At the Grana Tonight.
The Ben Greet Players In "Hamlet.


 The Ben Greet Players In "Hamlet.,
 The Ben Greet Players, during their engagement in Montgomery tonight will present the tragedy of Hamlet"
 It will be produced with the simplic- ity in keeping with the acting of Shakespeare's age, and with an inter- pretation placed upon the various parts materially different from that given by the majority of Shakespearean actors of the present day There will be no attempt at change of scene, for the Ben Greet Players believe that "the play is the thing"
 Shakespeare lovers and all lovers of beautiful acting and smooth perform ances always hale with delight their coming. The simple costumes the ab- sence of waits, the uncut hues of the author. the no-star system, but each 8 finished actor. make the play a beauti- full unity.
 The players at present include Miss Keith Waketnan. who. in England. Is considered one of the finest of Portias, and whose Lady Macbeth is spoken of in the highest terms of praise by the American press: MT. Stanley Drewitt, who acts Hamlet having played the part in England, is acknowledged one of the finest actors who ever attempted that most difficult role, bringing to 1t as he does the martial heroism of the soldier and the sharp contrast that Is evident is his moral cowardice and ex- citable superstitions. The other roles are taken by the different members. all well known Shakespearean players, and their appearance in Montgomery will undoubtedly prove one of the most successful of the present season.

hundred guests from the Poncas, Tonka-
was and surrounding tribes Those ac-
| cepting the ponies are supposed to re-
turn the gift with equally expensive ones
| later on, but few of them are in the DO
| sition so to do.
The Poncas hold every Thanksgiving
as beef issue day. If the agent does
not come forward and present them with
herd of cattle for this occasion they
mortgage their property and buy cattle
Of some neighboring ranchman. A beef
issue is the most typical and also the
most picturesque of Indian Thanksgiving
celebrations. For years the government
has forbidden the issue of beef after the
manner of an old time, issue, but on es-
pecial occasions they are allowed the
| amusement of killing their own meat 1t
Is said by the government officers who
succeeded in having the practice stopped
that beef issues tend to make the Indian
wilder and more difficult to civilize.
A hundred cattle are turned loose in
large pacture. The young men of the
tribe are mounted on mustangs and have
shining guns. With the good wishes of
the squaws and medicine men ringing in
their ears, they ride out to kill the cattle.
The beasts have no chance for life what
ever. The chase is accompanied by an
undue amount of wild yelling, while ex-
element grows intense in the camp The
smell of fresh blood makes the squaws
wild, as 1t were. After all the cattle have
been shot down then the killers give a
signal which means that all of the tribe
are at liberty to rush forth and secure
their portion. A half beef is awarded to
each squaw. The beef is cleaned and
cooked on fire on the open plain, while
the medicine men dance their approval
and the warriors sing in their glee. The
feast follows with more dancing, and the
whole day is thus spent, ending late at
night with final gorge.-New York
