DE yRIES IN THE DOUBLE LIFE"
An Unworthy Successor 70 "a Case OF
Arson'' Gives the Actor Little Scope.

An Unworthy succe ssor TO "a Case OF
Arson" Gives the Actor Little Scope.
.Tbe Double Life" with which Henri
de Vries opened his second Broadway
engagement last night at the Bijou. is not
likely to repeat the diminutive artistic
Juror that his first play produced.
H~eyermann's "A Case OF Arson was the
work Of a master in realism, authentic,
convincing, poignant; and it Afforded the
versatile Dutch actor an opportunity to
create in minutest detail seven distinct
and strikingly contrasted characters, all
blending into an artistic whole.
The present play has only two characters
and not very striking ones. 1t tells the
story of a young man Of birth and fortune
who loses his memory as the result OF an
accident and lives twenty years a a common
miner. when a sudden shock restores
him to the personality Of his lost youth.
IL is the work of an amateur, and while
prevaiingly simple and often sympathetic,
IL il sometimes las in a quite needless pro-
lopue in two scenes) bare to the verge OF
crudity. In its chief scenes it is quite
false. -.
The actor did much to redeem it, but his
cause was predestined to failure. When
the dramatic eggs come from the theatrical
cold storage the omelette dramatic some
what savors.
commercially its only advantage is that
instead OF the heaItrending tragedy of its
Predecessor il has a happy ending. In his
two personalities the hero has been first
a mine owner and then a common miner
in his own mine; and the restoration OF his
completed consciousness brings a happy
outcome to a bitter strike, and mstrimony

NEW ACT IN "PETER PAN"
sIaude Adams Welcomed on Her Return
to the Empire.

y" "C NhIphC'
The childran we're too busy last night
enooping after Santa Claus to welcome
back Peter Pan" but the Empire Theatre
overlooked with grownups who took a
chlld's delight in the adventures of the
little boy who would not grow up and in the
terrible pirate. Capt. James Hook, swear
ing by birthstone and tonsils.
No doubt many in the audience had seen
Maude Adams in Mr.. Barrie's delightful
play, not once but several times, and had
followed Peter Pan with breathIess interest
and with tears of which they were not the
least bit ashamed, but the return had all
the freshness Of the first performance.
Besides, there was a new adventure of
Peter, the dreadful pirate and his wicked
crew, the boys OF Never Never Land and
motherly little Wendy, an adventure which
Mr.. Barrie has put into a new act. Nothing
was cut from the original text OF the play,
but the curtain was rung up at 8 O'Clock
sharp. giving an extra thirty minutes.
After Peter had flown into the nursery
OF the Darling family, in search Of his
shadow, and had persuaded Wendy Mora
angelo Darling that the motherless boys
cfNeyer Never Land needed her TO mother
them, he taught Wendy and her two brothers
70 fly, as everybody remembers.
Then the bloodthirsty Capt. Hook, Peters
1mplacable enemy lays plans to poison
the children and Peter with cake that is
ICED with green sugar, so that he can steal
Nendy, for the pirates need a mother too.
~ would have gone i'll with Peter Pan and
his followers il the crocodile who had al
ready enjoyed a hand of Hooks and who
mad got a taste for him hadn't waddled
up, an eight day clock ticking noisily inside
oihim and warning the pirate.
IdTt Hook got revenge by capturing
Tiger Lily, the indian Princess, whose band
guarded Peters undergrown home and
narooned her o a rock. What happened
then was told in Act H., the new part OF
ue play. When the curtain went up there
was a murmur of genuine pleasure. A mer-
mad with long red hair was singing on
Marooner's Rock, combing her hair as she
sang. The rock was in the midst OF a tur-
qNolse sea, a sea OF changing lights and
Ipplng waves.
Since, the pirate lieutenant, threw Tiger
Lay on the Rock, but Peter Pan, who had
sWqm u the Rock, mimioked Hooks voice
and ordered the pirate to release Tiger
Luy. When Hook came he caught Peter
and wounded him in the shoulder so that
re couldn't swim or fly. Wendv, who had
Rown out TO IN Rock, begged TO die with
reter az the tide rose, but Peter caught the
sulng OF a kite, pulled IL down, tied Wendy
tolt and the kite bore her safely away.
The tide washed Peter OF the rock, but
Se caught at q sea gull's nest which had

THANKS, AWFULLY.

