Two Remarkable Child Actors

In support of Thomas Jefferson who
is to appear at Glendive Opera House
on Tuesday, Dec. %, in Grip Van
Winkle,' is one of the youngest
actresses on the American stage. 1t
is little Miss Gladys Egan, who plays
the part of "Meenie.'' She is only
seven, yet she plays part which in
length would puzzle many an older
actress, and is one of the principals in
the support Of Mr.. Jefferson. Another
remarkable child actor is little Oscar
Johnson, who is three years older.
He assumes the character of little
"Heindrick" and together they form
one of the taking features of the per-
Torrance. The pretty little juvenile
actors are under the competent care of
a gual dian who travels with them all
the time. Their appearance at the
Opera House is sure to be source OF
delight to the younger generation OF
theatre-goers.

CHRISTMAS EVE AND NO LITTLE
STOCKlNS TO FILL.

logan. December "a. 1907.
Our home seems so lonely this evening,
My heart aches as II with a chill;
Our dear little ones have left us,
We've no little stockins to fill.
The time seems so long and SO lonely
No sweet merry voices we hear
Preparing for Christmas tomorrow,
To give us hearty good cheer.
Soon the bells will chime out re.
minder,
Then the children with hearts full
Of glee
Will tumble from cosy warm blankets
To peep In their stocklns to see.
What Santa Claus brought down the
chimney,
What he has slowed snugly away,
Down In the toes Of each stockin.
To cheer them on this happy day.
Grandfather smiles from his paper,
AS he looks DER his glasses to see,
What the dear little ones have to
show him,
That they got from the big Xmas
tree.
And grandma, too, seems to be happy,
AS the children with all kind OF toys
Are having q sweet time together
There are plenty for both, girls and
boys.
Girls with their dishes and dollies,
Happy as happy can be,
Calling for mamma to see them,
And she's happy, too, we can see.
The numberless sweet pretty play
things,
i know ] could not name them all.
There are large drums, flies ana tin
whistles,
And others whose names can't call.
lis truly pleasure to see them,
Even baby seems to understand
Why Christmas Is kept for the children
Tho she's not large enough to stand
We're lonely up here on the hillside,
There's no Christmas tree here to.
night
No dear little heart to make happy
In the morning as soon as its light
Our hearts often yearn for our loved
one,
Especially when Christmas bells
chime,
For there Is vacancy always,
More so at the holiday time.
Our treasure has gone where the
angels
Perhaps, have I nice Christmas tree.
Where he can be Joyous and happy,
For there all are happy and free.

Here Net Monday.

The famous Swedish. A merican com.
edy.drama lyon Yonson" which will
be the attraction at Thatcher's Opera
House next Monday is so familiar to
local play-goers that comment by the
press seems almost superfiuous. How
ever, as the play comes this season as
a revival" there may be those who
do not understand the meaning OF the
term as it is used In this instance.
Since 1t was last seen here it has
been entirely rewritten, one or two
new characters added, the dialogue
brought up to the present that the
comedy lines might not be considered
stale. In this much it is virtually
new play, yet the plot or story Is the
same, and lyon" as played by Ben
Hendricks, is the same 'yolly guide"
Swede as Of yore. The production
this season is said to be superior one,
the scenery. properties, costumes and
everything used in the presentation OF
the play being entirely new. One of
the special features Of the present sea.
son Is an electrical effect used in the
log jam scene that makes this thriller
true to life, Added to this the several
singing specialties introduced by Mr..
Hendricks will make lyon Yonson"
