In the face Of the present day influx
of foreign actors and plays from across
the water. it might surprise some of the
present generation TO be told that there
was al one time a distinct American
drama, interpreted by a distinctly Ameri-
can school OF acting. but such indeed was
the case, and the old gentleman who ap-
pesred at Chase's last week-Denman
ThOmpsOn-ls the oldest and most
prominent living representative OF that
school OF acting. and we might say OF
that style OF drama also, for he con-
tributed nightly 10 the era by his gifts
as a writer.
Those plays like THE Old Homestead. -

distinct and effective because they de-
pIcted phases Of American life readily

were observable at that time In every

The whole thing may have been ele-

George AIDE may not have hit upon a
distinctly new idea in Father and the
Bows when he made the old gentle
man surprise the sons, but he certainly
worked It up in an entertaining manner
and in a way entirely suitable for the
talents of the comedian for whom it
was intended. and in so doing exceeded
the efforts OF a large majority OF late
would-be constructors Of American pedi-
gree, who seem TO be unable TO unite
ideas. either old or novel, into a vehicle
pleasing 10 the inlOOkeT or falling in
with the talents of the purveyor
Speaking Of the play Of last week.
brings to mind the fact that Mr., Crane
has become one of the landmarks" Of
the American stage; in fact, he is one
of the very few yet remaining of the
old representative school of American
actors attaining the height of his pOpu-
larity at a time when Booth Barrett,
Boucicault, Robson, Raymond, Jefferson.
Clara Morris, Fanny Davenport, Mary
Anderson. and other equally as famous
were prominent figures on our stage.
Up to this point his undoubted comedy
power seems unimpaired although its
outward characteristics have necessarily
passed from the juvenile by consecutive
stages to the almost venerable. Con-
sidering his temperament and PERSONAL
ity, IN connection with his methods, it
would not be remarkable If he gradually
assumed the place on the American
stage left vacant by the late Joseph
jefferson.

In cataloguing the leading actors OF the
United States, high place must be given
10 Viola Allen, who has been a conspic-
uous fgure on our stage for a consider
able period. She has proved her right

distinction in almost every part that she
has played In these days of mush-
room stars. full need Of praise must
be given to those artists who maintain
season after season the same high stan
dard. both In quality Of acting and
choice of plays.
In view of the revival Of "A Winters

Interpretation and the remarkable beauty
and taste displayed in her production of
the play, moves one 20 wonder why she
was not invited to act these roles at ;he
New Theater-or, at any rate. one of
them.
Nothing proves the value of experience
) and the association with the master Of
7one's art as the contemplation of the
work of so finished player as Miss
Allen.
No other player that we have is
credited with so long a list of successful
achievements. The mere fact that many
found The White Sister" gloomy be-
cause it followed a logical course. with
strict adherence TO its genre. is no rea-
son why the exquisite acting OF Miss
Alien. nor the value of the play as a
faithful exposition of actualities. should
go by the board.
In many respects, nos the least of

TURNED TURTLE ON THE LEVEL
Mrs. James McGraw Badly Hurt in
Automobile Accident Between
Here and Mcrna.

Mrs. James McGraw, of this place
met with nearly fatal accident last
Friday while going to Merna in Their
Automobile. Mr.. and Mrs. McGraw
had with them their baby grandson,
age months, and Mrs. VIM. Boyce
also a resident of Broken Bow. All
three of the adults were consider
ably advanced in years and their
ride was to be one of pleasure. The
party was about nine miles out and
had nearly reached it's destination,
when, for some unacountable reason,
while running on level ground at
reasonable rate of speed, the auto
mobile suddenly turned turtle, i'm
prisoning the occupants underneath
the car.
1lr. McCraw and Mrs. Boyce and
the baby only sustained slight injur-
les, Mrs. Boyce escaping the lightess
of all; but Mrs McGraw was render
unconscious by being struck on the
back with the tonneau. fortunately
one of Millers livery teams were
passing at the time of the accident
and the injured lady was quicklye
conveyed to Merna and placed under
DR.. Morrow's care. On making an
examination the physician discover
ed that his patient was paralyZed
from the waist down. This he said
resulted from the shock sustained
to the back which he hoped would
wear off under careful treatment
On Tuesday afternoon, John Nc
GraW motored to Merna and brough
his mother back home. She has so
far improved as to move her feet
slightly, but otherwise she is unable
to use her limbs. How the accident
occurred is somewhat of a mystery
as Mr.. McGraw says the machine wa
under perfect control.
