1.-THE Triumph of Betty

Presents a very fetching picture Of
true American girl. reared on ranch,
taking her somewhat unconventional
manner, breezy language and Western
mannerisms into the dignitied atmos-
phere Of a high church dignitary's
home in conventional rural England.
Nothing could be more opposite than
the severe manners and views OF the
excessively prim and staid wife Of Can
on Montague Bartlett and those of her
niece from the far West. Very nat
urally. the American visitor Is mis-
understood and Is continually shock
ing her English hostess. her family
and friends.
The Capital Theater was filled at
both performances, and that they
were delighted with the work WAS at
tested by the curtain calls which fol-
lowed the fall Of the curtain OH every
act. There are some very dramatic
situations in this altogether pleasing
comedy. Particularly tense is the in
tprest in the successive interviews be-
tween Harry Bartlett and George
Wrayburn and between the latter and
Betty ,culminating in very forceful
climax.-Llttle Rock tArkl, Gazette.
