has put verse behind him in this play
Of the west and has given to the dra-
matte world a drama of great power
and vigorous prose. The poets i'm
agination. however. is back of every
scene and episode, lifting the play into
the realm Of real art.
The play takes its name from the
section Of our country in which the
first part of the plot is laid-the Rocky
mountains. natures great dividing line
between the east and the west. There
is deeper significance in the title than
this fact, however. The drama presents
the struggle between tradition and un-
fettered action, worked out in thrill
ing romance. The great division be-
tween conventionality, false pride arti-
ficiality and prudishness and the blunt
chivalry and honesty found in the
plains and amid the mountains forms
the keystone of the play.

phen Ghent, of no lineage, but with
innate nobility and soundness of heart.
Their meeting is strange, their WOO

gether stranger still. The purpose of
the drama is to reconcile these anti
thetical natures through combined
logic and love-the latter, of course,
Aas~r . L. -, l.
the play is pure drama-the struggle
OF man and woman. and the triumph
OF love over environment and custom.
The Great Divide" is a double victory
for Mr.. Miller, as the creation of the
atmosphere, which is said to be one
Of the productions Characteristic fea-
lures, gives him another opportunity
to display his supreme mastery of
stagecraft.
The first act represents the interior
of q cabin on a cactus ranch in Ari-
zona. where Ruth Jordan and her
brother and the latter's wife Polly,
lately come from Milford Corners,
Mass, are pursuing fortune by way of
the cactus fiber industry The second
shows a rugged plateau high up in

be one of the most magnificent in the

Steger. as the quack doctor, is most
successful and his songs, which he
gives with harp accompaniment, are
encored over and over. William Bur-
ress is a comedy delight as Hubert,
and May Boley is dashing and superb
Katherine. Arthur Cunningha makes
an unexpected but unequivocal hit as
the minister of war, and an amusing
character sketch is supplied by Sarah
Edwards. Christina Nielsen brings

1t is in response to popular request
that the play is revived. 1t was
crowding the Alcazar at every per-
formance when its withdrawal was
necessitated to make room for KeIcev
