lame, has succeeded 1 rsemarkab abb ' we'll
in preserving the spirit of the book.
Variations from the story as Mr.. Major
told it have necessarily been made, but
they are slight and their only effect has
been to compress and vivify the tale.
In the course, of the play, as in the
Tudor princess Of England Z v the mad r!
Prescott, one of the most talented and
beautiful actresses Of the day. AS
"Princess Mary she dances in and
out Of every scene, as changing as a
summer sky, now naughty as only royal
princess can be, now wilful and defiant,
again sweet and tender as becomes her,
but always winsome, womanly and low
able. It is a difficult role that Miss
Prescott essays, but one to which she
proves herself equal in every particu-
lar. Never once does she fail to assert
her sway over her auditors thru all the
nature leads her. Her gayety is natural,
her anger real, her love making true,
and her quick transitions from rage to
tenderness, from one emotion to anoth-
er, are those Of the delightful Mary of
the book. And in the more serious and
sober third and fourth acts, she shows
depth and versatility surprising in
one who is 90 captivating in the lighter
passages. Miss Trescott has proved her
self present mistress Of her art, yet
has future rosy with promise. The
scenery used in staging the play has
been prepared by the best scenic artists
In New York after minute descriptions
of the different localities about which
the play is woven. The settings and
properties are beautiful and are exact
reproductions Of antique originals in
the museums Of England and France,
where the action of the play is laid. The
company in support of Miss Trescott is
not only an excellent one. but is finely
balanced. John j. Farrell has been
specially engaged as Charles Brandon,
and from the rise of the curtain to it's
final fall each member lives in the year
1913, and all together carry the watcher
to that year and keep him there, filled
with chivalric emotions and, impulses.
In all respects this attraction is worthy
the generous patronage of local theater-
goers, and indications point to pros
porous engagement. T.. j

many Of them familiar with the very

Gcrius,' and was written by William
C. and Cecil de Mile. 1t is said to
show Mr.. Goodwin in just the atmos-
phere that the public has been clamor-
ing to see him-broad comedy. If all
the pleasant things said about "The
Genius' in advance are only nearly
true, Mr. Goodwin is to be congratu
the comedy. There is no actor closer
to the hearts Of the American playgoers
than Nat G. Goodwin, and his popular
ity is as great today as it ever was.
"The Genius tells a story Of artist
life in New York, interviewer with
romance. The hero, Jack Spencer, a
wealthy young business man, thinks he
is in love with Miss Van Dusen,
young woman Of social position and art

Spencer becomes the artistic rage and
learns that being genius is a bore,
especially when he realizes that he does
not love the society woman, but really
pretty model, whom he has found in
the studio. He decides to give it up,
but finds it is as difficult to undo him
self as a genius as it was to become
one. He succeeds in restoring himself

UNIQUE
Polite Vaudeville.

An exceptionally good BILL with two
new. plays presented by. frst-class dra-
matte companies, is promised at the
Unique theater this week. In addition.
prising several high-class musical and
the plays, the comedy sketch of Joe l..
Sullivan and company will doubtless
attract the greatest attention. Mr..
Sullivan, who is sterling comedian,
is this season supported by Loie Edna
Richards, a popular vaudeville artist
and an actress Of ability. ~
Laurel and Southern, two Of the best
known performers in refined vaudeville,
will present a new comedy piece en-
titled "a Drummer's Samples in
which they have scored big hit on
the eastern circuit. With these two
capable funmakers the management is
confident that the dramatic element of
the bill will please the most fastidious.
One of the brightest novelties Of the
season will be the appearance of the
Great Eldridge, "the sandpaper man. y
whose cleverness in producing beautiful
pictures, landscapes, etc. by the use of
things now before the public. Surpris-
ingly pretty pictures are spread by this
extraordinary artist, who has something
new to offer at every performance.
Ben Mulvey, one of the best of the
new comedians, will appear in q fifteen
minute diversion which is warranted to
KEEP the crowds in good humor. Mulvev
is an all-around comedian, with
many strings to his bow, and like old
DR.. johnson, :" if he misses fire with
his pistol, he knocks you down with the
butt end Of it.

