the next few months will surprss
even its English stockholders. Tn.
advance in the price of common stock
will also be surprise to them"
The recent strength and activity Of
Erie is only the beginning Of the move.
The stock is recognized today as ,
Hartman issue and under the ssms
speculative influences which control
the price movements in Southern
Pacific and Union Pacific, the stock
should be one of the most attractive
for trading on the New York list.
Erie has the advantage Of being low
enough in price to admit Of its beina

with safety and for this reason alone,
it should be inviting to the small
trader.
Before the present move is over, tho
stock ought to sell at least as high a.
$50 per share, and if the bull market
which we expect, develops during tho
winter, the price predicted six weeks
ago would not look high for it.

the scenes of thousands of brutal muir

and intrigues. Many plays have been
| written around these crimes and Incl
dents The majority of them haze
/ failed, because, while melodramatic and
exciting, they have lacked the essential
| element of heart interest OF the few
successful plays dealing with the lives
of the dope fiends and others who in
! habit the Chinese quarters of New
York, none have been more successful
| in the melodramatic class than "China-
town Charlie" and this is the play thai:
has been selected as the offering at the
Grand theatre the current week, the
engagement opening tonight and run
ming through until Saturday night, with
special matinees Wednesday and sat
urday.
chinatown Charlie" is the story of
the degradation and subsequent recla-
nation OF a dope fend-a man who has
given years of his young manhood over
to the enjoyment of the opium pipe. II
remains for a pure. wholesome girl 10
bring the man back 10 his senses, his
friends, honor and position in the out
side world. There can be no mistake
In the quality of the play and its sem
sationalism. and therefore il is nos at
all surprising TO note the uncommon
interest being manifested IN the pre-
duction which the Earl Burgess COM
pany will present at the Grand. IT is
a thriller of gigantic force. as wen as a
stage entertainment of fine moral sig
nificance.
The story of. the play gives an ac-
count of New Yorks hidden life, and
aims at a great moral lesson, proving
the old proverb-"Iv is never too late TO
mend"
Horace V. Noble will be seen in the
role of chinatown Charlie" the dope
fiend Among actors there is consid-
cred no more difficult role to play than
that of dope fiend, for the actions of
such a person are as great a perversion
of nature as possible, and TO properly
portray such a character brings into
play all the versatility and Temporal
mental equipment Of the actor.

PROMISE OF THE THEATRES.
Caught in the Rain. Z"

Perhaps no event during the current
season will attract more attention than
the appearance at the Salt Lake thea
ire next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, of William Collier in the brilliant
three-act farce. Caught "a the Rain, -
by Mr.. Collier and Grant Stewart. This
is the play that all New York talked
about last season, where il was played
at the Garrick theatre in the metropO-
lis from the Christmas holidays to the
middle of July.
Here is the story OF Caught in the
Rain" Dick Crawford. 2 young min
ing engineer, who thinks nothing Ct
risking his life 10 save an injured
workman. but who runs away at the
sight of a pretty face. is driven by a
-sterrific storm under the shelter OF a
protecting awning. There, 70 his Gis-
may, he fnrs the prettiesL girl he has
ever seen, Muriel Mason. He is COM
PEELED to entertain her during their en-
forced stay under the awning, and he
tries TO believe that he is anxious 10
get rid of her, but il is very evident
zhat he is in love. Unfortunately for
the smoothness of loves course, Dick
is mistaken as to the identity of the
girl. whom he believes TO be Nellie
Gardiner. When later he has an OPP
pOrtunity TO win a fortune by marry

the offer on the ground of his love for
another girl. The "Other girl Is, OF
course the real Muriel Mason. MuFiel
overhears the rejection Of her hand
and. I'm ignorance of Dicks mistake as
10 her identity, accepts the offer of
marriage of his rascally partner. The
marriage ie postponed from time TO
time, and year later. when she and
Dick meet AT a hunting club in the
Rockies, all is explained and the BASH
ful young man wins the girl of his
choice. AS Dick Crawford, Mr.. Collier
has the best role OF his career as a star.
The great merit of Caught in the
Rain" aside from its dramatic mo-
ments ana its genuine heart interest, is
It's clean, wholesome American fun.
There is no funnier comedian on the
stage than William Collier, and in the
new farce he has abundant OppOTtuni-
ties for fun making. The exception

man for Mr.. Collier includes Albert
