AMUSEMENT
What the Little Rock Papers Say of
the Twelve Temptations"

The fact that Yale's Greater
Twelve Temptations" drew large
audiences at the Capital Theatre
yesterday afternoon and night
would seem to indicate that Lit
tie Rock theatre-goers are fond of
spectacular shows In the main
their expectations were realized in
the production seen by them.
The scenery costumes, proper
critics, effects, songs, ballets and di-
alogues in the Twelve Tempta-
tions" are adequate to satiate the
most inordinate appetite, and
though there was at times a hitch
in the transformation scenes, ev-
erything ran along as well as could
be expected on a one nights stand.
The dramatic cast includes some of
the best talent seen here this sea-
son, among whom may be mention
Miss Mai Estelle as Hubert. Miss
Ida Dexter as Zero, the snow
queen, Miss Madge Torrance, the
sun queen, and Gus Brono, Jr., as
Sonoro Apropo. The four Rosaries
are wonderful acrobats.

WHAT is IT.

Why is it impossible for any OF
Mr.. Cleveland's admirers to point
to any act of his which has been
beneficial to the country Because
he has performed no such act.
Why does Mr.. Cleveland propose
to improve the credit of the United
States by increasing our foreign
obligations? In the same way that
dishonest debtors borrow all they
can before filing a petition in bank
r rlptcy..
Why does Mr.. Cleveland think
that the more debt that he can pile
up on the United States, the more
credit the government will haveY
Because the only way to .test the
credit of the government to the
utmost limit is to overwhelm the
people with debt.
What is the difference between
the man who procures fraudulent
legislation to make money scarce,
and the man who plays confidence
game on his neighbor. The former
robs every producer of wealth for
the benefit of extortionists and
gold gamblers, while the latter
deprives a single individual of a
triaing amount OF his property -
