The beautiful and intense play, a
Lady of Quality" with EugeniI
| Blair and her company will be seer
at the Burtis this evening. "A Lady
| of Quality" is a dramatization of Tho
well known book by that name writ
ten by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett
In the dramatization she was assisted
by Stephen Towensend. As heck il
was talked as much about as TiITby'
| and as play it has received rs much
public as any play ever written in our
time "A Lady OF Quality" with.Miss
Blair in the title roll, will prove one
of the events of the season.
The beautiful play, knobs O'Ten-
nesee" is to be seen at Harper 5
theatre Monday evening. Knobs
are the foothills of the mountains
therefore one can readily understand
the story of the play being laid in
Tennessee, and tho scope for exquisite
scenery which has been fully realized
in this production. The company is
especially selected for the fitness of
the parts. The entire production be-
ing under the direction of Lincoln j.
Carter,is an absolute guarantee to the
public that neither money nor energy
has been spared to make this beauti-
full play one of the successes of the
season. The play was written by Hal
Reid.
The most brilliant and interesting
theatrical event which tri-city theatre
goers can hope to look forward to is
the engagement of the great star tri-
umyirate-LouisJ James, Kathryn Kid
der and Frederick Warde-which is
announced for Tuesday evening ut
the Burtis. 1t will be the first asso-
ciate appearance of these three recog-
nized opponents of the Shakespearean
and legitimate schools, although, as
separate and distinct artists, they
have long been held in the highest es-
TEEN by those who lend an interest to
the drama in its best form. No three
actors of ability and rank in the dra-
matte profes sion can lie named who
have with more laudible ambition and
singleness of purpose aimed more
faithfully at the achievement of the
highest degree of artistic accomplish
ment in their profession than have
Louis James, kathryn Kidder and
Frederick Warde. The play which

1t is not often the melodrama
reaches the core OF human Gusa.on, but
We have in Just Before Dawn" which
will be seen here for the first time at
the Auditorium Thursday night, such
play. Just Before Dawn" which is
described as foremost OF Lincoln J..
Carter's plays, is filled with a homely
wit and pathos which touches all alike
Its bid for popularity is not alone
confined to the excellence of its text,
ut it is also based upon its new and
novel effects.
Mr.. Carter has fairly outshone his
previous efforts in devising an origi-
nal sensation which enters into the
theme OF the story and serves to carry
1t to logical sequence. He shows for
the first time on any stage a tremend-
Gus rock, weighing sixty tons which is
released from ITS rest on the mountain
side, by dynamite explosion and goes
crashing down into an abyss below
TIyln5 WIN It's uSSul uluCIloh uHpdiHl-
leled in the history of the mimic world
Nor does it stop at this, for the revib-
rating echoes of the rushing avalanche
enthralls the sense of the listener at
the accomplishment of so tremendous
an effect of sound and movement.
The presenting cast is said to be an
exceptionally clever one, the same that
gave the piece its first production.
There appears among the many well
known names comprising the company
Mr.. Hugh Gibson, who has fer years
been considered among the best of
Americas character actors. Mr.. Glib
son is also the author of "Just Before
Dawn" M. G. SEIPEL, Mgr.

MIR. Moody and His Power.

Thirty thousand persons in Kansas
Clty listened to Evangelist Moody, last
Sunday, and 1000 were turned away
for lack CT room.
Mr.. Moody seems to know how to
get people to go to church. What is
the secret of this singular power?
The preacher does net possess great ell
oquence, he is not learned, he neglects
the ornaments Of discourse and con-
fines himself to the homliest topics
The people flock to hear him because
he says what they like to hear. He
answers to need; he supplies a de-
mand.
Mr. Moody speaks directly to the
hear of the people. He discourses of
the vital concerns of life and sticks to
his point The speculative interests of
the intellect are ignored as mere lux
uries which do not enter into the real
question.
This is the same as to say that Mr..
Moody understands the people and
gives them what they want, what they
need. He is a master of persuasive
speech because he knows in what his
hearers deligh to be persuaded.-St.
Louis Post Dispatch.

OPPOSED TO REFORMS
Difficulties Attending Administra-
tion Of Justice in Cuba.
BHorts to Change the Spirit, Methods
and TechnIcalities of the Span
ish Law Not Heartily Up
held by CubRns.

The difficulties attending the admin
istration of justice in Cuba are point
edly brought out in reports to the judge
advocate general of the army, Gen. Lie
ber, whose annual report has just been
made public. Maj. Dudley, at Havana,
states in the course of report:
"The present situation here has no
exact precedent, in that, during a time
of peace, we are in temporary military
occupation Of q friendly territory, not
our own land, pledged to discharge the
obligations that may, under interna-
tional law, result from the fact of such
occupation, for the protection of life
and property, and TO withdraw from
the island so soon as a stable govern
ment of its own shall be established.
"The opposition to a complete change
of the spirit, methods and technicah-
ties of the Spanish law, as now main
tained in the system of 'Incommuni-
cado,' for example, is especially sur
prising. But though slow in coming,
the assertion of such personal rights
and liberties as are already enjoyed by
Americans under American law will
come sooner or later, as being essential
to free, self-governing people, such as
the Cubans desire to be-"
Maj. Dunn, judge advocate Of the
department of Santiago and Puerto
Principe, makes similar observations,
and says:
"The supreme law on the island of
Cuba is that of the supreme power, the
United States, and will be so long as an
American remains here under existing
circumstances, be that for one month
or forever"

Eyeglasses and Why.

The question is often asked, particu-
larly by those who cannot recall the
customs and experiences of twenty
five years ago "Why do so many per-
sons nowadays wear glasses?" The
answer Is easy: The increase in the
number of spectacles worn is not to be
regarded as an evidence of modern de-
generation of the eyes, but rather that
a long-felt necessity has been met. "
For d, should be remembered that
within the past quarter of a century
mucn has been learned about the VI e
of glasses, and the range of their ap-
plicatiOn and usefulness has been
enormously extended. or course, the
eyes need more help now than at any
previous period in the worlds history.
..e sewing machine and many other
inventions of its class save the labor
of the hands, only to add to that re-
quired of the eyes.
New employments, new amusements
and new fashions are continually being
introdced to increase the exactfons laid
upon these sensitive and delicate Or
gans. The steady decrease of litter
acy, together wi the general cheap
ness of literature and spread of taste
for 1t, the enormous circulation of
novel, magazine and newspaper the
ever-lncreasing use of artificial illum-
ination, all combine to overtax the
eyes, and to weaken or possibly de-
stroy the sight, unless the required aid
and protection be supplied through ev-
cry means at our disposal. Thus it
happens that the sometime luxury of
properly adapted glasses has come to
be recognized and understood by very
many of the present generation as one
of the real necessities OF their lives
