Stirring melodrama, the kind that
quickens the pulses and keeps an audi
ence on the qui vive for startling eli
makes, held the attention of the Or
pheum Theater patrons last night. The
Fatal Card which carries the audi
ence from the rough scenes of a Colo
RADIO mining camp to the English draw
ingroom and garden, is play which
brings strong climaxes into play and
gives opportunity for the Buhler Com
pany to contrast with the successful
production of ''Sapho."
The male roles are we'll distributed.
AS the careless scion of wealthy
father. Mr.. BUTLER presents a strong
character in Gerald Austin, both in the
town of Rising Star, Colorado, and in
London. Chas. Place, as the criminal;
Geo. Forester, who narrowly escapes
death at the hands of the vigilantes in
Colorado, and who, despite his new
name, carries on his nefarious PROBES
sion of robbery in England, is excepf
tionally well cast, while Thos. Lowell,
his companion in thievery, does we'll.
Harry Burgess, in lighter work, is seen
to advantage.
Brenda Fowler, as the daughter of
Forester. is strikingly attractive in the
production. Miss Hayward sustains the
reputation made in "Sapho'' by assum-
ing the role of the Spanish woman
whose love and devotion for Forester
brings out her capabilities as an actress
OF great versatility.
Miss Chandler, Louise Orendorf and
Miss Wharton fill their roles most s.c-
ceptably Too much praise can not be
bestowed on Miss Wharton, whose ex-
cellent work in past productions has
made her host of Honolulu friends.
The scenery is exceptionally good
throughout. The last scene is intensely
me1odramatic.
There is considerable comedy in the
piece and all of it is good
1t is the kind of play that is espe-
cially loved by the gallery and that
means standing room only on Saturday
night The play will be repeated to-
night and Saturday night, with the
usual Saturday matinee.

most sensational tragedy that has ever
occurred in Lawrence county Mrs.

and shot him five times with pistol,

the abdomen. The aim Of the woman
was remarkable, all of the bullets tax

After emptying the revolver Mrs.
Birdsong calmly walked out and in
formed the crowd attracted by the
sound of the shooting that they would
find the result of her work on the in

on her way up the street and surren-
