THE 1'HEATERS
P | IS
LOVERS LANE"

i This beautiful pastoral play from
|Nlyde Fitchs pen, which is being
|played at Polls this afternoon and
evening, is the first effort of that pro-
Rific playwright in the line of the rural
drama. 1t has been enormously sue
cessfuI He has avoided the conven-
Bflona1 farm scenes and barnyafd eff
afects, and rustic quartets, but has
ytaken the dissensiOns of the choir and
church circle, the prosecutions of a
ogressive-m minded preacher, the aban-
don of little children at school play,
Spnd a dozen other picturesque ele-
Yments, blending them all into COM
lposite that is said to be Photographic
in exactness. Many of the character
studies are executed with insight and
line fidelity. Among them are the ec-
centric who manages the opera house,
posts his own bills and leads his or
chestra; the jealous choir singers, the
prudish purity brigadiers, and wait
from the orphan asylum, an extremely
amusing tomboy of IL, whom the cler-
gyman's kind heart and tact train into
ciyilized ways. Lovers Lane has en-
joyed long prosperity for five months
I'm New York and all summer in Chi
3cago. and is doing much to swell Clyde
Fitch's royalties, which last year
amounted to something like three
times the salary of the president of
sthe United States Prices for the per-
lformance this evening are %, 35, so
band IS cents.

picture to the jury. During his ar
raignment of the prisoner Mrs. Clara
Williams, sister of the murdered girl,
who was in the witness room, became
hysterical and cried and moaned. Mr..
Richards in closing said:
"You are not to consider this case
with favor upon either side, either be-
cause one side is the state, in which
we are all SO interested, or that on the
other side is this defendant woman.
Certain it is, for there is no division
of 1t that Estelle Albin's life was taken
by the hand of Mary A. Powell. The
undisputed evidence shows that thir-
ty-one bruises or confused wounds
and 139 cuts appeared on the body.
Under her own statements this de-
PENDANT stands guilty in manner and
