BANKERS DAUGHTER
4 MOVING DRAMA

THE Bankers Daughter presented
Ter company is an excellent weekend
performance, and drew good-sized
crowd. The play is an old one, but al
ways finds favor. 1t is splendidly
staged at the Orpheum, and the COM
pany is cast in congenial roles.
Miss Hayward (The Bankers Daugh-
teri married to one she honors, but
does not love, presents the role of a
disappointed woman in a way to please.
Miss Chandler surprised the audience
by appearing as a 12-year-old child in
blue stockings and short babyish skirts.
Louise Orendorf, as the woman-of-the
world, looking for a sensation and en-
gineering gossip, is good.
Mr.. BUTLER assumes the role of John
Strebelow, who has married the Bank
er's Daughter believing she loves him.
The part of the lover is we'll portray
ed by Mr.. Earl, and the vilIainous
French count by Mr.. Lowell. Chas.
Place plays Lawrence Westbrook and
Mr.. Wilkes, the Bankers partner. Mr..
Auerbach has a good comedy part as
a. hustling young American. Mr.. Reu-
ford does well in minor roles.
The duel scene in the fourth act is
ore of the finest yet shown by the
company. Set in a forest, near Paris,
in the vicinity of a ruin, in winter time,
the scene is intensely spectacular.
The play will be repeated tonight and
Saturday night, the latter being a sort
of Christmas eve performance

Billy Wigg ragged nightly and rent

alton. When he was admitted after 1t

4 n all the trade of the city you
might not find such another quaint
business firm as Solomon John and
Billy Wigg. The senior partner
was a gentle old giant; the junior
brisk and shaggy little dog. 1t was
Solomon Johns business to stand on a
roaring corner and sell papers; it was
Billy Wigg's business to take care of
him while he did it, for he was blind.
1t was our business-Dr. Harvey's
and mine-to pay for our papers and
pass on, but we seldom strictly minded
II. Instead we would stop TO talk to
Solomon John, to the detriment Of
trade, and to be patronized by Billy
Wigg, who was much puffed UP with
self-importance, conceiving himself to
be principal owner of the earth and
sole proprietor Of Solomon John. In

spite his airs Of superiority Harvey
preferred old Solomon; but this was a
semi-professional interest, for my med
ical friend had contracted the pamphlet
habit, which he INDUCED before sci
entific bodies made up of gentlemen
with weak eyes who knew more about
ophthalmology than can be found in
many fat tones. Solomon John was a
remarkable case of something quite IN
rronounceable, and Harvey used to
gaze into his eyes with rapt intensity.
while Billy Wigg fdgeted and strug-
gleo against the temptation to gnaw
such portions Of him as were within
reach; for Billy wigg didn't under
stand, and what he didn't understand
he disapproved Of on principle. In the
light OF subsequent events / believe
Billy's uneasiness to have been an in
stance Of animal provision.
To sec Billy Wigg conduct his master
across that millrace of traffic that
swirlec between curb and curb. as he
did every morning in time for business
was an artistic pleasure. Something
more than mere pilot was the dog:
rather the rudder TO whose accurate .
direction old Solomon responded with
precise and prompt fidelity. A tug of
the trouser leg from behind would
bring the ancient newsboy to a halt. A
gentle jerk forward would start him
again, and IN obedience TO a steady
pull 10 one side or the other he would
trustingly suffer himself to be con-

we reached the corner they were al
ready half way across the street, and
Billy Wigg, with all the strength of
terror, was striving to haul Solomon
John backward.
What's the matter with Billy?"
said Harvey, for from the sidewalk
we could not then see the cause of
his excitement.
A second later the question was
answered as there plunged into, view
from behind a car the galloping horse

Good heavens! Look at the old

Look at the dog" gasped Harvey.
With one mighty jerk Billy wigg
had torn the leash from his masters
hand. Bereft of his sole guidance in

blind man stretched out, piteous
hands, warding the death he could
not see.

"Well-rather," said Harvey heartily.
Where is he?" He turned to look for
the dog.
Billy Wigg came crawling toward us.

The eyes in Billy's shaggy little face
