hint as to the identity of the stranger

far as it went, his description fitted the
new farmhand-just as it probably fit
ted half the tramps in that region.
While the story threw suspicion upon
the fellows motives. and might prove
most useful as warning, it was not, of
course, in itself sufficient to warrant
demand for his discharge. The out

possibility of new complication in his

Madame Sans Gene at the Grand on
Monday Night
When Madame Sans Gene was first
produced in New York, after its i'm
mense Paris and London successes,
with Miss Kidder in the title part she
had before her the difficult task of
playing and compelling success
against the original for it was at the
same time being produced in the origi-
nal French by the famous French COM
edy actress who created the part, Nine
Rejane, at a theater almost within
stones throw. But Miss Kidder was
equal to it and came out of the rather
novel contest with coIors flying
The comedy part of the piece re-
wolves about the character of Sans
Gene who. a Iaundress in the first pro-
lOgue, becomes afterwards a duchess Of
the court of Napoleon, retaining the
manners of her first position The only
criticism that has yet been OHered OF
the piece is that the translator gives
to Sans Gene the slang of the present
American time instead of the slang of
the time of Napoleon.
Miss kidder is in Kansas City now
and the Star says of the performance.
q Madame Sans Gene is sumptuous-
" staged. The two great rooms repre-
senting apartments IN a palace are
massive and ornate enough to fully
impress one with their verify. The fur
niture is of the period and the gowns
and uniforms are rich, beautiful and
numerous The company required is
very large and thoroughly adequate.
THE glimpse given of Napoleon is Of
the intimate sort and gives him no roy
al prestige He quarrels with his sis
tiers. he is jealous of his wife and he
