'cAsT ASIDE" TOMORROW
One of the Leading Plays Of Present
Time to Be Produced Here.

The pessimist would like to have
us think differently, but the fact re-
mains the same nevertheless.
Mankind is evolving from the stone
age to the highest and many and
varied are the factors due to this
evolution. .--,. r. -.
Evolution is slow and we in our
daily mad rush do not realize the
wonderful strides we are making.
Many things that by their famil-
iarity we do not consider are the
stepping stones to the higher and
noblest man is capable OF. 81.
Lives without number strew the
way of this onward rush, sacrifices
to the evolution of man. Men
preaching, warriors, poets. philoso-
piers make up this mass. Writers
and all up to now the dramatist who
has contributed his best that men
evolve from brute force to the high
est he is capable of being.
Plays, teaching a lesson have be-
come the vogue for the simple reason
the theatre occupies a vastly differ
ent position than it ever did in the
history of CIVILIZATION before, and now
it is looked upon as a teacher along
with being simply a place to laugh
at some grotesque buffonery.: For
instance the big successes of the
stage in the past three years are:
"Paid in Full "The Lion and the
Mouse" "The Servant in the House"
"The Easiest Way" "Just a Wife, )"
al plays with a purpose. Added to
this list may be "Cast Aside" the
big success of the present season. 1t
is a play by L. B. Parker, who OBJ
tanned his theme in ballad of the
same title written some years ago by
Chas. K. Harris.
The play deals with the eternal
question of the sex problem. Mr..
Parker has handled his theme in a.
remarkable way, blending his SER
ious situations with comedy. ,,--
coast Aside will be the Offering
at the Armory tomorrow night. :

Indians were accepting the booze
he appeared on the scene and it was

hearts yearning for the caresses OF
dainty women from Chicago,
Near Circle, Mont, live three Cow
gentlemen" whose souls are calling

"cow gentlemen" and the much-hate1

to the picture of western life painted
for any women who may consider the
appeal. Snug and cozy little frame
cottages, painted green and white
have replaced the "soddies" of the
old days. The COW gentlemen now
ride in automobiles instead of on the
backs of treachrous mustangs ana
