The enthusiasm Of the promoters of the
drama, 1.-THE Heroine of 49," has caught
fire and there promises to be a large and
enthusiastic audience on Friday and Sat.
urday at the new Seattle theater to wit
ness its presentation here. The drama is
full of the spirit and dash that belongs to
the Pacific coast people and the stirring
time it so faithfully represents. The war
whoop of the wild savage is heard again.
Many q stout heart was made to quail,
many a noble man fell, and many whole
families were wiped from of the face of
the earth by this same war cry that the
sturdy Argonauts had to defend them
selves against as nobly as is represented
in this drama.
The saying that q prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country" has
been reversed in the way in which this
play has been received, there having been
as much enthusiasm displayed over it as if
it had been brought from the East. The
Pacific coast people know q good thing
when they see 1t.
The interest shown in the play by lead
ing people is shown by the following:

sages which the tribe sent aloft. Another
winter passed, and when the buds began
TO APPEAR on the willows. the chief was
seized with the fatal malady that had pre-
vailed over twelve moons before The med

prone TO the ground at dusk and were on
their journey to the happy hunting
grounds when the dew fell at early MORN

spirit, as the tribe called her. for she
brought water and food to the sick and
watched them until they died. Her cheeks
grew sunken and she faltered as she went
from lodge TO lodge. but her fortitude and
patience did not desert her. The malady
spared such kindly creature. In her
primitive philosophy she knew death was
a foe to be battled; TO surrender in despair
meant cowardice foreign TO the blood that
flowed in her veins from the veins of her
ancestors The men of the tribe believed
demon had come up from the muddy river
TO scatter all this woe. and they coun-
seled TO propitiate this new unknown. One
day they danced On the banks OF the river
and hcwled n manifestation of their
prayer for pity. The chiefs daughter saw
the dance from little knoll. She had no
great faith in the petition. yet when a
canoe appeared out on the river just be-
yond the swirling eddy that made onslaught
on a projecting point she arose and shout
