Moderation Is now considered the
salvation of this life. A splendid rule
for attaining longevity la summed up

statements:
"Other things being equal tt Is tha

moderation, who offsets mental :work
with physical recreation, who Is as

"The Prince of Pllsen" played at

the play, it "stood up" about as fol

Comedy,?good.
Plot,?entertaining.
8cenery,?fair.
Singing,?-excellent.
Girls,?good looking and other

Charles Horn, as Hans Wagner,
was extremely it.>??d in his part and
portrayed the "Ziminnatl" brewer to
perfection. Next to him, George L.
Myers, the Frcn? !t hotel keeper, dis
played the best talent. Edward T.
Mora, aa the real Prince of Pilsen.
and George Hall, os the English lord,
were also good. Estelle Blrncy car
ried off the "femlnie honors" with
ease while Marie Baldwin, as Ed!th,
the Vassar Girl, pleased the audience
with her excellent singing. Ella May

only fair in her part. Dorothy
Delmorfe, In the part of Jlmmle, thp
bell boy, was generally termed "cute'
by the audience.
The chorus work was above the
average and there were a number nf
uniqrue and handsome costumes ex
hibited.
A few m in a tee before the close of
the performance, several of the au
dience thoughtlessly arose from their
seats in order to get to the door first
and caused considerable annoyance
to those whb wished to soe the finale.
They rushed tbftttgh the aisles, msde
