An opportunity will be afforded soon
at the Keylor Grand theater to witness
what is said by the dramatic critics
to be the most charming, romantic play
since 1.-The Princess of Zenda" An
thony Hopes thrilling romance was
given to the stage. The attraction is
Robert M. Bakers characterization of
George Barr McCutcheons delightful
romantic novel Beverly Of Graustark,"
and according to all who have had the
pleasure of witnessing the performance
is by far the strongest and best play of
any Of the dramatized novels which
have been produced in recent years.
The production is under the personal
direction of A. D. Delamater and Will
lam Morris who for number of years
have been prominently identified with
leading Broadway successes.

ain Dreamland.

The much heralded comedy fantasy,
and best effort will be tho attraction
at the Keylor Grand December T. The
story in brief is that of Bob Hammond,
a complacent, well-to-do young man Of
the present day. The first act takes
place in the living room Of the Ham
mond's fashionable uptown horse. 1t
is Mrs Hammond's birthday and the
young wife is very much piGued be-
cause her husband has forgotten that
fact To the annoyance If his wife
and disgust of his mother in law,
Hammond has a decided leaning to-
wards spiritualism. His own creature
comforts and confabs with visitors
from the other world absorb him to the
exclusion of everything else. He re-
turns home filled with enthusiasm over
a conclave of shades that is to take
place that night. In consequence he
declines to take part in some minor
social affairs planned by his wife and
is left to his own devices. Hammond
falls asleep on lounge and spir-
itualistic seance begins in earnest. A
daughter of Venus, the goddess of love-
appears with a magic wand that deals
out thunder and lightning with Jove-
like power and the lf-satisfied young
man of the world is put through
enough mental torture while Gin dream

formation.
This act is the greatest of its kind
ever seen on any stage. The audience
is kept in a continual Whirl of pleas

"a Girl at the Helm"

Those who saw the attempt to stage
this nav last night should not blame
it on Robert B. Smith because he
only wrote the book and lyric, but
according to the program Hamilton
Coleman is reproducing the musical
comedy" 1.-THE Girl at the Helm so
therefore he must stand the force OF
the kicks. Harry Frazee is present
ing Billie Clifford in the production
and he should stand responsible in a
way. Take it throughout, the cast
was far from the kind that Ned Way
burn dreamed about while staging the
book.
Although he was at times clever
in the second act, Clifford does not
seem to be the man who should own
the garage, which is the scene of half
the play. The remainder of the show
is lust outside the garage door, but
in order not to do any damage TO
the foot lights the curtain was drop
ped for minute while the garage
was shifted to the southeast corner
Of the stage.
Marguerite Devon as Dorothy Hig-
ginson, the principal, was no eXcep-
ton to the chorus-she could not sing
either. Mabel Palmer as Minerva
Martindale, did not have such diff
cult leads, and was not bad. IL
Miller. as jim, the boss mechanic III
the garage, was the best in the en-
tire cast, He did not figure to any
great extent, but. he was thoroughly
appreciated at every appearance.
The chorus can be classed with
several on the road this year-they
had weak voices. The male seXtet
was good, however, and proved wei
come change The play itself is good

NATIONS GROWTH DUE TO
BIBLE, SAYS GOV. FORT
Executive Speaks at New York
S0Ciefy'S Centennial.

Governor j. Franklin Fort was the
principal speaker last night at the eel
ebration of the centennial anniversary
OF the organization OF the New York
Bible Society, held in Carnegie Hall,
New York city. Following his address
the Governor and Mayor Mcclellan
were presented with memorial Bibles.
Greetings were read from President
Taft, Governor Hughes and q host Of
well-known men.
In his address Governor Fort declared
that the nation owed its wonderful
growth and prosperity to the Bible,
saying: 1.-THE people Of the earth are
better fed. better clothed and in better
and more healthy surroundings thar
ever before. The hospital Is in every
town and the church in nan thousand
valleys. We have grown from a coun-
try IN the Atlantic seacoast to a ma
tion touching the shores of both the
Atlantic and the Pacific. with islands
In the Southern Gulf and in the seas
OF the Orient.
"AIl this is due to the Bible. IN the
early days when printing was not
known and little knowledge of reading
prevailed it was by the spoken word
that man knew the Scriptures. Every
great world movement for good has
had the Bible at it's base and the spirit
Of the man OF God as it's f~ore-runner.
We have seen great progress in the last
century along the lines of government
and invention. The peace of nations is
safer in the hands of men imbued with
the doctrines Of the Holy Scriptures
than in the largest feet OF Dread
noughts that any nation can build"
