His father sold his farm near Van

The RiQht Of Way.

According to the statistics of the
publishers, Sir Gilbert Parker's novel.
1.-The Right of Way" holds the Am
erican record as a seller during the
past six years. The presentation OF
this play requires two excellent actors
in the roles of Beauty" Steele and
Joe Portugais. The former character
Is that Of a young agnostic lawyer in
Montreal who is at his best when he
is drunk. The latter character is a
Canadian riverman. sort of a relig-
ious fanatic, who believes in an eye for
an eye, and tooth for tooth. and
who commits murder and is saved by
the brilliant lawyer. to whom he be-
comes attached for life. The story Of
the fright of Way" practically gave
Sir Gilbert Parker his literary position
in America and 1t should be accepted
as his best work. The book is one of
the greatest studies of soul and men-
tality that has ever appeared in mod
Presbrey, scholar of great breadth
of mind and experience in literature
and drama. who made the dramatic
version of the Fright of Way" de-
clares that Sir Gilbert does not care
for the polished conventions. but de-
liberately tries to get at the primal
struggle of man for himself Steele
is a type of the brilliant sinner. He
knows that he is sinner.

role. This is said to be a part which
affords Mr.. Keith rare opportunities to
display his comedy. He will be re-
memberd as the leading comedian
with the Cutter Stock company last
year and his many friends will no
doubt be out in full force to welcome
him to Richmond at the head of his
own company. This is Mr.. Keith's
first season with his own enterprise
and that he has surrounded himself
with good support speaks well for the
success of his engagement. Between
the acts there are several specialties
introduced, among them being Mr..
Keith in clever monologue, Helen
Leslie singing soubrette, and Joe eKl-
ley, the Coon Shouter. Ladies will be
free Monday night and the prices will
be 10, 20 and 30 cents. Daily matinees
at 10 cents.

stuffs was lower than that obtaining in

fair trader rather than free trader, at

fifth. BY the side of this, as proved by
