THEATRICAL.
DANIEL BOONE ON THE TRAIL.

DANIEL BOONE ON THE TRAIL
'Daniel Boone On the Trail, "a story
of early pioneer days, comes to the
Paris Grand Thursday night. Daniel
Boone is of the best known of pioneer
historical characters. A cleverly writ
ten story of this famous pioneers bril-
liant campaign against the Shawnee
Indians in his successful attempt of
opening up in those troublesome days,
that fertile spot now known as Ken
lucky. A monument now stands at
Frankfort, KY, of Boone, overlooking
the beautiful Kentucky River, where
Boone lived for several years.
The scenery for this famous drama
was painted from photographs taken
on the very ground that Boone travers-
ed and are Immediately recognized by
any one familiar with that part of
Kentucky.
In presenting Daniel Boone On the
Trail" Manager Harris has spared
nothing in the way of making his pro-
duction as real as possible. A tribe of
Sioux Indians are carried and worked
in the many exciting scenes of the
play. A pack of Siberian wolves are
also carried and used in the snow
storm scene.
The burning of the last stick, the
coming of darkness. the attack of
pack of hungry wolves and BOone's
fight for life makes one of the geatest
stage scenes ever presented The last
act shows the surrender of CORVALLIS,
the meeting of Boone and George
Washington, the peace treaty and
Washington message to Boone. This
scene never fails to bring cheers from
every patriotic American, who bears
one spark of patriotism in his breast.
The Indians dressed in their native
war regalia and the wolves in their
cages of captivity are seen on the
streets the day of this attraction.
