Beautiful st. Elmo.

Readers of Augusta J. Evans
famous novel est. Elmo and
they are legion, will be interest
ed in the announcement that
Grace Hayward's authentic
dramatizatiOn is to be presented
at the Bentley Grand Opera
House next Wednesday evening,
April 18th.
The play is one of the genuine
successes of the year. This is
not surprising as the book has
long been recognized as a stand
ard of fiction. It was. written
many years ago but is equally as
popular as in our grandparents
time. In fact, book sellers say
that the sales for the past three
years have exceeded that of any
recent work of fiction. It has
been translated in dozen Ian
guages and although typical
American in thought and action,
has a tremendous vogue abroad.
Miss Hayward's dramatization
adheres very closely to the story
of the book and to this is prob
ly due, in large measure, the
instantaneous success of the
play.
In point of box Office receipts
and public interest. "St. Elmo
has been surprise to everyone.
1t has offered additional proof. if
indeed any was needed, that
American playgoers want a
wholesome, well-told story and
will take it every time in prefer
ence to risque importations.
A company of unusual excel
lence will present the play in
this city.

Sp,ingtime! Springtin,e is
lovetine! And the breath Of
spring and the spirit of love
were never more beautifully
translated into words than in
this idyllic story, the combined
work Of three men Of literary
genius. Booth Harrington, Harry
Leon Wilson and Porter Emer-
son Browne. The play, by the
first two named authors, capti-
vafed hundreds of audiences.
The story. by Mr.. Browne, can
not fail to coptivate an entire
nation. Madeleine de Taleffe---
a heroine more beautiful, more
innocent, more divinely inspired
with the innate purity Of a young
girls love, has never been por-
trayed in fiction. And in Gil
bert Steele, the stalwarf young
American soldier in Andrew
Jackson's army, is found hero
who lives up to the traditions
upon which This patriotic nation
was founded. Read Of M. de
Valette, the stern French aristo-
crat; of his dissolufe cousin,
to whom he would we'd Made
leine; Of Father OMara; of
L'Acadienne, the wandering
dancer, who had heart; of
VOLTS sturdy American sharp
shooters; of old time French
customs in Louisiana, where the
Code Napoleon yet prevails to
administer justice on American
soil. Of war and peace, of brav-
cry and cowardice, of love and
hate, Of life and death, and you
will read a romance that creates
a new standard in confemporo-
1eous American fiction.