One of our best printed and
edited papers on the Western
Slope is the PAoNIA NEWSPAPER,
by Charley Rawalt. The only
fault we have to find is that he is
a little too much on the Bryan
order. His ideas on Roosevelt
are right and also his ideas on
several OF the papers published in
Delta County. He is able to
discover the difference between
hot air and straight talk and that
is more than few of our con-
tcmporaries seem able to do.
Rawalt is no gutter. We are glad
to count him as friend If for no
other reason than that.-Delta

Patterson has blamed little to do

this time. just the opposite from
where they were on the beet sugar

about time that all OF you realized
that there has got to be a stop
put to making the democratic
party the concubine of the util-
ity corporations OF Denver. We
want Denver to furnish us a ma
jority this fall for the state ticket.
II they go into a corrupt deal in
the spring election their influence
is weakened for effective work

right to criticise. and we do not

mirer of Senator Patterson, helped
to the extent of his ability to
place him in the high Office which
he ornaments. but does not take
orders from him or hesitate to
crIticise when we think he is
wrong. We do not think he is
wrong in fighting the Speer-Evans
combination. 1t he was support

LAST Sunday in Unity church,
Denver, Rev. David Utter pro-
mounced words that would have
driven him from the pulpit twenty
five years ago. He virtually de-
mied the idea of the immaculate
conception, announced that Christ
was the child of Joseph and Mary,
and the Son OF God only as all
humanity are the children of God.
Thus again it is seen how chang
ing years destroy idols. David
Utter's remarks last Sunday will
be vigorously criticised but in a
quarter of a century the church
will have endorsed them.

the English system of government

launched into the meat of his ad-
dress, which was the recommen-
dation card system enforced by
the Criople Creek mine owners
since the last big strike. Attor-
ney Scott denounced the system
as barbaric, un- American and quite
in keeping with the spirit of the
dark ages.
In part, Mr.. Scott's address was
as follows:
Certain interests assumed to
elect and control our public
affairs to place the stamp of its
approval or the denial of civic
rights to every person within our
border.
"The reason assigned tor the
plan placed against the Miners
union was its tyrannical control
of labor and its interference with
the rights of the employer. to-
gether with its unlawful and even
criminal methods OF enforcing its
edicts.
"But in its place this association
has established tyranny certainly
as unbearable, and within. its
scope a result, the tendency OF
which has been to paralyze every
legitimate calling and to depre-
ciate the value of every other
investment.
ut will not profit to argue
against the original invocation of
the card system; it is sufficient to
say that if there was ever time
when it served a useful purpose
that time has long since passed.
1t was never attempted to be
justified except by reason of ne
cessity, and then apparently upon
the theory that necessity knows
and recognizes no law.
There exists the same legal
and moral right of this association
to declare who shall or shall not
practice law or conduct a store as
to proclaim who shall or shall not
have the right to toll in the mines.
1t represents the spirit only OF
the dark ages 1t is repugnant to
every principle of human liberty.
1t is a denial of the very right to
live.
The card system under the
narrow. merciless and tyrannical
plan by which it has heretofore
been conducted has made and
still max e, the labor in our mines
feel tenure is uncertain for a
single day.
Il can not believe that the real
mine owners desire any such re-
suit, and | feel that such men will
be willing and anxious TO right
the wrong if properly understood" "

CAMPAIGN AFTERMATH.

The result of the election seems
to have added what little brains
the Booster editor possessed
His diatribe anent what the coun-
Gil would do and his bald as
sertions regarding the utterances
of this editor are so self evidently
false as to need no denial except
for the satisfaction of the act.
We never said that the bonds
would not be n. gotiated. We did
saw that if they turned out faulty
as was asserted by the opposition
that no evil result would obtain
as the Good Government council
would not grant franchise in any
event. This we felt justified in
saying because the vote was SO
clear that not the slightest doubt
exists as to the will of the people.
The charge that we said Meth
odist votes could be bought tor
two dollars apiece is absolutely
false. We helped elect one
Methodist whom we are satisfied
could not be purchased by all the
wealth on the town site. Metho-
dists will assay about the same as
other classes of citizens. Some
gold will be found and some
country rock. We should not
think of offering the Booster
editor so large sum as two dol
lars for any virtue that he is sup,
posed to possess. Our estimate
of a fair price would be about
$1.25 if we were in position
where we had to have him. And
we do not censure the church for
having black sheep They can
not afford to kick them out. All
institutions have undesirable
me mbership. Saloons have Gus
toners that they would gladly dis
pense with, but thew find it inn
possible to affront them sutficl-
emily to secure their withdrawal,
and to these causes we attribute
the many members whose acts
and utterances cast discredit on
the various churches with which
they are affiliated.
A great deal OF consideration
should be shown the Booster in
whatever they say regarding the
election. They got fearful lick
ing and are entitled to do Ger
tain amount of sobbing. In time
the effect will wear off and then
they will become cheerful and
pleasant as of yore. When the
fall campaign comes on they Will
be as full of hope as dog is OF
feas, will get another licking. go
into the dumps for month and
SO on ad infnitum.
No matter what the Booster
saws the Good Government peo-
pie are in and will stay in. They
will administer the affairs of the
town and petitions signed ever SO
literally by supporters of the tax
payers ticket for appointment OF
their favorites will probably meet
with cool reception. Slanders of
the appointee will have no effect
to secure a change in the person.
mel of the marshal. The board
was elected to look after these
things and may be depended on

its gang might as we'll lay down
and be quiet.
