Aubrey COmpany's Excellent Per-
Torrance of LAND of the Living p
The Aubrey Dramatic Stock Company
inaugurated its engagement at the Thea
ter last night with an excellent production
of THE Land of the Living" The play
IS in four acts and was splendidly staged
and presented. The scenery carried was
all belonging to the company and 1t was
almost a revelation to see such produc-
ton by a popular price company.
The play is a strong melodrama, the
scenes of which are laid in England and
South Africa. and while it is thrilling in
the extreme at times, there is vein OF
humOr running through IL to offset the
heaViness, and a heart interest and pathos
that is pretty.
Miss Lillian Bayer gave a fine, virile
portrayal of the character of Meg" and
won much applause by her excellent abt-
ing Mr.. H. S. siggins was strong as
Gerald Arkwright and Mr.. Ulysses Davis
as Reuben TIE gold, the villain, was CAPT
tai. He was a villain of most extraordin-
airy stripe and 50 wen did he do that the
audience fairly hated him by the end Of
the play. Mr. Stout gave very good
representation of a broken aristocrat and
MIR. Chesterfield Mr.. Claxton, Miss Rose
Cameron and Miss Florence Hastings were
all good in their paris

known to most theat ergoers, but If the

Quite two months later, In the crisp
freshness of the early morning. the
Fieldings turned their backs upon the
little black-clad figure, that stood her
ground brayely, so long as the futter-
ing of handkerchief could be seen.
BY her side stood a small. wrinkled
fine lady, with sharp black eyes, and
gray frizzes arranged about her blue
veined temples with scrupulous exact
ness. 1t was Nine. lie Iuc. Watching
the receding wagon, she softly quoted:

sob. Then she remembered that Nine.
