displayed, Gladys Wallis took TO her lit

drama, Shenandoah, will be performed.
The stirring war play is too well known
to need much comment. 1t contains three
love stories. and the exciting scenes amid
which the wooings occur add greatly to
their zest and interest. One somber
touch comes through the fortunes OF Gen.
eral Haverill, a middle-aged regular army
officer on the Union side. who has just
married for mis- second wife lady some
what younger than himself. Immediately
before the play begins the general s son is
supposed TO have disgraced himself by an
EN- bezz zlement. He is defended bv his
stepmother, and in disguise and under an
assumed name serves as a lieutenant in
his fathers brigade, finally dying of his
wound after successfully conducting a
very dangerous military expedition.

excellence, and were only discontinued on
account of Mr.. Beei's departure for
Europe.
