week commencing Monday September 20
1t Is said to contain as many elements OF
success as Arizona the scenes of which
are laid in Montana, amid the mining
camps and army posts OF that picturesque
mountain region. where the sunrise and
sunset are described as glorious. The story
is strenuous, as BELTS the rugged state
where the action takes place.. OF course,
there are abundant incidents of light and
amusing nature as well. One Of the most
sensational scenes of great dramatic inten-
Sity ends the third act. A wife, left alone
at home by her husband, defends her house
against a gang of robbers, shooting one of
their number as they batter down the door,
only to learn that she has killed her own
husband, who had planned the yillainy in
order to rob his employers. The action
and scenes are intensely realistic. A troop
of cavalry forms one of the salient fea-
lures of the drama The following are in
the company: Henry Kolker, Joseph Man

One of the seasons melodramatic sue
cesses Is Manager Henry c. Jacobs pro-
duction of Kate Mortimers realistic play,
"The Power of TRUTH" depicting village
and country life in Indiara- Plays deal
ing with everyday life. no matter where
the scene is laid, seem to have struck the
popular fancy of theatergoers. With this
knowledge in view, Manager Jacobs has
had this dramatization made and the re-
suit Is the powerful melodrama, 1.-The
Power of Truth" which Is veritable re-
picturesque villages of the hoosier state.
The story of the play Is founded on the
noble self-sacrifice of a girl who rescues
her father from a drunkards grave, and
the power of the man with a past, who has
risen by some unknown cause to be the po-
litical boss of Shelby county, notwithstand-
ing his doubtful pedigree, and whose sole
purpose seems to be the ruination of John
Moreland. which he has partially accom-
plished through Moreland's love of drink
The cause of this persecution is his knowl-
edge that Moreland knows of his connec-
tion with the notorious White Caps, an or
ganization feared and dreaded in those days
in the southern section of Indiana. All his
perfidious schemes and acts are at last ex-
posed by John Milburn. the prosecuting at
torney of the county and sweetheart of the
daughter. During the action of the piece
there is shown the burning of an old grist
mill, reproducing a confiagration in all its
ferceness. The scene looks most threat
ening, but the material used is constructed
of asbestos, and the stage is covered with
the same material. This piece will occupy
commencing with the usual Monday matt
