theatre this week by a capable company
headed by James Horne
The story is touching one even
though homely. plain everyday sort OF
people are involved and the audience IS
carried along from one climax to another
without a tagging OF interest
Briefly the plot is this: Terry Den
nison, n sturdy young sailor, brought
up two motherlers orphans, such as are
unfortunately so common along the rug

them as a father. One of them, Chrys-
tai develops into a beautiful woman and

years pass and the wedding day OF the

and a sightess, gray-haired wanderer ap-

bride and groom on their return from

pathetic scene with his child seated on
the memorial tomb erected 10 his mem
ory he allows them 10 pass along happy
and unrecognizing. though the play ends
with a realization OF his sacrifice, and he
dies with his child in his arms.
The scene OF the shipwreck the old
grist mill and the church yard are all
interesting and make fine stage pictures
that caused favorable comment, the
storm effects in the first named being es-
pecially good.
Terry Dennson is portrayed with force
and vigOr by James Horne. who also
brings out the sweetness and goodness Of
heart OF the sailor in the latter por-
ton OF the play
Albert G. Warhe as Ruby Darrell the
