IT q
New National Tneater.

Sunday the innocent Child of nature
and the central character in Thomas Race
wards play of that's title, as personif1ed by
Miss Ethel Barrymore, Struggled up close to
the hearts of large audience at the New
National Theater last7night, and the tall
ented young actress added yet another bead
to her string of -hissroric; triumphs in the
national capital The play in itself is con-
ventional, but the excellent manner in
which it is depicted gave to the perform
ance an air of realism. To it's every appeal,
whether dramatic and emotional or light
and happy. the enactment of Sundays"
story brought forth a sympathetic response
from the audience. In the first act there
is touch of melodrama. Sunday is found
in small cabin in mythical Silver Creek,
a miners camp, where she has grown to
girlhood under the care of four rough, but
warm-hearted and honest miners. Arthur
Brinthorpe. prof1igate young Englishman
of good family, in his wanderings finds the
untutored but beautiful and innocent girl
in this t-of-the-world place. and after
almost winning her love urges her to go
with him to England, but not as his wife.
Rude1y shocked by the realization of his
meaning. Sunday orders him away, but, de-
spite her warnings. he embraces her again
and again, when Jacky, one OF the miners.
appears on the scene of the struggle, and
bullet from his revolver-the prompt adj
of the section-ends the Englishman's life.
Jacky and Sunday enter compact to keep
the secret. and Sunday goes away to a
convent for further training. The second
act takes Sunday, year later, to Brin-
thorpe Abbey, England. where Col. Brin-
thorpe, brother of Arthur, falls in love with
the American girl. and she reciprocates his
affection, although fighting against 1t be-
cause of the shadow cast over her life by
Arthur Brinthorne's manner of death. Her
situation is intensified. to her mind, by the
well-meant remarks of her lovers friend.
She declines to become Col. Brinthorpe's
wife and returns at once to Silver Creek,
where her English lover comes for her. and
In an impressive scene the details of the
tragedy are unfolded and there is happy
ending. -,s,t....
While Sunday is characteristic role
for Miss Barrymore, yet in this new piece
she displays emotional temperament in
greater degree than heretofore. and her
work in the delineation of the strong emo
lions of the character was natural and
wildly convincing. Her comedy was de-
lightful and spontaneous usual. and
there is no need for affectatien of girlish
moods in the moments demanding such ex-
preston. The company supporting Miss
Barrymore is altogether capable, and excel
lent work was done by Bruce McRae,
Charles Harbury. Joseph Brennan, William
Sampson and Edgar Selwyn.

Electricity in California.
From the Los Angeles Herald.


Although California is on the extreme
western edge of the United States, it Is on
the highest level of modern progress The
application of electricity to practical pur-
poses. for instance. has reached its highest
development in the golden state. This
mighty power of the twentieth century has
been introduced more widely in California
than in any other state of the Union. 1t was
in Los Angeles that street car focomotion
by electric energy first became a CONNER
cial success and from that beginning,
about dozen years ago, the use of cleo
trio power has broadened to all large
manufacturing industries and many others.
1t is estimated that the electric power
plants already in operation in California
represent money value of $J0.000O00.
There is now in use electrical energy equal
to HOO horsepower. and 1t is said that
expansion in progress will add $4,000 more.
And besides what is thus present and in
sight location for power plants have been
filed to cover probably 100000 horsepower.
But all the electric power already har-
messed or within reach constitutes only
fraction of what may be DEVELOPED in the
future from the resources of our vast
mountain ranges.

If few years ago someone had said you
can cure catarrh by breathing air charged
with healing balsam, the idea would have
been rldiculed, and it remained for that
eminent investigator, T. T. Booth, to dis
cover in Hyomei this method of cure
Hyomei has performed almost miraculous
cures of catarrh, and is today recognized by
leading members of the medical profession
as the only advertised remedy that can be
relied upon to do just what it claims. The
complete outfit of Hyomei costs s1.oO, and
consists of an inhaler, a medicine dropper,
and a bottle of Hyome.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler for
few minutes four times day, and it will
cure the worst case of catarrh 1t Soothes
and heals the mucous membrane of the air
passages, prevents irritation and effects d
complete and lasting cure.
In Belfast there are scores of we'll known
people who have been cured of catarrh by
HyOmei. If it does not cure you, Il. IL.
Moody will return the money you pay for
Hyomei This is the strongest evidence
that can be offered as to his faith in the
remedy
