THE DALTON CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DEC. 2, 1909.
AMUSEMENTS.
“The Servant in the House.”
“The Servant in the House,” which
eomes to the Shubert Theater - for
three days’ engagement, commencing
Thursday, December 2, and including
a Saturday matinee, is a modern
comedy through which runs a well de
fined vein of pathos that occasionally
touches tragic significance. It tells of
a mysterious Indian bishop who enters
the home of an English clergyman,
disguised as a butler. At the end of
the play thfs servant in the house dis
closes himself as the Bishop of Ben
ares, the “Holy City” of India. And
it does not take an audience many
minutes to realize that he is some
thing more than “a bishop of God’s
church”—he is readily recognized as a
reincarnation of the Christ
When the curtain rises for the first
act a man clad in flowing Oriental
robes is seen-standing with his back to
the audience. After a few minutes of
conversation with the page-boy of the
household, who tells him that he can’t
help thinking he has seen him some
where before, this stranger from the
far east startles the lad by correcting
him for a petty offense which he had
committed while his back was turned.
“’Pon my word, Mr. Manson,” the boy
exclaims, “you give me the fair creeps
and no mistake.” “You will get over
that,” the other replies, “when you
know me better.” A moment later he
turns about and the audience sees that
this Manson bears a startling resem
blance to a well-known painting of the
“Man of Sorrows.”
Although the servant is frankly a
reincarnation of the Christ, the char
acter is treated so intelligently
and reverently, it is said, that no audi
ence is shocked. In fact, clergymen
indorse theplay as enthusiastically as
ordinary play-goers, and make it the
text of sermons in which they, urge
members of their congregations to see
the beautiful play. Its effect on ther
ater-goers in general has been remark
able. Critics have called it “the most
beautiful play of all ages” and “the
greatest drama since the days of
Shakespeare,” and the public has
shown equal enthusiasm. During -both
the New York and Chicago runs peo
ple were turned away from the
theater.
It will be given here by a cast
headed by Tyrone Power in his famous
role of the Drain-Man. Other mem
bers of the company include George
W. Wilson, Wilfred Roger, Edith
Crane, David Glassford, Jessie Glen-
dinning and Harold de Becker.—Chat

“The Servant in the House” will ap
pear at the Opera House here Thurs
day, December 9.
•J "The Golden Girl.”
“The Golden Girl” is a bunch of
happy situations linked with fetching
songs. As a production it is extraor
dinary and the presentation in after
noon and night performances at the
Opera House was admirable.
Stage settings and costuming ap
proach the gorgeous, and the company
ranks with the classiest ever seen here
in operatic comedy.
West Point is the scene of the en
tire action of the piece, and gives it
an attractive martial touch. Marked
igenuity is manifest in the crowding
ef so much melody, lyrics and scenic
effect into three hours. Lines are es
pecially clever, and the whole piece
sparkles.
Musical numbers which will run to
day in the thoughts of many were
“The Land of Used-to-Be,” “I Think
Hear a Woodpecker Knocking on My
Family Tree,” “Indian Love Song”
and “My Ship of Dreams.” Misses
Marie Flynn and Nina Davis , played
Dixie Columbia Curtis and Dorothy
Hale delightfully and their voices were
proved exceptional. Jimmy Lucas and
Franklin Farnum were honors, and
Charles Horn and Peter Raymond de
serve special mention.
Clever dancing was a feature of the
performance, and Joseph Niemeyer had
to respond to numerous encores. Mr.
Lucas improvised throughout the
piece and did not overlook the local
political situation in quips. The chorus
is strong and the young women above
The announcement of Mr. Russell’s

There is no permanent profit in deception.
This is an age of Candor.
It pays to be frank, open and above board with one’s customers.
This flim=fiam gum shoe work has proven unprofitable to those
who practice it. Modern business success depends as much on
confidence as upon merchandise and values, and the store that
would build confidence with others must first show confidence in
others. This is one reason why we publish the facts, figures and
policy of our business.
For instance—we previously gave out the fact that last year
we made an increase in sales of over $6,000 over previous year.
Last month our increase in sales over same month last year were
about $600.00 Now use your reason.
Such a huge increase in sales does not happen by mere acci
dent. We have had our goods right here where they are and have
