Eimo" The word home" Is used
advisedly. for Detroit Is certainly the
home OF the CHASER organization for
q good bit OF each year. The annual
spring stock season begins next Sun

put on Dorothy Vernon OF Haddon

that Mr.. CHASER and his players are

Detroit playgoers liked st. Elmo"
immensely when Mr.. CHASER first pre-
scented IL here last August. The play
seems TO have lost none OF It's interest
since then. II met with remarkable
success In the country's metropolis
and In other eastern cities. and the
crowd that turned out To see IL Sun
day afternoon and evening numbered
many who had seen the piece before.
All the familiar members OF the COM
pany were received with glad acclaim
on their entree. Miss Courtenay. Mr..
CHASER. Mr.. Hester, Mr.. Carver and
Mr.. Stedman were all equally vel
come II was almost like a family
reunion.
Outside OF Mr.. Chaser and Miss
Courtenay, the members OF the com
pany were given but little opportunity
for the display OF their talents, but
they made the most of the opportun-
tiles at hand. Glaser's naturally seri-
Gus mien well-fitted him for the part
of st. Elmo Murray, the cynical
southern aristocrat whose love for

forms the basis OF the story. Miss
Courtenay was charming as Edna.

gree and the southern atmosphere OF
the period just preceding the civil war
is preserved throughout.

The Mystery Of Pencader- Story OF

were words which could be gathered
from the talk OF everyone. TO many
they brought shidder, and probably
did much to terrorize the inhabitants
Of the neighborhood and make them
flee to distant points of safety.
When Howe stretched his army
across the heights OF Iron Hill. the
American army lay near Stanton. Ad-
vance guards were thrown ont and
one OF these extended as far south
ward as the old Welsh Tract Baptist
Church.
For the citizens fthis locality the
war was no longer 4 rumor, but all
actual reality, The times when super
SttiOus efars ruled the days of many
had not altogether passed and it seem
cd as though some terrible visitation
had come to this neighborhood.
One night, as the American picket
paced his patrol al the loot OF the hill,
terrible spectre appeared within ten
feet n front Of him. As he related
the shade gave hi ma nod and derisive
laugh as it turned and galloped away.
he next night a second soldier wit
messed the same Man after man re-
turned from duty with the same terror
stricken faces, only to tell of his awak-
ened dread and belief in the inhabi-
tants OF some ghostly realm The
shots which the most daring fired al-

phasized the danger, for it seemed
to ride unharmed through the bullets
aimed by their best mark 'men. After

bring low this uncnany horseman, a
