last
year they were willing to go along with
Franklin D. Roosevelt, but made 1t per-
fectly clear that they were not COM
mitted to the Democratic presidential
nominee in 1910. They said they would
look the situation over and get ready
for a candidate of their own when the
time rolls round. As they have been
some of Roosevelt's strongest allies, it
does seem as though it were time for
Chairman "Jim' Farley Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee to keep an
eye on what is going forward. Nothing
could be a better object lesson than
what is taking place today in New York
City. Jim" Farley is seeking to elect
Mahoney, the Democratic nominee,
Mayor of Greater New. York, and the
American Labor party, sponsored by
John L. Lewis, ETC., is backing La
Guardia This may not be cricket from
Mr.. Farley's point of view-which is that
the Democratic party is the real and only
friend of labor-but it certainly opens
plenty of surmises.
Senator Bob" La Toilette of Wisconsin
and his brother, the Governor, have been
also nursing along the idea of new ma
tional Progressive party, made up Of
labor and the farmers. They have such
party now in Wisconsin and have been
pretty successful with 1t. Over In Min

getting along pretty well, too. If these

Irish Play Due
Jonuory3 3

AS the fifth subscription play
of the season, the National
Theater will offer throughout
the week starting on Monday
evening, January 3, the dis
tinguished English star, Sir
Cedric Hardwicke in a valiant
and powerful play entitled
SHADOW and Substance. This
drama from the pen Of Paul V.
Carroll, caused a tremendous
sUir in the dramatic world when
first produced by the famous
Abbey Theater Players in Dub
lin in January, 1887.
Many leading theatrical man.
ayers were eager to secure the
American rights to Shadow
and Substance" but the plum
finally fell into the hands Of
Eddie Dowling. Surrounding
Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Mr.. Dowl-
ing has gathered an especially
fine group of prominent artists,
including two featured players
OF special renown, Sara Allgood
and Julie Hayden, while the
whole supporting cast Is truly
of stellar renown, including
William Post, Jr., Valerie Cos
sart, Harry Sothern, Lloyd
Cough, Gerald Buckley, John
Kearney and Almira Sessions.
The production has been
directed by Peter Godfrey.
Shadow and Substance" IS
said to be a play compounded
of stirring qualities interpreta.
tive Of the best in Irish life to-
day-it is described as flowing
smoothly, Interestingly to strong,
vibrant climaxes that stir the
heart Of every beholder. There
is also promised a constant
warmth Of atmosphere and a
coating Of humour that adds
tremendously to the effective
ness Of the piece.
Sir Cedric Hardwicke is well
and most favorably known to
American audiences; last season
he appeared in two Broadway
presentations, Promise" and
"The Amazing DR.. Clitterhouse,"
and he has also scored hits in
numerous Hollywood pictures.
Miss Allgood is known as one
Of the principal mainstayS Of
the world-famed Abbey Players,
and she, too, has also won fame
in the pictures. Although
briefer, Julie Haydon's career
hes been glamorous, for in
quick succession she has as
sumed a conspicuous place both
in the legitimate theater and in
pictures.
