HEART OF MARYLAND"
An Excellent Production of a Realistic Mil
-itarv Drama.

An Excellent Production of a Realistic Nil
-itarv Drama.
''The Heart of Maryland'' was on the
boards for two performances at the
Opera House yesterday, and was greet
ed by audiences which were unusually
large, but not larger than the pro-
duction merfted. The play is con-
structed on the line Of similar military
dramas, and presents nothing new in
its theme. 1t is the work of sllillful
playwright, however. Mr.. Belasco has
made the eliminating scenes in the
first three acts very strong, and with
the assistance of a clever scenic artist
and capable company, gives the play
in a manner which suSr.ains the in
terest Of the audience throughout its
presentation, and compels frequent out
bursts OF genuine enthusiasm. The
company received curtain calls at both
performances, and the heavy villain"
was received with complimentary
misses. A very realistic scene is pre-
sented ait the close of the third act
when Maryland" to prevent the ring
ing OF a bell which will sound the doom
OF her lover, rushes into the belfry,
seizes the clapper and swings to and
fro as the bell is pulled from below.
Another intensely dramatic incident is
Maryland's assault upon Gen. Kendrick
with a bayonet to save her honor.
Miss Alma Kruger, in the leading
role, proved herself a very talented
actress, and must have been regarded
with pride by her parents, who came
down from Fittsburg to witness the per
Torrance. Other members Of the cast
sustained their parts in very accept
able manner.

vivid imagination, telling US tale Of
rare beauty. 1t is truly a romantic
story, and Digby Bell, who will inter

Ellie Wilton could defy the Psalmist's
score about the making of books,
what a claim Of interest it would
have! And Timon's story could have
a new but cleaning recitation, in
which Timon would not be story
teller. The Casino has it's history. 1t

An occasional diamond sparkles in 1t,
and its languid-eyed women have his
tories, too. But when they are all
knitted up-as they never will be,
because it is not worth while-just the
story of this one plain woman can
be to them what an electric light is to

suggestive of meanings not given nor

THEY WANT
EARL'S ESTATE.
DeIawarean's Will Fight
For Big Pemberton
Estate in England.

Romance and millions are blend
ed in the claims which certain
Delawareans, Pcnnsylyanians and
Marylanders lay tothe large estate
Of the Earl Of Pemberton in Eng
land. For many years this estate
has been in the English courts.
Some Of the American heirs are
about to renew an effort made sew
eral years ago to establish their
rights.
Among those who believe that
they are entitled TO large shares of
the estate are Mrs. Anna Armstrong
( Of Smyrna, Kent County; Mrs. Ann
Z Stewart Of Philadelphia, and Mrs.
Louise Lightwardt Of Baltimore.
Early in the present century, so
the story goes, gallant sea cap
tain, Stirling By name, fell in love
\ with the young and be autitul daugh-
ter OF the Earl of Pemberton. Rec
ognizing and resenting the humble
origin OF the suitor for his daugh-
/ tiers hand, the earl forbade the
union. She sacrificed home, posi-
; tiou and her fathers love and elop-
ed with the man of her choice. The
earl disowned her. The couple
y settled in Delaware. Children
came to their home and then they
died
Before the nobleman died he must
have been stricken with remorse,
for shortly alter his death letter
Of inquiry was sent to Delaware by
English barristers who wanted IN
formation concerning the wife Of
Captain Stirling. The letter of in
quiry was destroyed IN fire.
Interest Jagged, and it:was sew
eral years later before lawyer
z was employed to go to Engl and.
son the eve Of his departure he was
seized with fatal illness.
Now another generation has TAX
en- up the matter, Mrs. Lightwardt
Of Baltimore being the prime mover.
1t is proposed TO employ another
lawyer and send him to England to
make thorough study of the pres
emit financial and legal status of the
estate.
