 Otis Skinner is one of the best liked actors who visits here annually Mir. Skinner's high position II the dramatic firrr rament has heen established by years of pafnstaking endeayor beh nd the footlsghfs- Theatre-roerS Of tafs city may always rely upon a Droduc= ton of the highest artistic worth when Otis Skfnnerss name is attached there to. He comes to Jackson's New Years matinee and night with a new play, Your Humble Servant. which rerse- sents the joint efforts of those bril- liant young Grarnatists. Pooth Ia k lneton and Harry Leon Wilson The play is described as a romance of stage life and MT. Skinner will be called -up- cn to essay an itinerant tragedian who hmads a small troupe rlavins throuzh n rrao-osls clement is said to Predominate in the play there is an underc -ren- of sentimental interest Judging from a forecast of the story of Your Humble Ser-ant-- 1t is thoroughly modern in srS~ff and treatrent The play shows with an abundance of graphic detail the progress of performance by the troupe of stroll.ng players in coun- try opera house. Lafayette Towers. the character assumed by Otis Skin ner is a Hgat-hearted phi1osophe-. fnunt Of good humor. and a reSou-s e. frrl genius who never says die. When the manager abSconds leaving them stranded he uses his glib gift for ora tory with such good effect that he pro cures the troupe transportation back 10 New York on board a canal boat. The second act which transpires in Theatrical boarding house in New York. is full of p,Guant incidents in which the artificial life of the actor is curiously contrasted with the practical rvery-day existence. The romance of the play is deve,oped in a surprising and novel way and the third act wh oh has it's locale in a New York mansion. where a fashionable vaudeville per Formance is being given. will enable MT Skinner to reveal fresh of s genius for eccentric comedy. The last act of the play shows the dress Ing room of a Broadway theatre. where the ward and rrotege of the wandering actor achieves an eIectrify- Ing success and rewards her mentor and protector with her heart and hand The play Is without a doubt the best thing Mir. Sknne- has ever had and is sure to please local audi snces. Seats are now selling for both performances

Large city dailies sometimes delight
20 make fun of the personal items
that appear in the country press.
They make merry over the mention
Of people visiting each other and in
the little incidents that occur in the
Village or town society life. But the
city dailies are themselves addicted
to the same practice, as everyone
knows who looks at the society notes.
To be sure those papers may say that
they only mention the dOings OF
wealthy or prominent people. But
wealthy and prominent are relative
terms only and the movements and
experiences of people in the small
community are of just as much gen
uine interest TO that community as
are the doings of the Goulds, Fields
and others to the people of New York
and Chicago. and probably more so.
