mountains, is beautiful. ''M'Iiss" her
self is of the type that is now al
most unknown. She is the product
of the mountains and like them is all
nature. yet under the rugged dress,
there is the heart of the true woman.
and she is as true as steel The pro-
duction which has been given this de
lightful dramatization is Il most ade-
quate and elaborate one. Nothing has
been left undone by the management
to make it pleasing to the eye.
''M'liss" is the attraction at the Hi
nois this evening. Miss McHenry was
injured in the first scene while at
Omaha the other night. but not seri-
ousIy enough to prevent her playing.
Nowadays something new in the
dramatic or entertainment line is
rare. but a real stage surprise is
promised by Manager German in the
production of a damatic musical
comedy novelty entitled Dare Devil
Dorothy" This will be the first sea-
son Of this play in this country. al
though it has been Il tremendous sue
cess in England for the past three
years, where it is said it is being tour
ed by four separate companies. The
rights for the United States and Cam
ada have been secured by Fred G..
Berger, late manager of Sol Smith
Russell. and T. H. O'Neil. who have al
so arranged for an early production
of this play in New York City.
Dare Devil Dorothy" is a play with a
strong melodramatic story and is in
four acts. The first act is located
and takes place at the Courtlands,
London; the second. which is largely
composed of musical comedy with
original music and songs by Sparrow
Harris. is located in the Bush Farms,
Australia; the third act takes at
Scheme house, on the Thames, Eng
land. i'm which ii * said some power
full dramatic acting takes place and
is also noted for magnificent costum-
ing of the ladies in the cast. The
fourth act is almost entirely compos-
ed of a very novel circus scene which
is part Of the plot and in which a Sc
ries of new and splendid speciality
people will appear in SEINE of the
latest vaudeville acts. Dare Devil
Dorothy was written by Wilfred Carr
and the costumes were designed and
manufactured by Eaves. of New York
City.

Henry is an actress of wide expert
ence, charming personality and so
borough is her understanding of her
art that this rosebud of the west is
fitted so far above mediocrity that it
becomes great creation. The piece
: an adaptation of Bret Harte's beau
tiful story of the same name, and the

TO retain all Cf the charming roman
tic flavor of the actors narrative. Some
of the characters in the play are both
quaint and original. There is the
judge. reproduction of one of the
many justices who held Office in Cali

edge of the law is nil, but his assur-
ance is unequaled. Then there is
