mature squaW. These Indians Will APP
pear on the two evenings named
the Academy of Music and in their
ranks will be some of the very best
talent, both as To principals ana cho-
rus. The gentle and delightful story
of PoWhatan, POcahontaS and Captain
John Smith win be told on the stage,
picturesquely and in a way 10 tX ms
tory in the minds of Raleigh people.
If one sails down the historic James
river there can be seen. only Il few
miles below Richmond, what is yet
known as "POWhatan Seat which for
generations has been the home of the
Mayo family, one of the most pfonIl-
nent in Virginia ana which is con-
nccted by marriage with some OF the
most prominent North Carolinians.
The very stone is pointed out there.
and is in very plain view indeed, upon
which the head and neck Of the dar-
ing and devoted Capt. John Smith was
laid, while PoWhatan sat by. with all
the dignity and placidity of an Indian
king. while his chief skull-cracker
stood ready with Il stone axe To see
how hard the head of Smith was.
Happily that test was never made,
FOR at that moment of all moments,
the fond Pocahontas rushed in. and
throwing her lovely arms around the
meek OF non TilEgllSn udfllllS, Sftlt
some choice Indian words To the stern
PoWhatan. which caused the old war
riOr To relax his features into smile
ana tell the official knocker to with
hold his club. This thrilling scene will
be n climax i'm the operetta Pow
hatan." The early Englishmen who
arrived upon these shores declared
that they found bluc-eyed Indians,
This has been doubted for three CEN
turtles. but on the Is tn and 10th the
Veracity of these early EngliShmen
will be. proved beyond question. rs
there will be ON view some bluc-cycd
indian squaWs and more wonderful
still few of these VIII have blond
hair. Here in North Carolina we have
rather regarded the beautiful story Of
pOwhatan nc being the property Of
Virginia, Il State where pretty nearly
al the swell families claim descent
from Pocahontas, for in any gather
ing of notable ladies and gentlemen
here one can pick ont Powhata0'
and PocahontaseS to this day. The
tory s IS good as it is true and in
fact takes the very front rank among
iii Indian love affairs. Mr.. Baker,
vho has staged other very clever
things in years past. is looking after
the presentation of this, and no doubt
the public will find the good old In
