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'

that keeps the audience in a state of
hilarity, ranging from a polite titter
to a boisterous guffaw and culminat
ing every now and then in enthusi
astic applause. As John Smith the
sportively inclined flat dweller, Mr.
Corbett ought to give a good account
of hiinoelf. Among the prominent
member of the supporting company
are the Messrs. Joseph Sullivan, Cor
win Luskmoor, Charles Horn, Tom
Dare and the Misses Eleanor Mon
tell, Amanda Hendricks, Lillian Les

and complete scenic equipment has
been provided.
THE PEOPLE ITS FRIENDS.
Astoria Theatre, Monday, Nov. 16th.
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.

ROYCRAFT PHILOSOPHY.
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.

Don't tell about what you would do
if you were some one else just shew
what you can do for yourself.

The street car system of the city of
Mexico la a fine one, but here- la one
arbitrary rule that stranger mnat
learn as soon aa possible that K the
car do not stop except at certain
points, where you will notice the elec
tric light poles bare a Land of white
