It is an excellent ‘appetizer for the holidays joys that are approaching and contains anti blues treatment in allopathic doses. The Lyceum Play- ers are producing a treat this week for those who appreciate an evening in which daily cares can be thrown aside and the light side of light brought vividly to the front. They need have no excuses to offer for this week's production at the Lyceum theater and offer a boon to tired hu- manity, troubled and weary through Christmas shopping. The plot is the lightest part of the production, there being just enough of the connecting threads to hold the vehicle together and prevent it from falling flat. Humor, laugh- ter and a vortrayal of the funny side of life are the cardinal points and they are ausmented until they leave no room for the glooms. The jovs hold the stage from the first rise of the curtain until its final drop. Ap- plause is generous for a number of the musical numbers, the type that causes one to keep time to the catchy airs and hum the haunting melody. Walter Wills, as is expected, makes himself the center of attention, and creditably plays the role of Prof. Ebenezer Dodge, a typical edicator of the old-school type, lovable, ab- sent minded and liftle familiar with worldly things outside of the class room. As principal of the muythical Dodge academy, he enters and is a candidate for the general assembly. All can appreciate the wonders that he experiences in his campaign ‘and how easily advantage of. It is necessary to fol- low his campaign and activities to appreciate the situations that teem with humor. William Meehan, in the role of Ab. ner Sanky of the Watch and Ward society, gives a realistic portrayal of v in politics. He and the have a nip and tuck time make things lively. Ralph Sip- must have lived in the ‘“hick for he has the characteristics of the ‘“‘peanut politiclan” down to a nicety. He appears in the role of Sheriff Ketchum, member of health, police and numerous boards. There are other Lee Daly, Franklin Smith and Tom Gregory, who appear in the parts so necessary to the portrayal of small- town life. A musical “Girls Will complete without a the faix sex. good dancers and pretty faces. well taken care of as the Geo Campbhell, teacher of society who writing a book, may not be as fair as one would like in the makeup but is more than fair in the portrayal of her part.

But for all Nicoll's likeableness and all my magnanimity, I swear I coudn’t quite pull off an evening as his guest with you the topic of our mutual talk. So we exchanged to- bacco, shook hands and said by-by. Then I came upstairs, switched on the lights all over the flat to make things seem less dull, fed the cat, plaved your favorites on the foot- piano, read the evening papers (and your letter for the —th time) and sat and thought.
