detective in her anxiety to end the sus-.

His smile was dubious, but 1t was a

moment WE'LL nigh intolerable. Then
we saw the detectives finger
rest, on certain portion Of
the paper they were mutually consulting,
and remain there. The coroner read the
words thus indicated, and his face showed
both strong and sudden feeling.
"Ah!" he calculated. What do you
make out of that?'
The detective uttered few low words,
and taking the piece which had been in
the envelop he fitted 1T to the one held
by the coroner. We could all see that
they were part of the same sheet.

portion that was left in the typewriter,
suggested the other, ignoring the anxious
looks bent upon him from every side.
Passing by us all, he laid the three pieces
together on the library table with a
glance at the young Gillespies which was
not without it's element of compassion.

at subterfuge or denial:

And her trembling finger crossed that of
the detective and fell upon line ter
minating the half-fnished letter which
.they had already partially read.
This was the appearance of that letter

The following December the old business

1t was in March, 1893, that the name
Of Goetter was again connected with the
mercantile business Of Montgomery. when
Sidney ]. Goetter opened an entirely
new store at 20 and % Dexter Avenue.
The business was a success from It's be-
ginning. About 100 persons are employed
by the concern.
Interviewed yesterday, Mr.. Goetter
said The A. 8. Knowles Dry Goods Com
pany had bought the business and would
occupy the store on January l.

MRS. BRUNE'S UNORNA
EXTRAORDINARY PLAY WAS
sUPERBLY PRODUCED.
Two Large Audiences Saw a Clever
Woman at the Montgomery
Theatre Interpret Marion
Crawford's Work.

The minds that make plays today are curt
ously mercurial. Perhaps this is not so mucl
the fault Of the playmaleer and creator as 4
is a desire on the part of a faded and oft
time weary public for amusement and diver
sion. other than instruction into the still un
known depths OF human nature; its fobles
fclles and mad caprices.
Strength OF character. the human heart anC
its pulsation and the new powers that brinl
about such strange incidents and results are
never-ending themes of deep and widespread
interest.
It is for these latter-day paYgoers that
"Unorna," which was twice presented at the
Montgomery Theatre yesterday. before audi
ences that included the intellect we'll as
tina fashion of Montgomery. will have the
greatest magnetism. There is probably not
literary household in this whole land. and
more especially in the Southland. that does
not know 'Nnorna." This curious creature OF
wnsome. lissome face and figure: OF strange
and ill-wrought art and personality has been
abjured and praised, coEtemned and idolzed by
successful drnmatization has been more than
once seriously questioned.
1t need not be longer so.
In the Cnorna of yesterday. this Mrs. Bruno
whose strange beauty and conception of Marion
Crawfords heroine was such that is not
art TO forget 1t in a moment. We find a char
acter work that will stand out in the annals
OF latter day creations beyond the peradventure
OF doubt
AS to the star. Mrs Bruno came to us as
stranger; she went away leaving adulation
for the sloe-llke beauty Ct eyes admiration
for the quaint beauty OF whole person and
reverence for her art. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Crawford personally selected her for his
heroine. Whether this be true or not the
author Is most fortunate in the happening
So much has been said about the success
full metamorphosis of the hook into the play
and the apt Interpretation that IT will suffice
here to treat 1t with the brief statement
that the half has not been written. II we
mistake not, 'Unorna" will rank as a play
when some OF the world-famed creatures have
passed into history.
There is an Understandable art. a weird and
intense fascination about the consuming pas
sion the self sacrificing love OF this 'Jrnorna'
that stirs the arteries and the whole fibre OF
the spectator.
Strength of affection and devotion may resi-
most heavily upon the people of learned lands
but the consuming, devout love of this Indiar
maiden born amid a black art, ostracized anC
outawed is a wonder play not common to thu
Cleverest staEe-cTaft.
There is neither time. space nor inclination
| to so into the occult theme Of the play
| Powers Of the kind described in the work ar
| sdmittcd. but II requires rare art to pain
| them in logical word pictures.
"Cnorra" accomplishes this and after
i unique and brilliant fashion,

This "Unorna" will live. The tumultuous rise

profoundly.
