Scenlcally, the production la said to be one of the most complete and beautiful and one of the largest productions on the road.

The com pany is composed of twenty two actors of note and the fact that Mr. Berber, so long Identified with the late Sol Smith Russel, Is the manager, assures a production that Is first class In every particular. Mr. Berger has bought the American rights of the piece and the company that will be sen in this city Is one of the best that has ever presented a play, including Walter Law, the eminent young English actor who appears as "Marcus Superbus," prefect of Rome. Archbishop John J.

Kain of St Lou la, says: 1 am led to the conclusion that 'The Sign of the Cross' is a theat rlcal performance which all may witness, not only with pleasure but also with profit It seems to awaken sentiments akin to those excited in the soul of the Christian by the famous TaasionPIay Many Christians have an aversion for the theatre, and unquestionably there is good ground for auch aversion and condemnation. But In 'The Sign of the Cross' Mr. Barrett presents a play which will as fully merit the approval as so many other plays deserve the condemnation of professing Christians. I cannot but express the hope that this is but one of a series of dramas on the same line." Mr. Berger is In possession of over two hundred autograph letters from some of the most prominent clergy i i lT.il ASOH.

Since Polly Chase 'made famous her pink pajamas In "The Liberty Bells" about fire years ago, the pajama girl has been in her prime. Like most fads, however, it reaches its tenlth and then like the proverbial sky rocket, comes down kaplunk. Its fading was more quick and decided than that of the almost "Ancient History" bicycle, but with the determination of a Kuropat kin or a General Stoessel, there still remain two young women who are ardent devotees of the famous pajama. As stubbornly as the Russian generals whose names are quoted above they are contesting every inch of retreat or what they claim, the real convenience for night and warm weather apparel.

The two firm defenders of these sus penderiess trousers are Harriet Train or of the "Miss Bob White" company and Florence Walton of "The Strollers" company. The company In Jumping from Pittsburg to Philadelphia had secured sleepers, but as the porter was busy at the station he did not notice the passengers and you can imagine his surprise upon entering the car and finding a bunch of pajamas strolling around "at lib." Of course the company's ticket called for so many ladles and so many gentlemen and when the conductor and he came to check up, they had to give it up as a1 bad Job. To this day they could never tell who was who. M. DELIGHT BAR8H.

The antics of' smaat boys are also sources of constant trouble to the shooter as a tin can, clever1 ly lodged among the wires, will usual' ly serve to put several lines "out of business." The trouble shooter Is caller upon ta make repairs Indoors as. well as out. Lightning arresters placed where the lines enter buildings are frequently burned out and the rats gnaw telephone wires as well as pieces of cheese.

But often the troubles are due to queer performances of the telephone users themselves. It once took trouble shooters In the local offices some time to locate trouble In a residence telephone. It was finally discovered that the woman of the house had stuck a hair pin Into the lightning arrester that she might not lose the pin. In another case a fond mother explained that "Jimmy had pulled off one of the strings and the telephone would'nt talk." Without the trouble shooter the telephone service would be frequently interrupted. With his assistance the company wages ceaseless warfare against the destructive elements.

Often a telephone Is discovered to be out of order and the repairs completed without the knowledge of the subscriber. It is constant attention to the lines that makes good telephone service possible and the trouble shooter of the telephone company must awake night and day ready to attend to the slightest difficulty.
