Lieutenant Denton Without declamatory
speeches or calcium effects, this creation
is said to give an impression OF manliness
and quiet courage rare in the drama Au-
gustus Thomas does not make Lieutenant
Denton save a woman's life or lead an at
tack on a fort. He merely has the young
officer shoulder a dishonor unmerited by
him, but the assumption of which is nee
essary to the reputation OF comrade. Vin-
cent Serrano, who has been heard here IN

night the lad. who was supposed to be
without intelligence, began clawing out
the mortar around one of the largest
stones in the outer wall. He could not
