At the Majestic.

The western melodrama, ACROSS the
Great Divide" presented by the North
Brothers stock at the Majestic drew a
packed house for the initial entertain
ment of the week. 1t is a play full of
comedy and tragedy and startling
clinaxes. the scene being laid in the
Yosemite valley. The circumstances
were supposed to have happened in the
days of long ago, and the characters
are typically western.
The members of the company in a
number of instances were given roles
different from those in which they
usually appear, but played them to the
great satisfaction of the audience. Miss
Robinson; for example, took the part of
Nettie Mendoza, a young girl who was
the pride of the rough men of the val
ley. Miss Russell played the difficult
part of "Juanita," a Mexican girl. and
did it we'll
Mr.. Clyde Callicotte made an excel
lent villain, and Mr.. ST. Vrain was adj
mirable in a Mexican part and is
worthy of special mention. Mr.. Hillard,
as the old pioneer, and Gertrude Stone
as "Pansy" who made love to the ven
cradle settler much to his annoyance,
were the chief mirth makers, time after
time bringing the house down with
laughter. Mr.. Eddie Ferguson as pat
tric'' proved also to be an admirable
fun maker.
