Faust.

The Lexington public was given
the opportunity of witnessing good
production when a very competent
company, headed by the great actor,
Louis Morrison, in the role of Me-
phisto, presented the play Faust"
at the New Grand Opera House
Thursday night. To many of the large
audience which greeted Mr.. Nor
rison and his company in their initial
appearance on this stage, the play
was familiar and without doubt all
have no hesitation in prononncing
Mr. Morrison's presentation as first
class.
The play is an old one, but never
theless it continues to be popular
with theatre-goers. 1t has been pre-
sented in this city several times but
even to those who have seen it before
Mr.. Morrison's reading of the prin,
cipal role proved intensely interest
ing.
In his Interpretation of the part OF
Mephisto, Mr.. Morrison displayed
astonishing power. This, the most
important part of the production,
calls forth much more talent and eff
fort in its reading than does any
other in the cast, and Mr.. Morrison's
remarkable powers we're shown tc
great advantage. While equally
good at depicting humor, irony and
emotions, he would frequently thrill
his audience by a burst of acting
which showed his mastery of the
subject.
Wn. Devere, as Valentine was
easily the second best number of the
cast. Mr. Devere has fine voice
and stage appearance and is perfect
ly suited to the part. Miss Evelyn
Russell was very good as Marguerite.
Miss Russell is pretty and graceful
and reads her lines distinctly and
naturally. She capably handled the
dramatic scene in the dungeon in the
last act. Miss Lillian Allen wa.
good as Martha, the village gossip
The scenery and stage-setting we're
beautiful, artistic and at times vivid,
notably the scene Of the witches
carnival on Mount Brocken. The cos
tuning was elaborate.
Louis Morrison must not be con-
fused with Lewis Morrison, an
other distinguished actor, who ha,
appeared here as Mephisto in Faust
f. a.

The Temple Quartet.

The Temple Quartet, which comes
here Wednesday, February, 9th as
the second number of the lecture
course, is probably the best travelling
male quartet in existence. It has
been on the boards for more than 25
years and has always been a leading
attraction. Every member is an ar
tist as soloist and the four sing to-
gether beautifully.
The Quartet has not been heard in
Lexington for years. It's last ap-
pearance here was in Hagen's old
remodeled barn, which bore the dig
nifed name of opera house" The
entertainment then was delight and
on the strength of it many who very
seldom go to the New Grand will at
tend the concert next week.

Meeting VIII be Held At
HigginSyille Court House
Today.
HAS BEEN EXPECTED
Petitions Asking The County Court to
Set Date for Election VIII Probably
Be Circulated.

After various rumors and conject-
ures and mistaken announcement
In the Kansas City Star, move for
local option in Lafayette county out
side of Lexington and Higginsvllle
has been started.
There will be a called meeting of
those interested in the movement at
the Higginsyille court house today
for the purpose of organizing a
County anti-saloon league. If the
meeting is at all successful-and
probably enough Higgiusville people
will attend to make it so--peti-
tiOns VIII Immeulateuly be sent to all
parts of the county asking the coun-
ty court to set date for the election.
There is not much doubt in regard
to the ability of the promoters Of
ne movement to get sufficient signers
the petitions.
Us action is regarded as an out
of the local option fight at
syille and win probably be
10y the same people. Ananti-
sn league has already been or
ganized at Waverly and several
others, it is rumored, are contemplat-
ed.
The contest is expected to be lively
as some localities are strongly in
favor Of local option and some are
strongly against it.
The towns which would be affected
are Concordla, Corder, Aullville,
Napoleon, Alma, Wellington and
Waverly. Odessa and Dover have
haa saloons, butare now without them
and would not be affected by the
result Of the election.

ELKS WILL
GIVE SHOW
Not a Minstrel, However,
But a Real Musical
Comedy.
CALLED THE FALL GUY"
J. A. Darnaby, a Professional Stage
Manager viii Coach and Mrs. Darn.
ably VIII Direct the Music

The Lexington Elks will give an
entertainment on Monday, February
II and preparations are being made
to orer the most elaborate produc-
tion ever made in Missouri with
local talent.
They have closed a contract with
J. A. Darnaby and Miss Anne
Saunders to rehearse and produce
this play with music entitled "The
Fal Guy"
This play is booked from the Klaw
and Erlanger office and will open
professionally in Chicago next Sep
tember.
Mr.. Darnaby, the author of Book
and Lyrics and Miss Saunders who
has written the music, are the
authors of "Bagdad" now in its 4th
successful season.
"The Fall Guy" was to have opened
in Chicago Christmas week and
scenery, costumes and effects we're
complete with that date in view.
The financial crisis decided the
owners and hackers to defer the
opening until next season.
The author, being anxious to "try
out" the piece and musiC for copy
right purposes, arranged for local
production at the home of the
authoress, Mexico, Missouri,
and it was so succ essfuI
that the Elks entered into negotia-
lions for the play and closed con.
tracts here with Mr.. Darnaby NSat-
urday night
All the wardrobe, costumes ard
special effects will be brought here
at once and rehearsals started on
Wednesday night.
Many of Lexington talented
young ladies and gentlemen will be
asked to cake part in the produc-
tion.
Mr.. Darnaby, who will stage the
production is the author of "a
Woman's Will,n a melodrama which
was vehicle in which starred Fred
Fremont for three seasons. Mr..
Fremont at that time was the best
leading man in the west.
The next season Mr.. Darnaby
staged and managed in conjunction
with VIM. Wilkinson the production
of GA Secret arran t."
Robert Mantell playing the
lead in the cities and Willis Granger
on the zone night stands. He man
aged the Imperial Theatre in Chi
cago for two seasons, featuring
"The Metropolitan Opera Company"
in repertoire.
He was for years on the business
staff of Buffalo Bills Wild West and
in recent years managed and pro-
duced his own plays.
Anne Saunders (drs. j, A. Darn
abyl will direct the musical re-
hearsals.
Miss Saunders is writer of music
of the popular style and her pub
lished efforts have proven big
sellers.
1t is safe to say the Elks will cover
themselves with glory and those who
accept part will do SO feeling they
will not alone benefit the Lodge but
the professional instruction will add
much to their slumbering talent.

United States Supreme Court-sa-
teresting Aftermath of the Recent
Financial Panic.

Washington, March N12.-The su.
preme court of the District of Colum.
bia has dismissed the proceedings
instituted some months ago by George
w. Austin, of New York, to compel
the secretary of the treasury to issue
him $3,OOO,OO worth of Panama canal
bonds.
The court holds that the secretary
had the righo to reject any and all bids
and to consider the financial condition
of the country, and that if the courts
were to enjoin such proceedings syn
dicate might get control of the entire
bond issue and cause a financial panic.
Austin has appealed his case to the
United States supreme court.
