"IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN"
These Words Apply With Force to
the Play "Quincy Adams Sawyer"

There are many features of novel
interest in the great rural drama,
"Qaincy Adams Sawyer" which will
BE- ssen at Sapp's New Theatre, Ga
lens, on Feb. II, but none of them
are more distinctive than the truth
fui picture of the life it presents. 1t
can be said with truth of every in
cident that occurs at might have
been," and this ia tribute that can
be paid to but very few plays. Even
those dramas which make special
claims to be belonging to the real
istic school are usually found avail
ing themselves of the honored
tricks of stage artifice at some time
during their action.
The people in quincy Adams
Sawyer" walk and talk naturally
and everything that they do 10
thoroughly human and consistent
with life in a New England village.
There are none of the familiar stock
expedients TO secure what is known
as dramatic effects, The adapter
of the great novel from which the
play was made, as said by one of
Americas foremost critics, "has
given to the theatre sweet whole
some story, a picture of natural
surroundings where men and wo-
men are purer and better, and
whence springs the brain and
brawn of the nation" Add to such
a play the best and most appropri.
ate settings that stage art can sup
ply and is it any wonder that the
theatres where Quincy Adams
Sawyer" is given are always filled
by happy audiences?

Chicago, Jan. AT the coroner's in
quest over the bodies of the Iroquois
theatre fire victims today John Nick
les, workman employed in the con-
struction of the Iroquois theatre, swore
that fire broke out the very first
night the theatre was opened.
According to this evidence and the
statement made by another employee to
the police few days ago, there were
two fires at the Iroquois before the
one which proved so terribly fatal. The
second time is said to have been about
one week before the catastrophe of
December 80. Nickles in giving his
testimony said:

that had exploded"
Believe Chemicals Were Burned.
Several persons who witnessed the
fire from adjacent buildings stated to-
day that the outer edge of the smoke
and flames coming out of the play
house were tinged with a peculiar
greenish color. They express a belief
that there were chemicals on the stage
which added to the fury of the fire.
Dead Number 569.
Another death resulting from the IT.
oquois theatre fire was reported to the
Coroner Traeger today. Mrs. M, A..
