The Lieutenant and the Cowboy.

''The Lieutenant and the Cow
boy" the new western military
drama, which comes to the Jensen
Opera House next Tuesday night
December 18th, should not be con-
founded with the ordinary clap
trap melodrama, for this is a play
of sterling worth and is presented
by an extremely capable company,
headed by the emminent yonng
western actor, Mr.. Theodore Torch.
No better play can possibly be
offered Saratoga theatre goers this
season, for the simple reason that
nothing superior has been written.
"The Lieutenant and the Cowboy
is Il tense, heart thrilling drama
of the west. 1t combines the ele-
ments of both tragedy and comedy
but SO sanely blended that the
complete story clings to one long
after the players are forgotten.
1t is by no mean a gun" play,
but two shots being fired during
the four acts, and neither of them
