PARK THEATRE.


The great White Diamond" scenic
melodrama by Walter Fessler. IS the at
traction at the Park theatre this week,
1t was presented last night before one OF
the largest and most appreciative audi
ences seen there this season.
The story of the play, parts of which
are taken from Frank Barret's novel,
The Great Hesper' is very sensational
and the different characters are exceed
ipgly well portrayed by an excellent
company
The story opens In the library OF Sir
Edmond Lascele, a retired banker, to
whom a party OF miners go with a large
diamond TO ascertain its value. and with
a hope OF selling IL. The banker, know
ing the stone to be OF great value. asks
the party to stay at his house over night
and being short OF sleeping rooms one OF
the miners is obliged TO sleep In his IL
brary. This falls to Mr.. Robert Thorn.

see In the dark, and who Is believed by
his comrades to be totally blind. steals
into the library and after rendering
Thorn unconscious robs him OF the prec-
ious stone. He buries the same In the
garden with the hope OF sometime reap
ing large fortune.
Little Lola Brace. the kid. comes 70 the
library door ard hearing the scuffle in

time TO see Pietro escape by window
and being suspicious of him, watches
him bury something In the garden which
she afterwards digs up and. finds IL 10 be
the diamond, which she In turn conceals
in an old cave.
AS the play proceeds the villain twice
attempts TO kill Lola. first at railroad
station. where he puts her into a mall
bag, and again I'm a deserted mill. Here is
made the thrilling swing for life.
The last act shows the cave under the
Sierra Nevada mountains, where Lola.
her father and Mr.. Thorn go in search OF
the diamond. The nyctalops having fol-
lowed them tries to kill them by shoot
ing, the Jar OF the shot causes the rocks
to give away and daylight pouring I'm

he takes a mlsstep and falls into the
canon.
