Better than ever2 is the motto to
be put into effect at the Minnesota
State Fair this year, and everything
indicates that the Exposition will be
bigger, better balanced, more enter
tanning, and more educational than
ever before. The Fair is aptly termed
"Minnesota's greatest single advertise
ment" and is one of, If not her greatest,
educational institution. The Mime
sofa State Fair has progressed with
such giant strides and has been so
much part of the great development
of this entire territory that few people
appreciate its size or greatness, and
fewer realize the tremendous influence
it has exerted in the material upbuild-
ing of this Great Northwest. Not only
in the North Star Safe, but throughout
the entire Northwest the Minnesota
State Fair is considered with pride and
is commonly known as the great
Northwestern Exposition Today this
fair stands alone in the forefront of
similar institutions. In the matter of
attendance and popularity it is without
a peer. The total admission of 381 1854
in 1910 is nearly double that of any
other fair in the United States.
This year every department has been
enlarged and improved. The agricul-
tural and educational exhibits will be
larger and better, every branch of
Northwestern activity will have its dis
play to impress the story of its prog
ress and advancement; the worlds

MADAME x" A
 REMARKABLE DRAMA

&F
 Despite the effo3s Of a bawling ba- by in the balcony land a continuous noise in the gallery at critical mo- ments god sized audience last nfsa; enjoyed the heart-wringing drama Madame N" at the Elks Thcater The play came to Pine Bluff after a remarkably successful run in all Of the larger and many of the smaller cities ill the country and it's success was easily appreciated last night by those who Were simply carried away by the many thrilling scenes in the four acts in which the story is en- braced. To add to the wonderful dramatization a company of unusual merit throughout presented it. q Madame N is indeed a powerful emotional drama The scenes are laid in France and in the final act there is an exact reproduction in ev- cry detail of the picturesque and i'm pressive way in which the courts of justice are arranged and conducted in that country. Since the French judi cial customs differ from ours in so many different ways there must have been extraordinary interest in the play last night on the part of the many members of the legal profess sion and others who witnessed it i here. It is wonderfully striking study of mothers sacrifice for her son.
 Miss Dunlap, who essays the title role, is woman of wonderful tai, ents. She is equal to every demand of emotional acting. As the repent. ent wife she is splendid. As the wo- man with a sad past she is superb but as the prisoner at bar-silent and Eu3 'ering- she reaches the heighth of her wonderful talent As ''Jac- queline Floriot' she is more than a woman with past; she is woman with a present. a vivid, hidPoUs, scarlet present that has made her 2 drinker of ether devotee of drugs yet Withal a woman with a soul be- meath the painted mockery Of her shame.
 Twenty ye2ns later the woman has sunk to the level of the spdden, paint ed. wrecked, utterly lost-eXcept save the divine spark of mCther-love. In this the actress brings forth her greatest range It is hard to con- ceive of expression alone that can produce pity for the woman Of the street, but Miss Dunlap accomplishes it with apparent ease as the fallen i Jacqueline" She was apparently unknown here until last night and her future as great star is but a matter of few years. Howard Gould as the husband of the wretched wo- man, is admirable. He is most real istically merged into the gray-haired judge of twenty years later, showing iall the sorrow of a man prematurely aged at fifty-five
 The son, Raymond Floriot," by Robert nObe1. offers perhaps, one of the most remarkable creations of the inlay. His best efforts are brought forth in the court scene in unknow- F1ngly defending his own mother, hay ling been appointed by the court to represent defemseless woman. He makes a feeble effcrt to conquer his fright and after stammering and 'choking. he breaks forth with flood of appeal and pours out his e1oquence Ehe minor chaIracters are al well done The company 1s one of the most evenly balanced ever brought tc IPine Bluff and no stronger drama has ipseen offered here in recent years.
