The play depicts a struggle between

nobility and souniness of heart. Their
meeting is strange, their wooing more

drama is to reconcile these antitheti-

the main deciding factor. Thus the

in the mountains, to await the produc-

Charlotte Walker and Frank keenan,
in the leading roles, is being enthusi-
asticaIIy received in every city of it's

Civil War days ever presented on the
American stage. The Incompatible

The Great Divide.

The long awaited great American
play, as The Great Divide, has been
called by metropolitan critics, will be

Our playgoers will see this virile,
moving, picturesque drama with its
sweep of passion and depth of senti-
men,t exactly as il was given in New
York. The Great Divide" was written
by William Vaughn Moody, the poet.
In this play Mr.. Moody put blank
verse and rhyme behind him; writing
in unctious, vigorous prose, proving

"Hun1an Hearts"

Human Hearts.
To be transported from the strife OF
town to the atmosphere OF the hill
country, with its simple honest peo-
pie pursuing their lives of affection
and trust, is in itself refreshment.
To hear She singing of the. birds and
those other sounds with the farm, to
hear and see all things that food the
memory with pleasant experiences and
excite the imagination TO, q realizing
sense of the poetry of common things,
is not only a relief from the cares OF
the day, but a renewal OF the better
side of our nature. In the realistic
melodrama, Human Hearts, the
scenes which are chiefly laid among
the hills of Arkansas, is found a
power to charm that is marvellous.
Everything has its purpose and fur
theirs the main intention of an allah
sorbing story of love, hate, injustice
and retribution. The play engages
the sympathies for the sufferings visit
ed on family of plain, honest people,
through the unfortunate marriage OF
the hero with an adventures whom
he thought to reform, but failed; the
temptation of the Old life proving TOD
strong for her. The dark side of this
powerful story is well balanced by hui
NOR, adroitly introduced and made a
necessary element of the action. 10
detail the plot would rob the reader
of the pleasure OF its surprises, for
like Shore Acres, and the Old Home
stead, Human Hearts, while on a
different theme, throbs with interest
true to nature and is an ever welcome
visitor to the discriminating and
thoughtful spectator. That it's pro-
duction will be welcomed by an over
flowing house is almost a foregone
conclusion.

For instance, when she gets on top of

JEFFRIES LIKES KETCHEL.
heavyweight Says stanley Has the
Making Of n Champion.

Los Angeles, Cal, June l4-Among the
ardent admirers Of Stanley Ketchel. the
young whirlwind who recently establish
ed his right TO be reckoned among the
top-notchers in the hstic game by dis
posing Of the Sullivan twins and then
Billy Papke is no less a parsonage than
James J. Jeffries Big jim" was asked
for his opinion Of Ketchel Here's what
JEFF says;
BY his rapid advancement within the
past year. Stanley Ketchel has made him
self the most talked-of-man in the pugi-
liStic world
And he has right 70 this distinction
1t is usually the case where a fighter
wins a couple OF battles from classy men
that he then goes around building I'D a
reputation on what is known in sporting
parlance as dead ones
"Ketchel has not done this.
Stanley took on Joe Thomas when he
was fresh from series OF victories over
men in the East, and had a reputation
OF being invincible. We all know what
was the result
Then he fought the Sullivan twins.
First Mike fell a victim 70 KetcheTs
prowess. and then he followed il by
knocking out Jack Twin, a performance
which Is worthy OF more than passing
interest IN itself Following this he
bested Billy Papke in ten rounds
Now Ketchel is in a position where he
can either boost himself 70 the ton OF
the pugilistic ladder or allow himself 10
sink back 70 his former level Of a sec
ond-rater.
There IS no doubt. in my mind. but
that ketchel viii be a heavyweight be-
fore very long. He is young and strong.
and is gradually increasing in weight
should be reach the heavyweight
limit then let Tommy Burns look out
for I believe that this young fighter will
give Tommy a hard battle.
There are three things that Ketchel
should avoid-making impossible weight.
following the primrose path. and fighting
too often.
Either one Of these three Will send a
fighter 70 the pugilistlc graveyard sooner
or later, and IL won't take long 20 do
IT, either.
Moderation in all things is good. and
this Is particularly true with a fighter
IF Ketchel viii take care Of himself.
there is no reason in the world why he
should not go ahead, make a comfort
able fortune. and have the respect of all
classes. He is a good kid. He has the
chance"
