BYRON'S WORK IN !.
LION AND MOUSE"
ALMOST CLASSIC
art of Financier in Klein's Great
Play Gains in interest
( with Familiarity.
)ROTHY DONNELLY IS
\ A WINSOME SHIRLEY
st Is Excellent Throughout
and Play Well Repays a
H.. Second Study.

II looks as though 1.-THE Lion and
The Mouse" is booked to enjoy a run as
long as that of 1.-THE Old Homestead. ;
Last night marked the third time it
has graced local boards, yet there was
no lack. of enthusiasm on the part of
the big audience. OF course this was
due IN a great measure to the capa-
bility of the principals. but If these
players had not had the lines and stu
atoms where would they have been?
There is something in this play of
Charles Klein's that grasps your inter
est and holds it.
Oliver Doud Byron gives us a John
Burkett Ryder who Is not as hard
hearted as he SEEMS; who ha won his
way to the topmost pinnacle of fnan-
cial success by storming and buster
ing, attacking people so suddenly thai
they did as they We're told without
stopping to reason it out. He's a
colossal bluff, Is oliver Doud Byron's
John Burkett Ryder. People are
afraid of him, not for what he is, but
for what they think he Isl When his
son openly defies him he is completely
fabbergasted at first, and then he's
rather gratified. And though he fights
and storms and threatens to the very
last, he's glad when Shirley Rossmore
attacks him, flinging her scorn and
contempt In his face-glad that some
one has called his lifelong bluff.
oliver Doud Byron let's you see both
sides of the character he plays, and
does 1t so we'll that he makes you like
the old man and forgive him his sins,
even as Shirley did.
AS for Shirley herself, never a more
wlnsome portrayal of that clever, brave,
lovable American girl was given than
that offered by Dorothy Donnelly, who
has risen like a meteor since she first
nodded greeting across the footlights.
Miss Donnelly has a girlish style that
Is all her own. In the first act she
charms, in the second she convinces
and in the third, her big scene, she
claims you for her own, working up to
that climax of glorious wrath step by
step, letting her anger mount, like
yours would, until nothing can stem,the
torrent until it exhausts itself. 1t is
evident that Miss Donnelly carefully
aims for the natural. AT no time is lei
bearing theatrical. or her gestures ex-
aggerated.
Malcolm Duncan makes a pretty good
Jefferson Ryder. One wishes he
would put more force into certain of
his strongest lines, which fall rather,
fiat from being delivered in almost cof4
orless manner.
AS a. whole, the cast is excellent, and.
despite Its service, the scenery has not
been allowed to grow shabby. 1t is a
play that you witness a second time
without being sorry you came.

MUST PAY SHARE
OF EXPENSES FOR
BOUNDARY FENCE

Magistrate c. w. Emery announced
his decision in favor of the plaintif
in the case of G. c. Lee versus Jane
Madison, this morning. This case is
of interest TO farmers. So far as
this court is concerned, It settles a
point of law in regard to boundary
fences. G. c. Lee fenced his land on
the Hinkleville road, and Jane Madi-
son. owning adjoining land, ran a
boundary fence to Mr.. Lees fence.
thus making his partition fence serve
for her land as well as his. Through
Attorneys Burns & Burns, Mr.. Lee
sought to recover from her half the
cost OF the partition fence. Wheeler,
Hughes 4 Berry represented the de
PENDANT and advised her to disconnect
her boundary fence with Lees fence,
and build a separate partition fence
on her land After this new fence
was built, the defendant refused to
pay for half of Lees fence. but Mag
istrate B!eich held that the suisse
quent action did not affect the orig
lnal act of making Lees fence serve
as a partition for both farms.
