SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1908. THE MORNING ASTORIAK, .ASTORIA. OREGON Coming Attractions .v at JAMES J, COR SETT TONIGHT. Mr James J, Corbett, whose earn-! cut efforts in recent years as a player of parti, and whose success ha been quite sufficient to entitle him to con IdcrntUm at an actor rather than an a pugilistic champion, will come to the Astoria theatre tonight at the head of hi own company In I'I'acing the Music The engagement will he doubly .Interesting from the fact that Mr. Corbel t Is a primate favorite in thla city, and hi new play will give b,im abundant opportunity to demon strate his talents as a comedian. Those' who have heard Mr. Corbett in his highly humorous monologue will not have to be told that he is really a comedian. Much of the ef fect of liix humor is In its very drollness, and hi friends will readily agree that it will not tax Mr. Cor bett's resources, to maintain a fast pace in this distinctly funny play, In which he has been surrounded with a particularly capable .cast of. piny; eta, It will be remembered that "Pacing the Music" ; was originally produced in New York with Mr. Henry . Dixey in the principal character, and that it enjoyed a Ions run at the Madison Square theatre.; It was subsequently disclosed at Powers' Theatre In Chicago, where, it ran throughout the summer a few . years ago. Mr. Dixie became involy' ed in a. controversy with his man-' agemcnt and abandoned, the play. ; Last winter, Mr.' H.' ii, Vrazee, who entered intoa contract with Mr. Corbett under the terms of which the! latter was to be starred, decided that "Facing the Mulc" was just the play! for hi stalwart and handsome! charge. The work is by Charles j Henry Darnlcy, and the story, may be briefly told. In a Kensington flat there lived! two John Smiths, one a curate and i the other a sportively inclined young j man with a liking for the racetrack. Both the Mr. Smiths were married to young and attractive Mrs. Smiths,! and as both Mrs.) Smiths have been out of town and the curative Smith bas engaged a Kensingston flat dur ing his wife i absence, and as both j ' Mr. Smith' return unexpectedly and one of them late at night during a heavy fog1' 'and i shown into the wrong Smith flat, the complications' . vsncr vm imaguKa man ucscrio ed.

Joseph Sullivan, Cor win Luskmoor, Charles Horn, Tom Dare and the Misses Eleanor Mon tell, Amanda Hendricks, Lillian Les lie and May Dudley.

No play has ever won for itself so much human love an so much of true friendship from the whole public as Clarence Bennett's "The Holy City." It takes hold of the heart of the au ditor at once. It bears that magic spell-of genius that makes it real to an auditor. He at once forgets that it is a play and is carried away with its realism. Having once seen it, it ever after takes on a sort of person ality. It becomes to us like some person whom we have known and loved. We remember it, not as a play, but as an old friend, and, on tt return, hasten to grasp it by the hand and say: "Welcome!" It is the ONLY play that pleases EV ERYBODY. This is one' true mark of real genius in a drama. Another is that every time you see it again, you i find new and beautiful things that you had never seen in it before. This is one of the few plays that will live to delight our grandchildren and their children after them. A Notre Dame Lady' Appeal.

The first thing in the common sense creed is OBEDIENCE. Do your work with a whole heart. Re volt i sometimes necessary, but the man who mixes revolt and obedience is doomed to disappoint himself and everybody with whom he has deal ings. To flavor work with protest Is to fail absolutely. When you revolt, why revolt climb, get out, hike, defy tell everybody and everything to go to Hell! That disposes of the case. You thus separate yourself entirety from those you have served no one understands you you have declared yourself. But to pretend to obey, and yet carry in your heart the spirit of revolt is to do half-hearted slipshod work. People are always asking you to to follow their advice, but they are seldom willing to tell you which way it went. Freedom and truth are , Siamese twins. All that ministers to human happi ness is divine. A good man will ever respect you for an honest conviction; whether he agrees with it or not matters little. N.'.turc gives us facts, but it is for man to distil truihs from facts. Falling in love is a mater of inter mittent propinquity. The cure is propinquity. Fear, hate and prejudice deprive a person of the power to arrive at cor rect conclusions. To possess a beautiful voice you must be genuine. In theology belief has always been regarded as more important than that which you know. The joy of reading consists in self discovery. Leave off thinking your thoughts, and feeling of your feelings. Unstable eqilibrium is made stable by progressive motion. He who stands still is lost.' The strong man's reward lies in be ing strong. Is that not enough? Happy is the man who strays only in his sleep. Heaven is largely a matter of di gestion . Every trade and profession requires its whole man. The voice should be the sounding board of the soul An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness Think less about your rights, more about your duties. " Aim high and consider yourself capable of great things. . Action will remove the doubt which theory cannot solve. The sweetest thing on earth is the pleasure of pleasing. mm '.'I n M OF 1EO AND TERM8 TO 1 - il 11. Those who do the most in the world are those who love most. Any man who plot's another's un doing is arranging his own. The man who pursues pleasure will never catch up with her, Take off your hat to the man who minds his own business. It is what we think and what we do that makes us what we are. Character is the result of two things, mental attitude and the way we spread our time. Do not fear being misunderstood, and never waste a moment thinking about your enemies. Never do anything disagreeable, but seek even in your anger to please in whatever you do or say. A retentive memory may be a good thing, but to be able to forget is a true token of greatness. Don't tell about what you would do if you were some one else just shew what you can do for yourself.
