1t is just about eight years since Lovers
Lane" was last produced in Omaha, but
the opinion then expressed of the play has
undergone very little change. Time mel
lows soma things, but in this case 1t has
only served to accentuate the impression
that the realism of Clyde Fitch in this in
| stance found its expression in apples and
apple blossoms. His men and women do
not ring true. But Mr.. Fitch bore dDwn
hard on the heart interest pedal, and
furnished forth a comedy that for a time
competed with WAY Down East and
then faded to the discard because 1t did
not have the same tear compelling power
that pertains to that sublimated exposition
Of snowstorms and prosecuted heroines
But Mr.. Fitch did a little better, in that he
set everything right In the end, and unites
and reunites the parson and his people, and
the estranged husband and wife and brings
into the shadow at least of Hymen's altar
the minister and the woman he loves, re,
comedies the women folks, softens the hearts
of the stiffnecked and stubborn deacons

"a Millionaire Tramp, at tn,

Two large audiences at the Krug Sunday
witnessed the presentation of the story
Of the tramp who was recalled to his sweet
heart and a fortune after wandering for
five years as a reckless and unknown hobo.
"A Millionaire Tramp is an old play, but
the interest it arouses seems as great as
ever, and there is enough of both comedy
and pathos in it to make 1t entertaining.
Several good lessons are also pointed out in
connection with the plot. The company
appearing in the piece is OF standard
strength. There are two or three thrilling
scenes during the course Of the four acts
that llven the rural and suburban nature
of the play and give It a touch of more
strenuous life.

.oid Innocence, at the boyd.

sssssssss IldSNS
Jason Green believed in everybody; his
brother Flint Green trusted no one; Jason
was the victim of the begging letter-writer,
the lying tradesman. the ~poor-paying
tenant; Flint Green forced his son into
the tender grasp Of the loan shark.
The one man was so guileless and so un-
worldly that he was the easy prey of every
mendicant, but the others hard-hesrtedness
and s-uspiciousness poisoned the mind of one
previously too generous to see an Interior
purpose in anyone.
Tim Murphy is, OF course, the philanthro-
pic soul who changes in act ii to as close
a likeness to his brother as he can achieve.
1t is hard work, however, and he himself
remarks he was happier in the benevolent
state. He has become Jealous Of his utterly
innocent wife, a part played with sympathy
and intelligence by Dorothy sherrod. He
locks I'D the wine cellar, measures the
liquor in a decanter, weighs the meat when
the butcher boy arrives and is sadly puzzled
when the porkchops are found to be over
weight. Meantime his brother is being en-
lightened somewhat as to the result Of
treating a son too hsrshly and is moved to
change his attitude a little.
After the fashion Of comedies, the quirks
and twists are Strengthened out in the last
act. The Good Samaritan will be none the
less humane hereafter, but will not be so
easy while the severity Of his brother will
be less acute.
The comedy is not quite so serious as
the foregoing exposition might indicate. 1t
Is in no wise homiletic or preachy and not
even the doubling of the wife is allowed to
become tragic. Both as the too kindly, I'M
suspecting man in the first act and as the
soured specimen of the second, Mr..
Murphy has obvious opportunities which
are thoroughly appreciated by him. OF
the support the best work is done by Hallet
Thompson as Flint Green. o. ]. Griffin
has been a negro butler for Murphy in
other plays and has always succeeded in
making a good deal out of a small part.
The present case is no exception.
The comedy which is well worth seeing
will be given through Wednesday evening
with a matinee that day.

secured.
Breaks were made in the beaver

daily performance was continued un-

chased from local dealers who adj

never find good market for our

and as this Oyster Shell Scale is
quite difficult to get rid of after it
once gets a start it is very impor-
tant for every one who has any
apple or pear trees to watch them
carefully and begin early to fight
this pest as it is easily carried from
one orchard to another. Many
have asked me about it and how to
spray for it, and the management
of the HERALD kindly granted me
space to cay few words regarding
it in the hope that it may be OF
benefit.
All Buck Brush, or Laurel near

this scale will live upon these
shrubs the same as on apple and
pear trees. They do not infest
peach, plum or cherry trees.
If not killed or held in check
by spraying they will destroy an
orchard in a very few years, as
they increase very rapidly and will
soon cover the entire tree.

E. &. Edwards at Valley, Wash.

Last Sunday was one of the most
beautiful spring days. in this home
Of beautiful days, everything and
everybody was happy, and right in
the middle Of all of it The band,
without previous notice, appeared
on one of our principal street cor
ners and delighted our people with
sweet music. Valley has a band
second to none in this neck of the
the woods, and we are proud of
every one of them from their gifted
leader, e. E. Edwards, to handsome
"Bass" Brown. We we're not fla
vored with copy of the program,
but we ca say that every number
was played with the bands usual
faultless style and expression.
Director Edwards had its members
practicing steadily and regularly
all winter and their playing shows
the result of his and their pains
taking efforts,
We know eff nothing that could
be in better taste than these Sun
day afternoon concerts, certainly
nothing can be more uplifting, or
have a greater power for good than
an outdoor concert by our band,
for SO soon as their music at such
times is heard of just 80 surely will
people living at distance be at
tracted to town where in the eve
ming good sermons await them in
the churches.
The following are the members at
present in town: E. e. Edwards,
director and cornet soloist; LIE Roy
Lambert, solo cor net; Herbert Kul-
ger, LIST cornet; H. e. Frizzel, from
bone; Fetch Jarvis, Jr., tenor; A..
