comedy, 1.-The Lilac Room" from the
pen of Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland
and Buelah Marie Dix. This will be
her first appearance in this pert of the
country in her new role of Emily
Painter, an American girl abroad. The
event is of considerable significance,
for it is well known that Miss Bing-
ham never follows the beaten track in
the selection of her plays and it NAV
be confidently expected that she will
offer something striking and novel.
THE Lilac Room is said to be Z; play
of masterful situations. which blend
with a strong tale of love and decep-
ion. In most of her other plays the
owe making has been episodial but in
The Lilac Room" Miss Bingham will
igure as an out and out American wo-
nan in love with an Englishman, and
he will have number of sentimental

Local Ticket Agent DeVoss of the

the holiday travelling rush which has
been on since the middle of Dccem.
Der, was about over and that things
in railroad circles were attaining their
usual normal condition. The local
travel during the holidays has been
very heavy, in fact heavier than ever
before. There ha been a falling off
in the travel to points east and south
cast, however, and travel in these d.
rections which usually Is large has
been very light compared with that
of former holidays. \ short crop has
been one cause of the travel being
light and another is the fact that the
settlers in this country are beginning
to look upon this as home and not
