ring on the girls finger. The Squire,
who believes in living according to
the scriptures, prepares to turn the
girl from the house, but refrains UNI
til he makes an investigation to as
certain the truth of this story.
The third act shows the kitchen of
the Scuires home. A terrific snow
storm RACES outside. The family and
the neighhors are gathered about the
supper table. The Squire has gone to
Belden. and his return is awaited with
much anxiety. None know the ma
ture of his errand but his wife and
the village busybody.
The Squire returns as the supper is
placed on the table; he greets every
body but Anna, in his big hearted
way. Then he turns his wrath upon
the girl, denounces her and drives her
forth into the storm. Before going,
however the girl reveals the fact that
she has been the victim of a mock
marriage and that her betrayer was
even then a guest at the farmers
table. This episode furnishes the most
stirring climax of the play.
The fourth act shows maple sugar
camp in a New England forest. The
search for Anna Moore is in progress.
She is found in a snow drift more dead
than alive. The Squire's forgiving ma

is said to be the best equipped grand
opera company that has come out of
New York in recent years.
Miss Shay has been hailed as the
successor of Emma Abbott, and her
voice, it is very generally conceded,
is a brilliant one. In addition to be-
ing gifted from a vocal standpoint,
Sne is Deautltul woman. In fact
some of the musical reviewers and
critics have gone so far as to state
that she is the handsomest woman
on the stage.
The young artist, however. is not
dependent on her personal attributes
to win the esteem and plaudits of the
musical class throughout the country.
She has surrounded herself with an
organization which includes some of
the best artists in grand opera. They
include Alexandra Lion. the star of

Scenically the play will be produced
in the same manner it has been in
other years. The majority of theater-
goers are familiar with the story of
Lottie Blair Parker's play.
As its title indicates, her characters
are residents of New ENGLAND. The
local is typically rural. The house
and farm Of Squire Bartlett furnish
the scenes of the action. The first
setting shows the rear of the home,
the barn. and the pastures in the dis
tance. Here the Sources family are
assembled when hapless Magdalene

of the Squire is taken into the fam

has been a mother and her child lies

on the fact that there is no wedding

The respective members of the COM

Concisely put Mrs. Wigs of the
Cabbage Patch is a story of a hale
tender and half-humorous brave old
woman, who. under the most discour-
aging circumstances, still keeps a
smiling face toward confident to-mor-
row.
The play will be taken to Louisville,
Ky, for tomorrow night. That is the
home of the author of the book and of
Mrs Anne Crawford Flexner, who
made the dramatic version. The first

comedy is pronounced by its author
the best of all his works. and when the

theater-gocrs have sometime to ex-

Kathryn Kidder produced her new
play, Lady Calmore's Filtration" in
New York last week. The play is
modern society comedy of considerable
literary pIetensions. The story deals
with the fortunes of an American heir
ess who is married to a European no
bleman. The author is a woman, Anna
Alice Chaplin. and her work is said TO
be effervescent, bright and in many
instances keenly sarcastic.
The production of Pretty Peggy" in
which Grace George is to be seen here
just before she goes to New York. is
said to present a riot of color in its
costumes. The period Of the play is
the early part of the last century, and.
in consequence, the least pretentious of
the CARDS worn must be picturesque in
design and rich in execution. The
motley monotony is broken by the ap-
parel of several VIGOROUSLY eccentric
literary people impersonated, by the
scarlet and gold braid of British uni
forms, and by the costumes of the ac-
tors and actresses who are supposed
to appear in an act of LAS You ] Ike
It." The gowns worn by Miss George
were made in Paris, and are declared to
be marVelS.

Two delighted audiences witnessed
the afternoon and night performances
of the musical comedy When Reuben
Comes to Town" The performance is
easily the peer of any that has been
here this season, so far as pretty girls
and handsome costumes are concerned.
There were no particularly strong
voices in the chorus, but the audience
overlooked this fault in it's enjoyment
of the dash and swing which character
lied every move of the well-trained
bunch of pretty girls.
There were new songs and new jokes
and funny situations TO make the audi
ence laugh. And it laughed. Deserving
of special mention is the rendition of
There Is No Love Like the Old" by
Miss Adalyn Hall. Despite the fact
that she was suffering from a sore
throat, Miss Hall responded to numer-
Gus encores. A very silly skit, into the
spirit of which the audience entered,
entitled Just Like a Scene in the
Play" proved a great mirth-maker.
Tomorrow, matinee and night, The
Convicts Daughter" will be seen for
the first time in Savannah. 1t is an
