shut off from view it does not go out in a
fury, but fades from consciousness ana lin

the vanished rose Its appeal II felt at all
must be to a consciousness deeper than that
which can be stirred to an instant clamor
Of approval. The assault, by the man who

The literary drama has stepped into an
important place in theatrical affairs. The
success of several dramatized novels Of
fered temptation tor rely on the theory
that any successful novel will make q sue
cessful play: Certain At is that If all the
people who have enjoyed Mr.. James Lane
Aliens idyllic story of early Kentucky life
can be induced to see the play 1t will have
the foundation for a large and remunera-
tive clientele The piece abounds in beau
tiful rhetoric, and the company which plays
1t Is admirably equipped for the enter
prise One Of the strongest features of
the production was the recitation by Mr..
Jewett describing John Greys fight with
a panther. Its force was Evolutionary
rather than dramatic The scenery was
not elaborate in the ordinary garish sense
of the word. Rich as 1t was, it was not
obtrusive. 1t eTcompleteness to the i'm
preston, but was so arfistically sincere that
1t melted into the general feeling of the
play The novel has been studiously CLEAN
ed for dramatic ma terial. but the produc-
ton is almost entirely dependent upon its
poetic quality. 1t is OF the severest
tests to which the literary drama has been
subjected. Miss Frances Hastings, who
made the dramatzation, played the part
of Jessica Falconer Her work as an ac-
tress. while intelligent and discreet, was
far less important than the responsibilities
she assumed as a dramatist. Mr. Henry
Jewett humanized the character of John
Grey without destroying It's refinement
Notable among the other members of the
cast were Miss Mary Maynard as Amy
and Mr.. Lester Lonergan as Charles OBan-
non. The production leaves grateful i'm
preston. If on the one hand 1t contains
comparatively little which rouses an audi
ence TO high demonstrative pitch, on
| the other hand 1t presents nothing which
directly antagonizes the auditors sense of
artistic .propriety. II is audacious in its
very Quistude.

Some burglar with an apparently
enormous capacity fer pie broke into
Rogers bakery On Jackson street Just
south Of Sixth last night and looted the
place This morning Mr. Rogers is shy
on pies, cakes and q variety Of other
edioles-
The burglary was committed between

shop was closed AT o'clock and at 10 80
Mr. Rogers returned to ind the Their

glass IN the rear door, and the door was
standing open Further investigation IN
the saIesrOom disclosed the fact that
most OF the cases had been stripped
bare Of the good things that had been
baked up for the Saturday trade There
were fifteen large layer cakes missing,
but the best one IN the showcase had
been left Mr. Rogers is net sure about
the number OF Pies that were taken
but as near as he can figure out he
thinks there were 394. enough to satisfy
the most rabtd pie face for months to
come Among the good things that are
missing are ten dozen cookies, SIX rolls
and an unknown quantity Of bread The
value OF the stuff stolen does not
amount 10 more than s35 or $40 but it
seriously incouyeRienced Mr. Rogers in
supplying his Saturday customers
I would not have cared so much.

door when they left But they left it
open and It chilled my yeast so that it

that the yeast had not risen, SO had to
work all night with it Ny night baker
