al Fifth and Broadway last night
Dewey Troutman is about seven
years old and was driving Dr. Jesse
Gilbert's horse about o'clock last
night when in turning the corner at
Fifth and Broadway the horse, which
was going quite rapidly and seems
to have gotten beyond the control Of
the diminutive driver, struck an
other vehicle and the boy was thrown
out almost under the horses feet.
The animal began plunglng about,
and the boy was in imminent danger
of being trampled on or kicked,
when TWO young women who were

and quickly and not without consld-
cradle peril to ther OWN safety,

When the manager of "The Win
ming Girl" said he had an all-star
cast, he did not miss it far. When
the largest audience of the season
gathered at the Kentucky theater
last night to see one of the best and
brightest shows on the road, 1t dis
played remarkably good Judgment,
for The Winning Girl is all that was
claimed for 1t. 1t is a winner. 1t is
called Gross country comedy with
musical accompaniment" and is not
included in the long list of musical
comedies, but whatever 1t is, 1t is
there with the goods. The troupe was
delighted with the large and enthusi-
astic audience last night and the au-
dlence was delighted with the large,
talented and ambitious troupe, so the
combination made the happy presen-
tation one long to be remembered.
The play. comedy or whatever II
properly is, has many laughable eli
makes. 1T also embraces some OF the
best talent in the profession.
Hits were made by Caroline Hull
as Violet Dare, the Broadway foot
light favorite; Blanche Deyo as Ger
maine Du Monde, owner of MANI
cure parlor; Mabel Fenton as a So
ciety matron: Charles J. Ross as the
self-made Julien Endicott; Fred
Bond as James Ellngham, "on the
right side of the market" Fletcher
Norton as the reporter, and Mart e.
Kelsey as Sandy Graham, from the
west.
The settings are good, the chorus
splendid and the music is bright and
tnneful The main thing noticed by
Paducah theater goers was the excel
lence of the cast. 1t is seldom that
such an array of talent has been seen
in one combination and every charac-
ter dellIeatIon was perfect.
Miss Deyo's dancing made a dis
tlnctive hit. She is one of the most
celebrated on the road, is. very young
so young that her mother travels
with her-and has been all over the
world. She is in addition pretty and
highly educated, and she gaily dane
ed her way into the hearts of Padu-
cab theater goers early in the even
ing. Manager Thomas Roberts is to
be congratulated. on being able to
land such uniformly fine attraction |
for Padueah. Mr.. Frank Perley, who |
