Its presentation was excep- tionally good and the stage settings ‘were appropriate and attractive. The Lie, or one sister’s sacrifice for anoth- er, is an intensely dramatic story. Shielded in time of trouble by her older sister, Lucy Shale thch turned around and through base misrepre- sentation stole from her sisted Elinor the man she loved. And when her misrepresentation was discovered ‘her own future on the verge of colapse, Elinor again came to the rescue, not this time for Lucy, but out of regard for the feelings of the man Lucy had taken from her. Emma Myrkle ably portrayed the role of Elinor and Ruth Amos appeared as the ungrateful Lu- cy. The role of Noel Dibdin who was largely respdnsible for Eiinor's most unfortunate predicament was excel- lently carried by Jack*Bertin. James Dempsey was exceptionally good - in the part of Sir Robert Shale, elderly grandfathea of. the Shale sisters. OBITUARY. Mrs. Ludwig Dierman.

Dear Folks: Another fifteen long days on the briny deep and we are again in port, but a good many miles from the last one and one we have not been in be- fore. Inclosed you will find some cards that will tell where we were when this was written. I am surely seeing the world, and some war, too; enough of it over here—you bet! Our last trip was a very fine one with the exception of the first four days, when it was so rough that we had to stand up to eat our canned stuff; too rough even to cook. Half the crew was seasick; not I. I haven't had that experience yet—haven't miss- ed a meal since I've been in the service, nor a pipeful afterwards—that's a good sign of no seasickness. I've never felt better or looked better (you know I always was handsome). ‘Well, for news I have none—pardon me, I have enough to fill a volume but am not peymitted to write it. - It-is sufficient -to say that I am well and enjoying life. The weather is glorious and that helps out a lot, you know. Have not received any mail here, of course, not being our headquarters, but do expect a lot when we get back about April 10th. ‘Will visit the largest city in the world the next three days, as I have a special leave of absence for that time.
