"Tenncascc's Partner.

Lovers OF meiodrama have a treat In
store for them next Monday and Tuesday
when ''Tennessee's Partner will occupy
the boards OF the Seattle theater. BY meIo-
drama is meant a naturally conceived and
coherently carried out play, containing in
teresting situations. exciting tableaux and
natural climaxes. The grotesque horrors
OF buzz saws. railroad wrecks and other
realism built by stage carpenters and
machinists have increased the artistic
value of the more enlightened school OF
melodrama to which "Tennessee's Pard-
ner" belongs.
