 Maurice Thompson's childhood was spent in Georgia, and he served in the Confederate army throughout the civil war. The last book that came from his busy pen was Alice of Old Nincennes," and the dramatized version of 1t was presented last night at the Jefferson. Un fortunately the beautiful revolutionary stsry was brought to this town in the post-Hur period, and the audience was not so large as it otherwise would have been.
 Briefly speaking the loves of Alice Roussillon and John Beverly are conduct ed amid the varying scenes of war on the wilderness along the Wabash, the prize of love being the charming daughter of Old Vincennes. and the prize of war the rich northwest territory The two prizes are won concurrcntly.
 Miss Coghlan as alice RoussiIon is at first disappointing having a peculiar drawl and never seeming in earnest seek ing as rule the humor of the situation rather than its force and dramatic effect, but she has so much naturalness and simplicity and ease of manner that the audience quickly comes to like her. They soon found that quiet and even oppressive as she is she met every dramatic situation readily, and even with excellent effect, notably the scene on the fort when at the risk of her own life she fires a shot that brings down upon the fort the ragged Continentals, and the fag that she her self had made soon waves over the font. The northwest is saved to George Wash ington's men, and John Beverly is re- leased from British hands.
 Sydney Irving as John Beverly is stiff and stagey at first. but he warns up to his work and proves himself good lover and hero. One of the truest pieces of act ing in the play is done py Joseph cu- sack as Father Beret. 1ie looks and acts the French priest of colonial days. Beat rice Foster as Jane Bartlette presents some fine character acting The British soldiers in the play are exceedingly stagey and stormy, and the audience gladly condemns them
 The scenery and electrical effects pre- sented are admirable. The Wabash seems to flow and ripple under the moonlight, and altogether the story so sweetly told by Maurice Thompson is well reproduced on the stage Many incidents are of course lacking, but enough is retained to make good love story as well as a thrilling war story.
 The play will be presented this after noon at matinee and again tonight, and all who have read the Thompson book will be apt to come out to see the play constructed from it.
