THE TRAITOR" POSSESSES
A APOTENT APPEAL TO WOMEN

During the three years in which
The Clansman" has tested the capac-
ity of every theatre in the South it
has been a notable fact that it is the
women who have thronged the thea
ters and who have been most enthus-
iastic in their appreciation ana APP
plause. which Of cuusre bears out the
old aphorism that play to be a great
success must appeal to the women.
Judging by this standard The Trait
or" is eclipsing the brilliant triumph
of the play OF which it is the sequel
for 1t possesses a far more potent
appeal to the fair seN than did its
predecessor. In the first place the
love element is much more in evi-
dence, and while there is no lack of
thrills there is also great plenti-
tude of delicious comedy. Then
again a women dominates the whole
play. The role of Stella shows abso-
lutely a new side of southern woman
hood. 1t is without doubt the most
commanding character ever conceiv-
ed in a play of the south While she
possesses all the sweetness. charm
and simplicity so characteristic of the
daughters of Dixie. the authors have
also invested her with that inborn
nobility and intuitive insight into the
hearts of men that have made such
women as she rulers of empires Such
women as Stella have swayed the
hearts of men ever since creation. 1t !
would be difficult to find in the entire !
range of modern drama a heroine who |
rises to such emotional heights and |
who is at the same time the noblest |
type OF American womanhood 1t is |
a mistaken idea that great emotional
scenes can only be written around a |
Camille or a Mrs. Tanqueray. The /

FIRE AT CENTREvlLLE.
Millinery Store of Mrs. Derden Is
 Totally Destroyed.

Derden of the ire was first discovered it was un- der such headway that it was impos- sible for the flames to be checked and the store house, together with a lot of fine hats and millinery, went up in smoke within a short time. By heroic efforts on the part of the citizens who gath cred about the burning structure the dwelling of Mrs. Derden. near the store, was saved after being slightly dam aged. By skillful management the of fees of Drs. W. J. Nicholson and Pet CTS & Williams and the residence of Mrs. S. P. Davidson wsre saved. The plate glass front of the Centreville Hard ware company's store was badly cracked by the fire, this store being just across the street from the burning building. The loss of the Centreville Hardware company amounts to $s0o with no in- surance. Mrs. Derdens loss amounted to 5000 with about $500 insurance.

Davidson before there was any railroad passing Centreville and when Centreville was a mere village. It was purchased several years ago by Mrs. Derden and overhauled. It was the only wooden building used as a store house on the public square. The origin of the fro Is unknown.
