Avoids All Pedantry.-No actor has
labored more persistently or more
successfully that Charles B. Hanford
to dispel the murky gloom of pedantry
that had been allowed to close in about
the Shakespearean drama. But fol
the lucid and vivac.ous interpretations
given by Mr. Hanford and actors oil
his type Shakespeare would have
been left the legitimate and undis
puted prey of the book worms. Mr.
Hanford's forthcoming production al

will be a grand scenic Interpretation

ply, some 80 years ago, when this
famous actor played the part of Dan
O'Hara for over six months at the old
Park theater on Broadway near TWEEN
ty-third street, New York. The the
ater-going public of those days hailed
the shoeing of a race horse on the
dramatic stage as the acme of spec
tacular realism, and the blacksmith
scene was the talk of New York for
many years following. The lasting
qualities of Kerry Cow" which has
been produced continuously for over
81 years. are remarkable, and are due
almost solely to the broad human in
terest which pervades the story, and
carries the audience along with the
ly triumphs over the grasping LANDLORD
who plots to win Nora by foul and un-
derhand means. The tale is a homely
one, but close to the hearts and feel
ings of the people.

Jim Saxon, sheriff of Medicine Lodge,
Mont, and the hero of his community
school teacher of modesty and
beauty who has won the sheriff S
heart but kept from him the secret
of a supposedly real marriage in her
teens, Liddy, a Montana diamond, an
Indian maiden who is an heiress, the
stage driver over the Great Divide, a
child of the wild west Silas from ST
Louis and many others as interesting
can be used to make a good play, then
Big Hearted JIM" which comes to

CROWD

Another round between the court

ed off at the Republican club meeting

the latter. J. w. Kayser, champion
IF the anti crowd, was elected presi-
lent Of the club over &. r Short, the

gent, by vote of IA to II. AMI the
anti's also had their way in the cleo
ton Of the other officers, W. C. Math-
ews being made secretary and L. J.,
Gray, treasurer.
The real bone Of controversy at
this particular time was over the en-
dorsement Of candidate for clerk
Of the federal court. w. G. Mathews
and J. w. Speake are the candidates,
but only the name Of the former was
presented to the club, the court house
fellows having discovered that they
were in the minority. Mathews was
endorsed. Vt is learned however,
that Rough Rider jackson at Duncan
has already been picked by Col. Roos-
evelt for this job.
Jim Barkeley, the state committee
man, read the riot act TO Editor Kay
ser, but the latter showed that he was
entirely capable Of taking care Of his
