Club will present its annual Tacatra| Night production at the Grand Opera House. The Club feels that it has | made a. panticulariy happy choice | this year in the play 'The 'mport- | ance of Being Barnest," by Oscar | Wilde, which was characterized by | the author in his own apt way as "a trivial comedy for serious people." | "The Importance of Being Earnest," | was first produced at the St. James' | Theatre, London, on. February 14% 1896, and ever since has enjoyed a wide popularity among play readers as well as theatre-goers the world | over. It is full of humorous scenes aad abounds in those witticisms and! brilliant epigrams for which Oscar | Wilde is famous. Nor would it be | true to describe the play as entirely | "trivial." It has the faculty of mak- Ing one think while one laughs. The| caste Is one of unusual excellence, | and its Interpretation of this master- | plece of wit and epigram should not | fall to please the most exacting cri- tics. Those who attend Theatre | Night will not fail to be Interested | In the frantfc 'eleventh hour at-| tempts of the staid John Worthy and | his gay friend, Algernon.

AT THE GRAND THEATRE A IHS WEST Are you a victim of fond parents | to give you a name that is different? | Bome mothers and fathers ought to| ave to carry through life the aw- fn titles they "wish" on their off-| springs. In next week's comedy, "His Ma- Jesty," "Rex" is cursed with first name of "Bunker" and his sur- | tame is, "Bean." In addition he is| cursed with a timid disposition... . | (strange, you say, for Rex? We agree with you, but you see this is | only in the play, and Rex is a great | enough actor to make his public be- lieve that he might be timid). Now | I ask you....How can a man with | & handicap of a name like that, and | added to the name a shrinking dis- | position get anywhere in this busy! world, even though he be filled with | ability and ambition? In this case, Mr. Bean, 'or "Rex", | Wished that he might know that in | the days gone by, he might have been some great man, and that the present Mr. Bean was merely a re- incarnation of said Napoleon or Cea- sar, and with that thought firmly planted he could, without a doubt, "Turn the World on It's Axis." A grafting fortung-teller, learning of this secrét fad of his arranged to sell him a mummy of one of his late la- mented ancestors, one King of Egypt, which once in his passession trans- forms him from a timid, shrinking bue efficient stenographer, to one of the world's big business men. The fach that the mummy was made in 80 me's basement does not appear until after he has made his mark. ._ The name of the story, or the mor- al of the play, only goes to show that We are as big as we think we are, and also we are as small as we wish to imagine ourselves.

Sitting before his desk, smiling amiably, he talked away, for unlike his brother, Al, he was, as he expressed it, "the talker of the family."