L. & N. Sai1 to Plan New Road
For More Direct Route to
New York.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 18. Special. ]
cit is said here on good authority
that the Louisville Nashville railroad.
which recently purchased the Chesa-
peake and Nashville road, will begin
work early next Spring, extending that
line from Scottsv!lle, KY, to point
branch to Norton, Va, probably near
Corbin or Jellico, and will use the new
line for more direct connection to
New York from the South.
All efforts for an official statement
have failed, but it has been intimated
here that the line now being built West
from Corbin is a part of this line.
Since the advent of the Southern Rail-
way to Nashville. that road now has
the most direct route from this section
to New York and also has another
Eastern line from the South. To meet
the short haul by the Southern and its
connections, it is said that the Louis
vile and Nashville will build this route
which will give that road the shortest
line from Birmingham and Nashville by
more than fifty miles.
In this connection it is also said that
the Louisville and Nashville will double
track its road from Birmingham to Gal
latin, Tenn, the terminus of the Ches-
apeake and Nashville line. !"

PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE WE'D.
r1r, Sam r. Wheat and Miss Zilpah
Dunbar Take the Vows OF
Welded Life. H..

Last Thursday evening, Mr.. Sam r.
Wheat and Miss Zilpah Dunbar pledged
allegiance to the solemn rites of matri-
mony, at the residence Of ED. 2. 7
Williams, he being the officiating cler-
gyman. This marriage is the culmina-
ton of long and happy courtship. and
has been expected by their many init
mate friends for quite a while. No in
vitations were issued, and no invited
friends present, both of the contract
ing parties desiring a quiet we'd
ding.
Mr.. Wheat is one of Adair counties
most progressive and prosperous
young men-a man who stands as a
true gentleman, upright and honest in
every particular, and whose energy and
and business ability make him a de-
sirable citizen in any country.
The bride is the accomplished daught-
er of Mr.. and Mrs. T. P. Dunbar, well
educated, and possessing a charming
and lovable disposition, so essential to
happiness, and indispensable in the
browning joys of welded life. She is
popular in society and enjoys the true
friendship of as many young people as
any lady in this entire country. They
will reside on Mr.. Wheat's landed es-
tate at Montpelier, one of the best
communities in our county. The News
extends the usual compliments.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS.
The Outlook Favorable tor pro-
areSSive mOvement--SOme-
thing to be Done.

The City Council, elected last. No
vember, met in their regular meeting
place, the News Office, last Thursday
night for the purpose of organizing and
outlining a course of business for the
wear. w. w. Bradshaw was elected
chairman, or in other words, he is the
Mayor, and plainly speaking, no mis-
take has been made The Council did
not complete its work, as town mar
shall and tax collector were not agreed
upon, so it adjourned to meet next
Thursday night for this and other pur-
poses. The various needs of the town
were discussed, and the best methods
will be employed to cure the defects
and bring about such other Improvements
as the Council believe to be to the best
interest of progressive community.
The subject of better and more side
walks will be taken up in due time and
the making of better streets will go
hand in hand with the walks. The
Council will investigate the cost of a
rock crusher at an early day, and it is
highly probable that one will be pur-
chased. The town will be better light
ed before the Summer comes or the
Spring disappears, but one. thing Ger
tair, wherever a dollar NPsnt, visible
results will appear. ThNeSmcil is not
only progressive, but safe on every
proposition. Itistarts in business With
no Indebtedness, the streets a fail
good condition, and $546.55 in cash to
its credit. We believe that the ball
will be kept rolling, and that the pres
ent Council will measure up to the ne
cessities of Columbia
In speaking of the present board we
feel that justice demands favorable
mention of the Council that preceded it.
AS we understand it, that board went
Into business with debt over the town,
and during its term not only wiped out
the Indebtedness, but kept up the
streets and made some other improve
ments, secured an electric light plant,
paid all cost for such fixtures and lights
up to January LIST, and turned over to
it's successor $780,
Gentlemen of the old board, the
News acknowledges your worthsto the
town, and our hearty appreciation of
your impartial, painstaking and pro-
gressive efforts.
