Shaun Aroon.

The negotiations that have been pend ing between the Douglas School and Prof. Hepburn for the production of Shaun Aroon, in this city, under the auspices of the school, have come to an end, because of a difficulty which could not be overcome at this time. However, the Professor assures us that Douglas Island people will have an opportunity to witness this beautiful Comedy Ora ma, on Saturday, Nov. l7th, as previ- ously announced. A local lodge will take up the matter and will be made a sharer in the proceeds. The particu- lars will be announced later. Shaun Aroon, as produced in the cities of Fairbanks and Cleary, under the direc' tion of Prof. Hepburn, excited much favorable comment. The company to appear here is made up of partly local talent, and partly professional artists and the lovers of the drama may be as- sured of treat.

PLAYJ FOR LUEEE
1T THE THE4TERS

Frenzied finance has at last found its
way into the drama by way of THE Lion
and the Mouse,"s new American play
by Charles Klein, that will be presented
at the Columbia Theater tomorrow even
Ing. The play, which more than one
critic has said comes. dangerously near
to being the great American drama, has
had an extraordinary career up to date:
In Chicago it achieved the unique distinc-
ton of being the only play known to have
been presented three times in one day,
this following upon n week Of daily per-
formances. It's subject is certainly apro-
pos-the corruption of politics by the plu-
tocrats. The character of Ready Mon
ey'' Ryder the particular plutocrat ex-
Rockefeller and Henry Rogers, while the
mouse" whose greater wit confounds
the Hon. is supposed to have been
drawn from Miss Ida Tarbell, the ex-
poser of the Standard Oil methods
The stories of the play and the people
at any rate to a certain extent coincide.
The story goes that Miss Tarbelrs
father was ruined by Rogers, and
Miss Tarbell,s expose of the Standard
Oil methods followed thereupon. much
as in the play Shirley Rossmore's
father is bounded almost to his death by
the plutocrats, whose schemes he will not
forward against the interests of the peo-
pie, and afterward proved guiltless of
the charges brought against him through
the efforts of his daughter. The love in
terest is 'ingeniously complicated by its
being Shirley Rossmore upon whom the
son of Ready Money" Ryder sets his af-
fections.
The cast that will present the play here
promises most fortunately. 1t is headed
by Arthur Byron, whose Hungarian no.
bleman in THE Stubbornness of Gerald
.ine'' is still delightful memory here
Miss Gertrude Coghlan will be the Shir-
ley Rossmore, and If there is anything in
heredity she SHOULD be a good one. Miss
Coghlan is a daughter of Charles Cogh-
Ian of famous memory and a niece of
Rose Coghlan-a promising ancestry The
