"As Told in the HIS" at the Krux.

"As Told I'm n Hills" at the KruE.
This melodrama Of western life rettirns
this season with the added attraction Of
a genuine Indian princess in the leadinq
role. Wah-ta-Waso is a princess in her
own right among her people, her father
being q chief and a leader, and she is a
graduate OF Notre Dame. She Is thus
doubly qualified to- enact the role Of an
Indian princess. which is her part in the
play, and II Is done with a finish that "a
delightful. In her suit Of beaded buckskin
with her Indian ornaments. she is as beau
tiful as the maids the earlier poets sung
Of, and presents a picture Of the Indian
OF fiction rather than the type most white
folks on the reservation borders are "a
miiar with. Her pure English is not IN.
least Of her advantages. and she lifts the
part well above the level Of the play and
makes 1t stand out strong.
The company generally is good. ana the
prologue and eight succeeding scenes are
enacted with sufficient spirit to give the
play a stirring quality. It's action turns
on the ownership OF a rich gold mine left
to the princess by her father, and which
some raseally white men seek to secure for
themselves. Many narrow escapes occur
and a number Of exciting episodes mark
the eourse OF the story. but not many sh Is
are fired. and generally the shock is in the
anticipation rather than the realization.
Some very good speciaities are introduced
during the evening. The Rrug theater was
packed last night at the opening perform
ance and the applause was generous. The
play continues until after Saturday night
with Q matLiee on Saturday afternoon.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION.
BraAdeis Apologies to disappointed
Crowds n the Picture Sale.

We wish to offer a public apology TO the
disappointed patrons who attended the mic
ture sale at Brandeis' store Thursday
evening. We sincerely regret the annoy
anee felt by early corners who were un-
able TO make their way through the
crowds and we regret also that our MIC
ture stock was inadequate to meet the de-
mand.
We had made what we thought TO be am
pie preparation for this sale and had a
large stock in readiness. but we reckoned
without the throngs OF out-of-town visitors
who swelled The crowd to enormous pro-
portions.
The proprietors OF this store are sorrv
that anyone should have TO leave the store
disappointed In a special sale.
We hope those whom we were unable to
wait upon Will be generous enough 70 ac-
eept an apology.

At the Theaters
''Bandanna Land" at the Boyd.

Land" at the Boyd.
Maybe a funnler comedian than Bert Will
liams exists. but he has not yet been cap
italized, and he mighty soon will be after
he has been discovered. And, maybe, a
better dancer than George Wake is some
where twirling his toes. but not in this
section. About the only dancer to whom
Walker would willingly doff his colors is
the other half of his family. Aida Overton
Walker. who fits like a ray Of light
across the stage. as graceful and as nimble
as a butterfly and as light as a sunbeam.
"Bandanna Land" the latest OF musical
comedies arranged for these really gifted
folks and their assistants, was greeted
with roars OF laughter and cheers Of APP
plause at the Boyd theater last light. An
audience that literally stuffed the theater
shouted and clapped its hands and again
and again demanded that certain features
be repeated. And the stage manager was
good to the extent that. what with repeti-
tons and encores, the folks present got
about two and one-half shows for the price
Of one. Which goes to prove that not only
are Williams and Walker good entertainers,
but they are not stingy, either.
1t can be recalled that once this pair
presented Sons Of Ham at the Boyd
theater. and In their four performances
sAa1s o. oebaN as AAAaAAN PCOBAE pAEnEuk as
paid to see them last night at one. But
that little group. who have since followed
through '1n Dahomey'' and other ventures,
knows a good thing. and most OF them were
present last night. able to enjoy the show
all the more because they could recollect
what had gone before. If the cake-walk
OF the Walkers has evoluted into a subli-
mated Merry Widow waltz, it is not the
less pleasing. 1t is such a graceful exhibit
ton. And the other work of these wonder
full dancers has improved with the years.
too. They are no longer so boisterous in
their efforts, and yet they omit nothing.
So 1t is with Williams. His humor has mel
lowed. and what were once experimental
efforts are now certainties with him. He
doesn't spare the richness of his fun. but
lets it flow naturally and freely, and cas-
lily holds his place at the head. His songs
are comical and his eccentric dancing is
the most ludicrous exhibition ever given by
man, and altogether he is a never-endipg
source of delight to those who are looking
for unadulterated fun.
The company supporting the stars this
season is stronger in every way than any
they have ever had here. Much attention
has been given to the singing ability of its
members. and 1t has solos, duets, uuartets
octets and choruses that are worth listen
ing to. And after the singers come the
dancers, who are just as numerous and Just
a. well qualified, and the sub-comedians AMI
other actors know their work and do IT
well. 'Bandanna Land" is in three acts,
each handsomely staged. and with the
bright colors In the costumes, many strik-
ing and some really beautiful pictures are
presented. All in all. 1t well deserves the
attention bestowed upon 1t. The engage
ment lasts till after Saturday night. with
a matinee on Saturday afternoon.

Porto Rico S
Christmas
Few Stockings No C.,imneys

Christmas for the Americans in Por-
to Rico is pretty much the same, SO
far as the observance of the day is
concerned as Christmas at home or
anywhere else.
The chief difference is in those char
acteristics of the season that are due
to or are Influenced by the weather,
which more nearly resembles that Of
the Fourth of July than winter holt
day.
There is the same spirit of good
feeling the same CHEEKY greeting, the
same happy experience for the little
people in the shape of gifts from San
sincere determination on the part Of
their elders to forgive their enemies
which sometimes they do.
Among the natives Christmas day is
church holiday only, and it is very
generally observed by them as such,
but it is not the occasion of family re-
unions nor the day of gifts, as with
us.
The Porto Rlcan family gatherings
occur and their Santa Claus makes his
appearance on the 9th of January

Kriss Kringle manifestly does not come
down the chimney for the very good
reason that there are no chimneys to
Porto Rican houses. and for equally
obvious reasons he does not bring his
reindeer nor his sleigh.
Instead Of hanging up their stock
ings the native children prepare box
filled with grass to represent manger
and place it outside their doors on the
night of the 9Th of January, just as
the little Dutch children in Holland
put out their wooden shoes.
Christmas will always be church
holiday to the natives, and Ell dia de
los Reyes will also probably always
be observed by them. But the Porto
Rican is quick to pick up American

Popularity of MistIetoe.

An interesting item regarding the

whose roots refuse to shoot in the
ground popularity possessed by no
other parasite. 1t is found on the fir,

on the oak.
