realizing that in wealth he is no match
for Pamneno, whom he loves with all

returned from the home of his fathers,

deposits of gold that have been kept
secret by his family for years. His re-
turn is at the right time to save Pam
memo from persecution by Jack Raines,
who is threatening; her life In order to
get her consent to- marry him. ..: = h.,
: Little Fox is instrumental in find
ing Texas Howard, who has been kid
mapped, and later there is a happy
ending when he wins the heart and
hand Of Pamneno. While there is no
cheap sensationalism in the develop
ment Of this strong plot, there are stu
atoms Of intense dramatic interest that
make the play one of the most thrill
ing melodramas. The characters are
clearly drawn and true to life In all
their details, and that Of Pamneno,
which is played by, the talented young
actress, Miss Eleanor Franklin, is one
of -the strongest conceived in any mod.
ern >melodrama. With all her true WON
anly attributes she is still child of
nature and sure shot with her rife
which stands her in good stead at crit

them In character, as tshe is in grace
and beauty. There are number OF

The greatest melodrama ever pre-
scented on the Stage Of a theater is un-
doubtedly "Monte Cristo,'' the world
famous, play evolved fromt*iAlexander

great play will be the Offering Of Ralph
Stuart and his excellent company at the

Of. the play ever attempted in Minneap,

tremendous settings, and the rich cos
tunes of the seventeenth century
especially imported for this production,
will be features undertaken on magni-
ticent scale. !'@-':'.
Mr.. Stuart has been induced to pre-
sent "Monte Cristo' because of an in
sistent public demand to see him again
in heroic and romantic roles. During
the first weeks Of his, engagement, he
made hosts Of friends and established a
fine clientele at the Lyceum by the pre-
