A majority of the troupes that come to Montgomery find 1t Impossible to get here before l o'clock in the after noon, which does not give them time to get ready for a matinee.
 The last week has been an exception ally good one from the viewpoint of those who like variety. Dashing cohan musical comedy, Western meiodrama, . college comedy piece and Beresford's unique comedy were all at- fractions of the highest order.
 The attendance during the second week at the new play house was serf- oaisly interferred with by rain, but has been considerably better than 1t was 1t the old theatre. indicating that after Ill there are many who like comfort n agreeable surroundings while at lending the play.
 This weeks bill is another attrac- tivB one. though not so full as last week. Many will be pleased that Soi Smith Russells old favorite. Peaceful Valley" is to be presented Edward Saxon is to play the role of Hosea Howe. He has won much applause by his intelligent delineation of this unique character part in which Rus sell won such fame.

 There will be another full week Of vaudeville that promises to be very amusing at the Majestic
 "Peaceful ValIey.'
 An excellent company presenting revival of Peaceful Valley" new production of thst fine old play of pas toral life with it's quaint characters and it's general atmosphere of whole son1eness will be seen Wednesday at matinee and night performance.
 The play was originally presented by the late Sol Smith Russell and in the character of Hosea Howe, the gawky but wholesouled country boy who is working his way through college. that great comedian achieved perhaps his greatest triumph.
 The play tells simple and singular ly natural story of the doings in a quiet and restfu1 valley in New Eng land. As a contrast to the quiet and simple country folks several summer boarders from the great city of New York are introduced and the complica- tions which arise out of their presence at he Ayrtop Hotel in the White Noun tains are logical and natural sThe play abounds with quaint humor and when the note of pathos is sound ed it rings true There Is an absence of maudlin sentiment such as one has grown accustomed to seeing in rural plays. MT. Kidder, the author, has striven to create real, vital living characters and the continued success of his play proves that he has accom- plihed this very thing. Edward Saxon, well known charac- ter comedian. assumes the role of Hosea Howe, in which Russell triumph ed and invests 1t with quiet humor and with & gentle dignity which have won him continued and enthusiastic approval
