The anniversary Of Washington's birth
day has peculiar significance this time

the South has been disposed TO sound
t,e praises Of its heroes in battle and
the North has been disposed to exploit
the deeds of its heroes I'm battle. but
since tho war with Spain was fought,
there are no sectional heroes. AL who

and Washington SIS the father Of them

Coon Hollow.

The public will please remember
that the romance of Coon Hollow
is not negro play but beautiful
southern drama with a delightful
love story and comedy abundant
and of high and refined order
strong plot of quiet realism which
is very charming. To quote from
Alvin Dale's thoughtful review in
the New York World: Coon
Hollow pleases. 1t is interesting
and thoroughly human. The chars
acters are neatly sketched and many
of the felicitous touches that made
Blue Jeans famous, is to be found
in this much more modest little
work. The strength of Coon Hol-
low lies in its humanity. Georgia,
the roadside wallet is flesh and
blood; and CLYDE Harrod, the
mountain thistle, is a living being;
Dicgenes Sharp is funny and is
not overdrawn, and Lem Stockwell
is a real and pulsative man."
