The characters in. Betsy appear and
move about as though in the ordinary
play without music. Then, suddenly, with
out any apparent provocation they burst
into song. The music possesses merit and
the voices are entirely adequate to the
requirements. Miss La Rue is appropri-
ately cast as Betsy, and the role affords
her the opportunity Of appearing in sew
eral stunning gowns. Jasper Mallory, as
the American second husband, in addition
to vocal attachments, is a pianist Of more
than ordinary qualifications. While the
opportunity for comedy work Is neces-
sarily limited. Worthington l.. Romano
and George W. Callahan make the most
of that opportunity.

Academy.

Gossip is supreme, in the little town of
Hardscrabble, N. H, in the presentation
of the old play, Our New Minister" by
Denman Thompson and George w. Ryer,
which was given hearty approval by
a large and enthusiastic audience at the
New Academy last night. The comedy is
in three acts and involves q humorous
tale OF life in small New England vii
nage where the town folks gather in
front Of a grocery store and gossip about
the past life Of this and that person.
The comedy depicting the quaint ways
and sayings OF rustic characters keeps the
audience in constant laughter. The story
is centered around the past life of re-
formed convict Lem Ransom. who re-
turns to Hardscrabble with the determi-
nation Of living down his shame and pro-
viding living for daughter and son, his
wife having died while he was in prison.
The new minister arrives in the town
about the same time and begins to preach
his advance ideas as to how the people
should live. Part of the town doesn
want the released prisoner back in its
midst while another part welcomes his
return. This creates the friction and stirs
the community. The new minister falls
in love with Nance Ransom, the daugh-
ter of the ex-convict, and brings the
father. daughter and son up to good
standing, from where they had been
driven. In the last act the situation is
cleared up by laying the guilt upon the
real offender, for which Lem Ransom
had to suffer. Joseph Conyers, as Darius
Startle. country detective, provides
most Of the fun. Charles F. Adams, as
Curt Holten, who is on the fence about
religion: John e. Gilbert, as Obadiah.
with settled mind; Jay Wellington, as
Thaddeus Strong, the new minister; NJ.
H Hartman, as Lem Ransom. and
Maude Dickinson, as LENS daughter, re-
ceived their share Of appreciation for
their supporting part In the cast. Our
New Minister is comedy creation that
should serve to drive away the blues for
all who witness it.

One of the best shows of the season
opened a weeks engagement at the Ca
sino yesterday. Prof. Roberts and his

attraction. Ordinary house rats are
trained to performances which amazed

last evening. There are also%some prize
cats in the cast, and they go through
their act and fail to indulge their natural
antipathy to the rodent tribe.

motion picture feature.


Saul and David, a strong dramatic
play. is the feature reel Of the Virginia
this week. The scenery is beautiful. the
interest absorbing. Over a thousand peo-
pie help to carry forward the dramatic
action of the play. However. the SUI
preme interest revolves around one figure,
and the dramatic moment Is when the
boy David. laying aside his heavy armor
and disdaining the weapons of battle
takes up his shepherds sling and, ad-
vancing alone, toward the Philistine
army, hurls his stone, and brings down
the mighty Goliath. The film will be
shown all the week in addition to the
regular show.
