ADJUSTMENTS
"The House Of Bondage

Although Seymour Obermer. the
English is young, and Hen
rik Ibsen, the Norwegian, is past the
heyday of youth, and although Ober-
mer, in personal appearance does not
suggest in the slightest degree him
whom New York paragrapher sac
riligeously dubbed 1.-The man with the
midnight whiskers," yet critics are
noting a similarity in the works of the
two men. They are saying that Ober-
mer in "The House of Bondage, the
social drama in which Florence Rob
erts will appear at the keylor Grand
theater Monday; Dec. Z, discloses con-
structive power and rhetorical force
that in direction and result remind on5
strongly of the pessimistic author OF
1.-THE Dolls House." 1t is conceded
however, the Obermer, BETTING his
youth and consequent hopeful DISPOSE
ton. takes a more cheerful and buoy
ant view of life than the aged philos-
opher of Christiana.

1.-THE Great Divide.

Henry Miller, the distinguished ac-
tor-manager, will bring 1.-THE Great Di-
vide" which has won recognition as
"the long awaited great American
play" to the Keylor Grand theater
on December 10. The coming of this
famous drama, which has recently
been presented at the Princess and
Days theaters in New York for over
500 performances, has for some time
been held by our play-lovers as a
bright spot in the indefinite theatre
cal future, and this positive announce
ment of the date of the engagement
will be greeted with pleasure. THE
Great Divide has added much to the
celebrity of Mr.. Miller as a producing
manager and brought from dramatic
Obscurity into permanent renOwn ar
author who will have to be reckoned
with from now on in the American
drama.
THE Great Divide" could easily have
been ruined by less sympathetic pres
entation than was given under the
painstaking direction of Mr.. Miller.
The play is in three acts, the first two
being represented as taking place ir
Arizona and the third in Massachu-
sets In a way, the drama is a con-
flict between the spirit Of the east and
the spirit of the west. An eastern
woman, weighted down by generations
of tradition and cOnventiOnality is
strangely Wooed and still more strange
ly won by western man unfettered
by custom and ignorant of restraint Of
mind and action. The mating of these
opposite natures provOkes great storm
and stress, and raises many intensely
interesting and highly dramatic situa-
tons. One must see this masterful
exposition of American manhood and
womanhood as portrayed in this really
great play to understand adequately
how the ste rms are WeaHiered am
the problem solved.

With that the sergeant closed the

he had searched and investigated, with
the, bars of everything from the "Old

) CAUGHT ON THE Z
; RUN ABOUT TOWN Z

| Day Sergeant Fred Rocker was
i busily engaged in balancing up his ac-
counts as assistant delinquent tax
| collector yesterday afternoon, when
! his attention was caught and held by
an unfamiliar sound; he stopped and
| listened, and even as he did so. the
pIaintive bars of that time-Worn ditty
percolated through the cracks of the
steel doors in the city Jail, and finding
an outlet echoed and reverberated
through the silent corridor:
do you think you'd like me better,
if you thought that / liked your" 1t
was sung with the greatest of pathos,
as though the warbler had lost his
last earthly friend, and the infection
of the siren voice was akin to a buzz
saw rasping through a tough, pine
knot.
The sergeant stood and listened,
spell-bound until the singer reached
that part of the ballad running some-
thing like this:
IF you think that you could learn
to, why don't you try-why don't you
try"
1t gave the clue to the officer at the
desk, and he was not slow in making
his way to the cell wherein J. Dolan,
| who had been arrested by Officer Rolf,
was lying on a bunk, as the silvery
melodies flowed freely on his whiskey-
| tainted breath. Il beg your pardon for
| disturbing you," apologized the man
! in blue, but do you not think 1
could prevail upon your generosity and
good nature and thus induce you to
forego further demonstrations of your
vocal abilities?"
No reply was vouchsafed. but as the
sergeant closed the door, there was a
sound similar to the grunt of a big,
fat porker, and the officer winked
slyly to himself in the thought that
! his floWery request had put the man
to sleep. But hardly had the monot-
ony of the Office resumed it's natural
quiet than the opening bars of I'm
Wearing My Heart Away for You"
were waited skyward on the gentle
December breeze. Again the sergeant
listened, enraptured, while the man con-
tanning such an excess of Joy water
followed from one situation to another,
| way down to Where the Cotton
Blossoms Grow"

his mind to stav with it the desk man

RESIDENCE OF CLYDE
GAINES IS DESTROYED
Fire From Roman Candles Burns
home-very Little In
SuranCe.

The residence of Clyde Gaines on
Hickman street was almost COM
pletely destroyed by fire at IL o'clock
Saturday night. The fire was caused
by sparks from roman candles fly
ing into closet on the back porch
and igniting some clothing. The
blaze spread rapidly to the attic and
in between the walls and it was al
most impossible for the fremen to
reach it with water The loss on both
the house and furniture was almost
total and was only partially covered
by insurance.
The fire department was called out
again Monday morning; this time the
fire was not at Mr.. Gaines residence,
but it was some of his belongings that
were ablaze. While cleaning suit
of clothes that Mr.. Gaines had sent
to Dolphin's tailor shop, can filed
with gasoline exploded setting fire to
the clothes and almost running them.

SOMERSET COMPANY
ORDERED BACK HOME

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 28.-Gov-
ernor Wilson has received reports
from Stearps which show that the
authorities have the situation there
well In hand and the Somerset COM
pany, which was sent to Stearns Sat-
urd yanight, has been ordered to re-
turn home. The Lexington company
will remain on duty for the present
The chief concern seems to be in re-
gard to the miners who fed across to
Tennessee and an effort is being made
to arrest them, but the reports re-
ceived by the Governor show that il
is doubtful if their arrest will be
accomplished.
