ON Friday and Saturday evenings and Sat
urday matinee sees the highly praised and
mu h-talked-of Alabama" Mr.. Augustus
HON American play, on the stage of the
Academy of Music.
One OF the most winsome characters IN
Alabama is Carey Preston. PLAYED by Miss
Ienton. She Is the granddaughter of Colonel
Preston Mr.. Bangs. Though knitted
together by the strongest affection they are
absolutely opposite IN every feature OF char
acier. Carey IS q true Southern maiden. She
has never been outside The limits oil her plan
tatiOn home. and Is refreshing IN her simpli-
CITY, graciOueness and purity as the perfumes
OF the flowers that bloom everywhere about
hei. She falls in love with young Armstrong
% dward Bell a Northernor and the logged
old grandiather. still full of bitterness for the
lost cause. naturally opposes the union.
The lOve scene between the two young per-
SONS is q graceful and poetic bit OF dialogue
IL occurs IN q flower garden. and the girl
stands listening with pair of shears in her
hand.
Armstrong: title woman. every artist who
has tried 10 put on canvas or On stone his
ideas oi the fates has pictures one OF them
holding pair OF shears. Just a. YOU hold
these. just as. with pre-, sure OF those little
fingers you can turn the tide OF human life
Mis- arey don't look down.
VI ss Carey looking up Mr. 'rmstrong?
AmstrOng ! am very much IN earnest.
Carey. on have known me only week.
Armstrong / have been with you only
week but have known you always.
Carey. Know ne

once wrote There are words that have loved
each other since the birth Of the language
and when they meet that Is poetry
Carey Yes.
Armstrong: There are ives that have been
in rhyme always. and when they meet that
is love. .ove you Carey re,tou.
Carey Carchly But are there no girls in
Boston
Armstrong; Yes -a-few-but- they're in
Boston
Carey smilingiy) On.
