Edward Terry, the English actor, who
made his first appearance in this country
yesterday afternoon, was received in a
spirit of generous warmth that must have
gone far toward reconciling him to the
tact that the season of good cheer finds
him far away from home. The audience
that assembled in the Princess Theatre
had obviously come in a fine holiday mood
and this fact was reflected in an abun-
dance of laughter and applause. At the
end Of the second act of The House of
Burnside there We're repeated curtain
calls, and finally, in answer to the demands
for a speech, Mr.. Terry came forward and
announced that it would be his pleasure to
crafty that wish at the end of the per-
Torrance. When the final curtain fell he
expressed his thanks briefly.
OF Mr.. Terry's acting the best that may
be said of it in the light of his perform
ance Of the bluff old ship owner of The
House Of Burnside 3" is that it is generally
competent. The part is a long and at times
rather tedious one, but it provides some op-
portunities for varied mining, its moods
passing from those of genial, mellow HUI
NOR 10 that Of a stern, hard. and unre-
lentlng old grandfather, laboring under the
idea that he has been grossly deceived by
SAN HpHldn MS son mas married.
Mr.. Terry was at his best In the first act
in an especially charming scene between
himself and William H. Day. who appeared
with some success in the role of his con-
tldential clerk. the father of his daughter
ln-law. and rival in grandfatherly affec-
ton for the two children of the house.
Here the two old men engage in a friendly

rights in the love of the children in one

certain 10 make an appeal to gentle hearts.
IN the later scenes which touch more near
" upon the dramatic, Mr.. Terry was less
convincing, but he was Handicapped TO

The welcome extended to Miss Beatrice

cordial than that which greeted the star.

Copiah supervisors Negotiate.

HazIehurst, Miss, March7 =.
The Board of Supervisors of this
county today negotiated a short
time loan for $1,000, at 6 per cent,
for the current expenses of the
county this year. This is probaly
the lowest rate that has been
made in this section for short
loans, the county bonds having
been foated at Az per cent. Tho
money was loaned by a home
bank and there were several other
bids slightly above this one,
showing that money here is pIen-
|tiful and the country is in d
fourishing condition.
