"A Mstsag# From Mars." When Richard Ganthony wrote Ills comedy. "A Message From Mars," he i nose to exploit as his leading char acter one of the most selfish men to be found upon earth. He advanced a step r two In the science of astronomy at the same time. He Introduces a mee- senger from the planet Mare to teach the nuiii of the earth a lesson In self- indulgence. and to forcefully convey to him the necessity of being considerate f others. Thle play has the reputation of being not onlj tn\ but Indeed women less thoughtful of theraeelves, and more Interested 1n those who are ca>t upon the harder lines of life.

BUSIER BROWN AND TIGE ARE 7HE REAL, REAL THING Resolved: That Burner Brown In an awfully good flhow and Master Jimmie Rosen Is an an fully good "Buster.” When the clever little pee-wee, Mas ter Gabriel, held forth In all his glory last year as the ideal stage personlflcn- ttou of Outcault'a, famous creation, theatergoers opined there would never be another actor who was at once small enough nnd clever enough to portray the character as he did. And the same was thought true of George All, as "Tlge." It’s just another Instance of theatri cal "dope” gone wrong. If Master Rosen could huve been stuck tn the colored supplement of a newspaper, he would have been aa "Busterlsh" as (Jutcault'a own Buster. "I am glad to see su many boys and girls In the' audience,” said Rosen, In response to repeated curtain calls Fri day night, "and 1 am glad that so many of you brought your parents along. That's right, be kind to your parents, children. They are hard to get along with soihetlmes, but then they don't know any better. Overlook their faults. When they spank you, as they will do on occasions, don't forget that It hurts them worse than It does you— only, not tn the game place” Jack Bell, as "Tlge,*' Buster s dog, crowded the little star for flrst honors. Bell Is about an "doggish” as a man can get to be. Add little Miss Leila N'autna. as "Mary Jane," and there's "threes” that ought to beat a full house. The chorus Isn’t pretty. The chorus, numerically speaking. Isn't large. But then Buster Isn't large, either, so there. Buster will "resolve” some more at the Grand Saturday matinee and night, and to think what ths Uttlo folks have coming tn them at that matinee enough lo make groTm-upHnirn green with envy. J.- D.
