Makes a Sensational Exit from
Lighthouse Bridge with Kind
Assistance OF the Hero.

A tabloid melodrama, with its hero
and its villain, its lost child. its strug-
gle in the dark, its continuous chair of
thrills, was the feature at Proctor's
Theatre last night. deliberately staged
and capably acted, "Shore Folks" with
Mr.. and Mrs. William Robyns and COM
pany, is an excellent piece of stage
work. They have condensed the ex-
element, the plots, the counterplots,
the scenic effects of n four-act melo-
drama all into a twenty-minute scene.
The story relates Of a baby girl thrown
from the deck of a steamer and OF her
being washed ashore n found and
taken care of by a lighthouse-keeper.
The villain who had thrown her over
board returns ten years later to de-
mand the girl, whom the keeper OF the
light, of course refuses to give up.
Then a struggle follows amid hunde
and lightning on the narrow edge OF
the lighthouse bridge, and the villain
is hurled into the seething sea, which
didn't seethe, however, as 1t was OBJ
viously intended it should. The sketch
received six curtain calls.

Willie Painter and his troupe of aero
bats. They do some remarkable feats
in balancing and tumbling.
