strenuosity of the Wyoming territory,
there is little Of the swashbuckIing ele-
ment in the play. While there is a bad
man and a sheriff, and several COW
punchers, one misses the rip-roaring,
terrifying clash of personalities that is
expected in western play. In fact,
there Is no hint of coarse ruffianism
so often to be found in plays of this
description and while the emotions are
stirred by many moving climaxes, these
are safely side tracked in an artistic
manner by the dramatist until they
satisfy the sense without shocking the
nerves.
Edwin Milton Royle who wrote the
play, has admittedly done the best
work of his career in The Squaw Man,
which by the way, was evolved from
short one-act piece. Mr.. Royle wrote
for the Lambs Gambol in New York
quite four years ago. He has built up
a drama that is of the heroic mould,
and which moves steadily forward with
an memorable purpose until the plot
has been filed out in satisfactory
manner down to the last detail,

SONS, has been the subject Of many
stolies, but never before has 1t been
used for the background of musical
play. A Broken Idol the latest of mu-
steal playlets, which comes with the
recommendation of eight months at the

aid Square, New York, and seven
months at the fremont in Boston, will
be seen al. the Fargo operahouse Nov.

quaint Chinese quarter during the Chi

and electrician free scope for gorgeous
display. A party of tourists are see
ing Chinatown and during frolic in

dentally breaks Chinese idol and they
think they have killed a real China
man. From that time until the final
curtain, complications and ludicrous
situations follow in rapid success. Gus
Sohlke, who has been called the
wizard of stagecraft has put
in many startling surprises, such as q
silken dragon that turns into a bevy
of dancing girls, animated rose vases
which become bewitching show girls
and fiery balloon that sails out over
the heads Of the audience. A capable
cast of Metropolitan favorites will be

And this brings me to marriage in Bur-
ma. The customs here are far different
from those Of Japan, China, Korea or the
other countries l have visited during this
trip around the world. The Japanese girl
has a husband picked out by a match
maker, the Korean takes one at the die
tation of her parents. while the Chinese
maiden Is often sold, and, If married, be-
comes the slave of her mother-in-law.
The Siamese girl is nominally the prop
erty Of the king, and the Malayan Is shut
up in a Mohammedan harem, as are the
millions of women of India, Egypt and
Turkey. The Burmese girl goes about as
she pleases, and marries whom she Will
During her childhood she associates with
the boys. and after marriage she Is look
ed upon as comrade and often rules the
household. She is the business man OF
the establishment. She usually makes
the money, and always carries the purse.
The Burmese marry early and one Is an
old maid If not married before out Of the
teens During the courtship the young
man brings presents of oranges or candy ,
he writes verses in praise OF his lady's
beautiful ear plugs, and she In return
gives him cigars and. perhaps, turban
or shawl knit by herself.
The marriage is little more than a fes-
tival at the house OF the girl. Here the
young couple eat rice together, join hands
and say they lntend 10 I'VE as man anu
wife They are supposed to bill and coo,
feeding one another as the birds do; and
they drink tea with their parents and
parents-in-law. The groom makes the
girl a present consisting of silken skirt
or piece of jewelry, and he is supposed
to furnish the wedding breakfast. After
marriage the two go into seclusion for a
honeymoon Of seven days. and they then
take up their home in the house of the
bride. 1t is presumptuous for them to set
up their own establishment Immediately

built Of wood or bamboo raised upon
posts about eight feet apart. 1t has a

heads on bamboo pillows. There is little
sweeping to do. and the most Of the cook

utensils usually consist of two or three
