idea had she got into her head which
caused this peculiar conduct towards
her lover? How often he had laugh

love-sick swains, of their fair ones

nothing but caprice? Was it the
frills which the maiden unconscious

for fifty-five years was a minister
wife, and whose knowledge of the
menace to the white race by the black
was acquired by actual observation.
Just before he left for college she
gave him a talk on this subject and he
never forgot it; the spirit of what she
said is embodied in this, his latest
drama. Dixon breaches the physical
mental and moral supremacy of the
white race over the black and that
the intermingling of the races can
only result in the degradation of the
white race. The Sins of the Father
Is an interesting, rather than an en-
tertaining drama. It is like a sermon
and has the same message. 1t has
many lessons every southerner should
learn and quite deserves the tremen-
dous patronage it has enjoyed in this
southern tour. 1t is a strong play fill
ed with cold, hard facts, fired at you
in such an emphatic way that there is
no mistaking the authors purpose.
The subject is treated with delicacy
and with dignity. The scenes are not
changed, all of them being laid ir the
home of Major Daniel Norton. The
furnishings are typically southern.
There are only six people in the cast.
Necessity has developed some mighty
good historic ability in Thomas Dixon
who takes the title role. 1t gives him
the opportunity of driving home the
lessons Of the play. And he does. You
feel his earnestness and realizing the
truth in his assertions, feel grateful
that the south has produced so cour-
ageous man.
After Dixon, the most interesting
part in the cast is Aunt Minerva. a
study in black, by Mrs. Chas. G.. Craig.
Mrs. Craig is southerner; there is
not a particle of doubt about it. Aunt
Minerva has her counterpart in thou
sands of negro mammies throughout
the south; she is perfect type. The
supporting company is good. The
play is filled with tense moments that
demand good acting and they were
met most acceptably.
Dramatic critics declare that in
"Chantelcler" Miss Maude Adams is
best in her curtain speech. The same
might be claimed for Dixon. He gives
his views and doctrines in this short
talk and justifies the presentation of
the play.
The negro characters are good and
enliven the drama.
To see Thomas Dixon is a privilege
that Ardmore people accepted most
gratefully.

To see Thomas Dixon in "The Sins

curtain speech between the second

of those who accuse him of sensation
