The BOndmnn,

One of the most interesting offerings of the season will be the coming of Wilton Lackaye In Hall Caines "rhe Bondman." MT. Lackaye will be seen here on Thursday evening.
 The Bondman, that is to say, Hall Gaines own dramatization of his novel of the same name. has been running for over a year at the Drury Lane Theatre, London. In England 1t has created a sensation and is accepted as the greatest of all the Hall Caine sue cesses. When William A. Brady visited London this summer. he secured the American rights for MT. Lackaye and Collins for the importation to America of the entire Drury Lane production. This, in itself, Is probably the greas- est undertaking ever attempted by an American manager. The novelty Of the scenes and effects. however, were such that Mir Brady felt that it would be impossible to faithfully reproduce the same without months of stdy and mut h hard work on the part of American scenic artists and mechanics. The peo- duction. therefore, which will be seen | on Thursday night. is practically m English production with an American cast.
 It is interesting to know, too that MT. Calne was willing to release the American rights to MT Brady. probab lv the one actor in America whom MT l Caine deems absolutely suitable to DOT tray the powerful character of Jason '

Ryegate. where he was born July 2S,
1920. His father, born in l794, lived q
few months over a century. Mr. Good
WINS grandfather was one OF the early
settlers Of Ryegate,
He thought the Mexican war offered
a good chance to see the country, some
thing for which he had been saving his
money. His four great grandfatIers had
served in the Revolutionary War, and
his father In the War Of 1912, being
wounded at L,tndys Lane. Mr. Goodwin
was early made d corporal and was pro-
imoted to sergeant for gallantry. He re-
fused d commission as lieutenant. He
participated in the battles Of Contreras,
lCherubusco and Alolins dele Ray, In
the taking Of Castle Chapultepee he was
| the first man over the castle wall and
this won him his promotion.
/
going home by land, Sergeant Goodwin,
had charge Of the company from Vera
Cruz to Newport. He had a chance To
take a wagon train through California
! instead of coming home, but gold had
not then been discovered and he de-
clined the offerl
After visiting about home he began To
make plans for going to California, but
met and soon married an attractive
young woman and thus barely escaped
