A story of the people tersley told
in language that can be understood
by all is the "Moonshiners" the
beautiful story of the Virginia
mountains which comes TO the La
Junta Theatre, Saturday evening
January Goth. The play is deep in
plot, strong in action and with a
story of great charm and beauty
throughout. comedy is plentifully
supplied by a number of distinct
characters dealing materially with
the plot and story of the play.
There is the negro, to be found in
such a locality as the Moonshiners is
written of. not the ordinary fiashily
dressed darky to be found every day
on the streets, but the old time
southern negro, who still clings to
the fore de war massa. In this in
stance the negro is affected with a
disposition to sleep at every possible
and impossible occasion. and the
habits gets him into many varied and
amusing situations which go far
toward the laugh producing part of
the play. The negro is ably assisted
by a Professor of Palmistry. who
later turns out to be a revenue
officer. and Ragsie. child of the
mountains.

Is greater than that Of any other Continental
