"Under Southern Skies"

The most interesting and impresslvel play of life in the southland extant to-day is undoubtedly Lottie Blairl Parker's play, Under Southern Skies. This play has been firmly established in popular favor during the six years that it has toured the country and the popularity of its first visits seem 10 increase IS the years pass by. Mrs Parker has wisely ret aimed from any reference to the civil war, although the period in which the play is laid closely followed the days of reconstruction. Furthermore. there is not northern CT, moonshiner, or in fact any of the ciaptrap characters that are generally Introduced into southern plays as a bid for applause. Mrs. Parker tells a story of southern home life showing various characters that are familiar to Louisiana, the locality of the scenes of the play, and who, therefor, fit nat urally into the grooves assigned them Mrs. Parker achieved much fame as g playwright with Way Down East but in Under Southern Skies" she has surpassed her former effort. For in' genuity, strength and brilliancy, "Un' der Southern Skies" is a marvel O.
 stage craft done by a master hand il stage adrotness. The characters ar, finely drawn, the dialogue is crisp anc understandable, the human interest 1 | absorbing, the comedy charming, am
 the pathos is sincere. Under Southerl
