"A Gentleman from Mississippi"

The play that has gone crashing
time policies OF theatrical mana gers.
with their closing up on May 1 or
thereabout, and the records of New
York City and Chicago runs will be
22nd with Wednesday, Saturday and
special Thanksgiving matinees in the
Lyceum Theatre Memphis, by the spec
ial company organized by the Messrs.
Robert A.. Fischer and Hans Robert
1t is "a Gentleman from Mississippi
the comedy of Washington official and
social life which Roosevelt, when
president, described as perfectly cork
ing; bully, a RIPPER" and which has had
the expressed approval Of every impor-
tant man or woman who has seen the
comedy, in either it's New York or Chi
cago runs.
"a Gentleman from Mississippi" is
the output of Harrison Rhodes, nov
elist and playwright, and Thomas A.
Wise, the distinguished comedian. 1t
tells a quaint but logical story OF the
arrival of a new senator in Washington,
in the belief that every nan who sits
in Congress is bent on serving his
country. He tells his tale to young
bud" Haines, who covers the news
of the capital for a great New York
City daily; and the spry, knowing re-
porter laughs at the man who for forty
years resided on a plantation, and who
thinks hat he can do a patriotic duty
in the Senate without let or hindrance.
Senator Lapgdon introduces the gift
ed reporter to the two Langdon girls;
and then "Bud" begins to think Sc
riously of accepting a proposition to
become the olderman's private secre-
tary. He at length does accept, and
proceeds to teach the older man the
way the game is always played and the
way it sometimes can We beaten. And
one of the daughters aids in playing
the game young Haines's way. and the
other daughter aids in playing it the
other way to her fathers grief, her own
undoing and the general dismay OF
young Haines, who had thought her a
goddess.

State CONTROLLER Report

Controller J. Eggers has our thanks
for a copy Of his annual report. Ac.
cording TO the figures given in the re.
port. it cost the taxpayers 5000. 973. IL to
carry on the State Government last
year. The Controller estimates the
cost OF the State Government for 1909
at 1878. 240.00. He say that with or.
binary prudence in appropriations and
average economy in expenditure a tax
of 60 cents On the 800 assessed valu-
ought to be enough to defray the
expenses of the State Government for
the next two years, and leave a surplus
for the next Legislature.
