THE ONLY GUARANTEED
KIDNEY CURE,
The Minister'S Son.

1t would be hard to conceive of
a more delightful performance
than that given by Mr.. w. B.
Patton and his really excellent
company when they presented
the pastoral play, ''The Min
ister's Son, - in our city last seas
on, hut Manager Chas. Heuck,
who has succeeded in securing
this popular attraction for re-
turn engagement this season, as
sures US that the company and
equipment will surpass that of
last, strong as it was. Of Mr..
Patton himself, surely there could
be no room for improvement.
We cannot call to mind any actor
on the boards today, now that Sol
Smith Russell is gone, that could
even attempt to follow him lin the
part. Necessarily the part be-
comes character study intense
ly marked and so much the filter
for Mr.. Patton's unique personal
ity. 1t is a forceful, individual
presentment, discreetly balanced
and rich in restraint, with much
subtleness of suggestion. The
play itself is ideal-in many re-
spects remindfuI of "Shore
Acres, - Way Down East, and
other plays typical of life in 'ru-
ral'' New England, which have
found such favor in recent years,
but is in no wise patterned after
any OF them. Indeed, it may be
said to be in class with itself,
and surely no play of like style
has given us a character so quaint
Iy original and charming as Simon
Ray, the minister's son, so beau
tifully portrayed by Mr.. Patton.
1t deserves and will, no doubt,
be accorded a most cordial recep-
ton at the hands of local theatre
goers. "The Minister'S Son"
will appear at Heuck's Opera
House, Friday, Jan. 10Th.
