dents OF the successful new comedy drama
"a Romance of Coon Hollow" are laid.
The story told is strong and pretty, deal
ing with incidents in the lives of typical
southerners, and the characters are neatly
sketched with all of those felicitious little
touches thai made "Blue Jeans' famous.
The strength of "Coon Hollow" lies in its
humanity. Georgia, Clyde Harrod and
Lear Stockwell are people one often meets
In a days travel In that part of the
country, while all of the other characters

acme of stage realism is cache in the
race between the steamboats, Robert e.

A unique electrical effect makes one of
the scenes particularly strong. Besides a
complete metropolitan company, "Coon
Hollow" carries a plantation brass band.
