books and authors that are floating on
the topmost wave Of popularity.
The Boston public library has long
been considered somewhat severe in its
standard, in fact too exclusive for the
popular tastes, but this last prohibitory
mandate is more radical than any pre-

The examining committee consisted of
thirty prominent citizens-the learned

books the committee was guided by the
following set Of questions:
Is il immoral?
Is 1t below the authors usual stand

Has the library enough of that au-
thor, anyway?
Is 1t poorly written?
Does 1t tend to promote culture?
Is II too Sensational?
Is 1t plagiarism?
Would 1t tend to create anarchy?
Could the money be better spent for
another book?

The regular season of the Grand opera
house will close the current week. The
farewell attraction will be a new colonial
drama entitled cat Valley Forge" At
ter the engagement of this attraction the
Grand will close it's doors for the sum-
mer, except for an occasional local en-
tertainment.
"At Valley Forge" as It's title would
The play is from the pen of w. D. Rob
erts, who is said to have already to his
credit the writing of several successful
pieces. AT Valley Forge" is said to be
alive with strong situations and replete
with an exceptionally original comedy
element, which punctuates the beautiful
love story in most impressive way.
The subject is a most interesting one,
serving as it does to bring down from
the past atmosphere of realism, the
times and deeds of our great ancestors.
Its incidents are threaded on a story
which give ample license to the dra-
matist to introduce the characters, made
famous in the infancy Of our country
during the memorable struggle for free
dom from the tyranny of the rule Of
King George III. of England.
The play opens in the Preston manor
house, situated near the winter camp of

charming daughter of Tory officer Of
King Georges army, then stationed at
Philadelphia. The play makes no pre-
text of being an historical one, aside
from the fact that it is written in the
atmosphere of the time when this coun-
try was struggling for freedom from the
rule of King George. The company pre-
senting the play is promised to be a ca
pable one, embracing in the leading roles
Mr.. William Roberts and Miss Olive
Martin, two players of recognized merit.
The scenic effects are described as being

Nathan Haze is a play that appeals

In simple, direct and forceful manner

of the daintiest bits of comedy writing

where Nathan Hale as a village school
master fails in love with his bewitch-
