PARK THEATRE.

'"The Flaming Arrow" Western bor-
der drama. by Lincoln ] Carter, in which
the Indian princess. Go-Won-Go- Mo-
White Eagle. opened a weeks engagement
at the Park theatre yesterday. or the
many dramas Mr.. Carter has before the
public this is claimed To be the most
novel and worthy Of attention. 1T pos
sesses true western flavor, has brisk ac-
ton. exciting climaxes and many thrill
ing scenic effects.
The company Is a large one and above
the average. 1t comprises, besides several
artists, a band OF full-blooded Indians,
the most noted of whom are Chiefs Moon
dog and Red Flash, the champion runner
who holds the reputation OF carrying
Clusters last message. The play Is very
bright and deals with army life on the
frontier and shows how in many ways tho
tricky Indians are foiled by the careful
ness and vigilance of the officers on
guard.
The plot. which Is admirably worked
out. opens In an Indian camp near Fort
Reno where the various tribes under
their respective chiefs assemble TO
smoke the pipe Of peace and participate
in games best known TO the braves. IL is
here Senor Pasedo. a Mexican, aided by a

which n funeral has just been held and

move the undertaker's chairs on the rise

The story told by the characters deals
with that class of Americans who are en-
deavoring by fair means or foul To- force
themselves into tho social swim, literally

one OF the distinct hits OF the bill was

Maud White both former legitimate
players. The scene Of the little playlet
is laid on the sidewalk before a New

Then follows an exceedingly bright
dialogue which for comedy and keen re-
partee as well as originality has not been
equaled by any other vaudeville playlet
OF recent months. A hlariously funny
finish to the sketch is made and the
audience shrieked with laughter as the
curtain descended. The act Is decidedly

and is assisted by a corps OF at least 30
young women, who sing, march and pose
in a most pleasing manner.
The Batchellor sisters, who are among
the sweetest singers, and are very pop

and dances, they furnishing their own
music. The Vedmars Bert and REM,
have n novelty In the way of horizontal

being something OF a comedian.
Joe Hayman. who is next on the bill,
also presents n novelty, that OF singing
