1.-The Man of the Hour, pre-
scented at the Pullman opera house
Friday night, is one of the best
shows ever seen in Pullman, and
fortunately, it was honored with
almost a capacity house An ex-
cursion train from Moscow
brought many from that town. The
house was filed with one of the
most appreciative audiences of the
season. 1t was also quite comfort
able. and, taking it all in all, it
was one of the most enjoyable
theatrical treats Pullman people
have had in a long time. The
company is a strong one, and the
play, political drama of great
force. is not only intensely inter
esting but highly instructive.
Pullman people are to be congrat-
ulated upon securing such a good
attraction and giving it such good
patronage, for the town was be-
coming known as poor show

best shows would avoid the town

The Land Of Nod. +"

The Land of Nod, which
comes to the Auditorium January
II is a production Of extravaganza
which has not had "a parallel since
the days of the Henderson Chi
cage productions, a decade ago.
The comparison is limited, how
ever, to the magnificence of the
scenery, costumes and the custo-
mary paraphernalia of a produc-
ton OF tins character. Since the
Henderson days many devices
have been effectually introduced
into stage equipment, notably
those produced by electricity. In
this important respect The Lana
of Nod" eclipses anything that
has ever been accomplished in a
presentation of extravaganza IN
this country.

the easy marks-to quote my brother
Frank-my mother is the limit-still
quoting my brother Frank. We never
know what portion OF our belongings
have been handed out to some one
who asked for them. Frank kept his
closet locked until the day he was In
vited to spend the night at Glenwood
and forgot to give the key to the
porter when he sent for his clothes.
Mother had always felt injured by
the locked closet and you should have
seen her face when Frank came home
in state of foaming wrath. She
looked like the cat that ate the
canary. He hasn't locked it since
then. though he runs big risks.
Last week when l came home
found mother in tears. She refused
to explain for some time, think she
had made up her mind never to tell.
but she craved sympathy. 1t seems
that a young man in uniform-she
dwelt upon the uniform as an ex.
tenuating circumstance-had come TO
the door with an express package
from New York upon which there ~aa
charge of $1.55. She said she told
him she didn't know any one in New
York and she thought it queer any
one would send a present with a
charge on it and she thought $1.55 too
much and she had only $3.50 anyway.
The messenger refused the reduced
rates and was going away with the
package when mother managed to
scrape up four pennies, which he &C
cepted.
Il can just imagine her look OF
pleased expectancy as she opened the
package, and the awful realization
when she saw the cake of soap and
the lot of tissue paper she drew.
well, she pledged me to secrecy.
She pretends not to mind Franks
teasing, but she does. A few evenings
later Frank was looking over the pa.
per and said, after making various
EXPLANATIONS all bearing on the in.
credible gullibility of women: 'Trot
out your gold brick, mother. No gay
deceiver ever missed you and this
fellow must have sold you one"
Poor innocent mother said with
great dignity that it wasn't a gold
brick, but cake of soap, and that
she knew she didn't know much, but
she knew enough not to buy a gold
brick and that any one would have
been taken in by his uniform and that
she always thought she could trust me
to keep my word.
Nothing that Frank or could say
would convince her that her conf.
dence was not betrayed.
Zone Saturday she was in a perfect
fever, hunting for two cents. She re-
fused all offers of dimes and nickels
with the mysterious remark that she

see what manner of tradesman the

The Academy-"The Man of the
Hour"

The past three dramatic seasons had
no more emphatic success than George
Broadhurst's greatest OF all American
plays. The Man Of the Hour" which will
be the Offering az the Academy to-mor-
row evening and the balance OF the week
with the usual matinees. The Man Of
the Hour" is American 10 the core, and
one OF its marked characteristics Is the
fact that every character in il is dis
tinctive individuality, and so impresses an
audience. 1t IS hardly conceivable that
one can get anything but good from wit
Messing this play. It appeals to the no
blest and most generous attributes, and
excoriates meanness, hardness. and dis
honesty 10 the last degree Mr.. Broad
hurst has gone straight TO the heart OF ma
ture for his story. but he has glorified
IL and idealized II with his art. and such
is the Office OF ert-to assist nature. The
story is a powerful one of love, devotion
TO hypocrisy and dishonesty. and its
scenes may be laid in any large Ameri-
can city OF to-day.
The attitude OF the press toward The
Man Of the Hour" has been most inter
esting because wholly unusual. On the
day following the New York city produc-
ton there was a perfect unanimity
among all the newspapers as TO the sue
cess and worth OF this great play. This
was echoed in the weekly papers and re-
echoed in the monthly and quarterly
In Chicago and Boston, where the play
has had long runs, the press was also
unanimous in praise Of The
Man of the Hour" and the general YER
dict was that it is the best American play
yet written. A special cast will be seen
during this engagement. 1t musters a roll
