''WhirlWind. +"

The musical comedy success of the
present theatrical season is "Whirl
wind, ? which comes to the opera house
ON Friday, Dec. 81. 1t is the very
newest Of the music shows and it has
made as great hit as any musical COM
edy in recent years From its first pro-
duction down to this time "Whirlwind'
has been playing to big business and has
pleased the people immensely.
"Whirlwind'' is perfect riot of fun
and music, but the play tells charm
ing story. In other words, it has a
plot, and that is something that most
musical comedies donot have. Manager
j. P. Goring made careful study of
what the public wants in music shows,
and he has found that a musical COM
edy with an interesting plot is the most
popular form of amusement. In
"Whirlwind" the performers must be
actors as well as singers, and Manager
Goring has selected an all-star cast for
the piece. With two hours and half
of cheerful, lively comedy, with eighteen
of the seasons newest song hits, many
of which were written especially for
"Whirlwind, large chorus of beauti-
full girls, all of them beautiful singers
and dancers-all this presented with
an all-star cast, accounts tor the furore
of praise that has been shove red on
"Whirlwind.

Maude FeaIy-Gennett.

> Despite her arduous work of APP
pearing in the principal role in The
Illusion of Beatrice" Maude FeaIy,
the youngest star on the American
stage, finds time to deliver many adj
dresses before the high schools and
colleges in many cities in which she
plays. The fact that Miss Fealy was
leading woman for the late Sir Henry
Irving, at the age when most young
women are still at college, has APP
pealed strongly to the young college
women of America and Miss Fealy is
constantly being invited to appear be-
fore the students and deliver a short
address. The charming and girlish
personality of Miss Fealy finds every
opportunity in The Illusion of Beat
rice" which was written for her by
the talented dramatist, Martha Nor
ton. The Illusion of Beatrice" will
be presented by Miss Fealy at the
Gennett on Saturday night and a large
fashionable audience is expected to
greet the star.

From His Train and

FELLOW TRAINMAN SAVED HIM
BREAST BONE FRACTURED BY
THE FALL.
ALMOST UNDER WHEELS.

J. II. Brown, conductor on a
north bound Panhandle freight train,
was seriously injured Tuesday even
ing about O'Clock at Collinsville. O..
He is now at his home in this city,
over GIG Main street, and will recover
despite the fact that when the acct
dent occurred he was expected to
die.
Mr.. Brown had a most fortunate
escape from death and probably would
have been crushed to death under the
wheels of his own train but. for the
quick eye of one of the train crew.
Pulled Out Just in Time.
While the train was standing on a
siding at Collinsville Mr. Brown got
between two box cars to make an air
brake connection. Just as he did so
the engine backed in and Brown was
damned in between the two cars. A
brakeman noticed Browns lantern fall
and he rushed at once to his assis-
lance, pulling the injured man from
the tracks before the wheels of the
forward car could back over his pros
trate body.
Brown was taken off the track in
an unconscious condition and was sent
to Richmond on passenger train No
1, arriving here at 11:15 o'clock Tues
day evening.
Breast Bone Fractured.
The attending physician states that
he has been. able to make an exam
ination of Mr.. Browns injuries and
has found that he escaped with only
a fracture of the breast bone There
were no internal injuries as feared.
He suffers considerable pain as a re-
suit of his injury but will not be con-
fined to his bed long. Mr.. Brown is
one Of the best known men on the
Richmond division of the Panhandle.
