downright lawlessness the community
wherein he was sOjOurning was about

Next Bill On Tuesday

Lincoln J. Carriers play of heart
interest and titled TOO Proud to
Beg" will be the attraction at the
Glendive Opera House. Tuesday,
Oct. 6. The play is said to be well
constructed on the lines of an intri-
cate and clever detective story, and
it is promised that there is no lack
of interest throughout the four acts.
In this play, Mr.. Carter has endeav-
ored to demonstrate to the puplic
that he need not rely on the stage
carpenter or scenic artist exclusively
for the success of his play. It. is
said that in 'Too Proud to Beg" he
has written a comedy drama, that
for directness of theme. terseness of
dialogue. cleverness of situation and
legitimate dramatic merit, compares
favorably with more pretentious
plays. The two principal characters
of the piece are the children of the
prosecuted hero. The first act is laid
in the office of the police inspector,
where the villainous plans are con-
cocted. The last scene of this act
shows the warehouse on fire and the
rescue of the hero by his little son.
The second act discloses the interior
of the dive which is the rendezvous
of the thieves. The fourth act shows
the home of the police Inspector and
the capture of the gang. The cast
presenting this play is rare one
numerically and very capable. Spec
ial attention should be given to the
two bright children who play very
important roles.
