to the door of the ranch house and
its opening to let How out into the
big, lonesome world in the last act
to let the other fellow have Bess, but
there the trail divides.
You can see for yourself that we
wouldn't be SO fused up over this
matter If 1t hadn't been put up to rs
pretty strongly, and you can see, also
how the audience which packed the
Detroit Opera house felt about 1t. The
crowd made Mr.. Edeson come down
