I.vrlc U heater last night The plat,
"Julius Caesnr," marked the opening of
the flntl week of the noted actor's np
peni.ince' in Mnkespcnrciu repertoire
Mr Mantell s Itrutus Is well known lo
students of tho stage It Is a Illicit
drawn picture of the noble Human who
Is torn bv his love for Koine on the one
linuil and his loto foi Caesar on tho
other The actor adheies to Ills earlier
Interpretation of the lole, evidently pre

Keith's
One of the strongest arguments against
war Is found In Marion Craig Wentworth'a
dramatic playlet, "The War Brides,
which is piesented at Keith's this week
by Alia Nttzlmova, tho celebrated por-
Mr Sun looked dottn on the world Just
ns smiling und pleasant as ever he had
'Good morning, eteibod'" ho said by
wav of groetlng: "this Is a fine daj '"
"Hear that1' eclilmed Timmy Gin
tail, Jumping up from his eleep and look
ing around, "the old sun sns it's going
to bo ft line da '"
No answer.
"Now where is that friend of mine"''
asked Timmy Gratail "f do hope Billy
Robin wasn't hurt b tint old storm
I wonder If I'd better hunt for him?"
But before lie could wonder any more.
Billy Iloblu himself called from a nearby
tree "HI, there, Timmy Gut tail1' he
shouted, "It's tlmo ou were up' This Is
a fine day and we must get bus "
"I know It Is a flue du," teplled Tlnint
Graytail, "old Mr. Sun told me about it,
and I was Just trlng to find ou to tell
ou it would be good But what da ou
want us to ;et to work at?"
"At tho spring"' teplled Billy Itobln,
tersely.
"At tho spring!" exclaimed Timmy
Gratatl in surprise, "what can we do
with the spring, I'd like to know? Any
way! I don't believe the spring is aa
neur as we thought it was, I believe it
was only fooling us all the time,"
"It wasn't fooling ME!" said Billy
Robin, "not a bit of It! I've seen spring
before, and 1 know what they do. What
this spring wants is helpers to encourage
it!"
Timmy Graytail gasped, "Of all fool
Istmess " he began in disgust. "Billy
riobln, I'm ashamed of ou! Talking
about the spring needing helpers) I
thought you had some sense!" And
Timmy Oratall turned awa. .
"Oh, I have sense, all right," said Billy
nobln, pleasantly, "1 hat's why I want
to help the spring. If wo woods creatures
talked about spring, and sang about
spring, I'm sure the spring would be en
couraged to stay."
Timm Graytail hesitated. "Sounds
reasonable," he said at last, "and I like
the Idea of helping the spring"
'Good for ou'" exclaimed Billy Itobln
"Now come into the forest and I'll show
jou how a spring is made " So they went
oft Into the forest determined to help the
season
