"The Servant in the House.""Walter Hampden appeared last even¬

ing in Charles Rann Kennedy's symbolicplay, "The Servant in the House," at

the Shubert-Garriek Theater* and forhis strong ana finished portrayal re¬

ceived an ovation at the close of theperformance. The forcefulness of theeharacttv or "Manson, a butler." was

go inufl part of yir. HampdenthrouffAbut the play that his very"prertl^Vn was felt." His reading of thelines "teas beautiful, the many stingingrebukes being softened somewhat bythe gentleness of a well modulated voiceand expression of face.Mr. Hampden was supported by a well

balanced and excellent company. Thecharacters of the play were made livingcreatures, like hundreds of -ordinarymortals of yesterday, today and tomor¬row, and with a naturalness that is re¬markable. The mercenary Bishop ofI-ancashire was played by HannamClark, with the realistic blundering of

".one afflicted with bad sight and bad' hearing, giving a lightness now ^andthen by humorous blunders, which werenever overdone. William Sauter, as

I, the Rev. William Smythe, was eon-

vincing as the easily led but misguidedj vicar: Auntie, his wife, was played: by IClsie Herndon Kearns. who wasstubbornly determined to "win in spite

: of everything." Her work in the last$ act. when she "melted" from the ada¬mant. uncompromising, to the more gen-

. tle and tolerant woman, was gracefully?and naturally done.

Mary, the vicar's niece, was playedby Mabel Moore with the spontaneity ofyouth, with all its trusting, believing inthe best. Miss Moore was none the less

_ dramatic in the scenes with the father,Robert Smith, played by Krnest Rowan,who made the most of his part andbrought out the rebukes and lessons inwhich it abounds. Le Roi Operti. as

Rogers, a page boy, was delightfulwith his cockney English and his ownpeculiar philosophy, typical for thecharacter and walk of life he protrayed.The performance was in every way

finished.Mr. Hampden will present "The Tam¬

ing of the Shrew" this evening.

Wny Guess About it.

When You Can Know About It?Suppose a guide said.

"This way there's a safe and pleasant roadto your destination, with no risks or troubles on

the way," and."That way there's a road that a good many

have stalled on and turned back from, but you mayget through."

Which would you take?

Pcstum is a thoroughly agreeable and satisfy¬ing meal-time drink, and you're sure that it's per¬fectly safe for health. Coffee contains drug qualitieswhich disturb and harm the health of many.

Postum or coffee? Which road?

Why guess when you can know?Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly

in the cap by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packagesof larger bulk; for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal isbeing prepared) made by boiling for 20 minutes. Sold by all grocers.
