1t is the subtle charm of personality

Mary Mannering's portrayal OF Clio
rious Betsy" and at the Academy last
evening one of the most brilliant audi
ences OF tina season sat under the spell
OF this charming actress The genial
Influence OF Miss Mannering's smile
and her many delightful little rrian-

Is graceful. and her voice fingers iii
the memory. Great actresa, no: one
OF the most charming, perhaps. on the
stage to-day, yes The very strength
OF her personality prevents her from
claiming n rank among the first named.
Between the great actress and the
charming one there is all the differ
ence In the world. Those who wit
messed Miss Manner!ng's work last
night will no doubt have pleasant
memories OF the performance for the
remainder of the season.
The play Is one OF those pretty
little affairs that remind one some
what OF the clever dramatizations OF
Paul Kcster. It is play that serves
Its purpose we'll, since it Is SO adnll-
rably adapted to Miss Mannering.
Mr.. Frank Gilmore, SO we'll known
here. did excellent work as Jerome
Bonaparte, and his first entrance was
tho signal for quite IL little reception
by the audience. The supporting
company was quite capable in every
respect. and the production was splcn-
didly mounted.

SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME IN

James ID. Stewart. one of the most

and recognized generally as one OF
the greatest architects In the state,
died suddenly Tuesday morning at
his home OF acute indigestion. He

Thomas.
MIR. Stewart was in Bluefleld a
few days ago and submitted plans
for our new high school building.
His plans received most favorable
comment and would probably have
been adopted but for the fact that
they were thought TO be too elab.
crate for the amount OF money
available.
