The best American whisky con-

got the impression that he gave her
drugged whisky and mistreste6 her,
The family of Estes admit that Miss
Loving asked for and received drink
of whisky. but deny most emphatieal-
IL that she was the victim of mis-
treatment
From all accounts both families ae-
eept the doctrine of the "unwritten
law" but the Estes family assert that
Judge Loving acted without facts 10
warrant the course he pursued, and
that, in fact. he is guilty of grave
crime There doesn't appear to be any
desire for revenge on the part OF the
Estes family. but they insist upon the
prosecution of Judge Loving for the
purpose of vindicting the good name
of the man who was shot TO death
This Virginia case shows how i'm
portant il is that the law shall be
permitted TO take its course. II the
young man, Estes. had committed a
crime he would have been indicted
and punished if the father of the girl
had taken legal proceedings, against
him. The scandal wouldn't have
been any greater, if, indeed. as great.
as II has been and will be because Of
the course the father pursued, and
the punishment OF the young man, if
he had been shown 10 be guilty,
would have been as severe as the
crime called for.
IL is the understanding that the de-
tense viii allege that the father was
justified in doing what he did. and
that if his daughter wasn't, in fact,
miStreated, he was so informed and
acted upon that information. While
il is pretty safe TO say that a jury
will acQuit Judge Loving if il is
Shown beyond a doubt that his daugh-
ter was wronged it is pretty safe 10
assume that it will not do so if it is
simply shown that he acted under a
wrong impression.
There appear 10 be many circum-
stances 10 show that Judge Loving
acted under a wrong impression, that,
in fact, his daughter wasn't harmed
in any respect. If the contrary is
trae the community in which the
tragedy occurred ought to have been
pretty well satisfied of the fact be-
fore this. That is isn't satisfied, and
that il is earnestly denied that there
were any cause for the crime, seems
TO justify the belief that Judge Low
ing acted under a wrong impression.

too glad TO give him their support.
He has been prominent nj business

true, honest christian gentleman, who
would do honor TO any Office within

If nominated and elected 10 the Of

engagement at the Salt Lake Theatre
April 18th and 18th, in a new comedy
written especially for her by Kellett
Chambers, entitled "The Butterfly"
Not only will the coming of Miss
Russell be the theatrical event of the
week from social view point but it
marks also the first appearance in
this city of Miss Russell as a COM
edienne. Best known as singer of
the lighter rolls in comic opera, in
her present play she makes wide
departure from all previous parts,
appearing as a facinating widow with
millions to spend and an eagerness
to gain title which only her love
Tor young American and a true
heart can overcome.
The play is a clever satire of the
eagerness of American girls to win

Gentlest, most exquisite, most gen.
ial of satirists is James M. Barrie.
Few, indeed, of Our modern play
writer's, know so we'll as he what is
in the heart and mind of youth
probably no other dramatist could
effectively attack the problem play
so benignly joyous, or so humanity
interesting, as Barrie in his Alice
Sit-by-the Fire"-a twentieth-cent-
ury fairy story.
The charm of it is that it reveals
life from new viewpoint and ar
ranges familiar persons in a new per-
spective. These persons are the men
and women of the problem play"
The point of view is that of a school
girl of sixteen-the mystic age when
romance is in fairest flower and all
the world is sweet with the perfume
of what might be- And what could
be more delightful than Barries cri-
ticism of the problem play" than
letting us see it through the unsu-
speeding eyes of SWEET SIX
TEEN?
This girl, Amy Gray, is the hero
inc of .9Alice- Sit-by-the-F Fire. She
is quite sure that her mother and
father, just returned from India, be-
long to this problem play world, and,
when she hears her mother make an
appointment that confirms her i'm
preston, the girl has holy joy, in
her resolve to save her mother by
sacrificing herself to the wicked man.
Amy in carrying out her idea is
the innocent cause of complications
which are the moving springs of the
comedy. OF course the girl hasn't
the faintest conception what "prob-
lem play" really means. 1t is her
ignorance of the ugly things that
stand out in such bold relief in the
minds of grown-ups, that gives hui
NOR to her self-sacrifce and provides
the undercurrent of pathos that runs
through her romancing. AS fine as
the girls attitude is that of the moth
Ter. Blessed with an imagination
which enables her to see the whole
situation from the daughters view
point, she permits Amy to believe
that she has saved her mother from
an awful fate. 1t is b liant play,
mastery in construction, its charac-
ter drawing, so full of vaporous and
subtle humor, as to quite defy the
coarseness of analysis in the deli
cacy of threats so firmly woven.
A play like Alice Sit-by-the-
Fire." is such happy, intellectual
departure from the usual slapstick,

her husband could not take with him
The play opens a year and day after
the old millionaire has ceased to pile
up more dollars. Betsy has emerged
from the period Of mourning and
plans to enjoy life as only a pretty
widow can. Her four-in-hand and
the Duke are at THE door when a new
will is found which provides that if
she does not marry an American she
forfeits the estates and a priggish
young nephew becomes the heir.
Naturally Betsey is annoyed. With
womanly wit she observes that moth
ing is said about a third husband.
"A young musician appears at the OPP
perfume moment He is genius
adopting a strange disguise to gain
not recognition but notice. The wi
dow promises to produce his opera

door She plans to get a quick di-
vorce, marry ythe Earl and hold the
fortune. The genius accepts the pro-
posal
After ceremony Betsy does not
find the title as alluring as it was.
The genius has made a great success
OF his opera. He returns to America
to visit his chum, who also has as
guest, Madame Abaloni, an Italian
prima donna of Irish decent The
widow objects to the devotion of the
prima donna to her husband. A
paragraph in a society weekly drives
her from Saratoga, where the Duke
has followed her. She takes refuge
with her old friend Teddy Bacon.
Here she finds her husband. With
womans reason of just because"
she throws over the Duke and the
play ends happily for all concerned.
Mr.. Jos. Brooks has surrounded
Miss Russell with an excellent COM
pany. In the cast are Eugene Or
monde, John Flood, Fred Tyler, Fred

beyond ordinary comparison. MIR.
Barrie is so good naturally imperson-
al, so strictly unbiased, that when he
holds the gentle sex up to ridicule-
as he does here-not even the fair
est of the fair would place upon his
Scotch shoulders any semblance of
responsibility. His attitude is that of
one who simply points out-in a spir-
it OF pure acknowledgement re-
alities that make the little world of
youth much bigger than it really is,
Those who failed to warm their chilly
sense of humor in Alce-Sit-by-the-
Fire." certainly missed one of the

One of the prettiest dances ever
seen on any stage is the mirror dance
of Papinta, at the Orphem this week.
This little lady is not only the per-
feet rhythm of poetic movement, but
there is so much that is delightfully."-
surprising that l wondered to what
lengths stage ingenuity may not go
when it sets out to startle and be-
wilder the unoffendng spectator.
By clever arrangement of mirrors
dark curtains, optical devices and
playful lights, Papinta multiplies her
little self into dancing army of Pa
pintas
What with the changing colors of
the lights, whirling rainbows, shoot
ing stars that burst in myriad bril-
lancy, Papinta turned into an electric
mermaid and swimming in cor
uscated flame-it is enough to make
ones eyes grow beauty tined and feel
the need of smoked glasses set in an
asbestos frame.
Charlotte Ravenscroft, the singing
violinist, does a pleasing turn with
