GOLD JED PROUTY" HERE.
Richard Golden's Lovable Character
Again Visits Topeka.

Richard Golden's5 rOld Jed Prouty"
stands out from a background of melo-
dramas and vulgar plays as clear cut
and artistic as a cameo. And Golden
bears the same relation to the stage
with it's overload of Overdone and pass
ing plays as the artisan who cuts the
cameo does to the manufacturer of the
imitation. aaGf
There may be better New England
plays from the standpoint of the
dramatists, but there is no better char
acter in every respect to be found than
Golden's honest, simple and kind-heart-
ed tavern keeper of Busksport, Hancock
county, Maine. The author-actor has
made it so. For Golden wrote the play
which takes the name of the character
he originated and which he alone has
played. No wonder the simple poet of
the people, Eugene Field. found an in

Highlander Booth and Barrett were
the leaders in tragedy, Irving and Haw-
trey head the lists of English actors,
CoQuelin is the head liner of the French,
and Mansfield is the eccentric struggler
for the honors in America, but not one
of those named has given a truer por-
trayal of a chosen character than has
Golden and not one of them in the hey
dey of his ability could step into Gold
ems shoes and vie with him in the por-
trayal of the Bucksport Yankee. Golden
was called before the curtain at the
Crawford after the third act Saturday
night for a curtain speech. 1t was not
Golden who appeared, it was Jed
Prouty." Not for a minute did the
quaint and lovable old character disap-
pear from the minds of the audience.
All that can be said of Golden as ''Old
Jed Prouty'' is that it is lifelike char
acter on the stage. There are plenty of
people in Maine who would prove to the
observer that Golden studied well be-
fore he placed the tavern keeper behind,
the footlights.
The supporting company was good.
The other characters may be found to-
day in the Penobscot valley. They are
odd in life and on the stage they are
funny. 'Zeb Hardy the long, lank

Craig might be said by some to be a

HIS LIFE STORY.
Evangelist Hunt Tells Naughty
Things About himself.

Evangelist C. NJ. Hunt was advertised

| tell the thrilling story of his life Wo-
men who happened to come to the door
| for admittance were turned away with
the announcement that the meeting was
for men only. And well it was that this
precaution was taken for the thrilling
story of his life" as told to the thou

the bushes come to the cheeks of one
man telling the story to another.
Evangelist Hunt confessed to having
lived very fast life. The address was
sensational in the extreme in point of
revelations of the past life of the
speaker.

Evangelist Hunt took up church work

volved upon him. He prayed when called
upon, although he confessed the prayers
were not from the heart.
At the same time he still continued
drinking in moderate way and continued
the practice of his other bad habits, only
contenting himself with the excuse that
he spent his own money and it was his
business but his own, and was therefore
all right.
His change of heart came about through
attending a revival meeting which he did
his best to avoid. 1t was at this meeting
