THE SHULAMITE."

The stumbingblock in the path of
Miss Lena Ashwells first tour in this
country is not that she is deficient as
an emotional actress but that we have
so many of our own who surpass her.
She is not the equal of Mrs. Fiske in
intellectually or of Miss Julia Mar
lowe in poetic feeling. I would rank
her just below the Margaret Anglin
class. She is much more popular in
England than she can hope to be in
America, for there the earth of emo
tional actresses is great and she
stands practically unrivaled.
She has come to us, unfortunately
with the milestone of a bad play
around her neck, for mo- drama in
which she might appear would be less
likely to attract us than the morbid,
turid, and all but ridiculous melo-
drama, "The Shulamite," made over
from Claude and Alice Askew's novel
of life in the Transvaal.
The inevitale triangle" of French
comedy is again spread out, this time
on the South African veldt. AT one
angle is old Dom Simeon Krillet,
rough old Boer and upholder of the
Mosaic law, who enforces with the
lash his belief that wife's firstsdnty
is obedience; at another angle is his
refined and sensitive wife, stray
flower sprung up in the Transvaal

alone until it has become habit, and
thus showing no individuality. If
woman in the beginning of time (and
as the Father of all intended, as He
made her the help meet of man, in
sisted on having voice in different
affairs of life, equally important to
women as. to men there would not
have been this belittling accusation
of no soul.
How can women without souls
bring men into the world endowed
with souls? is the question l would
like answered by those men who dare
question as to the souls of women?

Wilderness at the third angle is the
polished, self-exiled Englishman who
fills the position of overseer on old
Krillet's farm.
1t is not hard to guess what ensues.
The bullied wife finds relief in the
tender sympathy of the young pro.
duct of London culture, who makes
her promise never again to submit to
a beating at her husbands hands
Occasion soon arises for another use
of the lash and the wife stays his
hand with the lie that she is to be-
come mother
Thereupon all the gall in the old
patriarch turns to honey But soon
comes a time when the wife mus
confess her falsehood. The admis-
sion is made at moment when old
Krillet's temper is inhamed by the
chance discovery of his overseers
unspoken infatuation. He solemnly
pronounces his sentence of death up
on her, bidding her pray while he
goes to the house to fetch his gun.
A thunderstorm is raging. The
horses of Warning, the Englishman
have been struck by lightning out on
the veldt, and he staggers back to the
barn in time to save Deborah's life
by shooting her would-be murderer
The pair bury the body, spread a re-
port that the lightning killed Krillet
and settle down to life on the farm
together
From this moment-the tense scene
in the play and capably though not
brilliantly acted by Miss Ashwell-
the story quickly peters out. Deborah
let's slip the secret of the killing to
Krillet's sister and, for time, War
ing's life is in jeopardy. A happy
ending is finally achieved by bring
ing in Krillet's nephew, who decides
that the homicide was justifable,
while the sisters venal nature is ap-
peased by a division of the property.
The brutality of the story makes
it depressing and neither it's condi-
lions nor conclusions are halfway
plausible. I do not object to a grim
story behind the foot-lights but if I
must have case of "creeps I have
right to ask, at least, that it mean

WILLIS WRITES POETRY.
Battle Creek Postmaster Moved to
Send Verse to Omaha.

Omaha, Neb, June 26.-When Post
master F. H. L. Willis of Battle Creek
Neb., received an invitation to attend
the postmasters' convention in Omaha
yesterday and today the prospect OF
coming to Omaha moved him to reply
in poetic phrase.
His poem which he sent in reply to
Secretary Cook is as follows:
| want to go to Omaha,
And see some things l never saw;
To see Jim Dahlman and his rope,
To see him throw IL too horo.
To see the jury I'd not refuse,
With which the gambler bled the
News;
| would like to view them, one by one,
And gaze awhile on Dennison;
To see the sanity Patrick Grove,
And the jury, too, that let him go;
I'd like to see King Ak-Sar-Ben,
And beard the lion in his den;
And now, friend Cook, tween you and
me,
There is lots of things I'd like to see
And with the P. MS to commune,
There on the twenty-ffth of June.
