NOTHING WRONG
In THE PLAY
What Columbus Says of Sins
of the Father.
columbus, Ca, Ledger.)


Those who went out to see the
presentation of Thomas Dlxon's play
THE Sins of the Father" at the
Springer opera house last night, (Sat-
urday) and yesterdays matinee, ex-
pecting to see play that was indecent
and full of the sensational, were per,
tnps, disappointed in this respect, for
nothing was brought out in that line
that would offend the average theatre
going person.
The play is an exceptionally strong
one, with two or three exceptions, it
is we'll staged and instead of being
harmful it creates a new thought from
a moral standpoint, which will prove
a lesson to many of the coming gener-
atlion for higher ideals and for the
betterment of the white race
At the end of the second act, MIR.
Dixon appeared before the curtain and
made a short talk to the audiences
about his play, which was we'll re-
ceived. Mr.. DixOn's assuming the dead
ing role for few days until leading
man can be coached for the place, on
account of an accident to his former
man
Large audiences witnessed both
performances, and the general com
ment expressed on the play was much
more favorable than was expected,
owing to the objections that had been
raised in otter cities.
