AmuSementS
"Lena Rivers

The presentation of Lena Rivers,
which is to be made at the keylor
Grand on Saturday evening, October
3. should prove highly diverting. IT
would seem as if every one had read
Mrs Mary J. Holmes book. and it
would also seem as if every one who
has done so wants to see the play
dramatized from it.
The success of the play has reached
an extraordinary pitch. and judging
from the things said Of the work, there
is no reason why results should be
otherwise. The play is clean, it is
wholesome. its atmosphere is redolent
of the south and its humor is of the
healthy kind. Lena Rivers proves
to be an entertainment that every
body with any sense of humor and
kindness ought to see, for he will laugh
and he will cry just a bit, not be-
touch of human nature in it is 50 po-
tent and sympathetic that it IS ire

pathetic contributions Of human tend
erness and stage art that make one
forget the unreality of the surround
ings and cause one to bestow the
tribute of unexpected but unhindered,
tears.

effort was made to retain all of those
things which made the book so en-
