the border country owing to the fatal re-
suit of a shot he had fired, although he
maintained that it was an accident. The
Idler,' Cross, was a witness to the affair.
Upon the scene comes a brother of the
dead man. He recognizes Gentleman
jack in Sir John and threatens to hand
him over to the American authorities. Lady
Harding miss ElliotO sees by her hus-
bands troubled appearance that some
thing is wrong and so demands explana-
ton. She is informed by Cross and Is also
told how she can save her husband from
being taken back to America to face con-
%victior. An unusually strong scene occurs
here between Cross and Lady Harding.

bright and snappy and the gowns to he
worn are handsome. Miss Elliott as Lady
Harding will have a part that IS replete
with emotional possibilities and Mr.. Grew
has scored heavily with eastern stock com
panies in Henry Miller's part, that Of
Mark Cross, the idler.

be given this afternoon. There will he
matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
