I've ordered a taxi and we'll go home at once. T'll fire Katie in the morn- ing!

I knew that he did not belleve I had a headache, but his weighed less than a feather now that Dicky was with me. On one thing T was resolved. Head- ache, or no headache, I meant to tell Dicky everything that had happened since he had left me in the morning. He might be angry. I might have to endure another scene, but there should be nothing held baclk. Harry's “Kind Invitation.” I have always abhorred anything savoring of deceit. I felt that I could not endure the least shadow of it in my life with Dick The honk of a c “I guess there's you choo-choo,” drawled Harry Underwood. “I sav, Dicky, don't let this headache spoil everything.

The story in novel form had been read by over 100,000,000 persons in cd State Hal Cain’s star was the ascendant, his zenith had been reached and today the play has all those appealing qualities that it first represented. Mr. Cross is trying to offer to the New Britain public a series of play that have dramatic value, and vet are not lurid. - The Christian is a high class Melo-drama that clothed in refinement, and with a superior. cast, malkes it's impression as being a so- clety play. So one can understand what a very excellent drama Mr. Cross is offering next Monday. The Christian is written in logue, and four acts. The prologue is laid on the Isle of Man and takes place several years before the four acts of the play. Act I, is in a fash- London Music Hall ihere Quayle makes her concert debut. Act II is in the church of John Storm at Soho while Act IIT takes place in Glory’s apartments in London. In fact every chance is siven the producers to lay themselves out, and this they have done. Scenic artist Tuttle has painted four won- derful sets, and all the properties have been carefully prepared. The cast will be a notable one. Several members have plz play before. Mr. Cross will assume the role of John Storm, and there i no doubt but that he will fill it cap- ably. Ralph Collier as Drake and J. L Scott as Archdeacon Wealthy should excel. Mr. Vinton, Mr. Hen- ley, Mr. Scott, Mr. Jarrett and Mr. heffield, all have interesting char- acters. Miss Julie Herne, will play Glory Quale, and should make as big a hit in it as she did in “Within the Law.” The dear old Mrs. Caldener, will be played by Miss Morton, Polly Love by RBlsie Southern, while Let- tie, Nettie, Betty and Liza, will be played by the Misses Ruth Byron, Jordan, Brant and Municle..
