the principal figure of a more than usually alluring girl-and-music shows called “Tickle Me” which ought to console him, if he needs consolation for any decline in his powers to get the same quality of laughter that he used to. } OT the least bit heroic, rot strongly humorous, there is quaint charm about the acting of Mr. William Hodge. It has a slight suggestion of the combined humor and pathos which made the late Sol Smith Russell in some of his parts one of the most lovable actors on the American stage. To such qualities a great play is not needful and “The Guest of Honor" is quite sufficient to Mr. Hodge's requirements. It gives him as foils a child, s decayed newspaper man and a pretty girl to be the objects of his universal affection which even- tually wins to him every one, including his ene mies and the audience. The combination of play and acting is not thrilling or intensely moving, but it provides pleasant and wholesome entertainment.

He is a Villa with a sense of humor and a bit of gratitude for his only virtues.
