"1he Man From Home"

When Booth Harrington and Harry
Leon Wilson set forth to write a big
American play, they went abroad to
do IT, much on the same principle, ap-
parently, that James Gordon Bennett
when he decided to start the Paris edi-
ton of the, New York Herald. came
back quickly to New York to edit it by
cable. The Tarkington- Wilson reason,
from all accounts, was that pure
Americanism shone all the more
strongly by comparison with European
forms and usages. However that may
be, the result is the successful play
The Man From Home" the drama that
ran for 342 consecutive performances
in Chicago, and has also captured New
York
The chief theme of the play may be
said to be blow at snobbery, and It is
limited that it Is punch that has been
delivered with no uncertain hand, In
ternational marriages of the all too
common barter and sale description,
furnish the means of attack, and the
exposition of this is said to be one OF
the most delicfously humorous matters
concerning a pair Of simple minded
young Americans who have been bitten
by the anglomania bug, that 1t is pos
sible to conceive. Ranged with them
there is an aggregation of titled and
worthless scamps, and the whole is OPP
posed to one lone lawyer from Koko-
mo, Ind, who battles single handed
against the blind mania and rapacity
Of all concerned. The outcome is a
simon-pure streak of brilliant Amerlc-
an Shirt-Sleeye fineSse, and the man
ner of it's working out is limited to be
decidedly taking and attractive bit OF
stage craft. Messrs Liebler & Co, are
responsible for the production of
Messrs. Harrington and Wilson's play
and they have apparently succeeded
admirably. AS is usual with such of
their plays as have been seen here the
scenic mountings may be concluded as
above the average. The engagement
here is set for Tuesday evening, Dec

placed TO catch it.. The tub with its
captive was put outside into the chilly
air, until the snake became torpid with
cold, when 1t was put into a candy jar
and taken to the high school, where
the species was identified.
The banans In which the snake was
found were imported from one Of the
countries in which It's species abound.
The bunch of fruit had been In the
store window for two days. and fruit
had been pulled off from the stem all
about the reptile. without it having
been seen.
1t Is probable that the snake. being
a tropical country reptile, has been In
active ever since 1T reached the tenn
perate zone, or some one of the mum
Der of people who handled the fruit
would have been bitten.
The snake is small specimen of Its
kind. which when full grown attains a
length of from five to seven feet. The
snake is now In the possession OF JOS
