 MATINEE TONIGHT.

It is wol thv of remark that the south the ol isinal home of real TO- nance in An erica so seldom finds a place in dramatic literature where for many years the rich possibilities of this section of the country were ut- terly ignored. It is only within the last ten years that any serious effort has been made to preserve in drama tic form the original and interesting types of an carrier day in Southland, and perhaps no dramatic author has been more successful in rigidly ad- herring to the southern environment than Neil Twomoy, who choosing for his inspiration Augusta J. Evans, fa- nous novel, "St. Elmo,' has repro duced in dramatic form the incidents which group themselves around the life of this unique and most interest ing character. With a rare sympathy for scene and situation Mr. Twomey has not dramatized novel, but has produced play graphic intense and compelling as is the book itself. This is being interpreted by an admirable cast and will be seen at the Elks theater this afternoon and tonight.
