The Girl Left Behind Me-" an Amerl-
can drama by David Belasco and Franklin
Fyles, will be presented at the opera house
Thursday and Friday, March "a aud %,
with matinee Friday. The play is one
which appeals to the popular taste both
IL the plot, incident and setting. 1t is laid
at Northwestern military post, and the
characters are chosen with a single excep-
ton from the army and its followers and
from the Indian tribes of that region
love story in which the chief figures are the
daughter OF the commandant at the post
two young lieutenants. and the commander
himself forms the basis for a series of ex-
citing adventures. Kate Kenyon, the
young woman in question, is engaged 10
Lieutenant Morton Parlow, whom she docs
not really love. Lieutenant Edgar Hawks
worth is the man in whom her affections
center In a fofay against the Indians
Parlow shows the white feather. which
ltawksworth sees. Parlow pleads with
Hawksorth not to inform on him. and es-
capes for the time the disgrace hich his
cowardice merits. Meantime general
uprising of the Indians occurs and Parlow,
who tacitly and without the knowledge of
Hawksworth has placed the blame for
massacre OF several men upon his brother
ofhcer's shoulders, sees Hawksworth sent
on hazardous expedition, the object of
which is the relief of the post, which is
being surrounded by the Indians. OF
course Hawksworth succeeds in his brave
eiort the post is saved and poetic Justice
accomplished. A great variety of exciting
and romantic incidents are said to be dis
persed throughout the action OF the play.
which is rapid. logical and very cleveriy
handled.
