Among other interesting situations,
~ Thoroughbred Tramp contains a
thrilling race between a woman on
horseback and fast-fying express
train. The sound of the oncoming
train is accompanied by the hoof-
beats of its speedy rival of flesh and
blood. As this race was progressing
in nearby town, well-known gem
tleman was seen to gradually rise as
the scene progressed. just as the
light was flashing along the track and
the noise of the on-rushing train was
drowning the hOof-beats of the horse,
the old fellow sprang to his feet, and
waving his arms, yelled, Come on,
here, gal-come on here-or, dern
you, you'll be too late!" The girl
came on in time, but she didn't make
half as big hit as the old gentle
man. The Thoroughbred Tramp"

The delicate comedy of 1.-The Vir-
ginian. familiar to everyone who has
read the book, is all reproduced in the
stage version by kirke La ShelIe. He
found, when he came to turn the in
cidents in the novel into active life
for the stage, that the fun which
makes one lay down the book every
now and then to laugh, was of the
kind that carries we'll over the foot
lights. 1t is subtle and irresistible,
and in most cases it has the added
merit Of surprising one into a laugh
unawares. American humor is an
elusive quality. and when it has been
caught so firmly as in this book, it is
something to laugh over.
IF the audience is not alternately
in roars of laughter and thrilled into
absolute silence, | shall be disappoint-
ed, remarked Mr.. La ShelIe the other
day at rehearsal THAT is the way
the novel affected me when | read it,
and hope L have carried it into the
play"
