CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.

OAh5I0UT OIkGEI 4AGAIhh
The Orpheum Stock Company at the
Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia. will
present Brother Officers" as its this week
attraction. This fascinating drama is
from the pen of Leo Trevor, and furnishes
opportunity for the exhibition of ability
by every member of the popular company.
The roles In Brother Officers" were
created by William Faversham and cast
including Margaret Anglin, Guy Standing
and Joseph Wheelock, Jr. Brother
Officers" Is the story of a young lieutenant
who rises from the ranks through deeds of
signal bravery, and falls In love with a
baroness, who befriends him at his first
awkward appearance in society. Later
this love Is brought into conflict with his
duty to fellow officer and friend, whom
the baroness loves. The theme gives play
to some excellent character work. and
some of the climaxes are intense. William
Ingersoll plays the part of John Kinds,
the brave young officer whose struggles
form the drama, and Marion Barney plays
the baroness with whom he is In love
Next weeks attraction at the Chestnut
street theatre will be ''The Proud Prince, ="
the most gorgeous production the stage
has seen In recent years, play the proper
Interpretation of which requires a com
pany of one hundred men and women, q
series of sumptuous scenic settings and
brilliant costuming. The Proud Prince"
was presented several years ago by E. III.
Sothern, following his successful appear
ance In IF Were King" The play was
written for him by Justin Huntley Nc
earthly, author of the Francois Villon
comedy, and Mr.. Sothern made of it the
most pretentious production of his career
For resident theatrical organization to
undertake the presentation of this massive
drama is no ordinary task. but the Or
pheum Players, under the direction of Mr.
Percy Winter, feel equal to the occasion
and Manager Laferty is confident that the
company will excel all previous efforts
and establish a new high water mark for
beau'if ul and dazzling productions.
The southern favorite, Lillian Maynard,
and her excellent company, will present
at the Mount Holly Theatre, on Monday
evening, January II. her comedy success.
my Dixie Girl" story of Kentucky
life, teeming with all that goes to make
play enjoyable. The comedy scenes fol
low each other in rapid succession and
keep the audience In the best of good ma
ture while the dialogue is rich In wit and
humor. As Dixie, Miss Maynard is seen
as rollicking southern girl, who has been
brought up in the north and who ''hits
de brake beams south" to find her father.
She is the life of the play and keeps the
audience buoyed up with expectancy as
to what she will do or say next. There is
not dull moment from the time she
makes her first entrance until the final
curtain and at times the fun is so fast and
furious the audience has to stop laughing
to catch its breath. While 'tMy Dixie
Grip is essentially comedy there is just
enough melodramatic to add zest to the
performance with touches of pathos here
and there to relieve the strain of too much
laughter.

But only occasionally is there printed a contribution to the subject that actually casts light upon it. Such a contribution is made by the Atlanta Georgian, and it would do some people whole lot of good to read it: There are only two clements in this country of ours today-one dominated by the moneyed interests, the head of which is commonly called Wall street, Standard Oil and similar sounding names, the ether the com mon people. All the possible candi- dates for the presidency can be easi- Iy and quickly classified with one of these two elements. Our lext presi- deRt will be elected by one or the other Mir.

 "of course that. is anticipating and should have no place in ( summing up of the per cent. but nevertheless is indicative of the future.
 Arizona needs more farmers right now that the land may be farmed more intensiyely and it would seem to be the part wisdom to talk jdst as long and just as loud regarding her performance agriculturally as min orally. That is being done in some quarters, notably the Phoenix board of trade. but from the difficulty of securing facts and figures the writer believes the territory is not given sRs credit from an agricultural stand point that the variety and value of its products merit.
 Let the residents of the territory learn these facts or better ones if available, make them known at all times and on all occasions and the future production outlined above will be more than realized"

Of course this means much sweeping, and broom lasts a60ut a month. Thus two +brooms" in army lingo means two months. No prisoner is>permitted to salute an officer in the manner prescribed for soldiers who be have themselves.
