JEFFERSON THEATRE.
BIJOU THNATRE.
Norman Hackett In "cIassmates v

Norman Hackett In "Classmates."
 Norman Hacxett will be seen in "Class- mates at the Jefferson theatre next Sat urday, matinee and night The advance sale of seats opens Thursday morning. Here is what the Columbia (S. O. State says of the production:
 On the last appearance of MT. James ONeale in this city in his immortal melo- drama, Monte Cristo" there was a handsome young leading man whose work was commended in The State Therefore. it Is more than a pleasure to record the word success when telling of the first appearance in Columbia as a star of MT. Norman Haokett. The ve- hicle Is "Classmates' This is a great play, but would fall short of success un- less presented intelligently. Last night it was given superbly. The entire New York production was given for the first time in this tour, because the staging designed by Physioc, the Columbia scenic artist is so extensively accurate that few South ern stages will accommodate the entire production.
 This Is Southern production. DeMille, the author Is a Southern man; the prin- cipal parts are Southern men at West Point; and the South can claim Norman Hackett, just because he's one of us.
 MT. Hackett has a strong supporting company, and Doris Mitchell. the lead ing woman. quite measured up to the promises as to her suitability, both with reference to her personal beauty and to her ability as an actor.
 The play opens with a scene at West Point on the Hudson, the cadets in camp. It Is the one night when ladies are per mitted to visit the camp and the illumina- lions are correct in detail There is a dno1 af aud rnor and common sense in this first act The succeeding acts are somewhat melo- dramatic, but never unreasonable in their situations.
 The third act is really the climax, the fourth being somewhat of an epilogue. There are powerful climaxes in this third act. Grewsome as Is the scene of star walton in the Amazon jungle the entire act holds the audience spellbound. It is Q play of astonishing jumps from one situ- ation to another, but an imaginative pub- lic of course forgives this and supplies the details.
 There is a lot of fun-not humor. but real fun-in this play. MT. Willard Louis does not overdo the part of Bubby Du- mole, the fiat" cadet, who has heroism and endurance under his expansive gray jacket. In fact, taat is the strong point of the play-diversity.
 There Is a savage realism in the third act which is offset by the realistic sav- agery of the cadets in the first act as they ''haze'' their ''plebes."
 The acting of the principals was indeed unusual. and the work of Stafford, the only character approaching a villain, was applauded more than once.
 But MT. Hackett is, the real actor and this was apparent in that sombre third act, when ability was acquired to handle the difficult situation. It is unselfish of MT. Hackett to use a play such as this, for in 1t the "hero'' does not stand out above all others, in the lines; it is no ''one man. play, but Mr. Hackett's work is what proclaims him to be the star.

DID NOT GET PRIZE
At A BEAUTY SHOW
As Result, Two Angry Young
Women Sue Because
Feelings Are Hurt.

South Norwalk, n. V, March ii
Their feelings hurt because they did
not get prize in the beauty show held
here recently. Isabelle Lockwood and
Mabel Dwyer have brought suit against
Samuel ]. Klein, the proprietor of the
Music hall, where the show took place.
Miss Lockwood wants ST 100 for her
wounded feelings and Miss Dwyer says
$500 will appease her. Their conten-
ton is that they were abused and that
the decision was not fair. all of which
injured their looks and wrecked their
nervous systems.

Violet goes well with the tan shades
and one can wear brown and purple
all the spring and summer. Indeed, it
is one of the economical devices of the

monious of combinations.
