Comedy Bright and Clean.

And the beauty of Mr.. Cranes perform
anee is that the comedy is bright and
clean and as refreshing as May day IN
the part of the country in which the story
is located.
After the inundation of bad dramatiza-
tions of uninteresting novels, inane mu-
sical comedies, dramas that depend for
their success upon the exploitation OF
women with "pasts," Crane and David
Harum'' are welcome relief, and both
player and play are alike creditable to
the native stage.
The company is the same, with a few
exceptions, that was with Mr.. Crane last
year. Miriam Nesbitt makes very
charming Mary Blake and acts naturally
and effectively. Guy Nichols gives first
class character drawing of Deacon Per-
kins, while Harry NJ. Blake makes John
Lenox a manly, intelligent, and good
looking young fellow. The cast is excel
lent throughout. and very materially aids
the star in giving a very satisfactory per-
fOrmance.

DAVID HARUM-A dramatiZation of Ed
ward Noyes Westcott's novel by R.
and NJ N Hitchcock The cast:

The single play that has come to the
stage by the dramatized novel route that
will doubtless continue to give unqualified
pleasure to the theatregoers of the coun-
try for years to come is David Harum, e"
with William H. Crane in the titular role
Last night Mr.. Crane brought his stage
version of the Westcott novel to the Ma
tional Theatre, and the volume of the ap
plause was practically the same as on the
occasion of the first presentation of the
play at the same house year ago. Most
of the so-calied plays that are made over
for the stage from widely read novels en-
Joy brief existence and attract many
persons to the theatre, chiefly out OF
curiosity. but the great majority of them
fail to interest in the same degre that
the stories have between the covers of
the book.
David Harum'' is the one exception to
this large class of plays. 1t possesses the
requisite elements of human interest,
comedy, and pathos. unique characterize
tions and quaint types that none of the
other book plays enjoy. And as Comedian
Crane portrays the shrewd York State
banker philosopher, Harum is decided
ly interesting as well as entertaining fell
low-one who enjoys his own pointed
shafts of wit fully as much as do those
toward whom they are directed.
Cranes Excellent Work.
During Mr.. Cranes long and notable
career as an actor he has never been pro-
vided with a part more to his liking or
ripe experience and broad art. The piece
may be said to be more of a series of in
cidents that might happen in any small
interior town rather than well-defined
story. 1t is remarkable in that there Is
no hero or heroine or bad man to have
his deeplaid plans of villainy thwarted
at the end of the play. There is nothing
in the entire piece that is not highly en-
tertaining, whether ii be the horse trade
that figures in the early part of the per-
formance, the introduction of Mary Blake
into bonneville, John Lenox's installation
as Harum's head cashier, the incident of
the counterfeit bills, with Harum's ad
vice to place them back in the drawer
as they are all right so long as they keep
moving" the tussle with Bill Montaig,
the view of the deacon behind the horse
that will stand without hitching." n the
rain; the recital of Harum's visit 10 the
circus with Billy Cullum, or the opening
of the bottle of champagne-surely there
are few plays that are seen on the stage
nowadays that contain such variety of
diyerting episodes as these.

Tho courler improves wlth Aae.

Our estesmed friend, Capt II, f.
Sharp, has left at our office a copy OF
| The Keowee Courier of March 8, 1850.
He has been a constant reader OF this
paper since 1852, three years after the
| first Issue appeared. He has read every
| date, and says the paper has improved
| each week, and that the last paper Feb
ruary 20, 1902,) was by great odds THE
BEST THAT EVER APPEARED. s
There is much of interest in this old
copy of The Courier, but space forbids
an extended reproduction from 1T. 1t is
interesting to note one paragraph rea-
tive to the weather at that time-doubly
interesting because it is to a day just 4S
years since the squib was written and
published by Col. Robt. A. Thompson,
then editor and proprietor of the paper.
The paragraph reads as follows:
"The weather has been paragraphed
until the subject is worn threadbare
but the facts of the case fully justify a
recurrence to it. March came in as
lamb like aS could be wished; a day has
sufficed for it's genialness. Black clouds,
wind and rain have succeeded it, wreath
ing the johnquills and peach blooms with
mourning petals. The fields, too, are
being badly washed, aud tho highways
are rendered almost impossible by rea
son of the quantities and depth of the
mud that universally prevails"
From this we take il we are little
ahead of our friends of forty three years
ago, even in weather conditions, for We
have apparently passed through the mud
and mire, rain and gloom, into which
they were just entering. Fortunately
for us, however, we are slow in regarC
to peach blooms, and we have none tt
lose by the biting winds we may expect
during this month.
We are glad to note that Col. Robt. A
Thompson is still strong and vigorous
and after siege of forty days and forty
nights in Columbia as a Representative
from Oconee, appears rejuVinated, an6
jovial, with a great goodwill for al
mankind. Capt. Sharp, too, is one ot
those worthy gentlemen of the old school
to whom honor and duty are the very
essence of life itself. May these two
honored gentlemen, now past the me
ridian of life, and pressing on toward the
prize that awaits those who have walked
as they have, be spared yet many years
of peace and prosperity.
