uRlue Grass" is spoken of as present
Inc in an interesting dramatic form, a
-r9nhic story Of life in the mountains and
sire grass regions of Kentucky. 1t pos
sos.es a number of dramatic surprises,
and in tone, treatment, literary quality
and development of character is thought
here to be far superior to the average
s NAV of its class.
The story tells Of young Kentucky
81 LAWYER. against whom there is black
mailing scheme arranged by a Creole and
81 Young woman with whom the young
LAWYER had once been in love. They en-
& Seayored to break up his home; but the

suspected of the crime and was arrested
and an effort was made to lynch him.
81 Finally the crime was fastened upon
Louis Berthelot, the Creole, and every
thing ends happily for the lawyer.

fined and delightful musical events that

rapid Advancement of Alexander Salvini
mas perhaps, no parallel case in the his
ory OF the American stage Within three
Years he has risen to a place among our
uoSu prominent stars. His supporting
Wmpany is one of the largest and strong
eSV IN this country, and the productions
ShlCh he presents have been endorsed by
le New York press as equal to those of

success of his recent extended engage
aeht at the Star theatre, New York,
even more than duplicated that of his two
