HONEST AND
CLEARLY
These Qualities and Its Humor the
Chief Charms of "ouincy Adams
Sawyer" Which Comes Here
on March 10.

A prominent American dramatic critic
concluded recent play review with
this sentence: IF wholesome, honest,
cleanly play that alienates pathos and
laughter with gatling gun rapidity is
what theatre-go want they viii go
to see Quincy Adams Sawyer and il
is quite evident they are going"
, In these few words he summed up the
facts and the reasons therefore thai ep-
itomizc the success OF the great rural
play that for three years has been tour
ing the country to record breaking
houses everywhere. The great masses of
the people want their drama TO be
wholesome and clearly; they leave the
highly seasoned dramatic pablum to the
so-called society cpicures. They wont
mo problems" no suggestive DISGUISE.
tions upon topics that, outside of the
theatre, are not discussed in public.
Quincy Adams Sawyer" gives them
m honest story OF wholesome people
told brightly and with great human in
tcrcst The pathos is Of the decent sort
and is never obtrusive. The fun, while
fast and furious, is always clean. In
addition the play is given the most com
plete and elaborate production possible
TO the modern stage. The company has
been selected with special reference to
the fitness OF the players for the work
they are TO perform and the ensemble
shows that completeness which is well
coined by theatre goers When the play
is seen here at the Traders Grand Opera
House, on March 10, 1904, the proof of
all these statements will be 50 self.evi-
dent as to be indisputable.

determined that nothing should mar the

Many have asked, @Why is Quincy

has invariably been, because it's diff.

But why is it differently" "oh, every
thing is so natural, the people are just

the scenery is just as read as-any-

The husking.bee scene alone would
win fame for the play. The real red ears,

audiences all over the country.
There is genuine comedy all through

The dramatization of General Lew
wallace's great novel has long been seen
very little outside of New York. Will
liam Young, who made the dramatiza.
tion,. succeeded most admirably in the
production of drama, which not only
retains the most absolute fidelity to
General Waliace's great book, but which
does not offend the most deyout Chris
tian. Professor Edgar Stillman Kelley
has heightened the solemnity of "Ben.
Hur' with music that is positive de.
light to the ear. The stage settings
provided by Klaw & Brlinger have never
been equallcd in this country. The pic
lures of 'T'he Star of Bethlehem" ''Thc
City of Jerusalem, from the Gallery
',nhe Grove of Daphne" "1rhe Fountain
of Castalia," "Thc Chariot Race" "rhc
Vale OF Hinnon" and "The Mount Of
Olives" are remarkable exhibits Of the
best scenic art. To these are addcu
some wonderful effects in lighting, as
in the star of Betnlelcm," and in
stage mechanics, as shown in the thrill
ing chariot race. The contriyances that
60 10 make up the chariot race cost more
than $4,000. Eight horses run in full
view of the audience.
The great scene which closes the play
is the healing of the lepers on Mount
Olives. Here hundreds of people are ar.
ranged nj picturesque groupings, the
whole forming one of the most beauti-
full pictures ever put upon the stage. The
personality of the Nazarene is not shown
in the play, hut in this scene the near.
ness OF His presence is indicated with
the most intense impressiyeness by a
shaft of the purest white light. The
dramatization is carefully constructed 50
as to remove it from the domain of the
so-called Passion plays. and while the
Savior is only referred to, His tremend.
ous dominating mower Il felt with thrill
ing effect.
