Workmen have been busy for the
past few days installing the new
plate glass front in the Rudolph
block, preparatory to occupancy by
the DEBORAH Furniture Company. The
large plate windows, and the deep
recess front in the center of the
building, will afford them splendid
opportunity for display, and give
them a modern front. Inside the

modelled, three stories and basement,
and tastily decorated by H. A. Prast-

TONIGHTS ATTRACTION.
"St. Elmo" Most Beautiful PLAY
Will BE at the Grand Wednes.
day Night, Jan. Goth.

Many of the greatest plays of re-
cent years have been dramatizations
of successful novels, ard st Elmo
is certain to add another to the al
ready long list. Every man who
has recognized the truth behind the
powerful character of "St. Elmo
as drawn in Augusta ]. Evans book,
and every woman who has laughed
and wept with the dainty heroine,
will find that the play has simply
added to the compelling interest of
the story.
''St. Elmo" whose early vision of
love is wrecked by a friend whom he
kills, finds his attention caught by
a sweet little girl who begins by hat
ing him. With his distrust of all
women, st. Elmo tempts and tests
the truth of the girl in every pos
sible manner. Backed by great
wealth, he wanders for years, MAX
ing havoc of women's hearts. and
sweeping away his enemies among
his men acquaintance.
The girl aroused from childhood
dreams by a chance view of a duel
and series of thrilling events fol-
lowing in it's wake, begins to realize
that she loves the masterful, cruel
man. An intense struggle between
the forces of good and evil follows.
The play combines a high moral
lesson with wealth of heart stirring
incidents. The victory of the poor,
but talented girl over the forces
that control the home of luxury in
to which she is cast by fate is all the
more complete because of the vivid
ness with which the dangers are
presented.

derful skill she shows.

It is not hereditary as is the case In New
