"a Montana Outlaw is the name Of a
new play of Western life to be seen at the
Park Theater for three days, beginning to-
morrow. While the play is said 70 be filled
with sensational features, it's story is
plainly and Interestingly told. and it's char
acters are real pictures OF the types of the
ranches and plains of Montana. The play
has been handsomely staged by Warner &
Altman. and is said to have a cast of merit.
Jack, the Buster a cowboy who is made
the hero of the piece, makes his entrance
upon a frisky broncho. He Is called upon
during the action of the play to rescue his
employer from death by l~ynching, which
he does by arriving at the opportune mo-
ment and shooting in twain the rope which
uspends the unfortunate man. In another
scene he drives a stage coach down a noun
tain pass and escapes from his pursuers.
While the character of the cowboy is drawn
in picturesque style, he is made a man of
some refinement. Herbert Hall Winslow
and Fred s. Gibbs are the authors of this
story of life and love in one OF the most
picturesque regions of the mining and
ranching country. While the play abounds
in stirring action, it is said TO differ ma

theme. Warner & Altman. who are putting
out this attraction, have made an effort to
present an elaborate scenic production. A
carload of stage settings, from the studio
of C. F. Thompson. is carried. Several
specialties are introduced by members of
the ccmpan during the action of the play.
The, cast includes fifteen players. among
whom are William A. Clarke. John G.. Nc
Dowen. Frank Arnold, the Gabriel Broth
ers. Helene Warde, Marie Golf and Alice
Mcdowell.
Lincoln ]. Carter is said to get nearer
the limit Of lurid melodrama than ever in
his new production, TOO Proud to Beg"
which comes to the Park the latter half of
the week. Carter not only writes his plays,
but builds the mechanical effects that go
with them. He is said TO have exercised
his ingenuity along fresh lines and with
startling results in %equipping Too Proud
10 Beg for the stage. 1t will be the most
pretentious scenic effort at the Park so
far this season. ard the play requires four
acts with eight scenes TO dispose OF all the
Carter stage effects that he has to show.
In one scene there is a fire that is said 10
be as red as a sunset and TO give the audi
ence the impression that the house in on
fire. In another. known as 1.-The revolving
chamber" the whole stage is set in a whirl.

ter is said to have a pleasing story in Too

lures. There Is said to be a wealth of VIII
iainy and romance. which is relieved
here and there with flashes Of comedy.

which he gave the boys much whole
some advice, especially about the
